[edit] Empress Dowager Cixi
I would have had no objections if you only edited the text without removing some of Cixi's historical images which are of valuable high quality. It can do no harm to leave them on the article, why did you remove them? Highshines 03:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edit Summary Request
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 16:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- My mistake. Recent updates have had their "edit summary" filled correctly.Ka-ru 07:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cixi
Hi, thanks for all your work on Cixi, the article looks much better now. I have tried to normalize the spelling of names to reflect common English usage and get rid of some pictures, the latter with moderate succcess. As you may have noticed, Highshines and his her sock-puppets have started to change names back to where they were before the clean-up, so we need to remain vigilant and check his/her edits.--Niohe 12:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'll keep an eye on things as well. Some people just don't seem to understand the concept of "common usage" in English. ;) Ka-ru 17:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 70 vs. 100 years after author's death
Hi. Is there a rule that we must only use works if at least 100 years have passed since the author's death? I thought 70 years were enough – why else would we have {{PD-old-70}}? I'm asking because I've uploaded copies of scans of photographs by Felice Beato, who allegedly probably only died about 99 years ago. Wikipeditor 05:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- No idea. I assume this question is in reference to one of the Highshines photos where I probably left a comment. If that was the case, then it was simply because Highshines marked the photo as "Public Domain - Artist's life + 100 years". A quick check of one photo shows the copyright label has been changed to something different, making my comments no longer relevant. Ka-ru 06:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Japan taskforces
In order to encourage more participation, and to help people find a specific area in which they are more able to help out, we have organized taskforces at WikiProject Japan. Please visit the Participants page and update the list with the taskforces in which you wish to participate. Links to all the taskforces are found at the top of the list of participants.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for helping out! ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 08:54, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Saiō
Thanks so much for your work on Saiō. It's a bit awkward to explain why I enjoyed this article so much.
For reasons too complicated to explain here, I've found myself extraordinarily focused on the integration of a 17th century Japanese chronicle into the texts of relevant 21st-century Wikipedia rticles. In this project, I've been spending an inordinate amount of time cross-referencing two comparable 13th-century and and 14th-century Japanese texts as a way of establishing a plausible context and a verifiable confirmation for serial edits. It was an unexpected pleasure to encounter a situation in which the Meiwa municipal government provided that very same kind of context and confirmation.
In addition, your personal snapshots helped made this project come alive in a way that left me grinning rather foolishly. Strange, I know ..., but there you have it. In this instance, I guess it makes sense to invite you to accept my edits as a curious token of appreciation. Why not?--Ooperhoofd (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
