WikiProject Columbia University
Greetings, fellow Columbian. I just created a WikiProject dedicated to Columbia University, the schools, environs, and the notable people who notably affiliated with it. If you want to be part of it, please check out WP:Columbia. It is very barebones right now, but with your help we can expand it and make it fully functional. --  Valley   2   city   ₪‽ 07:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Deep Sea
You should check out WikiProject Council or even WikiProject Council/Proposals to see if you build up support for a new deep sea wikiproject. I would absolutely be willing to help out. If you have more questions, you should leave a message on Sj's talk page tell him what you want to do and I'm sure he'll be able to help you out. — m a k o ๛  12:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah.
I see. You aren't missing anything. You didn't provide a good edit summary though, and it made it seem like vandalism, especially since your edit had already been reverted. (Writing "making edit again" is generally not good). Feel free to make your edit again, I won't revert it. Just make sure to provide a good edit summary please. So sorry about that.

 * Ok. Thanks! I'll make the edit.Hackfish (talk) 00:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, since Darth Panda accidentally rolled it back too, I just made the edit for you. Now it shouldn't be reverted.  My apologies for my revert, I'm sure Darth Panda apologizes too.  DavidWS (talk) 00:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Right, I just realized that as well and would like to apologize for my idiocy... Every two hundred edits or so, I do something absolutely retarded and I'm so sorry that you had to be on the end of that one. D ARTH P ANDA talk 00:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah ok. Thanks for letting me know! Hackfish (talk) 00:42, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I made that mistake too. Just remember to CAPITALIZE the word Redirect.  Jock Boy     ( t - c )  00:43, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 02:04, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Harvard. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge (including Harvard), which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

Shogi question
Hi Hackfish,

I see you speak Japanese and play shogi. I have a question. At Ko shogi, someone asked about the promotion of the 記室 Clerk, on how many guards promote with it. (There are two 前衛 Advance Guards and two 後衛 Rear Guards.) My Japanese is not good enough to tell. Maybe you could help out?

The relevant Japanese text (from ja:広将棋) is:


 * 記室が軍師に成ったとき、同時に前衛と後衛も成る. ただし、記室は敵陣に入っても前衛と後衛の両方が敵陣に入っていなければ成れない.

Now, can you tell if 前衛と後衛の両方 means 前衛の両方と後衛の両方, or does in mean 前衛の1個と後衛の1個?

Also, when it says 前衛と後衛も成る, I assume it means all four 前衛と後衛?

Thank you for your help! — kwami (talk) 15:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Kwami


 * I've never played Ko-syogi. The quoted Japanese sentence is definitely ambiguous, so it could be interpreted as either. My intuition is that it's at least 1 前衛 and 1 後衛 that should be in the opponent side but it could also totally be that all four must be in the opponent side and get promoted.


 * I tried searching for a better documentation but everyone seems to be quoting the Wikipedia article! Sorry I couldn't be much of help here. Good luck!

--Hackfish (talk) 14:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Hackfish. I was hoping the context would somehow disambiguate.
 * I haven't had much luck getting responses in the WP-ja articles, but maybe I should try there again.
 * Almost no-one's played Ko Shogi, so you're not alone there.
 * I'll copy your answer to our talk page.
 * Thanks again! — kwami (talk) 07:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Hiya, there is some new information in the past years in the Japanese wikipedia, can you help update the English page? 66.31.46.165 (talk) 20:26, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Meikyu Kingdom
Please help me figure out if Meikyū Kingdom has real sources online in Japanese. From the sounds of it, this is a cool game worth saving. – SJ + 03:12, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, my impression is that the site linked from the English article (bouken.jp) is a page maintained by a company, not a fansite -- it's linked from the parent company Yellow Submarine (http://www.yellowsubmarine.co.jp/link/link-02.htm). hack fish 23:58, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of common fish names, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tripod fish. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
