Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:25, 11 July 2007

日本穣 may not always respond swiftly to queries, so thank you for your patience.

Yoshizawa Hitomi

I noticed you rated the article about Yoshizawa Hitomi a 'start'. I do agree wth you on that one, but, compared to what I and others have written on, say, Michishige Sayumi or Konno Asami, I can but think one of two things:

• Either your decision to rate Yossie's article as 'start' ws correct and the other articles should reflect that,i.e,be promoted, or;
• The article you rated is really a stub.

Since I've written parts of the Sayumi article I can't really vote, so I'd like to your opinion on the issue. -- Ishikawa Minoru 23:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

You are always welcome to re-evaluate any assessments you think should be changed. I've reassessed these two. ···日本穣 23:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I know they still need to be worked on, but I think this is only fair. -- Ishikawa Minoru 23:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that I'm not the final word on assessments. I'm fine if you disagree with it and bring it up on the article talk page. You can even reassess it yourself and change the assessment if you wish. Anyone part of WikiProject Japan is welcome to assess articles. If you aren't a member (I haven't looked to see), feel free to join over here. ···日本穣 06:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Translation

Hi! I read in your userpage that you speak Japanese and I thought you may be able to help me. I found an interview with Yuki Kajiura which would be quite useful in the .hack//Sign article, but it's in Japanese. Since I'm just starting to study the language, I can't translate it myself. So if it doesn't bother you, could you translate it for me? I would really appreciate it (the interview is in these three scans 123).Kazu-kun 04:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...it'll be a bit before I can do that as I have a few other items on my to-do list before that. If you don't mind waiting a bit, I can take a stab at them. ···日本穣 06:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind waiting. Take your time. Thanks.Kazu-kun 18:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Article assessments

Hi, Nihonjoe. I've noticed you've recently assessed several articles I've been working on. I'd like to thank you for taking the time to review this work, and let you know I think your assessments have been fair in all cases. One question-- Some of the articles I've been contributing to were rated "Stub" long ago, but have since been expanded and improved. How would I go about getting someone to re-evaluate them? (I realize it's probably not against the rules for me to do so myself, but I'd feel a bit of conflict of interest in doing so.) Thanks again. Your work is appreciated. Dekkappai 01:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

If you don't want to reassess them yourself, feel free to post a request over on Wiki Project Japan's talk page. Some of my assessments may not be excellent as I'm doing a quick assessment in order to clear out the unassessed category. I think it's important to keep that category clear if possible so newly tagged articles are more easily seen and assessed. ···日本穣 02:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Nihonjoe. I'll do that. Dekkappai 02:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

By the way, Nihonjoe, I took a look at that backlog list and decided not to add more work by listing re-assessments. I'll do them myself eventually. Dekkappai 21:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good. Let me know if you have any questions. ···日本穣 22:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Japan Rail Pass

Why was the Japan Rail Pass assessed as only a "B"? I think everything that could possibly be said about it has been said. I've gone over what it is, where to get it and how to use it. If you have any ideas as to what more could be said, please let me know and I'll work on it. Hosikawafuzi 03:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

In order to be assessed higher (GA, A, or FA), it would need to pass a review for that level. Feel free to put it up for review for Good Article status. ···日本穣 06:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

xkcd comic

That's a funny comic. It doesn't matter what the guy says, but do it without a citation and you'll receive a Misplaced Pages protester. Any chance of Randall Munroe releasing that into Misplaced Pages as free content? -- Jreferee 13:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I guess you'd have to ask him. I just happened onto it because my friend sent it to me because he knew I edited Misplaced Pages a fair amount. ···日本穣 15:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

need your help in editing the article about "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (anime)

Hei.. I saw that you have recently helped fix this article (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (anime)) a bit.. I would really appriciate help fixing up my latest changes to the article.. Have a great day. Acidburn24m 20:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fix your changes? What did you do? ···日本穣 20:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Film credits glossary

I've just noticed the new page you started for the film credits glossary (which you also created over at Wiktionary); I think it's a great and extremely useful page. I've added a few entries to the glossary myself, so I hope these would be OK. I've also noticed that you haven't added some of the entries (such as gensaku, genga, dōga, etc.), which you had included in your first drafts for the page, would you be looking to add or expand them soon? Again, thanks a lot for starting this excellent page (^_^). ···巌流 21:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to add anything that is missing. It's a work in progress. ···日本穣 21:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Adachi works

Thanks for improving the articles on Adachi's works. I'd been thinking on starting on those myself once I worked my way through the works of Kiyohiko Azuma, only you're doing a much more complete job than I would have. Instead, may I offer my services as a copyeditor with outside eyes, for when you get an article semi-stable? If, just let me know when you think something's ready. —Quasirandom 19:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure. I'm pretty much finished with the following: Itsumo Misora, Cross Game, Miyuki, Nine, Rough, and Slow Step. Let me know if you have any questions. ···日本穣 19:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I'll work on them over the next couple weeks, then. —Quasirandom 19:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

There, did Itsumo Misora, and attached a query to one bit. Let me know if the style works for you. —Quasirandom 01:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

nihonjoe/samurai

Mogami Yoshimori needs to be addressed. That aside, if possible, please delete the page - it comes up in numerous google searches but doesn't serve a purpose. Thanks. --Kuuzo 04:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. ···日本穣 06:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Nice job on the Petit Apple Pie article. I think it will surely blossom into a full-fledged FA someday. Beneath the bridge 08:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
