Paranoiac hikikomori troll
You wrote on the hikikomori talk page, re: an anony user I'm all too familiar with these days:

"Are you for real??? This CIA nonsense has nothing to do with a social problem in Japan. Nothing. Take this paranioa talk to the frey entry or tinfoil hats. Or better yet, write a constructive Wiki entry on what you feel you are an expert of and leave non-related Wiki entries alone. I'm not even going to dignify anymore responses on what is clearly an Internet_troll.--Mdziesinski 12:06, 5 September 2005 (UTC)"

Don't feed the troll :) He actually did write most (90%) of the Frey effect article, and seems to enjoy claiming that tons of stuff is due to the Frey effect. I'm currently in the middle of figuring out how much of that article is actually verifiable by sources other than conspiracy paranoiacs on the 'net... he of course claims it to be "authoritative" because it shows up as one of the first Google hits for "Frey effect". Of course, if Google ranks it highly, clearly it *must* be true. *shudder* Anyhow, sorry for that guy's vandalism, he's shown a consistent pattern of this sort of behavior.

 * Yeah I know, I hear ya. I just don't get why he's latching onto the hikikomori entry, it's like he came out of nowhere a month or so ago and keeps vandalizing the entry. As you probably have already guessed that topic is near and dear to me and while I enjoy entertaining the possibility of conspiracy theories and having beer and tinfoil hat parties with my friends on the weekends as much as the next bored netizen, I do think there is a place for it and when it constitutes spam. Ah well. BTW, read your User profile. In Tokyo still?  I envy you. I won't get back there for research for probably two years. Miss Japan already; it's like a second home to me.--Mdziesinski 13:27, 5 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Yup, I'm in Tokyo until the end of October. I think I actually found this guy through the hikikomori page, I've been using Wikipedia a lot to learn a bit more about various aspects of Japanese culture and happened to come across it somehow. Interesting article by the way, I learned a lot from it. I'm enjoying Japan, though I'm kind of settled into a daily routine these days so the novelty has worn off a bit. :) Colin McMillen 15:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Category
Hi, your user page appears in Category:Japanese terms. Was it a mistake? I don't think your user name is a Japanese term - in fact I'm sure it isn't!! I've commented out the line in your user page. Hope you don't mind. I would remove the other categories too if I were you, unless you really think your user page belongs in them. --DannyWilde 12:03, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk page
Hey, use "show preview" to check your edits, will you? Every time you "save" my talk page it blinks up "new messages". I got four "new messages" in about the last ten minutes, and then I couldn't even reply to them because you did yet another edit - and all it was was something you could have done with "show preview". Please, check the edits with "show preview" before you save them, don't "save" every time, especially on my talk page. Thanks. --DannyWilde 13:09, 11 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, wise and all-knowing DannyWilde! I'm sure you've never made any mistakes using the Wiki edits.  I was trying to fix it on a slow computer, give me a break and stop lecturing me. I've been using Wiki for as long as you most likely. --Mdziesinski 13:20, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Hikikomori article
Hello!

You wrote a large part of the Hikikomori article, and most likely used a number of academic sources for it. Would you mind to add these to the article and create a bibliography? --Mkill 11:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
