Biting the newbies
As a experienced editor, you should be ashamed of this edit. Surely it was obvious that the required action was this. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:16, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm so sorry for my misjudgment and carelessness. I apologized to the user. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 13:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- Although this particular newbie has been editing for four months, with summaries such as (Quick-adding category "Ming Dynasty" (using HotCat)). -- Hoary (talk) 13:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- It's OK, Hoary. The user realized his/her mistake. But I should have noticed it. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 14:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Edit summaries
Constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Mie Hamada has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. As with several other articles, you were removing a table that added content to replace it with a more restrictive template. That's not copy-editing, as you claimed in your edit summaries. Kolindigo (talk) 20:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for my inappropriate edit summaries. I'll be careful. I saw this and checked and edited the Japanese figureskaters. As far as I know, using this template is the standard way to edit Japan-related articles by Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles). Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 04:35, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
For your enjoyment (with a runcible spoon):
speedies
Please give people time to write articles. Do not place a tag for an article being empty one minute after the article was started, as you did for Sex and the media but rather advise the author to add some more content quickly. I agree it's unlikely to become a good enough article, but we give new-comers a chance. If there's nothing there in a week, put a prod tag on it, & I will get it deleted. DGG (talk) 16:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- You are right. I know I am too hasty sometimes. OK. I'll be careful. Thank you for the advise. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 17:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Numismatics in Japan
I wonder what you think of this addition to the aticle about the Tenmei era -- here? As you can see, I've posted an external link within the context of an in-line citation. Does this appear to be a plausible strategy, useful for the casual reader? Or would this link seem better positioned in the "External links" section? At first blush, do you have a preference or a suggestion in this context? --Tenmei (talk) 00:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi! I think in-line citation is better. If a reader wants to know more about it, s/he can directly go to the link. As for the year 1787, was it the year Tokugawa Ienari became a shogun? Ja article says so, en Misplaced Pages says it was 1786 though. Which is correct? Could you check it if you have time? Then add it to the Tenmei era article. Happy editing!

Another pink question
Hi, Oda Mari. In my pink research at the www.walkerplus site, I've come across something puzzling. This report and this report are both on the Best 10 films for 2006... but they are different lists (with some duplicate titles). Am I correct that the second report is on the Pink Grand Prix held by the PG magazine, but that the first is walkplus' own picks for the best 10? (If so, it's confusing that both pages have links to the PG site...) Thanks as always for your help. Dekkappai (talk) 03:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Dekkappai. Yes, you are correct. The first one is the reporter Naoi of Tokyo Walker's own choice. See the date of the page. It's Feb. 2, 2007. I guess the reason of the page linking to PG is for readers to see the actual results. The second one is the report of the ceremony and results of the Gran Prix. It's dated May 8, 2007. And the result is same as the PG's results page. Oda Mari (talk) 04:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- So the first one is the reporter's predictions on the winners of the award, or just personal picks? I guess either way "notable" enough for inclusion. Thanks again! Dekkappai (talk) 04:56, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- It's just personal picks, I should say. There's no word prediction in the page. Oda Mari (talk) 05:01, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Rude and/or vague
Theresa Knott has quite often construed my words as "rude." Please review the following and suggest a better way to avoid being perceived as unhelpfully rude.
In an effort to be "diplomatic," I have more often achieved merely "vague" ... and I would appreciate comments about this problem as well. In order to "find my own voice," I obviously need to learn to avoid being perceived as rude and/or vague.
If this question is better addressed to someone else, okay. In that case, would you suggest someone else to whom I should have reached out? --Tenmei (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
