Asking for your assistance with manga article

Sorry to bother you, Nihonjoe, but I'd like your assistance with some changes being made in the manga article by User:Vapour. I have reverted them and explained why on the talk page, but some additional input would be helpful. He says he is Japanese, BTW. Thanks. Timothy Perper (talk) 22:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

It looks like you and Matt have things under control. ···日本穣 18:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Assistance with Good Article review

Hi Nihonjoe-- if you've got some time, could you please review Tsugaru clan and post your review here? Many thanks. -Tadakuni (talk) 19:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Done. ···日本穣 20:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Aksent

I have nominated Aksent, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Aksent. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 18:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

GameTZ needs protection

Probably could use a short-term protection on GameTZ.com. The kids have come over to play. Dstumme (talk) 11:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a short time. All the newbs won't be able to do anything. ···日本穣 04:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Some of those "newb's" IP addresses resolve to people you and I both know, so they'll likely get tired of this. Dstumme (talk) 13:21, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured they would (regarding both comments). ···日本穣 02:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Accused of copyvio

An anonymous IP block is repeatedly removing pictures I added to Shunsuke Nakamura claiming that they are copyrighted by an Italian TV station. Since I took the pictures myself in Saitama, and have the un-cropped and un-retouched images on my HDD, I'm not too worried about proving the source; but, I was wondering if there is a notice board or someplace to report possible fraudulent copyright claims to something that is in the commons; and, figured that you would be a good person to check with. If the IP continues, I guess I'll put in for either an anon edit block on the article (until he starts going after similar pictures I added to Yuji Nakazawa, Tulio, or others), or an IP range block, unless you have any other ideas. Thanks. Neier (talk) 15:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Let me know if you need any further assistance. ···日本穣 00:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Manga Kenkanryu

Hey, Nihonjoe, I understand you removed the POV at at Manga Kenkanryu - Please post your rationale at ] because this guy is saying there was POV. I moved one sentence into a new section, but I didn't do much substantial stuff. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with Portal:Japan

Hey joe, I just wanted to shoot over a quick thanks for your help on the Portal... especially the incredibly tedious on this day section! It is a huge project that I feel is finally coming to a close and I'm grateful for any help I can get! --Torsodog 05:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. I'm trying to keep pace with the actual date so we don't have the issue of nothing appearing like we did for the last few days. I'm on September 3 as I write this. ···日本穣 05:53, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Fūma no Kojirō

The live action drama that aired last year has its website at "Fuuma-Kojirou.com" so I would think that the Misplaced Pages article about the manga/anime/drama as a whole should reflect the spelling used by the production company of the drama.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 10:17, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

It's likely they used that spelling for the domain name because of limitations in typing "Fūma-Kojirō.com" (with the macrons). We generally don't use website addresses as "official spellings", though I have used them in the past to verify what a katakana-ized word really was. ···日本穣 18:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

DYK!

On 30 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rintaro, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thank you for your contributions! ^o^ - Mailer Diablo 01:20, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Need your help

Hi 日本穣! Please take a look at this edit. Isn't it a point of view statement or an original research? User talk:Manacpowers is repeatedly adding the same statement and other editors thought the user's edit was inappropriate too and reverted it. But he/she doesn't stop. IMHO, the article itself is POV. What is the best way to do about the user and the article? FYI, the user repeatedly did the same edit on Soga no Umako, though he/she stopped to revert it now. Oda Mari (talk) 05:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the protection. Oda Mari (talk) 06:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I also warned him for edit warring (I'm 99.9% sure that the IP in the middle of his reverts is him, just not logged in). ···日本穣 07:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I don't think so, Nihonjoe. The 3RR warning to only him is unreasonable (from bad faith). The anon uses way much better English than Manacpower (that's why I've been asked to help Manac by several editors and watched him) and lives in the same continent with you according to Whois. So I'm 99.99% sure that your guessing is wrong. Just a short discussion would be necessary on the dispute. (I don't want to be involved in the silly war. Michael Fredreich can speak Korean, so that would be very helpful for Manac to understand).--Caspian blue (talk) 07:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

What does living on the same continent have to do with anything? There are over 500 million people living on the same continent as me. So what? The article was protected to keep ANYONE from editing it outside of admins. What's your point? ···日本穣 07:29, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Manac and the anon he live in different places per Whois. My point is that your (unfit) warning based on your some faith and your guessing are wrong. The protection request which Oda Mari asked to you is good though.--Caspian blue (talk) 07:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You know what? I am sick of your blatantly rude comments toward me. Making comments such as yours is totally uncalled for and completely rude. Stay the hell off my talk page. Anything you post here in the future will be deleted without comment. ···日本穣 07:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You were right, 日本穣. See this. Best regards. Oda Mari (talk) 17:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC) Sorry, my mistake. Oda Mari (talk) 17:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

No, Oda Mary, you and Nihonjoe both were wrong according to the revelation on the ip address. I'm right on my guessing.--Caspian blue (talk) 17:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Just drop it already. It doesn't matter if the IP was actually a sock if they were acting in concert to accomplish the same goal. Bugger off and stop harassing people, Appletrees (yes, I did notice that you were actually Appletrees, even though you denied it previously. This doesn't add anything to your credibility here on Misplaced Pages when you lie about coming back under a different username after all the trouble you caused under the previous username).

"Bugger off and stop harrassing people"? The repeated disdainful comments by you are all proven how well you behave within Misplaced Pages. I consider Oda Mari a mature person so respect her in person. When she realizes that she did mistake, she apologizes and moves on. I could not expect such feature from you. I changed the user name via WP:CHU which is a legitimate procedure, so you're speaking very funny. Everybody knows that. It is so pathetic to see that you behave as such. Speaking of the credibility, don't forget about your failure on becoming 'crat twice and the fact that you don't get any respect from both Korean and Japanese editors. Per your harassments here, I only see irony.--Caspian blue (talk) 03:58, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I've spent far too much time trying to work with you in a rational and friendly manner. You have been nothing but an ass to me since you first directed a comment at me. I'm just tired of you, and I don't really care what you think of me. Your opinion on any subject is worthless to me. There are literally thousands of editors with whom I've worked here on Misplaced Pages and with whom I've had little to no disagreements. Out of all of them, you are the absolute worst. None of the others come anywhere close to your level of irrationality and unfriendliness. Now, as I requested, please stop posting to my talk page. You are not welcome on this page. I will continue to work with you elsewhere in the encyclopedia as necessary, but you are banned from this page. You are not worth my time. ···日本穣 04:09, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

The editor has changed usernames more than once; I believe before becoming User:Appletrees s/he was User:Appleby. Badagnani (talk) 03:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know, and every time s/he denies it after the change before finally breaking down and admitting to the lies. This is just one link in a long chain of deceptive and underhanded behavior from this user, not to mention the disruptive editing on articles related to Japan and Korea. I'm betting half of the problems we run into on those article are caused because this editor refuses to compromise or accept any edits s/he doesn't agree with. It's very frustrating, and drives a lot of good editors away from articles on which they might otherwise be very useful resources. The only positive thing I can say is that s/he seems to be getting a little better over time at working with others. Not much, but there does appear to be progress. Hopefully that trend will hasten and continue. ···日本穣 03:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Ha!!! Such false accusations would not be tolerable. Nihonjoe, you're speaking the lies to assure your position and previous mistake.--04:01, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
