[edit] Request

I've done maintenance of the List of fictional diseases you had made a JA link to. I noticed you have several diseases on the Japanese list. I am particularly interested in the disease that appears in Eden: It's An Endless World and would like to see a translation of it's name. I had wanted to add that for some time, but could not find a name for it.--YoungFreud 05:43, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you, Kusunose, for adding your comprehensive Japanese link to my English Nissan Skyline article. Stombs 10:36, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for infoming me of Okazaki Ritsuko's place of birth. I took a look at the Japanese article, but my Japanese is (yet) too bad to understand much of it. Any other information that might be taken from the Japanese article would be welcome. --Beoran 11:23, 2004 Oct 13 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Tsushima Islands

Please do not revert the changes on Tsushima Islands. The reasons are already stated in Talk:Tsushima Islands. Feel free to ask questions, but please do not revert at your own accord. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Hi! Doesn't look like you've been on this page in a while... I can use your input and local knowledge. Please wade in! [[User:Fabartus| FrankB || TalktoMe]] 00:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Before I Vote on 'Move Tsushima Islands' Issue

  • I would appreciate a rational explaination (after you read my Comments in the subject dispute Talk:Tsushima Islands), of the arguement or arguments you consider vital and germane to the discusion and vote. Frankly, MOST all of you are being silly over nothing of particular importance, since both names can be redirected into the one used. I have left a comment concerning my contribution to the article, which contribution — seems to have triggered the current edit and revision wars. For that I apologize, but see the Comments on the vote. I am also taking the liberty of putting the vote section AFTER the Comments about same.
  • Still, I have just spent over four hours of valuable spare time, and would welcome your thoughts after you read and understand the distinction I put forth between a governments termonology as a governing body and a geographical reference like an archepelego, which it certainly is.
  • More to the point, I'd like to see your defense regarding your favorite POV of what I had to say viz a viz the mergest attitude of the senior editors and administrators that frequent the Wikipedia:VfD discussions. To my recollection, I don't recollect any of you hotheads in this dispute ever spending anytime thereon, possibly excepting Mel Etitis, but rarely even then.
  • In any event, I'm neutral here, and have asked that the article be kept EDIT FREE for the next three days by placing The Inuse template into it — I'd copyedited over two and half hours before I suspended that effort the other night because this shameful fued was going on — proper English grammer does depend, unfortunately, on whether one uses the plural or the singular. I saved that on my hard drive, but I don't need to wade through yet another 70 edits to finish the job. As it is, this matter will probably double the time it takes for such a simple job.
  • If you are local to Japan, some history of the canals or Sea-channel is certainly germane to the ongoing discussion, moreover, any cogent arguement you condsider being particularly telling needs to be clearly repeated in the current on going comments if you want them counted on in the vote.
  • I will make sure this message goes to each contributor to the article the past month, so you are not being singled out. Now is the time to take a deep breath, for rational concise summaries, not all the arguing that is so wearisome in 66 printed pages - half a novelette, I'd guess! It's certainly a lot to ask your fellow editors to wade through on a minor issue.
  • I will also personally be making sure that at least a dozen other Administrators I'm acquainted with take a look at the debate after the time below. I will in fact ask for twenty commitments, so be clear and respectful of our time!!!
  • Thankyou for your time, attention, and good professional behaviour. I'll check the Talk state again no sooner than Monday around Noon (UTC), And ask the uninvolved others to do the same. PLEASE BE CONCISE. [[User:Fabartus| FrankB || TalktoMe]] 00:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Korean name

I see that you have put up the Korean name, but having an infobox would have been much neater. Also, your sentence saying that "There has been caltural influence from Korea, where they are called Daema-do (대마도)." What do you mean? This is certainly atrocious English, in terms of spelling and elaboration, I'm afraid. Mr Tan 06:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Japanese mythology

Hi, just thought I'd let you know that the above project exists, if you are interested in joining.

[edit] magatama

Hi, Kusunose.

I am wondering whether you have any English language sources to verify your information? I have researched magatama myself and have not seen mentioned a Jomon-period origin or any other proof as to why there was a transfer of magatama from what is now known as Japan to what is now known as Korea. I added the "citations needed" because I am not sure whether those assertions that I needed were true. You just deleted them without addressing it in the "Talk" section. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks.

[edit] User:Endroit/Chinese_Romanization

Hello. Please check out User:Endroit/Chinese_Romanization, and make additions/corrections where necessary. I am asking Yuje, Ran, Visviva, Nanshu, Babelfisch, Kusunose, and Saintjust to check and modify this Chinese Romanization proposal within the next 5 days.
After that we should move this Chinese Romanization page to a Project Page, and then request formal Mediation/Arbitration. I would like to nominate Yuje or Ran to be the leader for this project. Or I can be leader also. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.--Endroit 09:44, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:MOSDATE?

Hi Kusunose, I saw your edit of Ulleung-do under "Unlink years per WP:MOSDATE. I can't find this in the manual of style, though; is there an official decision somewhere, or is this just your judgement call? Thanks, --Reuben 05:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! Your answer makes sense, but I guess there's no official recommendation about it at the moment. --Reuben 15:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Japan

Sorry if you get offened for my edit. I think top heavy article and choice of topics are thought to be a propaganda. So I think its better to avoid such type of article as written in note. About other edit points I have no argument now.Mythologia 14:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WPMilHist East Asian Task Force

Hello. I am proposing to begin an "East Asian task force" sub-section of the Military History WikiProject, or perhaps task forces dedicated solely to Korean or Japanese military history, if there is enough support. I have noticed (and appreciated) your extensive work on articles relating to Japanese and Korean military history, and to the two nations' relations. I invite you to lend your comments and/or support. The proposal is linked here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Far East Task Force Proposal. Thank you. LordAmeth 15:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Kusonose: At the city of Nara ([1]) article there is a part that discusses the etymology/origin of the word Nara. I had never really taken seriously the assertion that Nara came from a Korean word before but I found this really interesting article here [2] discussing the origin of the term Kudara and it discusses the possible origins of Nara as well. Right now the section looks a little point of view/origianl researchy and all I did was add some citations and citations needed. If you could take a look I would appreciate it. Thanks. Tortfeasor 23:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

K: Sorry, I didn't mean for what I wrote to sound accusatory on the talk page in East Sea. I just didn't understand your point but I think I do now. Thanks for taking a look at Nara, Nara. Tortfeasor 04:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History merges

The blanked articles you redirected, such as

09:04, 12 July 2006 A Small Deadly Space (#REDIRECT A Small Deadly Space) 
08:57, 12 July 2006 Texas Enterprise Fund (#REDIRECT Texas Enterprise Fund)

should have been history merges, for which you need a sysop. I have fixed these two, but in the future, please either ask a familiar admin about it (you can ask me) or post a note on WP:AN. Thanks. - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Primary Topic" in East Sea

In Talk:East Sea#Where are we at?, you have said "I don't object making it [a primary topic]". We have 2 versions to choose from....

Tortfeasor's version
East Sea is another name for the Sea of Japan. See also Sea of Japan naming dispute.
Endroit's version
East Sea is another name for the Sea of Japan as described by the Sea of Japan naming dispute.

Can you specify which of the 2 versions you prefer? I believe Endroit's version treats Sea of Japan naming dispute equally with Sea of Japan. And Tortfeasor's version does not.

Also Bridesmill suggested using the {{controversy}} tag. Please comment on that also. Thank you for your cooperation.--Endroit 14:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yakiniku

I don't oppose your edit on the yakiniku article, in fact I just reverted back to your version after another Japanese vandal removing the references to bulgogi (as well as sabotaging the bulgogi article). I would though like to ask if it were a coincidence that you all of a sudden make this change only four hours after User:Gegesongs made a controversial edit stating yakiniku does not come from bulgogi, which I reverted. Despite the fact that nobody ever had a problem with that wording since the article was created over a year ago. Then, a third (most probably Japanese) user removes the edits again? All within 24 hours by different users. Something smells fishy. Mackan 13:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Since you've been logged in recently, I find it weird you have chosen not to reply to my comments. Please do. Mackan 01:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use

Fair use is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review.

Taeguk Warrior 16:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Taeguk Warrior - Please also see [[3]]. Wikipedia's usage of fair use is different than yours.

Under U.S. copyright law, almost all work published after 1922 may have an active copyright (there are exceptions, however — see United States copyright law for details). In general, the use of copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder is copyright infringement, and is illegal. As such, on Wikipedia, which is hosted in the United States, we are normally only able to use material that is not under copyright or is available under a sufficiently free license.

An important exception to this rule exists, recognized in a clause in the copyright act that describes a limited right to use copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder — what is known as fair use (or "fair dealing" in other countries, where standards may differ). This page is meant as a guideline for dealing with fair use materials on the English Wikipedia — it provides general guidance on what is or isn't likely to be fair use and how you can best assist editors when attempting to include material under fair use. However, it is not official policy. You, as the uploader, are legally responsible for determining whether your contributions are legal.

[edit] Thanks for input on Okinotori Islands

I noticed you weighed in on the discussion of the name of the islands. Perhaps you'd like to offer a comment for what the name of the article currently filed under Imjins War should be. We're open to suggestions; I personally favor "Hideyoshi's campaigns," but there may be something better. Komdori 21:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Osaka

Please stop incorrectly altering the Osaka (disambiguation) page. There's no reason to list eh AzuDai character at the top as she belongs in the fictional characters section. And since the AzuDai character is not a primary topic (that would be the city and the prefecture), it should not be separated out and placed at the top. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moving

Are you an administrator of wiki? I couldnt find anything that you are an administrator. I think it should be moved according to the convention.

Thanks.... I see what you point. --Hairwizard91 12:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I just understand what you said... but, there is warning to me from you...--Hairwizard91 12:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your removing the warning... --Hairwizard91 13:15, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nice to meet you

Hi, I was excited and happy to see that you are trying to introduce Tolkien to Japanese audiences in ja:wikipedia. I wish Japanese could have a deeper understanding of Tolkien's works (and Korean prehistory ^^). Eventually, I would like to do as you are doing in ko:wikipedia. Mumun 09:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam Blacklist

Thanks for noticing that screwy addition to the spam blacklist; I didn't see it. Now we just need them to do something about it. — BrotherFlounder (aka DiegoTehMexican) 05:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dab

Okay. I was half wrong, but you're not supposed to pipe the link. The whole point is for "disambiguation" to be visible. Anyway, it's a stupid part of the guideline. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 02:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I won't do that again. Uthanc 15:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Thanks

Thank you for letting me know of the correct procedure to move pages, I was unaware of it, and will follow it in the future. Zeus1234 17:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KBS

I would like your input on Talk:KBS. I have heard that you changed the redirect, and my question is directed at that. Thanks in advance. SKS2K6 02:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Salt lake dab

Here in western australia we have a very large number - but many probably havent been adequately identified or even have had articles created yet - so I have taken note of your work - we'll put it up on our project page...SatuSuro 01:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Nationalist

This is not going to be easy if you get tangled up with him. He has been very aggressive on Taiwan/Republic of China politics since his very first edit. See his contributions and you might get the hint. Vic226(chat) 06:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the help with Template:Territorial disputes in East and South Asia. Hopefully this helps to put an end to the whole edit war over territory dispute infoboxes. -Loren 08:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Koreans

Thanks for catching that. cab 10:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Okinotorishima categories

I see your changes and agree this is "more correct." I had gotten confused, but then found this:

... while acknowledging Japan's territorial rights to Okinotorishima itself ...

However, is there a category for

... did not acknowledge Japan's claim to an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) stemming from Okinotorishima.

That is, is there a category for "disputed EEZ"s? Shenme 11:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Central Japan Railway Company

The standard naming convention for railways is to leave out the "Company". I thought this was at Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Manual of style but I can't find it, so I'll start a discussion at WT:TWP. --NE2 06:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] petition

sorry for misusing the talk page, but Would you delete it if it was a petition to the Korean government? I presume you wouldn't. just wondering. Odst 23:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I would if I noticed. --Kusunose 06:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Koda Rohan

The article was temporarily undeleted for discussion at DRV. If you want to save it, please expand it and leave a not mentioning the changes so subsequent commenters can base their comments of your new version rather than the other comments. - Mgm|(talk) 12:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
