Duly popped in; you're quite right, this "controversy" isn't encyclopedic yet. See also FUNimation, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Speed Grapher, where similar claims had been added... :/

Guess I'm not the only one who creates good seiyū articles:a few of my seiyū stubs have proved to be springboards to your good expansion edits.Nice job...;)Ranma9617 04:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Putting a promotional tag on the image is not really sufficient. You need to document the source. If it is from a CD booklet, you need to document on the image page which CD, otherwise this image still has no source.

Hi Nihonjoe,
I noticed you've created some new articles recently, and I'd like to tell you about a way to publicize your articles to the Japan-related Wikipedia community. You can visit Wikipedia:Japan-related topics notice board/New Japan-related articles and add your article to the top of the list. Lots of us watch that page and will be interested in your creations.
Best regards,

Thanks for fixing my typo under the sama subhead in "Japanese titles." Your "grammar fixes," however, were no such thing: the antecedent of doctors and lawyers is practitioners, not profession; they should therefore be plural. Politicians is not another example of a practitioner of a profession and therefore needs to be separated from doctors and lawyers, and it is followed by a comma because I (and the previous editor) used the series comma.
Thanks are for fixing rending in to rendered in; my intent was to write rendering it in, but it looks like my eye didn't catch that.
The subsequent section (on sama) also needs some factual correction; e.g., gokurō-sama is not an example of sama as a courtesy title; the next paragraph about sama being used to address "people considered to have some high ability or be particularly attractive" is a bit dodgy, as it mistakes the overt phenomenon and the underlying psychology; and the final paragraph (about ore-sama) fails to note that this usage is usually ironic and self-deprecating, not arrogant (i.e., a person who is being arrogant only would not use it to emphasize his superiority, although it may appear in a "thought balloon" in, say, a manga where the others in the story view the protagonist as haughty).

Whether the word "忍" can mean "concealed" has little to do with whether the compound "忍者" can mean "concealed person" because a compound can have a meaning quite different from its constituent parts.
However, I agree that you were right that the word has a meaning of "concealed" after rereading my dictionary. (I am only ja-1, and closer to ja-0!) But there is no "non" meaning. Nevertheless I really don't want to bother with that article any more.—Gniw (Wing) 04:40, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I reverted the move. Oda never spells his own name with macrons. Neither do his books, which are published in the USA. The purpose of the bolded text: Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎 Oda Eiichirō, born January 1, 1975) is to show the "standard" romanization. WhisperToMe 19:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Haré+Guu is the official English (US) title of "Jungle wa Itsumo...", and Wikipedia uses the English titles where they exist (I haven't moved the article to the correct name as I hate doing page moves). The "See:" thing was used on the article before I started editing it, it makes sense to me as it avoids having duplicate links on the page. Shiroi Hane 12:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I borrowed your great Japanophile userbox, arrigato! Chris 18:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Very sorry about that; completely unintentional. OhnoitsJamie 19:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate your activism, but my vote stands. I believe CoolCat acted entirely within his authority as an editor in listing it for debate. I also believe CVU has escaped its original purpose into a means for people to pad their pages with userboxes, and the first step in reforming it would be to delete the category and start over. A list of people who oppose vandalism is hardly of notable benefit to the project as a whole. Thanks, Will 00:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
OK, if you feel that using Non-ASCII chars makes the article better or add value then go ahead, I would not edit war with you. Still it is difficult to enter the title (e.g. for redirects), it might not be printed correctly on all the possible settings of the browser, it would be sorted wierdly in categories, etc. abakharev 06:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Just like to say thanks for your input on Anime and manga terminology. I'm trying to get a few more hands in. My aim with the article is to have a big page of words and phrases that people can browse through with short texts so that a half heard term can be remembered or a half understood term picked from similar sounding terms. Similar to side boxes in some reference works. (ooops) Alex Law 14:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Not to discount the masses of great article making you're doing, but are you aware that you are singlehandedly monopolizing the macrons debate for Japanese articles? Technically article titles are still supposed to be macronless until some sort of official consensus is made. freshgavin TALK 22:06, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Made a comment on the macron vote, but had a slight reservation to something that you may want to look at (as it deals with intentional and deliberate non-macron use). Hope this helps.--み使い Mitsukai 21:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
How do I create an HTML escape sequence for one? Ranma9617 08:23, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Since these articles are in use, if it isn't too much trouble could you please add Category:Japanese women as you are editing (where appropriate)?
Thanks. -- EmperorBMA|話す 16:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I think I took care of that page. -Pitman6787
I saw that you were responsible (and I mean that in a good way) for the warnings on the top of the page that it needed editing in grammar, spelling, etc., and that it wasn't objective, so I went through the article and edited, and I think I corrected those problems. -Pitman6787
I'd appreciate if you'd abide by the request at the top of that page: don't edit it while I'm doing so. I've reverted your edits.--nihon 23:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I understand your position, but I respectfully disagree with it. Userpages are not an unlimited, unbounded "perk", and there are many things that have been considered inappropriate there that have been edited out or in some cases resulted in complete deletion. I understand that NPOV does not apply -- I never have argued that it should apply to userpages. This is about preventing social rot, not about things directly relevant to the articles. I feel fairly secure in my interpretation of Jimbo's wishes. --Improv 07:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Why is it that fashion section was removed? Kawaii fashion and handwriting was and still is sourced... --Cool CatTalk|@ 16:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate your kind wishes and help, right now it's not so much the money as that her family in Japan is grieving and is not yet ready to see me. But I so appreciate your help on my behalf, blessings to you. Chris 20:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
There is a person or two who wants to move this page elsewhere or perhaps try to get it deleted if they fail this. Thought youd want to know and perhaps voice an opinion. --Cool CatTalk|@ 00:25, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Japanese macrons, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. freshgavinΓΛĿЌ 00:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Dear 日本穣,Thank you for listing this at deletion review instead of once again reposting the content which would result in repeated deletions under WP:CSD#G4. Please refrain from personal attacks such as this. Have a nice day. — Feb. 27, '06 [07:24] <freakofnurxture|talk>
Please do not simply make accusations. The abovementioned article was deleted in accordance to Wikipedia:Deletion policy. It was nominated for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Translation of Japanese film credits into English), there is a consensus to have the article deleted (there are no keep votes, 4 delete votes, 80% majority), and even after your comment there is no other editor who voted to keep it. The article was deleted again by Freakofnurture as you have re-created it. If you feel strongly aganist this, please take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review. - Regards, Mailer Diablo 09:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC) My apologies for accidentally missing out your message, I was tending with other tasks. In this case the nominator should state withdrawal of the AfD, which is not done, and hence I counted the votes, and deleted it with a consensus of 75% majority (4 delete, 1 move). Since you've passed it on Wikipedia:Deletion review, I think it's best to let this issue be settled there. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 09:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Contrary to your comments, I don't remember "...[causing the] article to be deleted, even after it was changed to a glossary", especially since I supported your decision to recreate the article under the latter name. I'm not sure why it got deleted again under the title "glossary", though I haven't exactly been online that much this week. freshgavinΓΛĿЌ 03:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the links in the wiktionary version. I hadn't realized that the en: shortcut no longer worked. Rossami (talk) 21:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
