I've remerged Ryūkyū Shotō to the English title and restored the redirect, but I think I need more trouts to deal with the editor 虞海 (talk · contribs).—Ryulong (竜龙) 12:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC) I could really use someone with another cluebat at Talk:Ryukyu Islands.—Ryulong (竜龙) 21:36, 20 January 2012 (UTC) Thanks for the redirects Hi there, thanks for closing the AFD and for the redirects [1] and [2]. I guess that answers my questions perfectly. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 09:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification Hi. When you recently edited World Horror Convention, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conrad Williams (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Now I would like to have the old user talk page deleted because the old user name was my real name and the redirect is not needed for reference. I have changed the name in all old discussions so that there is only left one link to the old user talk page, it is from WP:CHUS (and I think this link cannot be changed, right?). So is it possible to make an exception and delete the old user talk page?

That was in December and I never received a comment from an administrator for approval. How can I accelerate the process of editing approval on my sandbox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ArleneW/sandbox ArleneW (talk) 20:35, 19 January 2012 (UTC) I apologize for any confusion. You do not have to have your edits reviewed by an administrator. Any editor here can review your proposed article. Perhaps asking at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation as there are many editors there who can offer assistance in crafting a good article. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:01, 20 January 2012 (UTC) November 1996 Newtype There's apparently a big Anno interview in the Nov 1996 issue which you are listed as having. Is there any chance you could make a scan of it or something?

I will check on it. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC) Right, hence asking for a scan instead. --Gwern (contribs) 00:34 23 January 2012 (GMT) Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:ObiwanLostToBarney/sandbox I would have to disagree with you here, this is not a case of a user working on an article to one day move it to mainspace. This is a case of a page about a story made up by some friends which was correctly deleted from the mainspace so the creator decided to host it in their userspace--Jac16888 Talk 14:13, 24 January 2012 (UTC) Please keep all MfD discussion at the MfD discussion. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 03:59, 25 January 2012 (UTC) 2012 Barnstar The Tireless Contributor Barnstar For all your contributions and hard work on the encyclopedia, I am pleased to present Nihonjoe with this Tireless Contributor Barnstar. — Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 10:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC) Thanks! ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:31, 27 January 2012 (UTC) In-series anime roadmaps needed here Salutations, Nihonjoe! I hope that you are enjoying 2012 so far. I have an episode synopsis page of »Porphy no Nagai Tabi« that is about ready to release into the ether once I finish adding the synopsis for the fourth episode along with a few final touches. What are those final touches, you ask? Let us just say that it yields a very lengthy list of references (^_^). The reason that I am writing is because »Porphy no Nagai Tabi« episode three details how the main character Porphyras goes with his sister Mina to a ocean-side city to accompany his father Christophore back home. This has prompted me to endeavor locating Simitra on a RL map of Greece only for me to learn that Greece is not this big administrative monolith but is divided up into subsections not unlike is the case for how the states of the United States are divided up into counties that each has its own local governing body. At any rate, I located Ioannina in the Epirus region; recalling how Christophore drove his family to Ioannina and back like it was no big deal in episode seven, I surmise that Simitra has to be in Epirus somewhere. Prophyras's mother Anek seemed quite reluctant to allow her son to travel with his sister to the ocean-side city where the bus terminal is located; this along with Prophyras remarking that it takes five different bus routes to arrive at Athens leads me to believe that crossing a regional boundary would have been necessary. Therefore, my hunch is that Porphyras and Mina had to travel to Patras in order to pick up their father in episode three; in spite of the fact that episode eighteen features Porphyras having bought a ferry ticket that is clearly marked Patras, I still need some hard evidence to prove this so that Oda Mari or some other editor with an axe to grind cannot logically chase after my foul-smelling exhaust to cannibalize me for spare parts. I have exhorted Google's assistance to this effect without much success; do you know of any other websites where I can direct my efforts to prove that episode three took place in Patras? On a separate but related note, I also have an episode synopsis page for »Ashita no Nadja« that I have broken up into eight arcs -- England I, France I, Switzerland, Italy I, Spain, Greece + Egypt + Italy II, Austria I (Salzburg + Vienna I), and France II + England II + Vienna @ Austria II. Any idea where to find a resource to support that plot division? The »Candy Candy« episode synopsis page is a headache to read through because TheFarix would not accept my attempt to cluster the episodes into story arcs based on their being reliable sources supporting it. I watched »Candy Candy« from beginning to end, Nihonjoe . . . that clustering method of the episodes I used was NOT because I had nothing constructive to do with my time!!! I am ENRAGED at TheFarix for only saying no without proposing an alternative . . . I need your help so that I can nullify the manifestation of that curriculum for the »Ashita no Nadja« episode synopsis page I am working on. I also do not want this »Porphy no Nagai Tabi« episode synopsis page to end up the battlefield of a savage civil war as was the case with the »Romeo no Aoi Sora« episode synopsis page that I recently released into the ether . . . that Oda Mari behaves as if I were directly at war with Wikipedia!!! My volition is to make Wikipedia better than it is . . . and I can do that if my efforts are not nullified at every turn. I am entreating your assistance to catalyze that epilogue.

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC) Debut of »Porphy no Nagai Tabi« Episode Synopsis Page (^_^) Salutations, Nihonjoe! I thought you might like to know that I have released one of my brainchildren into the Wikipedia ether -- the episode synopsis page for »Porphy no Nagai Tabi«. I have done my best to take into account all the counsel that I have been given . . . all the romanji titles have a reliable source, the kanji episode titles are below-ground so that their accuracy can be verified without taking away the choice of the reader to have accurate information. I have also buried the romanji names of the lyricists, arrangers, composers, and singers of all the music so that the accuracy can be verified. So there should not be any problems, false? Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 02:06, 2 February 2012 (UTC) Nihonjoe! I figured that you would put in an appearance sooner or later if I announced the release of the »Porphy no Nagai Tabi« episode synopsis page into the ether. So how did I do this time? Do you think that I successfully forestalled Oda Mari having a conniption about the Japanese. Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 08:19, 2 February 2012 (UTC) I've mentioned you... at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#Rename_un-vanished_editor. MBisanz talk 00:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC) Oh noes! Thanks for letting me know. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 07:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC) Your bureaucratship Your bureaucratship was closed on 16:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC) by EVula per bureaucrat discussion. In said discussion, one of the parties arguing for your promotion was Rlevese. It turns out that his wife, JoJo, voted in the preceding discussion. This appears to be an unacceptable double vote by Rlevese. I do not believe you were aware of this, nor were you to blame. Would you be willing to have a bureaucrat review the close in this case? Hipocrite (talk) 13:23, 3 February 2012 (UTC) Note that Hipocrite has made this request of at least two other editors, both have sensibly declined the invitation to unnecessary drama: [3], [4]. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC) Multiple 'crats reviewed the close in my case (there was a 'crat discussion which lasted for 4-5 days beyond the initial RfB). I don't see that it made any measurable difference, so this would just be process for process' sake. I see no reason to do as you suggest. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:30, 4 February 2012 (UTC) Japanese ethnicity You were mentioned at Template talk:Japanese ethnicity#Edit request. Cheers. 218.250.159.25 (talk) 04:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digivice I see you closed the AfD as delete, even though there was a plausible argument to redirect made, and that someone else has already created the redirect. Would you mind restoring (or mind if I restored) the history of the article under the redirect? Per WP:ATD, there isn't actually a policy-based reason for hiding the history of the article from non-admins, is there? Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 03:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
