You posted a long piece within Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan. This is the wrong place for it. You probably meant Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan.

If you want to post it there, you can fish it out of this. Please minimize the amount of bold text within it, reduce its length, and post it to the foot of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan, signing it (four "~" in a row) at its foot. Thank you. -- Hoary 04:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

And the same for your edits in Tripartite Pact and Axis Powers of World War II. Thanks! --Whiskey 06:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of Japan

Sorry but I reverted your edit. Please do not sign your name in articles. And Iwo Jima was occupied by the U.S. until 1968. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 15:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 19:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

It would be a good idea if you were to retrospectively sign your comments at Talk:Tripartite Pact with either three tildes (to produce name only, since the date would be incorrect) or use {{unsigned}}. If you were to seek any form of DR, other editors will be less inclined to help if they have to examine diffs just to see who wrote what. Adrian M. H. 11:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
