[edit] Mitsui Aika

Hi, I noticed you wrote on the Aika article her nickname was "Mitsi". I know that's the name someone wrote on the Momusu article, but I have seen last Sunday's episode of Haro Moni and I am sure it's Micchi or ミッチ. I know that's the way Gottsuan calls Sayumin, but that's how they spell her name. Just wanted to discuss this issue to see what you're take on it was. Ishikawa Minoru 17:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, about me adding "Mitsi" as Mitsui Aika's nickname. I only put that there because I saw that someone put that on the Morning Musume article. If you think it is incorrect or know of another one of her nicknames, feel free to add to it or change it. I haven't watched Hello! Morning in a while so I wouldn't know. --Chuck チャック 22:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for replying. I'll leave it for a couple of days to see if they issue an official statement on that one and if not I'll change it to Micchi. Ishikawa Minoru 23:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Commons Voting ID

I assert that I voted in the Wikipedia Commons Picture of the Year 2006 under the IP address 69.116.163.28 --Chuckleberry 04:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hey, thanks for resizing the image on the Riyu Kosaka article. I'm not very experienced with using images on Wikipedia, and I hated that it looked all pixelly but couldn't figure out how to make it look right. Angalang 04:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Welcome to Wikipedia and no problem with that image sizing thing. Just put 
| Img_size =
under the image caption for the size of the actual image width if the image is less than 220px wide. --Chuckleberry 05:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry about the revert

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goochya&diff=next&oldid=106945310

Sorry about that revert... it was completely unintended, I was trying out this anti-vandal tool User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool. By the way, don't you think your article is more fit for wikitionary? After all wikipedia is not a dictionary. Just an idea, I actually don't know anything about the subject. Danski14 23:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teaneck Highwaymen

The previous edit was correct; this is a common misconception about the team name. I remember from the student handbook, that it was attributed to a Principal High, who said to do things "The High Way" or somesuch. Perhaps you can look this up tomorrow? I no longer live in NJ. Josephgrossberg 20:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I currently go to Teaneck High School and my teachers and classmates have always told me that the teams are named the way they are because of what is stated in the article. It's possible that it isn't the original reason why they're named that, but if you are sure that they were named the Highwaymen because of another reason, please add it to the article. ☆CharlesNguyễn 00:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roman ~My Dear Boy~

Please don't change the capitalization to the "official" one. Wikipedia has its own set of guidelines to deal with titles, including Naming convention (Do not replicate stylized typography in logos and album art, though a redirect may be appropriate (for example, KoЯn redirects to Korn (band)).) and trademarks (Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment). Thanks for understanding. -- ReyBrujo 16:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was confused because there are many related pages that go against this rule. I should go fix those up. ☆CharlesNguyễn 17:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Glad you understood that fast. People are usually harder to convince, even with the correct arguments. Secret, by Ayumi Hamasaki, is usually changed every other day (you can check its history). Try to leave a message in the users who change the capitalization, if they keep changing even after being told about the guidelines a couple of times, they can be blocked for disruption. Thanks again for understanding. -- ReyBrujo 17:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ℃-ute

Thank you for having corrected my poor English.

About the alphabetical order, the producer Tsunku intentionally named some groups in such a way. See following examples.

Aa!, Berryz Kobo, °C-ute, Def Diva, Gam, (Hello! Project)
v-u-den, W, XYZ

Note that 美勇伝 (normally "Biyūden") is romanized in "v-u-den" so that it should form a reverse alphabetical order following "W". But this rule has not been applied all the time.

(I'm Japanese and am not good at English. So please forgive me if this text seems strange or perhaps rude.)

[edit] This is your moderator speaking: Defend WP:H!P against Wiki's copyright nazis.

Folks,

Sorry for the mass posting, but with the copyright nazis breathing down our necks we have to defend the work we've been putting in. Please fully attribute and rationalize all images we post to H!P articles so that we can keep the copyright nazis (who don't seem to contribute to any Wiki articles at all) away for good, and do not hesitate to defend against these pricks.

Also, please keep me informed via my talk page or via e-mail (minimoniotaku@gmail.com) if these copyright nazis start hassling you to look for "free" images (that don't exist) of our heroines. They claim that no image is better than a non-free image, I say that's a lame cop-out.

And finally, if anyone knows a good copyright or US Constitutional Law legal expert that can give us some pro bono advice on these matters, have them get in touch with me. --User talk:Cjmarsicano 03:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image problems.

Charles,

No drawings! I want the ladies to be properly represented, which means having photographs - not drawings - of the ladies in every article. We will have to both make stronger attributions and rationales for using the pictures and in the process, get some sort of movement where the policy is either relaxed, eliminated entirely, or rewritten.

I also want everyone in WP:H!P to fight this bullshit "policy" in any way, shape or form possible. I am under the impression that no matter what we do, some asshole is going to give us another lame excuse to keep fair use pictures off of the profiles.--CJ Marsicano 00:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I wish there was a way to get "free images" for all the H!P members. Without images, some people would not know what the person looks like. People want to know who they look like. I'm sure you all know wiki.theppn, I think that is a great resource too, and it's got pictures. But in this case here, i'd be willing to help out with this problem.

[edit] Onna ni Sachiare

Onna ni Sachi Are
Where did you find out that sachiare is one word? According to the Wakan dictionary, it's two words, but it might be wrong. I'm just curious what the single word means. ☆CharlesNguyễn 22:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I know that there are words sachi and are, which translates to "happiness" and "that thing," respectively. However, the word sachiare exists too; it means "good luck" or "all the best." (as seen here) So, "Onna ni Sachiare" translates to "Good Luck to Women" or "All the Best for Women." I hope this clears up the confusion (I'm not really good at explaining things). Eugh jei 23:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Okaay thanks a lot! btw you did a great job explaining it. ☆CharlesNguyễn 23:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I moved the article back to "Onna ni Sachi Are." I checked CDJapan and YesAsia.com, since they are very reliable and knows Japanese more that I do, and found that the title is officially written as "Onna ni Sachi Are" and not "Onna ni Sachiare." Sorry for any confusion. However, I still think that "sachi" and "are" are connected. :P Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin 07:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request to unprotect

Request to unprotect
Hi, about four months ago, I requested for the article Rika Ishikawa to be protected due to "IP disruption" and you were the admin to semi-protect it. I'm now requesting for the page to be unprotected because I believe the vandal has stopped and it will allow other anonymous users to edit it. Thank you. ☆CharlesNguyễn 05:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Unprotected. Majorly (talk) 19:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! ☆CharlesNguyễn 02:57, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Tagging of music singles

The problem there is those articles being incorrectly tagged with an album-stub template. If articles "aren't considered as albums", then they shouldn't be using stub types specifically for albums. Alai 22:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About User:Teddy.Coughlin

I know you reverted his edits at Renai Rider, but this user has continued to defy everything and is inserting false information into other articles as well. I gave him his only warning and if he does it again, he will be reported to AIV. He was blocked a few weeks ago for one week but he continues to add false info.

if you can help me monitor his edits, that would be great since it's getting tiresome lol. Momusufan (talk) 23:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll help watch his contributions and revert things that seem false and are unsourced. I hope he's blocked longer next time. ☆CharlesNguyễn 01:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Typo redirect (3) Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on (3) Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because (3) Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting (3) Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Image on Morning Musume article

Someone put this [1] image on the article, I reverted it because it's a non-free image, but User:Xxskawt put it back because he says there is a fair use rational on the picture. Bottom line is should the picture remain on the article, or should it be deleted? I also see one on Junjun's page and other pages also have non-free images added. look at his Contributions Momusufan (talk) 16:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Because of previous conflicts on H!P images, I think the Morning Musume and Junjun pictures are better off deleted. I don't really mind there being images and usually I just leave them until someone else comes and deletes them unless there's no copyright information. Disbanded groups are allowed to have images though because of the unlikely possibility of being able to get a free image of them as a group. ☆CharlesNguyễn 20:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I put up a discussion at Morning Musume Talk Page and at Talk:Li_Chun. I guess we shall see what happens from here. Momusufan (talk) 21:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Simplified Nihongo?!

Don't take me wrong as I think you're definitely an asset for Wikipedia, but I cannot possibly agree with your decision to 'simplify' the title of Tanaka Reina's photobooks. Why did you decide to do such a thing? Those were the actual names of the books...furthermore, they made the table look much nicer, as the filled the whole cell instead of leaving massive blank spaces. -- Ishikawa Minoru (talk) 18:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I was in a bit of a rush since I was editing in class :O and I wasn't sure of what the actual names really were and where they were referred to as such. I was just following Jawiki and the PB covers. "1stソロ写真集" also just seems to me like a description of the book. I completely agree with you about how it looked better before though, so I wouldn't mind of you partially revert my edit. ☆CharlesNguyễn 20:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I wrote the nihongo for the titles as they're listed on Amazon.co.jp and reached what I believe to be a decent compromise between the two versions. -- Ishikawa Minoru (talk) 21:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Nicely done! ;D Similar edits will be done to the pages of other members too for consistency. ☆CharlesNguyễn 23:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
