Japanese architecture
Hi LordAmeth. I've recently done some work expanding the article on Japanese architecture and have submitted it for peer review. As you have a wealth of experience writing Japanese (architecture) articles I'd really appreciate if you could spare some time to read it through and leave some comments. Thanks.

File source problem with File:LotRExhibitLogo.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:LotRExhibitLogo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited The Teahouse of the August Moon (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chaya (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

MSU Interview
Dear LordAmeth,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 03:56, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

WPFC subprojects
Hello LordAmeth, you are the only current active member of the GOV task force. Members are considered inactive if their last contribution to Wikipedia has been over 6 months ago. There is a current discussion going on concerning the merging and removal of some of the WPFC's subprojects due to the overlap and relative inactivity of those currently extant. Please respond to me soon with your support of or opposition to the merging of a single Extraordinary governments task force, or the removal of the two. The current two subprojects that will be merged or removed are the Special task force, and the GOV task force. Thank you, Xuxalliope (talk) 11:52, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hata clan article edit, genetics
Hello LordAmeth, I see that you have been active on the Talk page of an article with respect to which I'm embroiled in editing disagreements.

In short, they seem to be trying to promote a doctrine and prevent posting of DNA evidence that refutes it.

If you have time, please check the Talk page. I look forward to your comments.--Ubikwit (talk) 07:44, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Ubikwit


 * Greetings. I wish I could help you with this, but unless the article explicitly talks about the Jews, too, and not just Japanese genetics, they may have a valid case for calling it original research. This is unfortunate, as I'm on your side that the genetic argument should be brought up and cited in the article, but, unless we have an article to cite that explicitly draws those conclusions for us, I'm afraid it may fall under OR. Also, I all but quit Wikipedia (you'll notice my extremely sparse edit record the last several years) because of the unending disputes, so, my sincere apologies, but I won't be getting involved in this one either.
 * That said, I'm curious, is your paragraph about Saeki and Norman McLeod a point of contention, too? I've glanced through the edit history and I don't see why that should be getting removed. Or do they seem to be okay with that bit?
 * My sincere apologies that I cannot do more to help, and best wishes with this. I've taken a little time just now, browsing through Google Scholar, to see if I could find a better citable article, but as of yet no such luck. I'll keep my eye out for any scholarship that states this point - the genetic lack of relationship between Jews and Japanese - more explicitly, so it can be cited. Best of luck. LordAmeth (talk) 13:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response and encouragement. It seems that there are a lot of people trying to propagandize on Wikipedia.
 * The person I've mainly been having conflicts recently tried to assert that there was no connection between BI and the version promulgated in Japanese of descent from Lost Tribes. He removed BI from the "See also" list. :::Before I was aware of Wiki policy at all I had contributed an edit that contained an inline reference to BI, which I claimed was likely spread by Freemasons. That was OR, so no gripes about that, but since he removed the "See also" reference, I decided to add that sentenace (which is on the preceding page of the quoted source in the same discussion) in order to provide context. The other editor didn't touch that today, but he added a clarifying remark to the BI reference on the See also list.
 * If you care to respond to the following, great.
 * What do you think of using only the references to the Y-chromosome research on Jews? That is all that is provided on other pages, though I believe Parfitt does draw some conclusions with regard to the English, at any rate. Also, on the Pashtun people page there is also recently published research that doesn't mention Jews, but precludes the possibility of a genealogical link. And that is not even as clear as the research on the Japanese that I've just uploaded to the Talk page, which accounts for 98% of the population (survey wise), with absolutely no overlap.
 * I basically lifted the first genetics link from the Japanese-Jewish Common Ancestor Theory, where my edits have been contested as well, but not that source for DNA evidence. I think that these people may have the anachronistic notion that the Hata clan is an existing kinship group, like the Pashtun, which is not the case.
 * If both of those types of information are acceptable on other pages is it simply because it is not being contested?--Ubikwit (talk) 13:33, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Ubikwit
 * I'm guessing it's not being contested over at the Pashtun page just because different people happen to be watching those pages... LordAmeth (talk) 16:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Mosaic Covenant
I saw your question from a few years past on Talk:Mosaic covenant. Not sure if you're still around or wondering, but the article's rather incomplete. "Mosaic" derives from Moses, just as "Abrahamic" does from "Abraham". The covenant generally refers to the promise God made to Moses and the Israelites, that he'd continue as their protector as long as they obeyed his laws; hence, the Ten Commandments, the shema, and the lex talionis. That, at least, is a Catholic Christian take on the subject, perhaps not the universal view. Hopefully this answered your rather old question! dci &#124;  TALK   04:18, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to address my question! This still doesn't explain why we call mosaic floors "mosaic" ... what's the connection, I wonder. LordAmeth (talk) 11:51, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm actually not sure on that one. I don't think that they share the same root - "Mosaic" as in the covenant may merely be a derivative of his name, while the patterned tiles might come from a different root?  It's an interesting question.   dci  &#124;  TALK   23:44, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
