[edit] Welcomes
Hi Sotomura, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 13:22, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Sotomura, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.
I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee , KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!Thanks! - nathanrdotcom (T • C • W) 23:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Now Celestianpower I'd know a little about. Am I supposed to add that little subpage now? --Anthony Jake La (Tetsuya-san; talk : contribs) 23:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Path of Radiance
I don't own the game, but just by looking at the article you can see there are no interwiki links in the introduction or descriptions of anyone (except for one or two).--Zxcvbnm 22:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- I see. Yeah, I'll see about allowing the article to give a better understanding. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] You took out my Mewtwo comment about the cave!!
Why would you take out my mewtwo (the one with the cave) comment. You should not have done that!! There was no good reason to take it out!!
- For the reason that it wasn't really confirmed. Do you have a PokéDex entry that supports that claim? Hearing it would be a very good thing. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elections
Thanks for supporting me in the Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. Although I wasn't elected to the Advisory Council, I am very happy with the response I received from my fellow Wikipedians. I was shocked at the support, and was touched by it. Hopefully I will re-apply in June and try again for the job. Thanks again, Highway Rainbow Sneakers
[edit] I'm confused.
Hello, Tetsuya-san. I'm confused about the Shuckle article. What is the point of the template if the links do not work? All the links, except the Pokemon.com one, bring up 404 messages on the websites. Can you please explain this to me?
dposse 23:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- The template is supposed to be "subst" into the article. Where ever you see the silly {{{1}}}{{{3}}} and stuff in the article, that's when the article IS NOT subst. That is a task for you to do by yourself. See the Template:Pokerefs page for further information. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Certificate
Certificate |
This certificate has been awarded to Tetsuya-san (talk) for editing so many Pokémon articles As my thanks, I award you this certificate on 19:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC). Please continue your hard work on the Pokémon-articles and help out whenever possible Thanks |
[edit] Do you need help?
Hello Sotomura, would you like me to help you with any articles, because I would be glad to help you work on any article you want, especially Pokémon articles. I would gladly fix stubs, clean up articles, expand sections, or anything else. Im also trying to help stop vandalism. If you would like me to do anything for you, leave a message on my talk page, thanks Cute Minun (Talk) 19:12, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charizard FAC
I've replied at the FAC page. Thanks again, Highway Daytrippers 15:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trademarks
Hello. I have noticed on the talk pages for Palkia and Dialga that you referenced a site that showed the trademarks for their names. I was wondering if there is a U.S. site like that as well. I tried to do a search, but could not find what I wanted. I want to be able to see which U.S. companies hold trademarks to video game characters as well. Thank you for your time. -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 03:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't believe so. I've never seen any American site so open like that. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 03:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html That would have to be a close equivalent. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 13:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. Thank you. -SaturnYoshi THE VOICES 16:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paragraph in Diamond and Pearl article
I noticed you readded a deleted paragraph. It was rather redundant to do so - I merged only the necessary stuff in the Gameplay paragraph where the rest were repeated. May I ask that you rectify this? - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 11:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also, I'm just collecting your consensus here. One of the paragraphs you "restored" also seemingly contained some OR. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 11:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well that’s just it. One of your reasons for deleting it was OR, but I didn’t see any OR, just something unreferenced, so I restored it and added the reference with the relevant info( which was already used elsewhere, so I just linked it to the existing ref tag). --WikidSmaht (talk) 06:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- The other reason is that it was in two different paragraphs, and it was repeated. Not only that, but as per my edit summary, some of the information in the paragraph did not meet what was said in the sources. Sounds a bit like OR to me. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 10:04, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Precisely which information are you referring to? I don’t mean to be difficult, but you need to be more specific. --WikidSmaht (talk) 10:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just to clarify.
Clarifying on what I said since I usually don't make full messages in an edit summary, bots and people using AWB to make edits usually separate the sections out. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 04:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don’t see why I would care what bots and the AWB do? Not being a smart ass, I really don’t get it. Neither speaks for Wikipedia in any official capacity. Plus, that statement seems inaccurate, I’ve seen plenty of bot and AWB edits which do no such thing. Btw, I hate the AWB. It doesn’t work for me, last I tried, and I’ve seen it “correct” too many things which were fine the way they were. Actually, those spaces most often come from section edits, because the blank line that always occurs at the end of an edit box gets interpretted that way when submitted.
- But anyway, that’s a minor side issue, my reversion was mainly made for the edit summary, with which I intended to draw your attention to Talk:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where I clarified my edit summary comment that “Romanization ‘source’ link doesn’t work.”. Obviously this was fruitless, as you haven’t replied there. Please do. --WikidSmaht (talk) 19:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sorry
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, I didn't see the links above and the space was unintentional. Tennis DyNamiTe (sign here) 22:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. I suspect the space is added by Wikipedia itself. - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 00:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your GA nomination of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
The article Pokémon Diamond and Pearl you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for eventual comments about the article. Good luck in future nominations. Funpika 20:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your username
Whenever I see your username, I think of Teddiursa. I just thought I'd let you know how funny I think this is. --Brandon Dilbeck 03:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm a stinky little teddy bear who likes to devour hamburgers and cry for mommy. :) - Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 03:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion
Hey Jake, you should put the Japanese on your page actually IN Japanese. Otherwise it just looks immature, and you're just another Japanophile-wannabe. kthx ;D BlackxxJapan 12:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
