 * Created: Category:Buddhism in Japan, Category:Japanese buddhist monks. The latter still needs to be filled. -- Mkill 01:14, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, History of Japan cleanup is done, I created the era categories Category:Ancient Japan, Category:Feudal Japan, Category:Japan during World War II, Category:Postwar Japan, Category:Occupied Japan and the topic categories Category:Japanese history textbook controversies, Category:Japanese political scandals, Category:Transportation disasters in Japan, Category:Japanese-Korean relations. There are some 20 articles left in the main category, mainly because their content spans several large eras. I thought about creating smaller categories than Ancient Japan and Feudal Japan, like Asuka period or Azuchi-Momoyama period, but the current model will work fine enough until there are more than 200 articles these categories. -- Mkill 00:10, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I added Pocket door, which survived Articles for Deletion---thanks, in part, to your vote. Fg2 09:17, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It might be worth noting that the person who created the pocket door article was [allegedly] the same person who suggested it for deletion using a different name. He or she is a kind of "troll" or "joker" it seems, and frequently creates stub articles and then sends them for deletion using a sock puppet. --DannyWilde 00:41, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
