was definitely part of the Edo period. There was a date slip on the page which I hadn't noticed. Good that you spotted it, although your conclusion was slightly wrong too. See you around. --DannyWilde 00:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
As for your Japanese education remarks and edits, I do feel compelled to feel some ground in your actions but I did not write what I wrote because I watched some Hollywood flick about Japanese culture. I'm not that ignorant, for one, so perhaps you could stop making judgments about me. Thanks. David
hello there,
I had a question, there is a discussion going on about renaming Trentino-South TyroltoTrentino-Alto Adige. But isn't the english translation of Südtirol/Alto Adige "South Tyrol". Since you did lots of translation work, I thought maybe you could be so kind to share some input? with kind regards... Gryffindor 09:14, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
I also wondered thanks 09:55 Nov. 7 Caleb Napier
Regarding the subcategories of Category:Japanese military aircraft that you nominated on November 8, none of the subcats were tagged with {{cfd}}, so I was unable to make the change. Please tag each subcat (meaning, edit each subcategory and add {{cfd}} to it). I'll keep the discussion open for a week once this is done. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks. --Kbdank71 15:36, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the work in recategorizing. If you get any problems or obstacles, please let me know. --DannyWilde 00:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
You obviously know more about this than I do, so go ahead and fix it. Jpatokal 08:55, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Will do, and thanks for the compliment. Hurricanehink 22:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
I've been thinking about translating this for a long time, but it's a big project with a lot of subpages that should be translated as well. Would you be interested in working together on a version we could post on one of our user pages? Best, Tfine80 04:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
You removed CES from the participants list. Was it deliberate? Just checking. DannyWilde 00:22, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I actually indefinitely blocked him. Pretty nasty character, I must say. Looks like you tried to reason with him as best you could. I actually just saw this because he had moved Dispute over the naming of the body of water between Japan and the Koreas and made it the Koreas and Japan and he removed a redirect as well and started editing it all after it was made clear to him that this wasn't ok. I warned him and undid the moves so then he started moving Sea of Japan as well. Banned him. If he comes on under a different name, let one of us know or go onto the Admistrators Noticeboard and ask them to help. Thanks. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 14:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not real hopeful about Cleric71. He's now twice removed warnings from his talk page, because he has become convinced that he didn't break any rules when he performed all of those moves. Even after me explaining this to him twice, he still seems to think that a move is the same as an edit. So he thinks my block was incorrect when it wasn't. I'm going to watch the debate on the naming dispute for the next couple of days, but I'm starting to think that he isn't going to understand what I've been trying to tell him. Oi vey. Well if it doesn't work, we gave it a shot. You were right in recommending that the block be reduced. Gotta give newbies another chance. But I don't think he understands that moves without consensus is not the correct thing to do. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 13:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the note, I'd been stuck in the middle of this a bit since I saw him blank an article not realising the overall situation. I've looked into it a bit now and it does seem his view is (currently at least) in a minority. I have already responded on his talk page, suggesting the best solution is discusion and failing that the dispute resolution process and most certainly not unilateral actions. Personally I have no interest in the article contents or naming, but I do have a interest in making sure people "play nice". Thanks again for the heads up --pgk(talk) 07:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Mkill, I noticed you were involved in deleting Category:Muromachi period. Can you tell me what category replaced it? Thanks Fg2 00:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for catching my typo on Category:Economics Economy of feudal Japan. I forgot that things don't, yknow, delete themselves. Silly me. LordAmeth 21:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
You changed the Inro page category from Arts of Japan to Japanese crafts; I would have thought both categories applied. Can you explain? Also, does this mean the categories should be similarly changed for all the netsuke/inro photos? Thanks. Cshapiro 13:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
The photos are from commons, where I categorized them as Arts of Japan, and used the same category when subsequently creating the Inro page. Of course, inro were craft objects when they were made, but I think they are now works of art as well. For example, Sothebys and Christies don't have Japanese Arts & Crafts sales, just Japanese Works of Art sales. Would it be wrong to use both categories? Cshapiro 16:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
It is ironic that I am Korean and I feel it sounds WAY promotional :-) IMO some negative view or criticism should be present in the article, for the sake of balance. Even among Koreans themselves there have been skepticisms for the phenomenon... I've considered to add the thing myself but it is more difficult when you write on your own culture. Hoping someone else would do it, I had applied the tag. But perhaps it is a better approach to discuss this issue on the talk page of the article. --BorgQueen 20:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, just noticed your message. I'm just an administrator not a bureaucrat and so can't change names, but I believe the place that you'd be looking for is right here: Wikipedia:Changing_username#Requests_to_usurp_an_existing_account_with_no_edits. It looks like it would be possible, and if you put a request up I could support it as well if needed. I have no idea who the other Mkill is. ^^ Mithridates 23:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just read your request. We can't fulfill any requests for other editions of Wikipedia here. The right place to ask is m:Requests for permissions#Changing username. Warofdreams talk 03:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, came to this thru' Random article, and have pulled out a few bits that were blatant POV (from your source, not you, I'm sure). One change in particular, has left a very awkward statement : "US economists have called for a reduction in Japan's public spending, especially on infrastructure projects, to reduce the budget deficit." This sentence arises from what I understand your source to be, but it could bear improvement. Cast an eye over what I've done? Cheers JackyR 11:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you relatively recently created this as a redirect to Provinces of Japan. Doesn't the title of that article violate guidelines about pluralisation? Would Japanese province not be a better title? elvenscout742 23:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Mkill. In Talk:Japanese particles#Merge from Japanese grammar, I followed up on my suggestion to move most Japanese particles content from Japanese grammartoJapanese particles, suggesting also to copy each particle to Wiktionary in order to allow people to look up individual particles (e.g. wikt:ばかり) or to see them in a full list (e.g. wikt:Category:Japanese particles). Before I move forward, I wanted to solicit your input again. Feel free to follow up here or on my talk page or on Talk:Japanese particles. The Rod (☎ Smith) 00:39, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
...forgot to inform you at the time: I responded on Talk:Kwaidan. Basically, I disagree, for the reasons I gave, as partly backed up by the other two articles here that carry roughly the same name (both using a "w", as they should on an English language encyclopedia). elvenscout742 00:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
As you are a member of the Japan-related topics notice board, I thought you might be interesting in helping out with our new WikiProject. We'd love to be able to tap into any particular expertise you may have in order to improve Japan-related articles here on Wikipedia. We look forward to working with you. (^_^) --日本穣 06:19, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for making {{List of Japan-related topics}} template. It is very useful and makes the articles better. (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 05:56, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
You copied at least two paragraphs of text from Globalsecurity.org into Japan Self-Defense Forces. The paragraphs began "Having renounced war, the possession of war potential, the right of belligerency, and the possession of nuclear weaponry," and "Although possession of nuclear weapons is not forbidden in the constitution, Japan, as the only nation to experience the devastation of atomic attack, early expressed its abhorrence of nuclear arms and determined never to acquire them." You did this without attributing the text to Globalsecurity.org. The Web Archive verifies that you are not the original author of this text: [1]. I'll assume that you didn't know this was plagiarism. In the future, please do not submit other people's text to articles without attribution. Thanks. Rhobite 21:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The text is public domain content from Library of Congress, Country Studies, Japan, Chapter 8, Self-Defense Forces, Missions. You can stop checking my contributions, its all from there. Globalsecurity.org stole there, too, can't blame them. --Mkill 21:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Next time, ask before making assumptions. --Mkill 21:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I see you've done a lot on Foreign relations of Japan-pages. You may be interested in Israel-Japan relations. Respectfully, Republitarian 02:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
On OCtober 16, 2005 you created Japan-Oceania relations.[3] I have nominated it for deletion. I feel it would be better if it was merged into other pages on Foreign relations of Japan. Regards, Ya ya ya ya ya ya 23:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Only after doing some major reorganization of List of Han did I realize that you'd been working on this. If you still are, I'd love to work together - that table you've got going looks great, and I'd be more than happy to help out with the translation, and filling in the table. I just don't want to sweep in and grab the rug out from under you, so let me know what stage you're at, and where you would or would not like help. どうも。 LordAmeth 18:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
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 00:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed that you created Central Union of Agricultural Cooperatives. Is this organization related to ZEN-NOH? I'd like to link the articles, but I'm not sure what their relation is. Gobonobo T C 05:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I wonder if you might be willing to suggest ways to edit my writing to make it more succinct, less wordy -- more effective?
??? I have no idea what this has to do with me, my Wikipedia edits or my talk page. Whatever you want or need I fear I can't provide it. --Mkill (talk) 01:15, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I know you were not involved in previous discussions, but the content was merged, as a compromise for this entire type of article, between keeping the article & deleting it, even if there may not have been much content; it was an extremely bitter series of discussions over many months, leading even to a arb case. Since content was merged, we cannot eliminate the redirects because they have the history of the contributions. We would have to actually merge the histories, which is tedious and complicated.

Hi, after seeing one of your articles at newpage patrol, I was surprised to see that an editor who has contributed quite so many articles as you over such a long period hadn't already been approved as an wp:Autoreviewer. So I've taken the liberty of rectifying that. ϢereSpielChequers 16:20, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated Category:Japanese performing arts (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for renaming to Category:Performing arts in Japan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs).

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalismorBLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Japanese values is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Japanese values (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Netherzone (talk) 18:40, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

The article Citizen and consumer movements in Japan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Over-specific Synthesis of ideas. Sources do not support the title. No coherent topic to what's featured here. Article has been tagged for cleanup since 2010 and is also orphaned
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
