I took a look at the newly listed Mount Yonaha, and can't figure out why you blanked it. It looked like a decent enough start as an article.Boneyard90 (talk) 15:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
The article does not demonstrate any lasting significance and thus fails a number of policies and guidelines so the notability tag should remain. Mtking (edits) 04:29, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I wonder how we can improve the information on the temples where you reverted my changes. The term denomination in Buddhism is a tricky task. Nichiren Buddhism is a part of Mahayana Buddhims. Nichiren Buddhism is not one single school or sect though. Commonly the term Nichiren Sect is being used to describe the time between Nichirens death and the formation of distinct Nichiren Schools. Even though Nichiren Shu is considered the largest and oldest School of Nichiren Buddhism adherents of the Nichiren Shoshu for example would not visit or pray in temples of Nichiren Shu. Omitting the fact that the temples are Nichiren Shu temples is like withholding valuable information form the reader, otherwise the article does not contain more information than any other cheap travel guide. To make a simple comparison it would be strange to label St.Pauls in London or St. Peter in Rome simply a Christian church, one belongs to the Church of England the other is Catholic. To find a compromise at least within the article one should be able to specify to which school the temple belongs to. In the case of Tanjo-ji your change now reads that it is one of the four sacred places of Nichiren Buddhism … this is not true as for most Nichiren Schools outside of Nichiren Shu this simply is not the case. So before we start an edit war maybe we could find some sort of compromise where the respective temple's home is in the sometimes confusing buddhist landscape. Please also note this: Schools_of_Buddhism. One solution would be to be more specific in the info-box. The denomination would be Mahayana, the Tradition would be Nichiren-Buddhims, the School or branch would be Nichiren Shu or like in the case of Taiseki-ji Nichiren Shoshu.--Catflap08 (talk) 10:14, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Your question: Dear anonymous user: 68.174.170.35. Please provide definitive references before modifying an article as you did in the magatama article. The section on the imperial regalia was already well supported by definitive references. I added several more. You can read them in full at Talk:Magatama. Prburley (talk) 16:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
My response: The edit I made was in good faith. I was not modifying an article, merely flagging up the fact that an offline source from 1928 was being used to make a fact statement about something which is intentionally shrouded in mystery. Furthermore, your current assertion that "post-World War II scholarship supports the claim" isn't referenced. What scholarship is this? Can we have some references? Sorry to be a pedant — in fact, I'm sure you are right as you are (from the evidence above) far more knowledgeable about Japan and Japanese history than me. Also, maybe it would be good for one of us to edit the Imperial Regalia of Japan accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.170.35 (talk) 16:16, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your work in expanding Ogasawara Nagahide! Yunshui 雲水 17:50, 7 July 2012 (UTC) |
In fact, off the back of that, I wonder if I might ask you a favour. I've created a number of article in the last few months on comparatively obscure Japanese topics (e.g. Chikaraishi, Ogasawara ryu, Kamizumo, Inuoumono and others). I'm somewhat hampered by my lack of ability to read Japanese sources, though, so I'm limited to what I can find in English - which often isn't much. Since you're clearly more than capable of finding and using Japanese sources, I wonder if you might like to take a look at my backlog and help fill some of them out? I can't promise much by way of a reward - there's a beer in it for you if you're ever passing through Bristol, though. Yunshui 雲水 17:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Please see your DYK nomination; the page is worded rather awkwardly, and I'm not excited about promoting a page that isn't in good English. However, these fixes shouldn't be too hard (I'd do it myself, but I don't have time), and the page will be ready to go once the wording is improved. Nyttend (talk) 21:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

You recently added a reference to Hiroshima Peace Memorial. Unfortunately, the generic page referenced doesn't say anything about the peace memorial. Do you have a more precise reference to a specific page at http://rekishi.jkn21.com or has the reference now move elsewhere? You Japanese skills are obviously far better than mine so a little help navigating rekishi.jkn21.com would be helpful. Many thanks Astronaut (talk) 11:56, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Sure. See User:Piotrus/vector.js for the script for that, it adds a fix ref option to the pull down menu (where move is). It's the one called "Δ script for ref sorting and moving" and consists of two lines of code that follow it. Enjoy! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:52, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the merge, the Portuguese languages articles have been merged too. There's no secret on doing a good merge, be sure to add every valid material that the page being merged contains but the other page doesn't, and erase what's repeated. Victão Lopes Fala! 15:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Unfortunately I ran into problems with this, and I was a bit upset that several of the Nigerians walked out. Got nowhere after 6 weeks. I want everybody to support this and not think I'm trying to compete with their own contests or anything. Instead I think an Africa Destubathon, a general Africa one targeting stubs from all African ones might be the best place to start. Then once we have more support and trust, we can move forward to regional ones. But something which helps blast away the stubs will be a good thing I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:35, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Prburley, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 02:13, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent articles, including Werner Haberkorn, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

I am still rather new as an editor. I have been working on the History of Pernambuco article for a while now (a month?) I see you are the person who has posted on that Article talk page, who also seems to have something going on on his or her talk page, at least recently. I only recently began to realize that user pages and user talk pages existed. So today, I thought I would post on the pages of people who had previously posted on the History of Pernambuco talk page. So...I'm not certain if this sort of communication is desirable, common, or useful, but here it is. Anyway, following the Be Bold encouragement I have just jumped in and started editing. I did make a couple of posts on the History of Pernambuco talk page, thinking that someone in the Brazil project would sometime see it and communicate. However, it appears to me that the article has lost interest. P2dwight (talk) 20:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from pt:Barroco no Brasil to Baroque in Brazil. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((translated page)) template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 03:31, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
