Many thanks, WJBscribe via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:33, 5 December 2016 (UTC) Nomination of Shōnen for deletion A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Shōnen 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/Shōnen until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:17, 6 December 2016 (UTC) I have moved Shōjo to Shōjo manga per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shōnen. My worry is that the article doesn't go beyond a dictionary definition.

Speculative fiction category being removedHello Nihonjoe I ask you to explain to User talk:MarnetteD what speculative fiction because he wrongly removes the category of articles. Because his comments "there is no sourced info in the article to support the cat" demonstrate a complete ignorance of the meaning of the term. For example, his inexplicable editions in articles: Fantastic Planet, Despicable Me, The Magic Voyage ets. After all of the content articles is absolutely clear that they are directly related to speculative fiсtion.

Edit war on Cassandra DePecol articleHello, I have been following the article Cassandra DePecol for a couple days. I realized that edits I had made were quickly being removed, and was curious as to why, since the information was factual and relevant. Looking back through the page's history, I noticed a pattern: every time experienced editors like yourself contributed information to the page, a user without a user-page would revert it, with inadequate or inaccurate summaries of their edits. These edits were made under multiple user-names that I believe may be sock-puppeting for one another. These users include Test189, Dembun8, and 39ui912. All of these accounts have only been editing the Cassandra DePecol article, and are quick to revert any changes, each time claiming a different inaccurate reason for such changes. None have any information about themselves on their user-pages, and I wonder if they create sock-puppets with user-names to hide their IP address and location. I speculate that the person behind these edits may be the titular figure herself, trying to hide any facts that portray her in a bad light. I am newer to Wikipedia, and have never dealt with a situation like this before. I am reaching out to you because I saw you had also edited the page prior to me and had added information similar to the information I had tried to add. As you seem a very experienced and unbiased user, I figured you might know what steps to take in this situation. Thank you! Hayleyet (talk) 09:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

The Language of ScoutingYou changed WikiProject Scouting/MOS to read "These formal guides are used by the Scouting WikiProject. Please refer to them in all Scouting Movement matters regarding capitalization ..." So I followed The Language of Scouting to the letter. I literally searched within it to find the Scouting accurate capitalization for each and every capitalization change I made so that the Wikipedia articles now exactly match The Language of Scouting that the Scouting WikiProject specifically says to follow. Almost immediately after making those changes project member Kintetsubuffalo undid each and every change, labeling each disruptive editing. Each edit summary lists a direct link to The Language of Scouting so no one even had to bother to look it up like I did. Kintetsubuffalo is ignoring the Scouting WikiProject direction to use The Language of Scouting and instead is using his "common sense" or more accurately "whatever they feel like at that moment in time" which is exactly the problem with the capitalization wording on the Scouting WikiProject in the past. Pretty please, with sugar on top, call off the attack dogs. The Scouting WikiProject very clearly directs people to use The Language of Scouting. I did that and yet I am still being hounded and accused of disruptive editing. This is beyond ridiculous. Abel (talk) 05:40, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Draft article Japan Medical AssociationHi Nihonjoe, I've just finished and submitted for review a draft article on the Japan Medical Association Draft:Japan Medical Association. I wrote the article using Japanese and English sources. I'm not sure if it's up to scratch content wise but I think it needs to go into the main space (I think that's what you call it) so that others can develope it further. It is a huge organisation and a lot of work for one person to author. I put some notes on the article talk page as an explanation of how I approached the article source material. Also I think the wiki markup is not so good as I was try to learn this on the fly. I wonder if some of the other members of the wikijapan project might be able to have a look at the page? I would value any input and would follow through on any advise, that is within my capacity to accomplish. Warm regards, Dr.khatmando (talk) 12:06, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
DYK nomination I think the DYK nomination is appropriate. When I was reading the source material about the 2011 daishinsai I was impressed by the overall logistical accomplishment compared to the Kobe earthquake in the 1990s. I was working as a Sr Researcher in epidemiology in 2011, and when asked what would be the public health implications, we had no biostatistical data to base any recommendations on. Despite that the Japanese nation pulled off one of the most successful responses to mass human tragedy since WW2. I believe that in the future there will be scholarly value in the emerging field of [Disaster Medicine]. Forgive me for pontificating but I'm personally moved not on,y by good, but also by meaningful scholarship.

Japan Medical Association Journal & Japan Medical AssociationHi Nihonjoe, Thank you for looking over the content changes on the Japan Medical Association article. I look over the timely editing you do after I have expanded the content, and try and learn a what I can from your example. I feel that is helpful for my learning (thanks for your patience with me), and the process feels collaborative as well. I have two things I'd like to ask of you when you have time: 1) I've added a lot of secondary sources to the Japan Medical Association and would like some feedback about how to improve the article further. Do you think the article meets the criteria for B or higher? I've delved deeper into the research than I thought I would, so think I need some guidance in case I'm overemersed in the content. 2) I've also been working on an article for the Japan Medical Association Journal. Would you please cast your eye over this article as well? This article was harder to write than I thought but I'm not sure it can be improved much more. I appreciate your ongoing support Dr.khatmando (talk) 22:56, 2 May 2017 (UTC) using my name(original post removed by the editor who placed it.)

Artist PageHi I would just like to ask about your reasoning for requesting the deletion of the Gabriel Garzón-Montano page on basis of significance and ask if there is anything I can do to fix or request your reconsideration of the deletion. The artist is significantly prominent with an avid following of 10 million spotify plays and collaborations with artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Drake, and significant media coverage. Among google searches, his wikipedia page was one of the more frequently searched. A previous page pertaining to his info appeared to copy mostly info directly from press releases through his label and images, but my version now been completely unique and independent content. Thank you for your consideration! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jokerinthemarketplace (talk • contribs) 20:31, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
Comment about a blockI see that you blocked Jokerinthemarketplace as a sockpuppet of Artassociates. However, Artassociates had been given a "softerblock", and a block notice which explicitly said "please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy". There is therefore no abuse of multiple accounts, and your sockpuppetry block was clearly a mistake.

Portal:Current eventsI see you changed the protection at Portal:Current events to be cascading. Since the protection is admin-only, this means non-admins can no longer edit the individual day pages. I think most of the edits to those pages are by normal editors, and I suspect the portal cannot survive with this level of protection. There's a question about it at Portal talk:Current events, feel free to reply either here or there.-gadfium 01:46, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
You may have made a mistake about the reliable source I was using.I was using the google source while typing in my facts on The Lorax film article. You may have made a mistake while you were thinking I wasn't using a reliable source. It's ok though, it's just confusing to find the right source to use for typing in facts on an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FactsSmart25 (talk • contribs) 02:59, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Incorrect deletion of Katfyr ArticleGood morning Nihonjoe, I see that you have proceeded to delete the article for Katfyr, but this must have been an error. You stated the the decision is to "delete as the keep arguments failed to establish notability via multiple reliable sources," however multiple sources were included and I explained how these are relevant in my response at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Katfyr. Since the comments in this AFD page are long and perhaps made the decision complicated for you, I have simplified it and added the comments below to make it easy for you to see the points. Kindly, please proceed to undelete the article. Initially, the article had only 4 cited source at the time that it was moved into this board (for deletion within 1 week), and as a response I have added 5 new sources including 3 from the truly notable sites beatport.com and anime-expo.org, and this has been done to meet WP:MUSICBIO #1. Note that this artist falls within a specialized market and subculture, and therefore some of the sites offering reviews are also specialized and not well known. The inclusion of the well known music distributor "Beatport" and the anime/cultural exposition organization "Anime-Expo", and offering a total of 9 unbiased references should provide enough evidence about the validity of this artist. Nevertheless, thank you for allowing this improvement. pbigio (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2017 (UTC) In addition, to meet WP:MUSICBIO #5, I have included notable mention of Katfyr's multiple releases with major music labels in the EDM industry including Armada Music, UKF Music, Hypnotic Records, and FiXT_Music. I will continue working on this page during the weekend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by pbigio (talk • contribs) 220:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC) "Further additions" - Contesting the Proposed Deletion: Please note that I have added more notability items, including that the artist has made multiple releases, over 18 singles or EPs, via the notable electronic music distribution site Beatport. I have also added information about the artists' nationality, instruments used, and other biographical facts. pbigio (talk) 3:48, 6 May 2017 (UTC) At this point I clarify that for Katfyr notability, as per WP:MUSICBIO, has been addressed by including mention notable work along with reliable sources that have been added (including beatport.com, armadamusic.com, ukf.com, and the website and youtube page for the company PreSonus Studio One. Examples of notable work added include his work with award winning Emma Hewitt and then releasing the associated remixes through Armada Music. The reliable source for this is the links to the Beatport music distribution website. This aspect of notability occurs twice, first with Emma Hewitt's Foolish Boy and then with the song "Rewind." Another example of notable work include the fact that Katfyr was able to reach position number 1 in the Beatport Dubstep Charts in May 2014 with his original song "Lose Control", which meets WP:MUSICBIO #7. For this point, I have also included more reliable sources have been added since the first one was simply a website that tracks Beatport charts, in addition mention has been added to the website for the company that makes PreSonus Studio One which includes many links to videos and other articles which also mention the fact that Katfyr did indeed reach position number 1 on the dubstep charts in Beatport. Another example of notability, which meets WP:MUSICBIO #10 for inclusion in a notable compilation, I have added the work Katfyr did in two music compilations by World-Touring band Celldweller, and released through the well known record label FiXT_Music. Lastly, there has been the addition of a full discography which shows at least 18 different releases that are present on the Beatport.com website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbigio (talk • contribs) 12:54, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

I am not sure weather or not the page was in contrast to the 'criteria for speedy deletion' G12, because I can not see what was on the page anymore (as it is deleted) This is probably a case of me not knowing some rules for this page and would be happy to learn them!

Deletion of TrustATrader PageHello, I see you are the editor who deleted the TrustATrader page I submitted for, according to the notes, advertising. Are you able to give me some more specifics as to which parts of the article were deemed as advertising? I was very careful to make sure all of the sources used are reliable and that the information provided regarding TrustATrader was purely factual. Is the reason for deletion the mention of other brands in the TrustATrader group? I hope you can give me some clarity as to exactly why the article was rejected, in more detail, so I can make the necessary changes in order to successfully resubmit. Perhaps you would be able to give me some advice as to the sections of the article that need work in order for it to be accepted.

Draft:Ivan LamHi Nihonjoe, In regards to the action you took in the subject above. First of all, I would like to apologise for my carelessness, I did not realise that I was plagiarising from an existing text on another website. As of now, I would like to have the page back up (if possible), as a draft so that it would be easier to work on it from there. I did not save anything of what I wrote previously in the page. If you are unable to perform my request, then I completely understand and I will start from scratch again. However, I get this message when creating a new draft, and I am unsure of what it means. Hence, why I am contacting you. Do hope that you can help. Appreciate a swift response. Sincerely, John — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wei-Ling wiki (talk • contribs) 03:35, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Foncmu's usernameHi. You blocked User:Foncmu under the username policy, but I don't agree that their username was unambiguously promotional. It's very common for students to include their alma mater in their screen names, and such names appear to be allowed under WP:ISU anyway. (It's not always possible to tell a student trying to write about their school from an employee engaged in self-promotion.) While the user needed to be educated on the copyright policy, I don't think their username warranted a block. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:44, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Japan Pharmaceutical Association draftHi nihonjoe, I hope all is well with you. I've been trying to get the draft article of the Japan Pharmaceutical Association moved to the mainspace by have run into trouble with the reviewer. We had an ongoing dialogue about the page and without notice they deleted the conversation from their user talk page. When I raised the issue again, they deleted that conversation also and pinged me on a thread they created on the talk page of the draft article. That thread contained nothing. I was going to raise the matter one last time, but when I went to their talk page their was a huge argument ensuing between them and several other AfC reviewers. It's all a bit much for me who seeks to live a quiet life... So I didn't want to bother you with too much to ask but if you get the chance, could you have a look at the Draft:Japan_Pharmaceutical_Association and add any spit and polish you think would helpful. The article is not as comprehensive as the Japan Medical Association article, but most national peak professional associations for pharmacists aren't as publicly active as medical associations. Therefore I thought it best not to labour on it just to make the article longer. However JPA has some notable members including a Nobel laureate, and the founder of Shiseido cosmetics who served as the 3rd president of the JPA. I always appreciate your help and hope this is not too much trouble. Dr.khatmando (talk) 01:50, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Please try to encourage discussion on improvements, rather than discourage it.The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. At the time of this writing, discussion pursuant to the question of the meaning of a word in the talk page of a WP entry on the novel 1984 has been closed, with an appended note explaining that the discussion contained "nothing of value," and according to the same opinion apparently must have posed no prospect for containing anything of value. There is some irony in having to respond to this specifically with regard to an article devoted to 1984. Nonetheless, let me say that I respectfully disagree. This was no "forum discussion" as stated. No discussion was taken into the article. "Newspeak" is a term used in the novel that contains its own WP entry. A reliable answer on point (either footnoted or via passing mention, as noted) that adds anything substantive to the article's description of this term would only add to the quality of the article. As explicitly noted, discussion was pursued throughout with such an improvement in mind. I see no reason for discouraging follow-up on this topic. Please try to encourage discussion on improvements (to this article, and to others), rather than discourage it. All the best, Alfred Nemours (talk) 10:56, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Please take a moment to think before inserting bombastic claims contrary to fact and closing discussionsThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. I am writing directly to you because it concerns your replies, rather than improvements to WP at large. You inserted a rather thoughtless reply in the topic above before immediately attempting to close discussion on that topic. This is not advised. In that reply, you again repeated the opinion that "your discussion about 'Newspeak' had nothing to do with improving the article" as if it were fact, and without any basis, ignoring several replies already. You are invited to consider the topic "weird," though calling a topic "weird" to in some way discredit seems to me an especially weak attempt to quash other potential contributions. Your statement that no reliable sources have been provided is contrary to fact. Sources animating the question have been provided and cited, as explained now repeatedly. Lastly the question as to whether "anyone even cares" about the topic has already been answered. I care enough to have raised the topic. And more relevantly, as already shown by passages cited, Orwell/Blair cared. His already cited writings demonstrate a concern about justifications for the violence of states in the English-speaking world. I would have guessed that you of all people would have appreciated this, given your interest in Japan, and given your interest in the themes raised in 1984 sufficient to have apparently led you to the WP entry on 1984. Please take a moment to reflect before publishing bombastic claims contrary to fact, particularly when the facts have been directly brought to your attention, and before closing discussions to which you have only contributed by questioning whether they deserve to exist. If you have an objection to the relevance of facts being raised, or to something else, fine, but simply pretending that they don't exist or are the product of someone else's imagination helps no one. Basic civility entails avoiding ad hominem. And the peremptory closing of discussion after getting the last word in, I don't know what to say, it just kind of reads as silly. Please reflect on this in the spirit in which it is meant. As always, take care, and all the best, Alfred Nemours (talk) 18:49, 12 July 2017 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

ANI premature closure?Hi Nihonjoe, I believe you closed this ANI prematurely, so I would appreciate some clarification. In your explanation, you wrote in part: "follow the directions at WP:DISPUTE. This is one of the last steps listed there, and I know you haven't taken all the others." The primary concern of this dispute, per the ANI, was conduct, not content. So WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE applies. While the user's conduct was indeed discussed with the user on the article's talk page, not the user's talk page; the very next step, per that policy, was to "ask an administrator to evaluate the conduct of the user." That's just what I did with the ANI. So I'm not quite sure what you were referencing by saying that coming to ANI was "one of the last steps listed there." Could you please tell me what are the other "steps" you believe I missed? Thanks. X4n6 (talk) 08:01, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

The fact that that text was written at all is proof that somebody has this opinion.
