Happy editing, Isomorphic 01:23, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Congrats! You've done excellent work in a short time -- I do hope you'll add a little more about Mahoney at some point? :-) I see him occasionally in films and think "wow, he was in this too?" -- it would be neat to add in some of his filmography and maybe a little more about his past (e.g., when did he come over from England?). ....Of course, rather than tell you to do this, I should probably just try myself, but I figured you seemed interested enough in him by writing the article, so perhaps you'd be up for expanding it! :-)  Regardless, welcome to Wikipedia, and if I can help you, please let me know. Thanks, Jwrosenzweig 22:48, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Having seen the new user log, two other things. One is that you should get a notification when messages are posted here -- it will appear at the top of the screen and say "You have new messages" but the link will take you to this page.  This doesn't always work, but it usually does.  And the second is that I hope you'll consider being involved in Translations into English and help us add useful content from the German Wikipedia to the English WP.  As a very inexperienced and clumsy translator from German, I'm always looking for native speakers to do the work I am incapable of doing well. :-) Jwrosenzweig 22:54, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Hi James. Thanks for the comment and help - nice to hear someone is interested in my contributions. I think I will add some more info - especially about Frasier and the staff. Perhaps your request for more suff about Mahoney is a good excuse for me to learn more about him (I love his work anyway ;-)) and then share it here. It's quite a bit work to get into all the style manuals and guidlines for articles, talk pages and so on. Still a lot to learn. Translations into English sounds like an interesting field - especially since I have fun translating things :-) This could also help to get my English smoother. Thomas 23:54, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Here's a tip about style -- don't worry about it too much just yet. When you create an article or make a major change, leave a note on my talk page, or Isomorphic's, or any other editor you've met.  Eventually, we (or someone randomly clicking through) will go to the article and try and shape it up as well as we can -- then you can look at the article and see what changes were made.  And I still get confused sometimes about style issues -- don't let it hold you back! :-)  If you do get interested in translations, I'd love it if you helped with Nihilartikel -- I tried and failed to translate it out of German, though I got a fair portion of it into English.  It's changed a little since I translated it, but I'm sure there's still good info on the German side that needs to be pushed over -- if it catches your fancy, I'd really appreciate it!  Happy editing, Jwrosenzweig 00:00, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. Just 2 small questions (it's your own fault when you offer help ;-)): When I contribute to Wikipedia in another language - do I need to create a new user account there, or can I use one for all (or merge one somehow)? And: is it seen here as a good behaviour to link to my homepage on my user page, even if there isn't much personal information - and its commercially used too? I dont want to look like I advertise here. (and I dont need to) I think I will take a look at the Nihilartikel when I find the time (very time consuming this wiki-stuff, isn't it). Its a good translation overall - there are just some tiny things there to adjust I think. Thanks Thomas 00:46, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Welcome aboard!  I can answer your questions for you.  First, you do need separate accounts for each language, but it's really easy to create them, as you've already discovered.  You get a user page for each account, but you can link these pages together using the same Interlanguage links that we use for articles.  That way someone looking at your user page in English can easilly go to your user page in another language.  You can see how this looks on my user page, which has a link to my Spanish account.  Click that, and you'll see that my Spanish page has a link back to the English.
 * Second, it's fine to link to your home page on your user page. In general we discourage advertising and self-promotion, but your user page is the exception.  By Wikipedia custom, that's your own space, and within reason you can put whatever you like there.  See User page for a full explanation.
 * Happy editing, Isomorphic 03:45, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thomas, part of your recent edit to Nihilartikel is a bit incoherent. I'll fix what I can, but I can't even follow the narrative thread of the "Classification..." section as you've left it. Could you please look again and see if you can sort out what you meant to say there? -- Jmabel 22:23, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * If you think "Lexicon" is closer to "encyclopedia" than "dictionary", feel free to change it back. In English, "Lexicon" simply means "word list"; apparently a false cognate.
 * If you feel that the current state of your edits is the best you can do, fine. I haven't really spent too much time looking at the German original, but maybe I should. A day or two from now, if I still find the state of part of the article incoherent, I guess I'll just have at it, including moving anything that is really incomprehensible out of the article to the talk page. -- Jmabel 04:27, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Would be interested in working with you on Nowhere Man. If ever you have an interest to do so, let me know. Rhymeless 00:00, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

"Super-many-time" theory
Hi. I noticed you're hoping for an article on Sin-Itiro Tomonaga's "super-many-time" theory. I can't help with that, but it seems to be what he describes in the first two sections of his Nobel lecture]. I hope this helps. &mdash;JerryFriedman 18:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Kazuyo Katsuma
A tag has been placed on Kazuyo Katsuma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Truthanado (talk) 17:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
