Thank you so much for all the improvements you made to the article, and the help links you provided. I tried to search for tutorials, to insert images and the language link to the page in Japanese but I was not very lucky in my tries… I managed to understand how references are working though, that's a victory.

I need to learn how to put the nice boxes on the right of the screen and I do not despair to find a way to insert footnotes.

I'm really glad there are nice people like you to cover up for my shortages! Bérangère444 (talk) 23:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for writing this article! I'd like to double-check - this is your own new creation and not a translation of an article from another language wiki, right? (If it is a translation, we need to properly attribute it.) I would also suggest collapsing the headings a bit, since it goes all the way down to fourth-tier headings. This will be easier to navigate if you remove "Outline" and bump every heading under that up a level. -- asilvering (talk) 02:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for accepting the article. I wrote it myself based on the different sources mentioned. The Japanese article was quite a mess, talking not only about the Kaizuka Period, but also the Palaeolithic, and other Neolithic periods from other parts of the Ryukyu and Japan, and repeating things two or three times in different parts of the article, so that I gave up on translating and thought it'd be easier to write it from scratch instead. We had a lot of conferences about the Kaizuka Period recently so that I had a lot of recent sources.

I'll modify the headings as you suggested, thanks for telling me. Bérangère444 (talk) 03:05, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! -- asilvering (talk) 03:35, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good day,

I put the Kaizuka period page in this category, but I don't know why it won't appear on the Category page. I created another category Category:Prehistoric sites in the Ryūkyū Islands for another article (Nakadomari (archaeological site) ) and the page correctly appears on the Category page. The help page said that the categories should automatically appear in a box at the bottom of the article, which is not the case (I mean, they are at the end of the article but there is no box) so I must have done something wrong, but I am not sure what.

There are at least two other articles to be written for the Category:Prehistory of the Ryūkyū Islands (Neolithic in another part of the archipelago and Palaeolithic), and probably more with detailed articles for instance on pottery or lithics, so I'd rather have it not deleted.

Chatan Town cultural and natural assets moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Chatan Town cultural and natural assets. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has too many problems of language or grammar, it is a poor translation and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 08:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting to think you have something against Ryukyu archaeology... Bérangère444 (talk) 09:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, actually I'm all for Japanese articles here on Wikipedia. This article has issue regarding formating (i.e. Sectioning issue) and sounds like an travel guide and I wasn't sure if this is a list as this looks like a list and might be a good start to a list, if so, this must format as one (see MOS:LIST). I highly suggest that you made this into a list and fix the formating issue. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 09:58, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I have the spoons for that. When I started editing Wikipedia a few months ago, several fellow Okinawan archaeologists told me "you won't last long, the Japanese imperialist lobby is strong on Wikipedia, they'll make it so hard for you to post anything about Ryukyu history or archaeology that you'll just get tired and leave". I won't leave yet, but I can understand they all got discouraged. Bérangère444 (talk) 22:42, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it's NOT about the "Japanese imperialist lobby". The issue about here is formatting to fit the standard of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 00:00, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
