Welcome
AtsumoriThank you for your expansion of my short article on the play Atsumori; I had not realized there was an infobox for Noh, and it's a fine addition. I suppose it depends on one's interpretation or translation, but the version of the play I read did not mention a "Reaper", but rather a "Youth", who burns firewood to collect salt out of seawater. There are references to a "mower", but a Reaper? Seems the wrong connotation to me, even if the denotation (reaper more or less equals mower) is correct. Thoughts?

Thank you for your translation workThank you very much for finishing the translation of Hannes Lintl and cleaning it up. I'm removing this entry from WP:PNT now.

I found the tag a few hours ago, and then the internet went down before I could actually save the edit adding it. I've translated about half of it at this point, though it needs massive cleanup and reorganizing still. I was planning to do that once I'd finished the translating, but I can edit in what I've done so far, if you want to work on that part, or translate the rest -- I'm starting to get in over my head with all the scientific terms. Let me know, and sorry again if I inadvertently took over what you were working on! -Bbik 03:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Noh - Ikuta AtsumoriHiya. I've just created an article for Ikuta Atsumori, another play based on the story of Atsumori. The translation I read does not explain which character is waki, tsure, or shite, so I sort of guessed. My logic being that Atsumori is shite because he's the title character, and the whole thing derives from his legend; his son might be waki, because he's the primary character other than Atsumori, and is not really his companion, so he couldn't be tsure, I don't think. The monk, though he introduces the play, and might therefore normally be the waki, more or less just accompanies the boy, and so I labeled him wakitsure. I'd appreciate it if you could take a second look at this. Thank you. LordAmeth 13:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, disambiguation pages do not follow the same stylistic rules as normal pages. Please see the disambiguation style guide for more information. If you have any questions not answered there, drop me a note or try the help desk. By the way, I have already brought Thule (disambiguation) into line with the guidelines.

Thank you.--Broletto (talk) 11:56, 16 April 2008 (UTC) Lady into FoxIt is so odd to commend someone on a single word years after the fact that I suspect I'm doing it to be odd, but thank you for describing the book Lady into Fox as "enigmatic". Not only is it very true, but no other adjective would likely have come even close. --Kizor 15:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC) Image source problem with Image:Agathe_Backer_Groendahl.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Agathe_Backer_Groendahl.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:09, 14 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 13:09, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Calling all active WP:NOVELS membersWikiProject Novels Roll Call
WikiProject Novels is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to have annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active within the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:Novels editor, please add your name back to the Active Members list. Also feel free to join any of our task forces and take a look at the project's Job Centre to get involved! Next month we will begin the coordinator election selection process. We hope to have more involvement and input this time around! More news will be forthcoming. Thanks, everyone! María (habla conmigo) 14:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC) Mihai cartoaje's talk pageHi, I agree that Mihai cartoaje's habit of removing critical (but not other) messages from her/his talk page is troublesome, but there is actually nothing in policy against this. It is different for the talk pages of articles, where deleting comments (especially those of others) is considered serious vandalism, but a user's talk page is their own space. Thought I'd tell you before this becomes another edit war for poor Mihai cartoaje to be involved in :-) Happy editing! --Crusio (talk) 08:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Motif of harmful sensation etcThere's nothing to stop you copying any Wikipedia page to your own computer for your own use in whatever way - contributors "give away" all rights to their contributions for use for any purpose. You can request that deleted articles be e-mailed to you, I don't know quite how that works, but in the case of Motif of harmful sensation the deleting admin was user:Sgeureka who may be able to do it or give you more information. pablohablo. 16:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC) Happy Easter!On behalf of the Kindness campaign, I just wanted to wish my fellow Wikipedians a Happy Easter!

Alan16(talk) Bavin(Xanthoxyl's replies are here.) For popular terms, when someone types it in, it is a practice in Wikipedia to assume what it is that they want if only one use is known. If I know only one use for a word (such as Lubdan, when I first saw it I thought 'never heard of that before, nobody made anything, so Leprechaun). If alternative uses for a word exist: this means that a redirect is inappropriate, I don't deny that. What I am denying is that the solution is to delete it. The solution is to create a disambiguation page. If people want to do a search they can click 'search'. Newbies are going to be button-oriented and click either 'go' or 'search' anyway. This entire dispute resolves around the idea that someone will press 'enter' and give up on the topic existing on Wikipedia. Searches will show pretty much anything, even if a name of a non-notable Bavin were listed as a reference or something on an otherwise unrelated article. Deleting does nothing to expand Wikipedia, it only cuts off the beginnings of a good disambiguation pages. Many words fluctuate back and forth between redirects to a major article (like Obama only began redirecting to Barrack in 2007) and disambiguations as other incarnations of the word become more notable. In this case, if there are other notable incarnations of a word on Wikipedia, here is what I've been telling people: be bold and add them, edit the redirect into a disambig page. Disambiguation pages are desirable, yet people simply just delete it and don't create anything. If people are legitimately concerned for important mentions of a word having other notability then it would be being done. Since it isn't, objections are clearly deletionistly centred. In some cases this is either targeted at redirects, or at disambigs, or at both. Or maybe just ones made by certain authors a tagger has a beef with. Tyciol (talk) 03:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
(At this point I gave up.) Hi-- I reverted this for now. When did the author die? Can you find out? the law allows it after author's death+100years. So if the guy died before 1909, it's OK.

Gift bookNice additions. Thanks! --Midnightdreary (talk) 16:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC) Regarding pentalogies and the likeHi - Not wanting to start an edit war, I thought I'd explain my thoughts on the use of these words. I've noticed among the community an overwhelming desire to group ANYTHING with a certain number of parts as an "~alogy", whether it forms a coherent work or not, and although I doubt the validity of some of these words, you make good arguments for "hexalogy", although some of the other examples on the same list are fairly dubious. In my haste, I reworded the my reference to lack of dictionary use of the words on the trilogy page, but perhaps we should try to come to some consensus as to how to explain these words without encouraging their use for anything but true "~alogies".
