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

 * Took a general look, found no glaring mistakes or holes and made just minor changes. It looks like you did your homework, and therefore did a good job. Just one thing: Take a look at the General Features section of the Buddhist temples in Japan article. That info applies to Japanese architecture in general, and in Nishi and Hozumi's book in fact WAS about Japanese architecture (I wrote that section, and read the book). The info the section contains is mostly already here and there in your article, but it would be good to have something like that in your article too.


 * I am about to take a long business trip, and I will be busy for some days, but I will do more after that. Take care.Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 05:05, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your prompt response and comments. The peer review will be up for a while and other editors have also given me lots to think about! Thanks again. Kenchikuben (talk) 07:18, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Tübingen
Are you familiar with this website? -- den persönlichen Seiten von Dr. Eva-Maria Meyer, Akademische Oberrätin am Seminar für Japanologie der Universität Tübingen? Is it possible that this escaped your notice? --Tenmei (talk) 17:01, 19 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, Tenmei. Thanks for the link, which indeed refers to a site I didn't know. Took a cursory look, will read it more carefully after work. I am not very active these days, unfortunately. -Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 23:30, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This is just something to store away in the back of your mind. --Tenmei (talk) 23:48, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Jingū-ji for DYK
Hello, Urashimataro. Thank you for your interesting article on Jingū-ji. I have nominated it for DYK. You can see the nomination here. Not that I agree with the reviewer, but you may want to deal with/respond to the complaint about (possible?) close paraphrasing. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 23:53, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. I had given up the DYK because I could not figure out a good hook. Rewrote the lead. - Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 01:12, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In Bentendo, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Dō (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Karahafu gable or bargeboard
Hi Urashimataro! Long time no see. Somebody on de-wikipedia was wondering, about the following technicality, is karahafu　(唐破風) a gable or rather a bargeboard. The karahafu article says it is a gable, but jaanus says it is a bargeboard. What do you think? bamse (talk) 09:20, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Alas, real life concerns keep me away from Wikipedia, but I will be back. I think it is a bargeboard, not a gable, and dictionaries agree with me (I think). -Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 09:34, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I am also not too active these days on wikipedia. Will transfer your reply to de-wikipedia. bamse (talk) 22:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Tamamushi Shrine architecture
Hi! I understand that you don't have much time, but asking anyway... User:Maculosae tegmine lyncis and myself were wondering if you are interested to do some editing or provide otherwise input in the Tamamushi Shrine architecture section (see also this discussion). Basically we think that the text is currently very technical and therefore hard to understand. It could do with some easy to understand explanation or a drawing or something. What do you think? bamse (talk) 18:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Will do. Not today, but soon. It is an interesting subject, a shrine 23 cm tall ... -Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 02:38, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello again, would certainly be good to have your input; and after that maybe you could add olive-zukuri to your to-do list... Really pleased to see from your photo that new leaves are springing up from the Great Gingko. And did you hear there's a renewed push to have Kamakura inscribed on the UNESCO list? Apparently the various sites will be inspected in the summer/autumn (took the liberty of expanding your article about it a little), Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk)
