Te form of Japanese verb (beginnings). I couldn't find a good explanation about this in Japanese grammar. Since that article is already long and very messy, I made this new article. It is quite short but I'll be adding to it, so please give it a little time to grow before suggesting any merges. I also created Category:Japanese grammar in preparation for adding more articles like this - in particular about particles. --DannyWilde 12:45, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Since there was not so much to say about the te form, I moved this to Japanese verb conjugations. This page is intended to be a comprehensive list, including irregular and all the usual verbs. So far I have added the imperative form only. --DannyWilde 03:45, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Zenigata Heiji (stub). Partial translation of Japanese Wikipedia article. --DannyWilde 05:43, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Tomokazu Miura -- Momoe Yamaguchi's husband. (abbreviated translation of Japanese wikipedia article, minus list of films, since film titles are such a pain to translate.) --DannyWilde 10:44, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I put this on the Portal. Fg2 04:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Edomoji - article extracted from sci.lang.japan FAQ. Unfortunately, I don't think I can upload the images to Wikipedia, due to the copyright restrictions. --DannyWilde 04:10, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gyaru (stub). I was surprised there was nothing in Wikipedia about this topic already. Linked from gyaru-moji page. --DannyWilde 12:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gari (ginger) (stub) This article is lame, but there was some confusion about the beni shoga page, so I'm adding it - anyone else care to improve this? --DannyWilde 05:24, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for correcting my mistake about gari and beni shoga. Fg2 06:02, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
Portal:Japan. It's under construction and badly needs help! To edit the main portal, including the brief introduction to Japan at the top, click on the Edit tab at the top; to edit the contents of any of the boxes, click on the Edit link inside the box. The initial content is placeholder content (featured article, featured picture, did you know?. Please put something better in those boxes. In editing the Categories section, be sure to put a colon (following the examples in the template) to make sure the text appears in the box, not on the bottom line of the screen.

Nihonjinron I removed the redirect to Japanese people, which seemed rather irrelevant, and moved the small amount of stuff about nihonjinron which was there into the new page. I also added a list of "nihonjinron" ideas to the bottom of the page. This needs work but anyway the topic should certainly have never been redirected to "Japanese people". I've also been fixing up Japanese etiquette. DannyWilde 02:58, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
