Unreferenced BLPs

Hello LordAmeth! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 15 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Annie Collins - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lock request

Hi LordAmeth. Not sure of the protocol, but perhaps it would be appropriate to lock User talk:Fg2. There is no need to fill his page with stuff like this or this anymore. Bendono (talk) 10:32, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is not generally done unless the page is being vandalized. I would recommend against doing this. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I leave it up to more experienced Admins. I must admit, I've only very rarely gotten involved in anything like that - locking pages or anything, so I'm not well-versed with policy. お任せします。 LordAmeth (talk) 20:48, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think his page should be locked since his contribution to photography has more potentials to become WP:Featured pictures. Once such featured pictures are notified to his talk page to honor his contribution.--Caspian blue 20:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fair enough. Thanks. Bendono (talk) 00:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Theatre Newsletter - February 2010

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (Febrauary 2010)

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! Issue 5 - February 2010 Welcome to the latest WikiProject Theatre newsletter (the first in quite a while!) bringing you news of what's going on in the project, what progress we're making, and how you can get involved. Latest News All theatre articles currently tagged with a project banner have now been assessed for quality. There are still plenty to assess for importance, though - see the article assessment page for details. There is now a News section on the main project page, updated automatically to keep us informed of developments in theatre articles. Collaboration of the Month Theatre has been nominated as the next project collaboration. This could be an excellent opportunity to improve the quality of one of our most important articles - listed as one of Wikipedia's top 1000 most vital articles - but it needs a lot of work before it can be considered for even good article nomination! Stop by the collaboration page for tips on how to improve an article, to add your support, or to suggest alternative or future collaborations. Jobs you can do Any and all improvements to theatre-related articles will help the project, but if you're looking for something to do, have a look at the to-do list. Some current areas of priority are: Improving top-importance articles Prioritisation of unknown-importance articles Creation of requested article stubs If you are currently working on a particular topic or area of the project, and would like to muster some support from other editors, feel free to add tasks to the to-do list. Or even think about setting up an informal working group - create a project subpage to organise tasks in a central location. Remember you can always discuss ideas with others at the project talk page. New members The past month has seen Poisonborz, 15lsoucy, LaNaranja and Phaeton23 join us - welcome to you all! If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project? And finally... Don't forget to add the {{User WPTheatre}} userbox to your userpage, and {{WikiProject Theatre}} banner to article talk pages to spread the word about the project!

Ref Desk Question related to Japan

Ohayo gozaimsu, LordAmeth
This question came up on the Miscellaneous Ref Desk "What is the name of those red and white striped fabric panels hung at formal events in Japan?" See HERE I tracked down the article kōhakumaku (紅白幕). I also used as a reference a section of the Genpei war article that you wrote (re origin of red/white as Japanese national colours.) Which is how I found you. The kōhakumaku article was a little vague, I was wondering if there was anything you could add to this issue? Domo arigato.--220.101.28.25 (talk) 01:28, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice. An interesting topic. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. LordAmeth (talk) 03:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've done it now! Can you help with another question?, Entertainment Ref Desk this time: Identify a 'Japanese tapestry', from a video
Thank You for Smoking @ 2.40, 3.36 or 5.16 or from these stills (only shows a small part): [1] or [2]. Or is it User:Nihonjoes turn? ;-) —220.101.28.25 (talk) 07:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Burmese–Siamese War (1548–49)

Saw you on the SEA Military History Task Force, if you have time please help me improve this article: Burmese–Siamese War (1548–49), just copyediting will be much appreciated. Thank you. Sodacan (talk) 02:01, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Q: "Does anyone know any good books that cover Japanese wars and warfare before the industrial age?"

Ohayō,
Seems you are busy, but if you have the time another Ref. Desk question re. Japan has come up HERE. I have already pointed them to Stephen Turnbulls' books and also suggested "Secrets of the Samurai: A Survey of the Martial Arts of Feudal Japan'" (9780785810735): Oscar Ratti, Adele Westbrook, Publisher: Charles E. Tuttle and Company Inc. If you can add anything? If not maybe drop a note here, or my talk as you prefer? Sonnō jōi! --220.101.28.25 (talk) 17:30, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kura (storehouse)

I have read with interest the articles on Minka and Machiya that you have contributed to. I have written one on Kura Storehouse's and I wondered whether you would be able to read it through and rate it for me? Kenchikuben (talk) 06:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A beautiful start! Really, a very fine article. I have made a few small changes; I hope you do not mind. Of course, there is a ton more that could be said about kura, but that can always be said about any article, and you've really covered a basic treatment of the topic quite nicely. Keep up the good work! LordAmeth (talk) 10:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, if I get my hands on any more source material then I'll be sure to add more to the article.Kenchikuben (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Gochin no Tajima.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gochin no Tajima.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:53, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
