Thanks! ···日本穣 Leave me a new message Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Changing the Requests for Bureaucratship promotion threshold? As a bureaucrat, would you consider assessing the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Changing the Requests for Bureaucratship promotion threshold?? The request at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 22#RFB Promotion Threshold for a bureaucrat to close the discussion has not been addressed. My request to Maxim (talk · contribs) was unanswered because he is inactive and my request to The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) was not answered. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 23:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC) I'll see what I can do. No promises. That page is a prime example of tl;dr. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 07:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC) Thank you, Nihonjoe, for closing the debate when the other bureaucrats were loath to do so. Would you add to your close guidance on what should be done to determine where to lower the bar? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:32, 4 July 2011 (UTC) I added something. It's pretty obvious what needs to be done, though: another discussion to determine the new threshold. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 04:56, 4 July 2011 (UTC) Thank you for the addition. Per the discussion here, discussion about where to place the RfB bar will be postponed until after the two bureaucrat desysoping RfCs are closed. Cunard (talk) 19:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC) Re: William Bliss Baker headstone See here. upstateNYer 19:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC) No problem; it was easier to find than I expected. Just needed some time to get over there. upstateNYer 02:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC) Nihonjoe, I have a euphoric announcement Salutations, Nihonjoe!!! I hope that you are doing well for yourself because I have some good news . . . I am about to release an episode synopsis page out into the Wikipedia ether that I have exerted a gargantuan effort toward -- far more than what I have done with any of my other brain-children. Look forward to it!!! Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 05:54, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Postscript -- this will lead you to my brain-child; please try to be gentle with it (^_^) Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 06:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Thanks for creating that. I've removed all the bizarre formatting characters you had scattered throughout it and moved the page to List of The Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love episodes. I've also linked to it from the The Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love article. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 06:09, 16 July 2011 (UTC) (Stumbles around dizzily and tries to recover himself) . . . Wow, that was fast!!! Nihonjoe: Glad that you took me up on my invitation! I am having a hard time coming to grips with how it only took you eight minutes to respond; were you hanging around on Wikipedia or something? Anyway, what do you think of my latest creation? (^_^) Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 06:20, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Yes, I was online when you posted the first comment, so I looked into it right then. The list will need some work to bring it up to standards, but it's good to have something to start with there. Thanks! ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 19:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC) Pro-Wikipedia Please help me think through a strategy to combat the contrived appearance of an WP:edit war. I propose to use words like this in all future edit summaries at Senkaku Islands and Senkaku Islands dispute: This is a "PRO-WIKIPEDIA" edit. This edit is explained in detail and in advance on talk page Please consider this pair of edits at Senkaku Islands dispute: diff 17:35, 19 July 2011 Tenmei (talk | contribs) (58,318 bytes) (Undid revision 440335859 by Lvhis pro-Wikipedia -- This revert explained in detail and in advance on talk page) diff 16:55, 19 July 2011 Lvhis (talk | contribs) (58,346 bytes) (Reverted 1 edit by Oda Mari (talk): This is a POV title. rv Japanese POV pushing. (TW)) The edit summary of Lvhis is an example of Framing (social science). IMO, we need to reject the false dilemma. Do you understand the meaning of the logical fallacy in a "false dilemma"? Lvhis sets up a misleading pro vs con schema. A better strategy is to emphasize a "pro-Wikipedia" foundation -- that is, to underscore that edits are not pro-Japan nor anti-Japan pro-PRC nor anti-PRC pro-ROC nor anti-ROC In point of fact, an extensive edit history informs my belief that Oda Mari's interests are demonstrably "pro-Wikipedia" .... The first and foremost question is: What is best for the long-term prospects of our collaborative editing project? What do you think? --Tenmei (talk) 18:21, 19 July 2011 (UTC) Signature Hi, Nihonjoe; I just saw your comment at WP:BN and noticed that your signature seemed rather long: indeed it appears to be 355 characters, although WP:SIG specifies a maximum length of 255 characters. I feel slightly bad because it genuinely looks cool, but do you think you could see your way to paring it down slightly? Thanks, ╟─TreasuryTag►prorogation─╢ 15:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC) Thanks for the input. I'll consider it. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 15:54, 20 July 2011 (UTC) Should these be deleted too? Was browsing the 'what links here' on a page, and I was wondering if these should be expunged too? --Malkinann (talk) 07:48, 22 July 2011 (UTC) Nope. User talk pages (and related archives) are not usually deleted. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 15:39, 22 July 2011 (UTC) Ⓧ, Ⓨ, Ⓛ et al. Hi there. I noticed you reverted my edit on Japanese typographic symbols (I confess removing it altogether wasn't really appropriate). What I was referring with "disputable" is a contribution on the talk page (I believe you can read, so I don't have to explain it). I don't know much about the Japanese language and even less about local habits, usage of symbols and such. I assume you know much, much more about these things than I do (looking at your user page and considering I don't have any CDs with Ⓧ or Ⓨ on them). Hence I'd be really grateful if you could make this topic clear in the article. Thanks in advance. –Matěj Grabovský (talk) 18:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC) I'm deeply sorry if I scared you or something. Though, I would really appreciate any kind of reaction (be it positive or negative). Thanks and I'm looking forward. –Matěj Grabovský (talk) 16:04, 1 August 2011 (UTC) Not sure what gave you the idea that you'd scared me. I don't have time to translate such a large document right now. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 06:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC) Your response Hello, I hate to intrude, but I could not find your response to me, I think I already know what it is, but I would just like to have it, If you could please send it to my talk page or do it here, I would appreciate it, thank you. — Phoenix K.

I was asking to change the name "Abandashake" to "AbaNDaSHAKE". You responded it is impossible because it is a name of a group, but it is me - one person, an author, songwriter and performer, official representative, so, please, change the username to "AbaNDaSHAKE" considering it to be my individual nickname. Thank you!

Please take your request and/or arguments to WP:CHUS (or possibly WT:CHU). I don't see that you ever made a request before, so you are welcome to make one there. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 08:03, 6 August 2011 (UTC) Omuta/Omuta, Fufuoka You seem to be involved in a very slow move war at this page. There is a discussion here; your comments are invited. Moonraker12 (talk) 11:54, 6 August 2011 (UTC) It's hardly a move war, but I've commented there. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 17:37, 6 August 2011 (UTC) Blue links and red links in DAB pages What the MOS:DAB says is: "Each entry should have exactly one navigable (blue) link to efficiently guide readers to the most relevant article for that use of the ambiguous term." An item without any blue link does not belong in the list. While a red link may be allowed, there must also be a relevant blue link for that item, one that links to an article that provides information/context for the subject of the item. A blue link to another article that also just mentions the man's name would not be sufficient. Please include such a relevant blue link in the item, or revert yourself. -- Donald Albury 14:45, 9 August 2011 (UTC) You know, it's far less hassle to just create the damn article, which I have now done. Your interpretation is too narrow-minded and also incorrect. I'm not going to keep hashing this out with you, however, as there is no point. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 06:00, 10 August 2011 (UTC) Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards and prizes Please see response at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards and prizes.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:15, 14 August 2011 (UTC) I'm following that page, so there's no reason to remind me to check the page here.

Iruiru! and Dai Bakuhatsu!!!, the first two mini-series titles that spawned the manga's series. There are some scans of it on the net, if you don't have access to it. If need be, I can email you a link. I haven't found anyone whose tried to translate the mini-series titles. Thanks.陣内Jinnai 18:45, 14 August 2011 (UTC) Well, the second is the easiest; it means "The Great Explosion!!!". The first, I'd have to see it in Japanese to be sure. "Derupa" is' probably the name of something or an odd way of saying another word. "Iruiru" could be an emphatic way of saying "Here! Here!" (as in "I'm here"). Do you have a link to a scan of the original Japanese? ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 20:07, 14 August 2011 (UTC) [1]陣内Jinnai 21:08, 14 August 2011 (UTC) Okay, I didn't realize those were the first two chapters of the manga (I actually have the whole series in Japanese). So, it looks like the "Derupa!" part is literally 出る and the sound of a puff of smoke (like you'd see a ninja use), kind of like "poof!". It's a hard concept to translate into English. It's the phrase used to cause something to come out of the magical cylinders Dai's mentor gave him. The イルイル! is the phrase used to cause something to be magically contained within the magical cylinders, so it basically means "In! In!". ダイ爆発!!! basically means "Dai Bursts Forth!", implying that Dai begins his adventure (the whole ダイの大冒険 thing in the title of the series) in an exciting or boisterous manner. Hope that helps! ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 22:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC) Untimely deletion The deletion of the Senkaku Islands mediation threads was unexpected.
