Philipp Franz von Siebold
Hello! You changed Philipp Franz von Siebold. IMHO thereby the information, that Siebold was the first doing this, is lost now. Was that your intention? --Kai.pedia (talk) 18:40, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Justlettersandnumbers. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Felice Varini, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

"Fake Geisha"
Hi I see you re-added your piece about "fake geisha" to the Geisha article, but the source you quote is actually talking about tourists dressing up as Maiko - not Geisha, so it's hard to see why this was added to the Geisha article. If anywhere, it could go in the Maiko article, but you will need to tidy up the wording, as phrasing such as "that will dress you for a fee" and "allow you to head out into the streets in your costume" reads like a "how-to" guide, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. (See WP:NOTGUIDE for details on this.) Also, the Youtube link you re-added to the External Links section does not explain anything about geisha, so is inappropriate, as per WP:ELNO. --DAJF (talk) 13:57, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


 * The word Geisha seems to mean geiko and maiko outside Japan. Many westerners call maiko geisha. When they see fake maiko in Kyoto, they often believe they are geisha. It's because I wrote about fake geisha(geiko and maiko) in the geisha article. I'm a poor English speaker as you see, so I hoped someone would brush up my texts better. I wanted people who read the Geisha article to avoid misunderstanding real geisha, so I just informed about it. The Youtube video is also an information about what real geisha are like. I think it shows an aspect of them as performer/dancer.--Benichan (talk) 14:35, 30 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, your latest edit re-added original research and an inappropriate (YouTube) external link. I would strongly recommend that you read through the guidelines at WP:NOR and WP:ELNO, as if you continue to re-add such material, you can expect to be blocked from editing, as indicated in the warning I pasted below. It's also rather presumptuous to expect other editors to clean up your edits when you know they are not up to standard. If you are not a native English speaker, you might be able to contribute more productively on the Wikipedia in your native language. --DAJF (talk) 04:28, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Geisha. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 04:20, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jan Cock Blomhoff, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Japanese, Indonesian and Javanese ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Jan_Cock_Blomhoff check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Jan_Cock_Blomhoff?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hideo Noda, born in Agnew
Hi, Benichan. Back in 2015, you added that Hideo Noda was born in Agnew, California. I know that was a long time ago, but do you by any chance have a cite for that? I would like to add him as a notable person in the Agnew, California article, if I had a cite. Thanks. TJRC (talk) 18:06, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I've added two sources just now. Kuboshima Seiichiro(jp:窪島誠一郎)'s book said Noda was born in サンタクララ郡アグニュー一一四四番地 (144 Agnew Santa Clara California). Kuboshima is biographer of Noda. Benichan (talk) 23:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
