The self-described "intrusion" on those pages is totally pardoned. :) I'm cool with fixing double redirects, so long as actual factual information isn't altered any (other than fixing outright errors), there's no harm.  It's really a good heads-up for linking to the articles in question, so I actually owe you a thank you!

(Seriously, why would I get mad over fixing double redirects? No worries, no worries!)

Nice to see you, and cheers! -- Miwa 05:53, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem, glad I could help. (^_^) --日本穣 04:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Using Show preview button
Sorry. I know. I just have a problem of reading over something, then finding one thing to fix, then reading over it again, then finding another thing to fix, etc. I'll try better in the future. --User:Pitman6787 09:44, 5 March 2006 (UTC).
 * Thanks. --日本穣 02:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Japanese Macrons Mediation
Hi, I've been assigned to be the mediator for the Japanese Macrons case. Discussion will be carried out on the Talk page of the case request. I will have some preliminary questions up soon, I am looking forward to working with everyone to get this resolved. Thank you, psch  e  mp  |  talk  16:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Help on a case
Hey! Do you mind if you help me change the naming orders on this page: Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway - A user named Exploding Boy wants it to be in the Japanese order and has refused to discuss it with me further. WhisperToMe 18:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems to have taken care of itself as the last discussion with Exploding Boy was six months ago. I did include a link to the MOS-JA for reference, though. --日本穣 05:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

In use tag
I removed the tag because it was not being used for its intended purpose. The in use tag is to be used to warn other users that another user is currently editing the page and that others should be courteous and not edit until the tag is removed. The tag as it is now, warning others that the article is "in use" for a few days scares off new users who will probably not bother to edit because the message says it is being edited.

 * This is still improper. It gives the impression that one must go to the talk page and edit, and that goes against the concept of WP:BOLD. Pepsidrinka 03:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Translation Request
Hallo, can you please translate me this Japanese text into English. Thank you very much: Minasan wa honto no honto no Kanazawa Yuichiro shiranai.Aitsu wo shoushiki ni kaze naito —This unsigned comment was added by 89.54.201.108 (talk • contribs).


 * "You guys really don't know anything about Kanazawa Yuichiro." is the first sentence. I'd have to see the actual Japanese for the rest. --日本穣 17:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Torii photo
Hi Nihonjoe, Please take a look at Image:Miyajima-Torii-Modified.jpg. It's your torii photo with modifications. If you like it, it's yours to keep. Fg2 02:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks good to me. Thanks. (^_^) --日本穣 02:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Template
I don't know what it's supposed to do, but before I fiddled with it it just displayed the message "Japan To-do:" and nothing else. Now it does that again. Ashibaka tock 21:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * On the lower right side of the box is a  [Show]  link. If you click it, the list will expand. Otherwise, it will remain hidden. --日本穣 22:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, is that what's supposed to be there? The [Show] link didn't... show... for me. I'm using Cologne Blue. Ashibaka tock 23:54, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...not sure why. That kind of thing should show up no matter which skin you're using. --日本穣 23:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey Nihon, how are you? Do you have any idea why the talk page template, Template:WikiProject Japan stops TOCs from showing? It's only different from Template:WikiProject Anime and manga because of the extra To Do list include. Do you think this somehow breaks the TOC? My theory is that the wiki software thinks there is only one section on the page, the WP:J To Do section and therefore doesn't display it. --Squilibob 05:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it's because there's a NOTOC inside parrt of the template. Let me play with it a bit. --日本穣 05:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, the NOTOC is removed, so everything should be fine now. --日本穣 05:54, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well the TOC is appearing, but now it is in the hidden part of the template instead of on the actual page of any of the talk pages that include it. (I'm guessing that a tag would fix it.) --Squilibob 07:43, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That's likely. Feel free to use one of my floating TOC templates: or  . This page uses one of them. --日本穣 07:45, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup Taskforce
The articleShamrock (comics) has been added to your desk. It is an occidental comic book character (DC comics) instead of Anime but no one has listed an expertise in comics. Please look at it and work on it, pass it or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 05:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Not the Domon Ken Award
OOPS! Many thanks for the fix. (As for the kanji problem that I was aware of, I've already asked.) -- Hoary 08:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Japan
Hi, I joined the project; thanks for the invite. I was wondering, what's the difference between the Wikiproject and the Japan-related topics notice board? Dforest 05:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The WikiProject is just formalizing some of what the notice board was doing, making things easier to find and more familiar to those who've worked on other WikiProjects. --日本穣 05:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


 * So will it supercede the notice board? It seems like there would be a lot of overlap between them. Dforest 05:48, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


 * No, I don't think so. I think the notice board should continue to function as just that: a place for announcements and sharing of information. The project page is more for those actively working to improve articles and structure on the site. --日本穣 06:22, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Nihonjoe, thanks for voicing interest in WikiProject Trains in Japan! I'm currently looking around for more supporters, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please inform them about the Project. Once again, thank you! - Tangotango 06:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I hope we can find more interested people. - Tangotango 07:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * We now have 5 people interested in the project, and I've created the project page at WikiProject Trains in Japan, shortcut WP:TJ. For now the page is a bit disorganized, but I hope we can improve that soon. Well, hope to see you on the project page! (Please add your name to the Participants list).

Rodovid.org
Hi, I found you from the category of Wikipedian genealogists. I wonder if you have heard of/been involved in any of the previous attempts at starting a genealogy wiki under the foundation. Seeing as you were in the category, I thought you may be interested in the new project proposal, Rodovid. This project is currently running at rodovid.org. I would greatly appreciate it if you could visit the site and give me your opinion of it. Any input at all will be useful. Thanks. --Bjw e bb (talk) 10:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
