Osaki Station

Interesting. I didn't know that Ikebukuro was a "terminal" for the Yamanote Line. Do you know where they take the 回送 cars? At Osaki, there is a garage complex just south of the station, but, I don't see anything like that up north on google maps. Neier 01:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. There is a depot just north of the station, on the east side of the Saikyo Line. It is also used for stabling Saikyo Line and Narita Express sets. I think Yamanote Line trains only start and stop at Ikebukuro during the morning and evening peaks, but there are also two platforms for each direction, as at Osaki.

Bongo (antelope)

Hi Dave. Thanks for undoing the vandalism on this article. I have found this user 209.43.33.213 doing more since you un did the last edit. Check the history page out.

Please can you help out warning this person & others about their 'issues'?

Thanks so much. Black Stripe 23:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Station categories

Originally, I thought the line cats were a bad idea too. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_September_22#Japan_railway_line_categories for my initial impressions. Later discussions on the Japan trains project page also showed a split, and the categories have survived. I'm mostly convinced that they are an acceptable way to categorize the stations now, navigation issues aside.

As long as we have the categories, we may as well make them conform to the rest of Wikipedia's ways. I'm working alphabetically through Category:Lines of East Japan Railway Company. Before I started, it was very inconsistent (some lines had categories, some did not; some lines were already categorized into their eponymous categories, and some were left in the company cat, and some were categorized into both). I've been trying to follow the guidelines, specifically numbers 3 and 5 of the general guidelines on that page. I don't have any strong opinions on #3 in this case. Ignoring it would need to be discussed at the project, so, we can be consistent. It may also need to be discussed on the parent trains project, not just Japan.

Currently, to navigate like you want, it requires another click at the bottom of the line category page, to get to all the lines of JR. Neier 08:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

OK, if it at least brings consistency to all the various line articles, I suppose it must be a good thing. I realize it is quite a job to edit each page in turn, so keep up the good work. DAJF 13:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Warning

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Tokyo, you will be blocked from editing. --Sasanoha 12:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

（日本語）画像を取り除くのを止めて下さい。--Sasanoha 12:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed two copyright images from the Tokyo article. I don't believe that constitutes vandalism. DAJF 12:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

目立たせたい画像などはサイズを指定しても良いはずです。--Sasanoha 13:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

何度も画像を除去したり、サイズを小さくしないで下さい。これでは編集合戦の繰り返しです。--Sasanoha 11:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The reasons for the changes to the Tokyo article have been discussed in Talk:Tokyo and on your Talk page. It would help greatly if you could actually join in the discussion on the relevant talk pages rather than just reverting change without explanation. DAJF 11:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Postscript on requested move - Kenshirō Abe

Hi DAJF. On Talk:Kenshirō Abe You questioned whether my comment, "Abbe is [ ... ] the most widely used version", was unwittingly. My intention was merely to indicate that that was the only valid argument. Giving the many other with the same surname, all transliterated Abe, that is not a strong argument. —Leo Laursen ( T | C ) 07:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

標題

標題を除去したのは何故ですか？無意味ではありません、都市景観を示す画像の標題なので除去しないで下さい。それと、標題が東京の都市景観になってるので、画像の説明も必要ないのでは？--Sasanoha 03:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

標題を除去したら、「Geography and administrative divisions」の画像と無関係な標題に入るのですよ。--Sasanoha 03:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

画像一枚の為にわざわざ標題を入れるのは珍しいやり方ですが、Sasanohaさんがそれがいいと思っていらっしゃるならば、どうぞ、元に戻してください。ただ、標題の有無にかかわらず、画像には、説明文が必要です。また、「Cityscape」の標題を入れても、その画像は「Geography and administrative divisions」の中に配置してありますので、無関係でしたら、画像自体を削除することを検討した方がよろしいと思います。--DAJF 04:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

「Geography and administrative divisions」に入っていても、直接入っていません。区切りにする事に意味があるので。無関係だとしても、画像を削除する必要が何処にあるのか分からないのですが。--Sasanoha 05:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

On the "Clean up and the wikify"

I appreciate your viewer and encourging.Yoichi Masuzoe and Satsuki Katayama are notable and their own websites will be referenced.To my regret ,they don't have the perfect websites ,while they are good at foreign languages.Yoichi has published "The 6 languages learner!".----The DQN,macbeth 07:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

September 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Chikage Oogi. Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Is a a reason for removing half the links on that page? Delta40_[talk] 10:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The edits I made to that article were all intentional. The links removed were all for individual years, which do not require linking in this article. Please note that your reversion also deleted other edits, such as the addition of macrons. I have therefore undone your edit. --DAJF

Contradictory

Hello. The image of the article that I edited is reduced. However you are not reducing a huge image of Akihabara. Your action is inconsistencies.　--Sasanoha 07:26, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

No inconsistency. Read WP:MOS#Images. --DAJF 08:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

High speed train records

Hello, it is after a long absence. Do you remember it? You hold out as ever.--218.221.134.23 15:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry, I don't understand your comment, but as I wrote on your Talk page, please check the dates of speed records before adding new ones. Many of those you added were out-of-sequence, and therefore don't belong here. Thanks. --DAJF 15:19, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

日本語が話せ、日本在住だそうですので日本語で書きます。その前にあなたは、フランス人ですか？中国人ですか？速度記録の表についてですが、私は、開発年次が多少前後しても良いと考えています。新幹線が1996年に443km/hを記録したのは「事実」であり、記載すべきでしょう。TR-08も2003年に開発されましたが、やはりマグレブの有人の表に加えるべきです。あなたは、年次にこだわり過ぎると思います。　そして、マグレブの表が下過ぎませんか？電車の次の位置に変えるべきでしょう。--218.221.134.23 15:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

マグレブを有人(manned)と無人(unmanned)にわけることにも、疑問を感じます。1979年に504km/hと517km/hの記録を出したML-500Rには、運転手とスピードを計測する国鉄の技術者（Crew）は乗っていました。ですから有人(manned)走行です。--218.221.135.13 13:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

218.221.135.13氏へ。このお方は在日アメリカ人です。--221.60.160.26 15:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Macrons

Since Shinzo Abe wrote his own name with macrons, the macrons should be left out of his name. This applies to other modern day Japanese politicians: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shinzo_Abe&diff=158604416&oldid=158244387 WhisperToMe 23:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

User talk:151.198.210.30‎

Oops, sorry if I stepped on your toes with the warning, and thanks for fixing my typo. I really should look into this "preview" button I keep hearing about. --barneca (talk) 15:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. No need to apologize. Thanks for going ahead and adding the warning, as that user did seem to be getting a bit out of control. --DAJF 15:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment on your edits

I appreciate your recent edits on the pages I've created or edited. But how would you feel if you create an article, and later some parts in the article are deleted without any specific reasons? In the article Susukino, for instance, you just wrote "Tidy up superfluous spaces and unnecessary year links", but did not provide any reasons why you deleted some points. I understand year links are not needed, and the image was rather big, except only the reason why you deleted some. I admire that you are fluent in both English and Japanese, while I'm afraid that I feel sorry about your lack of concern.

Plus, I know you are enthusiastic about defaulting thumbnails, but what makes you rush to delete size specifications of thumb images? All the users might not specify thumb sizes if they agree with the way you are. I acknowledged that the size of thumbnails in Susukino were slightly larger to make reading difficult, but sizes around 230px may not be too harmful for the readers. Please consider thumbnails sometimes are essence to the articles, and readers who do not have accounts on the Wikipedia and cannot change preferences exist. Incidentally, I'm dismayed that thumbnails I've added were worth reducing, while others in some articles such as Torre España and Jardin du Luxembourg remain bigger size. I expect you to give me some reasons of above, but if you do not have any response to provide, just ignore this comment.--Daigaku2051 01:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your feedback. Sorry if my edits to the Susukino article seemed harsh. The WP:MOS#Images section recommends that pixel size should not be specified for image thumbnails, which is why I removed the size specifications on this page. As you probably know, this allows users to decide for themselves what size thumbnails are displayed, to suit the size of their PC screen etc. If you see large images on other pages, then you should consider using the default thumbnail size for them as recommended in the WP:MOS. Anyway, please keep up the good work! --DAJF 01:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for your answer. I may continue submitting articles with a thumbnail in around 220px sizes sometimes when I consider the layout or essence under Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images, but I swear always be careful not to magnify the size of thumbnails too much, since I respect your way and WP:MOS#Images. For the English vocabulary I have won't definitely be enough to complete worthy articles, I will thank if you keep copyediting articles that I edit or create. That may satisfy enough for all the readers and users to read! Regards --Daigaku2051 20:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Technically...

Users removing warnings from their talk page is not considered vandalism. It's frowned upon but it's the user's decision. - Penwhale | ^{Blast him / Follow his steps} 00:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, I wasn't entirely sure of the situation regarding users' own talk pages. Thanks for the clarification. --DAJF 00:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Tokyo

I have never edited the Tokyo article so I may be a neutral party. I am interested in Tokyo. If you have a dispute with User:Cosc, I would be happy to informally try to help you reach a solution. Just let me know. Archtransit 23:57, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Err, thanks. I don't have a dispute with any particular editors on Wikipedia, although I have reverted a lot of edits made by User:Cosc to the Tokyo article recently, as they either degraded the quality of the article and/or went against the general consensus. Issues regarding the article and possible changes are currently being discussed on the article's talk page, so that would be the best place to contribute if you have any ideas or suggestions. --DAJF 08:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Let me know if you ever want a neutral person to help in any disputes. Otherwise, I'll just read the Tokyo article and enjoy. Archtransit 01:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Yamanote Halloween Train

While I do not condone the event at all, it is definitely a relevant occurrence. How about we try to fix the poorly put-together article rather than speedily delete it? professorsteve —Preceding comment was added at 08:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Osaka Loop Line

Thanx for reverting to my edit, removing the party. It is never suitable for wikipedia, I'm sure. I did not notice the revert of IP user.--Maxima m 00:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Tokyo Tower

日本語で失礼いたします。あなたは、明瞭だからという理由で、画像を交換いたしました。しかし、1枚くらいは遠くからみた東京タワーの画像も必要ではないでしょうか。--Sasao 04:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

コメントありがとうございます。まずは、遠くから見た東京タワーの画像については、正直に言いますと、僕は必要だと思いませんが、Sasaoさんが必要だと感じていれば、Edit summaryにそう書けば、載せるのは自由です。問題は、気に入らない一箇所の部分を編集するには、それと全く関係のない所の編集を何も説明せずに一気に戻す行為だと思います。Sasaoさんが気に入らない部分があれば、Edit summaryに理由を書いて、その部分だけを編集してもらえれば、皆から理解を得られると思います。英語があまり得意でない場合は、やはり、大胆な編集をするべきではないと思いますが、少しずつ、協力的にお願いします。 --DAJF 06:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

僕は、英語が勉強不足なので、あまり分かりません。正直言いますと、Edit summaryに意味不明で不正確な英語を書くのは、なんとなく嫌でした。これからは、正確な英語をEdit summaryに記入出来るよう、なるべく努力しようとは思います。--Sasao 07:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

こんばんわ。新アカウント「Sasao」を取得したばかりなんですが、ログイン時のパスワードの事で、もう1度だけ適当に別アカウントを取得したいと思います。何度も頻繁に変えるべきではないと思うんですが、次を必ず最後の変更にします。先日変更したばかりなのにすみませんね。一応あなたに知らせておきます。--Sasao 11:11, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

了解しました。わざわざのご連絡ありがとうございます。--DAJF 00:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

参考文献につきましては、日本語を正確に英語の読みに置き換えていただけるならば、変更して下さい。
PS.『夜嵐阿衣花廼仇夢』を読めますか？--Tokyo Watcher 11:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I added many footnotes.

^ There is other opinion, the employee at Senso-ji floor Mise's ( in present [ [ Nakamise ] ] ) decorative collar shop, too.[2]。
^ In Japan, the widow of the high status entered monker after the husband was dead. They are termed as The woman who isn't dead yet (未亡人, Mibohjin?), that is to say in primeval time in the East, the widow must commit suicide and follow her husband, in medieval times medieval they replaced to that in entering monker. See Junshi.

コメントありがとうございます。今、私も、できるだけ編集して「掃除」してみました。私の専門分野ではありませんので、この記事の人物のことは全く知りませんが、読んだ限り、なぜ有名か、なぜ歴史に残っているか、社会にどんなことを貢献したか等、はっきりと書いていないようですね。そういった説明がないと、いつか、Wikipediaの「notable」（知名度？）の基準で記事ごと削除される可能性があります。ですから、ご存知の話でしたら、そういった内容を入れたり強調したりした方がよいと思います。私を含めて校正できる編集者がいますので英語が完璧じゃなくても大丈夫ですので、引き続けて頑張って編集してください。よろしくお願いします。 --DAJF 00:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

日本語をご理解できる御様子なので、ご説明いたします。この記事は日本語と同時に進行させています。文化史的に興味ある記事と思い加筆を進めております。もう少し進行を見守っていただけませんでしょうか？夜嵐おきぬのほうもご参照頂きご高配をお願いします。--Tokyo Watcher 02:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Shinkansen

Hi, while I am inclined to agree with that suicide by train is relevant to a "no fatalities" statement, it's like saying "building x is unsafe because people die when they jump down from it." It is entirely unrelated to the Shinkansen, and if anywhere, it'd belong in the articles suicide and train. --Saber^Excalibur! 16:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the comment. I have moved that particular sentence into the preceding paragraph about "no fatalities", so hopefully it fits in better now. On its own, I agree it is pretty much meaningless, but I think it is a statement that needs to be included when talking about the "no passenger fatalities" record of the shinkansen. --DAJF 23:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Being terse does not equal better or endow an encylopedia-type quality to a boring article

Honestly, even the old World Book had its cheeky moments. And the Sky Dream picture is from the Japanese Wiki article. - Sparky —Preceding comment was added at 05:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I presume you are referring to the Sky Dream Fukuoka article. It is not meant to sound terse, but Wikipedia is not the place for flowery prose either. I have reverted it to the previous version, which uses a standard format more in line with the recommendations of WP:MOS. If you think the article is boring, try and add some more details about its history etc. --DAJF 06:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

But what rationale are you using to render a good article bad? This is copied from the Japanese wikipedia article plus stuff from the link. - Sparky (talk) 05:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

The guidelines are laid out pretty clearly at WP:MOS. The Japanese Wikipedia article doesn't appear to include any of the non-NPOV material that has been added to the Emglish article. --DAJF (talk) 03:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Pillars of Destiny

I noticed the note you'd left at Wikipedia:Japan-related topics notice board/New Japan-related articles/2007-October after redirecting the articles in question. I certainly agree that there wasn't enough context there; there are also some problems about the provenance of the articles (possible sock of a user who is banned on JA Wiki, but it isn't clear if that means he should be banned here). Do you take any issue with simply redirecting them and avoiding that issue? Dekimasuよ! 06:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. That was probably the best way to deal with the articles. I didn't know anything about the subject matter, so I was not able to attempt to tidy them up, but it looks like they had been left untouched for about a month. --DAJF (talk) 07:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Image

Why can we use these images (Image:X japan group.jpg Image:Xjapanlast.jpg) freely? Why weren't they deleted? Although my images were deleted, it's so strange that these images weren't deleted. --Hatto (talk) 02:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The two images you mention are labelled as "Fair use". Personally, I think these are copyright images used without permission, and I agree that it is strange that they can be used freely. If you also have suspicions, you could tag them as possible copyright violations. --DAJF (talk) 02:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Take It Beyond Adventure

Would being India's first online MMORPG be notable enough? Kuzwa 16:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Maybe, but the question is not so much about whether it is the first or biggest, but whether it satisfies the criteria for "Notability" given in WP:WEB. Ideally, there should be third-party sources describing this game. --DAJF 01:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Since the AfD discussion on Annie Jennings, where you voted "keep", has closed with a consensus to keep the article, I trust you will make some effort to add Reliable Sources to it? It has been unreferenced since creation. --Stormie (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
