Aburatorigami[edit]

Your new article had some issues when you created. I endeavored to address these issues, but you appear to have undone most of my work. To avoid an edit war, why don't we discuss the problems and see if we can come to a resolution? The issues I attempted to address in my edits to this article were:

Promotional tone - the original text which you introduced was too overly promotional of this product; almost as if you are trying to convince people to buy it.
Structure - the various headings used in the article do not lead to a natural flow of the article. I had tried to clean this up without losing any of the essential information.
References - it appears that the article has been copied from another source (perhaps the Japanese version) with the reference anchors left intact as simple numbers (but with no linked references). Since there is no indication what the references might have been in the original text, the stray numbers were removed.
Unneeded use of Japanese phrases within the text of the article. Since this is the English Wikipedia, it is unreasonable to believe that the readers of this article will have any idea what 金箔打紙製法 means.
Wikilinking - Key phrases (such as Heian period and Edo period) were linked to their respective articles to provide context.

If you believe that my edits were mistaken, please reply here and tell me why. I will be watching your page for a response. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Aburatorigami[edit]

On 18 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Aburatorigami, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that aburatorigami was used by kabuki actors to keep their thick makeup on while absorbing excess oil and sweat? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
