Photos

Hello again; you mentioned a little while ago that you had lots of photos of Kamakura; I'm gradually trying to list (hopefully as a prelude to more substantial enumeration) the various cultural properties, starting with those of national significance, but below the NTs/Specials; I've got as far as Kamakura-period ICP structures and the Historic Sites of Kanagawa (not too many red links with this one), and there are a few entries where I'm not spotting any images at Commons or on Japanese Wikipedia; if and when you have time and of course only if you're interested, I don't suppose you happen to have images of any of these: [1], [2] (= [3]?), [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]; quite a long list (and there may be more at some point, when I get further forward in time and down to the prefectural/municipal designations...) Of course no worry at all if you don't; otherwise trust all's well, sorry to bother you, and thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 00:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I uploaded some pictures of 元箱根石仏群 here. bamse (talk) 21:12, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, now stubbed, and thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 13:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and sorry for my prolonged absence. Believe it or not, I have every intention of coming back as soon as I can. The photos:

  1. I have none of them, but I will go and take them where possible.
  2. Alas, Gokurakuji won't let you take photos. I will ask, hoping the name Wikipedia will work the miracle.
  3. Let me have the full list of what you want, if possible sending it to my email address.

Great, and especially so that you'll be back at some point, content creation has slowed a bit recently; thank you about the photos and yes, I wonder whether "official business" might open (I hope not close) some doors; perhaps some kind of Foundation badge/letter might help - if it meant sculptures etc could be imaged too, that would be even better, but that's probably hoping for too much.
In terms of a full list of what is needed, perhaps I should email you in a few weeks once the historic sites/ICP lists have filled out a bit; perhaps at some point (one of two things on and off wiki to do) I could add the prefectural historic sites to the Kanagawa listing and finish off the ICP buildings lists; I guess the end goal would be to have (multiple?) images of all 579 designated properties (some with multiple components) per this count, and of all the registered items too! Unfortunately and unusually I can't find a complete listing at the municipal level for Kamakura, just these headline counts; checking entries with 鎌倉市 against them in this itemised list of national and prefectural cultural properties in Kanagawa runs to three figures worth, but that still means we're missing at least the 296 municipal designations (including 32 structures and 9 sites)... Perhaps best as a long-term, multi-user effort! Then, once the total corpus of each type is established across the whole nation, more ambitious undertakings such as "Japanese architecture" and "Japanese art" might be attempted...

Can you email me as well? Perhaps I have something useful. Also thanks for the Moto-Hakone Buddha article. Actually, when I took those pictures, I had no idea that they were that old. bamse (talk) 22:08, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi t | c 17:36, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okuden, chuden

Hello! Do you happen to know what an Okuden (奥殿) is? JAANUS is a bit mysterious about it, see [12] and [13]. It turned up in the newly designated NT, Kangi-in (歓喜院), Shōden Hall (聖天堂 shōden-dō), see for instance [[14]]. I believe Chuuden (中殿) is the same as Ai-no-ma, right? bamse (talk) 23:21, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Just wanted to let you know, that I recently added two books to my library: (i) The Art and Architecture of Japan by Robert Treat Paine and (ii) Japan - A Short Cultural History by George Bailey Sansom. Haven't had time to read all of it yet, but if you want me to look up something please let me know (in case you don't have these books already). bamse (talk) 23:08, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Egara Tenjin Shrine, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tenjin and Haiden (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please take a look at these related articles:

Perhaps you can help mitigate some of the confusion which is highlighted here. --Ansei (talk) 18:36, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bamse helped me sort through what was puzzling here. Thanks for being available for such questions. --Ansei (talk) 15:04, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no need for investing much time in this unless it interests you more than it interests me. At this stage, I just wanted to add a short sentence about the ichinomiya status of these shrines.

As I worked with the articles, I was a bit uncertain about how to handle disambiguation ... and that seems to be sorted out well enough. Again, thanks for being someone to whom I can turn with questions. --Ansei (talk) 00:27, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Torii may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • Many Buddhist temples include one or more Shinto shrines dedicated to their tutelary ''[[kami]]'' ("[[Chinjusha]]", and in that case a ''torii'' marks the shrine's entrance. [[Benzaiten]] is a [[
