Yaki-gaijin

Greetings

Hello. Welcome to Wikipedia. -Amake 11:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm doing pretty good as far as city relations go. I'm also not JET, so that might have something to do with it. JET is being phased out in this area.

I know you're not JET, but you're the replacement for JET, and somehow I doubt they'd rush out to get new housing just because you're not JET. Just a word of warning. -Amake 22:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and I forgot to add: If you haven't already you should check out the CIR Homepage. You don't need to be a JET to join, and it's a good resource for ideas, help, and generally keeping in contact with your JET and privately-hired peers around Japan. -Amake 05:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I love the CIR Homepage actually, though I tend to receive more than I am able to give on there. I don't have any plans to head down to Ikata anytime soon, but I hope to meet you some day cause you seem like a good person. Thanks for the help.

re:Manami Hino

You are welcome. I am actually working a project on bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton and I saw Hiro's name come up. When I saw what had been written on her name, I had to strengthen up what had been written up about her. Chris 12:35, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Responding to your note on my talk page

Hi.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style (follow that wikilink, or "WP:MOS" for short) is actually a number of related articles. If you start at that wikilink, you should be able to find the specific section of interest. Another useful link is WP:WP.

I edit a lot of articles, and I'm not sure which of my edits you might be commenting about -- can you please let me know? I would like to look at what I might have done to cause "jarble".

Cheers. Boracay Bill 02:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Japan's new immigration system

Wow. Just as I am gearing up to get serious about going to Japan to live and work. Should I have trepidation, or do you think it will be more nuisance? Domo, Chris 08:50, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Just an unfriendly nuisance that will take up more of your time in the immigration line. Depressingly, many of the major nations of the world are moving in this direction of xenophobia. Technically it's another violation of privacy and human rights, but unless you want to go on some kind of crusade against these systems (which are popping up all over) all in all it's just a nuisance.Yaki-gaijin 09:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Statement of dispute

Ikedanobuo has wasted an unacceptable amount of wikipedians’ time with his disruptive edits. His unconstructive and biased edits have prevented the Comfort women page from growing and being improved, and the evidence of his Bad-faith is ample;

Desired outcome

Block Ikedanobuo to prevent further disruption of Wikipedia; especially the Comfort women article.

Description

Description of each offense is listed in the Evidence section below

Evidence of disputed behavior

Persistent vandalism: forcing POV

• Ikedanobuo constantly edits the Comfort Women page, but does so in a blatantly biased manner. Many times using unsubstantiated phrases like

But Kaneko is famous as a liar etc, and touts his biased POV as the truth.

• Ikedanobuo makes discussion topics such as ”Conclusions” and ”Summing up” where he decides what is fact and what is not and lies about having a consensus. This is NOT editing in good faith, by any means.
• Ikedanobuo has made multiple unconstructive, if not damaging, edits to various articles and has been warned by many users. Here is one example,and a deleted one, and you can find many more by searching through User talk:Ikedanobuo’s history because he regularly deletes discussions about his disruptive behavior and other warnings that have been placed on his talk page.

Edit warring or revert warring

• Ikedanobuo makes huge deletions without consensus. Many times the content he tries to delete is content that has been reverted from his previous deletes. Here are two examples of his large-scale, biased editing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comfort_women&diff=167999401&oldid=167098524 and most recently, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comfort_women&diff=170271039&oldid=170236723 (You will notice if you scroll through the entire record of his changes, in these two instances, that he tends to purposely employ weasel words and inserts POV comments or just unsubstantiated and blatantly biased material)

• Ikedanobuo’s misconduct has been going on for a long time on the Comfort women article.
• and the article was blocked allegedly because of the edit wars caused by Ikedanobuo.

Breaching the sock puppetry policy

• Ikedanobuo may or may not be using 1 or more sock puppets by the names of User:Tropicaljet, and User:Necmate. They all seem to employ the same disruptive tactics (if you look through the warnings on their talk pages), they have similar 1-line user pages, and at the very least Tropicaljet seems to know Ikedanobuo, if they aren’t the same person.

Evidence of trying and failing to resolve dispute

Ikedanobuo’s character is under dispute. Even though it seems a useful discussion is taking place, Ikedanobuo basically ignores others’ comments and continues to edit as he pleases. Here are some examples of people trying to discuss issues with Ikedanobuo;

• Ikedanobuo continues to delete entries mentioned in this discussion even though the consensus is that they are valid
• Revealing his biased anger
• Making broad conclusions while ignoring others' input/corrections
• Once again, deciding what is truth without actually engaging in discussion

Comment on process

Hi, on a first reading, I identified the sentences I do not think appropriate. There is however two problem I see at the moment for this process. 1) If we look in history of the article, [[1]], we see it was blocked on 24th March. However, the days before, it was not Ikedanobuo, but Tropicaljet who was edit warring and reverting to Ikedanobuo's version. Must we simply imply he is the same user ? 2) The users who request the investigation must need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. [[2]] At the moment, I do not think with two can prove this. We cannot go back to March and since October Ikedanobuo has not been very active on the article.....--Flying tiger 13:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I haven't grew too used to this either, but buddy, you need to start getting used to a little something called the preview button. It could save you a lot of time. Odst (talk) 20:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

HAhahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I hate proof-reading... But I do seem to like going back and polishing things I've wrote. Yaki-gaijin (talk) 22:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:ANI#Long time abusing Wikipedia by Japanese editors from 2channel meat/sock puppets

Hi, Yaki-gaijin, I'm Appletrees. I just come to inform you that you have been exposed to 2channel, Japanese famous bulletin board. Unfortunately, many Japanese editors seem to have abused Wikipedia with the threads for over 4 years. The discussion set up three days ago, but I let you know of this now. You live in Japan per your page, so that you can directly find information regarding you. I translated some, but the threads are too many, so If you have a time to look at it, visit the links listed there. I also add the diff in case you come to the page much later, Thanks. --Appletrees (talk) 01:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I responded on your talk page. Yaki-gaijin (talk) 07:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, your name is mentioned quite a lot for Comfort women and Hata articles. I translated some of them into English and you can see it in the collapsible box named "Chosenjin's Wikipedia 21". You met Hermeneus (talk · contribs), Jjok (talk · contribs), Amazonfire (talk · contribs) because of 2channel. --Appletrees (talk) 10:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hahahah. Ok I found it. I am 焼き外人 and I'm guessing you are アップル. Just a bunch of geeks getting together to vandalize Wikipedia. There's no way to stop them on 2CH, but we can at least keep deleting their crap once it hits Wikipedia. Thank you very much for the notification, and keep up the good work!

Speedy deletion of Rights holder

A tag has been placed on Rights holder requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. --/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 02:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dallas Abbott

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dallas Abbott, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Use of Notability Tag

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. A notability tag is placed on articles which need expansion and reliable 3rd party sources for verification and reference. It is not a statement as to the worthiness of a subject. For reference, I've added a collection of helpful links on your talk page.

This article on Nagisa Abe will be reviewed by others on Wikipedia, as this is a community project. In the meantime, it would be very helpful to expand the article by searching for references online and in-print. Please feel free to visit my talk page if you have further questions. Cheers. --digitalmischief (talk) 03:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of CO2 emitted per million Btu of energy from various fuels

I have nominated List of CO2 emitted per million Btu of energy from various fuels, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of CO2 emitted per million Btu of energy from various fuels. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Philip Harper

Is there another Philip Harper you're making room for? Also, the page itself should be moved, not just copied over. What're we trying to do here? --Dynaflow babble 03:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I made a new Philip Harper article and turned the old one into a disambiguation page, after creating a new spot for the original of course. Yaki-gaijin (talk) 03:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

But is there a new, different Philip Harper to disambiguate from? --Dynaflow babble 03:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. In order to keep the edit history of the original Philip Harper article with the article's text, I'm going to have to ask you a favor. Can you blank Philip Harper (jazz trumpeter) and put up a {{db-author}}? I'm going to revert your disambig page back to the original Philip Harper article and then move the whole thing, history and all, to the new pagename. Thanks. It's very important to keep the history with the article. --Dynaflow babble 04:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Never mind if you've wandered away for a moment; I've now done the moves and the articles are clear for editing. Cheers. --Dynaflow babble 04:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Negative air ionization therapy appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. You have given no proof whatsoever that that therapy is considered by any authority pseudoscience. I strongly suggest you take a look at the journals in which those papers were published: they are the 1st, and 3rd psychiatry journals by impact factor Xasodfuih (talk) 12:38, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cessation-continuation debate

The article Cessation-continuation debate has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

POV-Fork.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jminthorne (talk) 03:50, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

It is not a good idea to move a section of some article, and thus removing it from a specific context, to another isolated place without the proper consent of the author of the section. In so doing, the section can be distorted and lose the original meaning, as this was in this case. By moving it to a new page, the section lost its neutrality because the account was written from the Cessationist framework. Its proper place is within a page that gives an account of the Cessationist perspective. Moreover, it is good to analyze and evaluate some arguments from one of the disputant's point of view. That's why we have two independent pages Continuationism and Cessationism that offer, from their respective frameworks, an account of the dispute about the charismatic gifts. I am not sure why did you find the article difficult to read? Aleksandar Katanovic (talk) 08:16, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

RFC: Christianity and violence

An RFC has been issued for Christianity and violence here. Since you have participated on the Talk Page in recent months, I thought you might be willing to review the RFC and provide your input. Thanks. --Richard S (talk) 15:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Christianity and violence

You proposed Christianity and violence for deletion back in April of this year. It ultimately survived a second AFD largely on the promise of fixing the concerns that were discussed in the AFD debate. The article has undergone substantial rewriting in the last month or so. I did a substantial amount of the work to revamp the article. I was wondering if you could take a look at the current version and provide your feedback on the Talk Page. You might also find Sectarian violence among Christians interesting. Thanx. --Richard S (talk) 10:18, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:01, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
