[edit] License tagging for Image:Mitsukyo boarding.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Mitsukyo boarding.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Keikyū Main Line

Sorry, I'll have to revert again. Category:Railway lines of Japan is redundant (重複してます) because it is already covered by Category:Keikyū Main Line. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains in Japan#Category split proposal.--Endroit 15:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] redundant categories

As I mentioned at Category_talk:Tōkaidō Main Line, several of your edits are making redundant categories. For example, you added Tōhoku Shinkansen to Category:East Japan Railway Company. But, the article was already in Category:Tōhoku Shinkansen, and that category is already in Category:East Japan Railway Company. Individual stations are also categorized by the line(s), and those would be in the company category as well. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear in my original comments. Neier 12:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand the need to search for stations of each company. It will create 2000 stations in the JR-East category alone, and there will likely be complaints about the size of the category. Especially since they are sorted by line already, and the lines are also sorted into the same categories. Also, searching by alphabet is supported by List of Railway Stations in Japan too. I am just one person with one opinion, so I won't revert the new categories on my own. But, I cannot speak for anyone else. Neier 11:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I moved the discussion to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains_in_Japan#Sub-Categorizing where an anonymous user proposed extending our categories. It doesn't match the current system, or the Japanese system either. But, this issue should be cleared up as soon as we can. I suggested a compromise, to sort each station by company and by line. So, the stations would not be in Category:East Japan Railway Company, but in Category:Stations of East Japan Railway Company. The lines would be sorted similarly. - Neier 13:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] station names

I do not think renaming Asakusa Station to Asakusa Station (Tokyo Metro, Toei, Tobu) was neccessary.

The reason Asakusa Station is left as is, and there is a Asakusa Station (Tx) is following established wikipedia manual of style for japan related articles. We are to do a Asakusa Station (Tokyo Metro, Toei, Tobu) article name if there are 3 Asakusa Stations and one Asakusa Station was bigger, but one of the articles will retain just "Asakusa Station" , in this case only 2 places are listed as Asakusa therefore I think the Asakusa Station (Tokyo Metro, Toei, Tobu) should just be left as "Asakusa Station".

Manual of Style: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28Japan-related_articles%29#Train_and_Subway_stations

Train and Subway stations

   * The default name is X Station.
   * When necessary, disambiguate by geographical location: Y Station -> Y Station (Prefecture) -> Y Station (Prefecture, City).
   * Stations on private lines that have the same name as other train or subway stations in the same prefecture are disambiguated as Z Station (PrivateCo). For example, there are two stations named Asakusa Station both located in Asakusa, Tokyo. One is an interchange station for 3 different train companies and one is a smaller station for the Tsukuba Express. As a default, the major station would be Asakusa Station, while the Tsukuba Express station is Asakusa Station (Tsukuba Express).

The format it was changed to does not follow the wikipedia manual of style for japan related articles.

[edit] Otsuka station edits

Hi, Izumi.

Can you help me understand your edits to Otsuka Station (Tokyo)? It seems like you meant to add the db tag to Otsuka Station, since the Otsuka Station (Tokyo) article has a name which disambiguates it with the other station in Hiroshima. Why not use the #REDIRECT macro? -- Mikeblas 14:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Joban Line

Yes, it is possible to do that. My only concern is that it may be hard to see what articles don't exist yet, if there is a blue link instead of a red link. I guess that the main article for Jōban Line could be edited to make all the red links, so maybe it is not such a big problem. Neier 13:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] trying to find author of article

Hi, I wish to use this news article as a source for an wiki article, but when I translate it using babelfish, the name of the author doesnt appear. Could you take a look and let me know who wrote the news article?. John Vandenberg 01:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! John Vandenberg 13:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tokyu Ikegami Line

I'm not sure, really. Note that my bot didn't add the tag in the first instance, it just dated it. It was originally added here. You might ask that editor, or else look for further input at WikiProject Trains, say. Alai 14:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move for Tōzai Line (JR West)

Hi, I've requested that Tōzai Line (JR West) moved to JR Tōzai Line - the reason is that the latter is the official name of the line, and article titles should reflect official titles.

I noticed that you previously moved the article from JR Tozai Line, and I'd appreciate it if I could get your input at Talk:Tōzai Line (JR West). Thanks. --Ytny (talk) 00:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
