Reference library requests to get to as soon as I have time

Newtype USA April 2007 Issue (Part 2)

Hi Nihonjoe! Sorry about resurrecting a really old discussion of ours, but I started working on the Le Chevalier D'Eon article again, and I need some more information about the series' novelization. I found zilch about the novel in my online research, so I thought I'd have better luck with that issue. :-/ Does the it say anything more about the novel (like release date, publisher/s, no. of pages, etc.)? And does it say if anime was based on the novel? Thanks, and sorry for the trouble! None of the public libraries that I have access to carry the magazine. :| --SilentAria ^talk 10:09, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to look up the article again. It may be a little over a week, though, as I'm busy with some other things right now that may take my time. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 18:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay; take your time, and thanks in advance! :D --SilentAria ^talk 18:41, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Still working on it; thanks for being patient. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 05:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Newtype Japan 1990 - 1994

In any of the magazines you have, does it mention anywhere the date that members of CLAMP left the group? If any of the magazines you have does, then could you put the references to them on the article about clamp? It would help alot. Thanks for the trouble. AngelFire3423 (talk) 15:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 18:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference library request

Any chance of nabbing the Newtype USA, September 2003 (Volume 2 Number 9) article on Sailor Moon, please? I believe it may have the ratings for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, but I'm still interested in it even if that's not the case. Thank you. --Malkinann (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in the middle of moving, so I may not be able to access it for a bit. I'll keep your request on my talk page, though, and take care of it as soon as possible (which, again, may be a while). ···日本穣^? · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:53, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, good luck with the move! --Malkinann (talk) 21:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to WT:VG#Magazines

Hello Nihonjoe. It depends on how much the shipping of those magazines will cost. Do you have a ball park figure in US$? And how many of each magazine do you have? Around what time period did you subscribe to them? -sesuPRIME 19:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a ballpark cost for shipping as it will likely depend on where I'm shipping them. There are around 20 PSMs, 10 or so OPM, maybe 5 EGM, and one Nintendo Power. I don't have exact numbers as they are located someplace else. I may have additional ones around here, too. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If Sesuprime ends up not wanting them, I'm interested. I already have a number of those magazines, but am always looking to fill in the holes though. Would it be possible to get a full listing of the issues? Shoot me an email if you can. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 21:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Sure, but it will be a bit (a week or two) as I'm in the middle of moving. I'm looking to get rid of them in a lot, though, not piecemeal. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 22:57, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I guess it depends on how many of the issues I already have. Just shoot me an email whenever you have the info. If I don't receive one, I'll assume Sesu got them. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 00:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Eh, let Guy have them; my main interest was in the NPs. -sesuPRIME 01:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know I have some other NPs somewhere around if you want them. I just haven't gotten to them yet in clearing everything out of this place. :) ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 07:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Around when are those NPs from? -sesuPRIME 19:46, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A few years ago. I'll let you know when I locate them. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 23:18, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here's a list of some of them (there will be more listed as I find them):

NP: volumes 183-189, 191-192
PSM: volumes 3, 6, 8, 10-11, 13, 35-40, 42-66, 68-83, 85-92, 94-99, 101-105, 107-108, 110-116, 118-120, 124-129 (110 includes a lenticular image on a large card with a scene from Pursuit Force, 2 copies of #8)
EGM: volumes 173, 175-177, 180, 183-186, 188-193, 197-198, 213, 216-217
OPM: volumes 1, 67-73-75, 77-79, 81-89, 90, 92-94, 97-106, 108-109, 111-112 (last issue) (most of them have the discs, 2 copies each of 76-77 and 79, some may have my address cut out of the cover)
Official Dreamcast Magazine: volumes 3-11

Again, I'll list more as I find them (including the stack I mentioned originally, which is different than the issues listed above). ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the listing. I'll compare it against my collection when I get home. May take me a while though because I have most of them boxed up. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Just keep in mind this isn't all of them. I have quite a few more of them. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply. I don't have most of the ones you listed, so if Sesu doesn't want them I'll take them. I'll figure out something to do with any repeats. Email me whenever you get a chance so we can work out the shipping details. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

As soon as I finish listing them, I will let you know. I still have more that I haven't listed (or located) yet. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Animage July 1995

I've been working on the New Cutie Honey series article. Back in 2007 I noticed a Yahoo auction (now gone) for "OVA GALS '95", which had pictures and drawings from (and notes on) various OVAs, including "新・キューティーハニー Vol. 3" (the fifth and sixth episodes of that series I believe). It had the lead character Honey (or at least her chest :P), and its title in huge English letters on the cover. Not long ago, I saw this page that says it was a supplement/appendix to the July 1995 Animage.

I then saw the magazine list, where you are listed as an owner of that and other '95 Animages. If you do have it (or just the supplement), I would appreciate any Honey-related notes (dates, info, etc.) it has. I still have the three blurry pictures from the auction's page (I didn't save the page itself), so I can send those if they can help to find the supplement. The Honey article is big but still missing some things (Laserdisc release dates and such)--any help is good help! --an odd name 06:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It will be a bit as I'm currently in the middle of sorting things after a move. Thanks for your patience. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:30, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Death of User Fg2

Fg2 uploaded this image in March 2009. Two rakan evoke a teachable moment and a search for the better focal point.

Sorry if I'm not posting correctly - I just wanted to let you know that fellow Tokyo group member Fg2 passed away last month. He was a frequent contributor to Wikipedia and Commons. I'm not sure of the etiquette on posting things such as this, but his obituary is here:

Caps

Hi, Nihonjoe. Sad news above, indeed... About the capitalization issue you brought up at the Takeo Kimura filmography review, you pointed to: wp:MOS-JA#Titles_of_books_and_other_media, which, as I read it now, doesn't seem to address this particular issue. It seems to address the issue of the Japanese use of English words in titles titles with odd capitalization. It doesn't seem to apply to the romanization of the Japanese title. The issue in question is the practise of putting the romanization in the form of first word in caps, remaining words (except for proper nouns) in lower case. (for example: This Day's Life (今日のいのち, Kyō no inochi), as opposed to This Day's Life (今日のいのち, Kyō no Inochi)) The section refers to Wikipedia:ALBUMCAPS#Capitalization, which says, "In titles of songs or albums in a language other than English, the project standard is to use the capitalization utilized by that language, not the English capitalization."... which doesn't really address non-Roman scripts... Am I reading it wrong? Or is there another part of MOS-JA that does specifically address this?... I'm preparing to go through my own filmographies, and, not having any strong preference either way, would just as soon they be in line with MOS-JA recommendations. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 19:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it's more implied than specifically spelled out (not sure why every last thing needs to be specifically spelled out for some people, either). There are a few places where it states that standard capitalization rules apply, including in the section you reference ("Within the English-language Wikipedia, however, capitalization should be conventional..."). The ALBUMCAPS section you mention is likely referring to languages such as Spanish and French where it is standard to only capitalize the first word of a title rather than the standard used in English which is to capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, and some other words. This has been discussed a few times, and each time the consensus was to apply the English capitalization rules to rōmaji titles as this is the English Wikipedia. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. Not sure I'll convert existing entries, but won't object if someone else does. I'll go with that style from now on then. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 22:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I should have kept my mouth shut

Because I found that someone had moved several pages from non-Hepburn romanized titles for living persons to Hepburn versions, reverted the moves (subjects such as Yoko Kanno and Ryuichi Sakamoto), and brought it up on WT:MOS-JA, there's now a discussion to drastically change the method by which names of modern people are romanized (use Hepburn only, disregard established or common spellings except as redirects), because the subject of an article is not a reliable source for how to spell his or her own name in the English alphabet.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:41, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I've just started to use the Lupin anti-vandal tool and thought I was reverting vandalism. Sorry! I wasn't trying to move the block notice on User:Leecorso11's page. WWE Socks 04:57, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Please be more careful, though, as it appears that this is not the only misfire in your use of that tool. I suggest reviewing edits more carefully before using a semi-automated tool to revert them. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:07, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Newtype article

See Talk:The End of Evangelion#Newtype review. As far as I can tell, the review must've been 2002 or earlier, which would make it one of the first Newtype USA issues; if you could double-check the link's transcription's general fidelity (modulo the obvious typos), that'd be great. (Also nice would be any opinion on whether to include the little spat.) --Gwern (contribs) 15:38 30 October 2009 (GMT)

Deletion review for six World Club Challenge winners templates

An editor has asked for a deletion review of six World Club Challenge winners templates. Because you deleted them, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Tim Song (talk) 07:39, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Editsemiprotected/doc

When I requested protection on this page back in April, I was told that the transcluded doc pages weren't protected. You may want to socialize your decision to protect it. Celestra (talk) 15:15, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Socialize my decision? I don't know what you mean. I protected it because anon IPs kept messing it up. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:25, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To socialize a decision means to discuss it with others. Anon IPs have been messing that page up at a fairly constant rate since I started servicing SPERs. I also thought that protection would help, but I was informed that the intent of the transcluded doc was to allow non-autoconfirmed users to edit something while the templates themselves were protected. That may have been wrong at the time or it may have changed, but you should be aware of it and you might want to discuss it with other admins. Celestra (talk) 06:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Must be a British English meaning as it's never used that way in the States. Thanks for the update. :) There are always exceptions, and this was one of them. I set the protection for a specific time (I forget the exact time length), so it will eventually expire. Hopefully that will dissuade them from this long enough for them to forget about the page. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't know about British English, but the phrase seems popular in the Silicon Valley. I hadn't realized it was uncommon elsewhere. Thanks for sharing that. Cheers, Celestra (talk) 01:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Samurai Articles: Deletion Violation

Hello, this is user:IMMORTAL SAMURAI, a frequent Wikipedia contributor to the Japanese "project" here. I've read into the history of most of the samurai articles that once existed here on Wikipedia and it said that you, personally, for not the first time, deleted over 100--even 200--samurai related articles within the past few months without any reason stated. I understand Wikipedia's administration recruiting policies are very non-rigorous, but don't you think this is stepping the line too far in what power you have here?

Therefore I ask that you please begin revising these articles, for what you've done to Wikipedia has been critically thoughtless and harmful to our project. If you choose to ignore this warning, however, I will be forced to speak to other administrators concerning your violation of power and have you suspended or banned from it. Talk to IMMORTAL SAMURAI 12:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I stand by all the actions taken regarding any articles you refer to here.

May I ask why you stand by the actions you took regarding the articles I am referring to? From what I can see of them they weren't copyright-violated articles and the references were legitimate, making them perfectly regular articles that had no reason to be deleted. To me it seems you're just trying to earn merit by using the non-rigorous policies of Wikipedia as a whole as a scapegoat for negative edits. Please do explain.
