Hi Ww, There has been a lot of IP vandalism here and I wonder if you would consider semi-protection please... Johnfos (talk) 17:51, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Nijuuhibaku

Abouth the death of Tsutomu Yamaguchi the last survivor of the double bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who died on January 5, 2010.

Hi. Is "Nijuuhibaku" a word, or the name of a film? —WWoods (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, as far as I properly understood the context of the page, I first though it is a word, but I did not perform a detailed investigation on the topic. My first aim with the wikification of this not yet described term was to attract a next contributor for creating and developing the related page. If you have inspiration and time, please, feel free to search for the information and to contribute. In advance, Thank you very much. Best regards, Shinkolobwe (talk) 23:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
It seems it is also a word that was used as title for a movie. See the two following references (already formatted):

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Wwoods! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 14 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

What is the motivation to archive the MHP talk page after 20 days?

Are there guidelines that you are following? I think the bot started at 30 days. Why a bot, anyways? It does a bad job of archiving, as the sections end up out of chronological order.
