Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Hello Nihonjoe. I don't know if you feel awkward about your contributions to the English Misplaced Pages or not, but your comment here was inappropriate.

Can I have your advice please?

Dear Sir:

I created a page of Mickie Yoshino, a famous Japanese Musician. Once I submitted and declined, the reason was "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.". Then I update the contents and re-submitted in May. https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Mickie_Yoshino#Godiego But after that, the submission was not been reviewed. Could you please help me with your advice? I am not good at English, so I apologize in advance if there's any impoliteness.

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Proposed deletion of Morinaga Hokuriku Dairy

Notice

The article Morinaga Hokuriku Dairy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication this company passes WP:GNG/WP:NCOMPANY

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Pete Hines

Hello, Nihonjoe.

While we have an article on "Todd Howard", I was surprised to see that we don't have an article about "Pete Hines". I left a comment at WikiProject Video games, but with little response. I was just about to start the article today, but I see that you deleted the article ten years ago. I am confident that I can add suitable references that establish notability. Here is one.

Can you restore the deleted material, please? Perhaps there is some salvageable information there. I will edit it and ensure that the information is adequately referenced. Thanks. Axl ¤ 12:40, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

@Axl: Sure. It's been restored to User:Axl/Pete Hines. Once you think it meets notability requirements, feel free to move back to the mainspace. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:28, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. (I am disappointed to see that the deleted text had no references at all. *sigh* ) Axl ¤ 14:12, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
It appears that the deleted text was copied from (or to?) a Fallout-specific fan wiki, which in turn references Bethesda's blog. Of course, this is unsuitable as a source for Misplaced Pages. I have effectively started our article from scratch. Axl ¤ 14:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

UPOL decline

Can you please explain how HeyImEric doesn't meet three criteria for UPOL blocks? 1.) it's promotional 2.) it DOES imply shared use and 3.) it's misleading and it implies that the actual editor is Eric Elliott. From their now deleted spammy draft: Known for: Hey I'm Eric, website:heyimeric.com. Their userpage clearly indicates they are not Eric Elliott. Praxidicae (talk) 21:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Praxidicae: Perhaps if you'd marked it as promotional instead of writing Violation of the username policy as a misleading username that implies shared use? How does it imply shared use? Saying "I'm Eric" doesn't do so by any stretch of the imagination, nor does it imply they are any particular Eric. Just that their name is Eric. It's certainly promotional, but I was going by what you wrote in your report. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:59, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
@Praxidicae: And now they've been blocked as a spam account. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:03, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
It shouldn't need explanation, that's why I reported it to UPOL and not ANI. If you looked at any of their edits, it was completely obvious. Even their userpage. And misleading was another one I selected. "I am the marketing/comms person for Eric blah blah" indicates they are not Eric. Praxidicae (talk) 22:09, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
