Your GA nomination of Hyōgo-ku, Kobe
[edit]The article Hyōgo-ku, Kobe you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Hyōgo-ku, Kobe for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of 333-blue -- 333-blue (talk) 13:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Are you planning on making any edits on this nomination? I'm willing to argue for the hold to be extended, but the argument would carry more weight if you did some editing before the week is up later today to show that you plan to work on improving the article. It's your choice; please let me know your plans. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:35, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi BluMoonset and thanks for your prompting. I will start working on the article later today. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:45, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Who is BluMoonset? Did you mean BlueMoonset? Or someone else, but unlikely. 333-blue 13:17, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Very unlikely indeed. So unlikely in fact that pinging BlueMoonset on my behalf would not have gone astray. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:05, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: Boxing style/stance
[edit]Greetings. Changing the infobox field from "style" to "stance" would likely discourage editors from including peek-a-boo, switch hitter, etc., but from what I can see it happens quite rarely. If the field were changed, it would instantly render the infoboxes of tens of thousands of articles useless. It's best to just revert on sight, whilst pointing any persistent editors towards the upcoming new MOS, which covers the use of infobox fields in detail. As for specific descriptions of a boxer's actual technique, that belongs in the article prose and not the infobox. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:39, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Hyōgo 11-ku
[edit]...and presumably many of the other articles on electoral districts. 1. Thanks a lot for improving them. I wish I had more time, many of them are outdated, a lot more need to be created. But then there are so many other things to be done.... 2. Could you find a way to keep the endorsers in even if they don't fit into the more fanciful results template? A plain independent is something different from, for example, an I-DPJ,PNP candidate in the late 2000s who is obviously an anti-LDP candidate backed by the main opposition. More recently there is Ibaraki 7 where an I-Kōmeitō candidate beat a Liberal Democrat twice in a row – to my knowledge the only single-member district in the country where LDP and Kōmeitō were competitors in those elections. And I could go on... In any case, I think mentioning which parties have told their followers to vote for a certain candidate should be in the results. --Asakura Akira (talk) 08:16, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message Asakura Akira. I've seen your name on basically every politics article and have been amazed at your volume of work, so it is nice to receive a message from you. I know what you mean about so much to do, so little time. Hopefully we can keep chipping away at it.
- As for your main point, I agree that the endorsements are sometimes very important. As far as I've seen, in elections for mayors and governors the candidates seem to all be independent but receive endorsements and/or recommendations from parties (I don't know if it is a rule though). I don't know how to work it into the template, but perhaps it can be incorporated into a few sentences summarizing the election campaign? I'll experiment with one and ping you if I think I've come up with something decent. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 13:51, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Update: I have added some text to Hyogo 11th district. What do you think? The text could do with some better references regarding the overall results, but they will be easy to find. I've had one thought though, with the text added in this format, perhaps it would be better if the results were in reverse order? That way, a reader will see "Matsumoto beat Zushi in 2012", followed by "Matsumoto beat Zushi again in 2014". With text added it seems a bit strange to have the most recent described first. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 14:24, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- Even if I were to edit Wikipedia every day which I manage to do at times, but then often not for weeks, I'd still get a lot more out of Wikipedia than I put into it; it has become as indispensable to me as my morning coffee... And the niche field I concentrate my edits on has mostly to do with where I feel I'm most useful. Much to do and few editors around means that those few seem to be everywhere. But more readers and editors involved is always better.
- The text for each individual election serves the purpose perfectly, and ideally (and Wikipedia is here to stay, it will get there one day), it could cover many other details of the campaign. And also other, non-party endorsements which are usually not included in the result tables in the media, for example, support from Shinseiren ("Shinto Association of Spiritual Leadership") – there are, or at least: were fairly moderate Liberal Democrats around, but a candidate backed by one of the major staunchly conservative groups is not very likely to qualify...
- Chronological order: I'm not sure, there are disadvantages either way. I fully agree that with a descriptive text, chronological order seems more natural. But if the order is reversed and all post-reform elections are in, the first thing to see would be an election result from 20 years ago, and further back as time progresses and the list grows.
- On "independent" mayors & governors: On the prefectural level, as far as I know from going through recent results, Gunma governor Masaaki Ōsawa's run as Liberal Democrat in 2007 was the most recent instance of a successful candidacy not formally as an independent [discounting Osaka, Aichi and other places with at least initially local/non-national party nominations]. Looking beyond the winners, there are Communists who run as "independent" with JCP support/recommendation, but also some who are formally nominated by the party. But I think, a few decades back when security policy and US relations were still the main trenchline between "conservative" and "progressive" parties [even if the voters were often already much more concerned with "kitchen table issues"], partisan races for governor with the two most important candidates explicitly nominated by the two major parties and endorsed by their allies were a lot more common. On the municipal level, I think, it is similarly rare these days – I remember that some MIC statistics I included somewhere here or on de.wp counted less than 10 mayors among the 1,900+ total as elected formally partisan.
- Always happy and productive editing, Asakura Akira (talk) 19:34, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- P.S.: That should have been 1,700+ municipalities, of course, and there were actually 5 party mayors as of 2013 (地方公共団体の議会の議員及び長の所属党派別人員調等(平成25年12月31日現在). --Asakura Akira (talk) 20:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Athomeinkobe! Please note that including the actual rankings of the schools is a copyright violation. The reason for this is because the rankings are based on some subjective criteria or formula, thus making it a creatively-derived list. This would not be the case for something like a list of schools ranked by attendance, which is just a raw factual number. We have an essay which explains this in more detail at WP:CIL. Thanks for understanding, and for the effort put into it so far. CrowCaw 22:52, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message Crow. This is an interesting conundrum you've raised. I based the format on Indian engineering college rankings, 2015, which itself came about following an AFD in which a copyright issue was never raised. You can see in the discussion throughout the AFD that many such lists exist and not just relating to Indian schools. Do you think that there is any level of use (e.g. top 5, top 10) or some other form of rearrangement that would fall under fair use? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:45, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yes there are many of these kinds of lists. Some are obviously ok, some not, so we have to evaluate them as we find them. Unfortunately here, as far as fair use goes, the listings could be included in articles about individual schools, saying School-X ranked #5 on this list, #6 on another, etc. For it to be fair use in this list form, the article would have to discuss or analyze the criteria used, which seems to be proprietary at best, or even just one writer's opinion. I know that doesn't leave much substance for an article, once the whole purpose for it is taken out, but copyright is one of those areas that we have little leeway in enforcing.

Thank you for encouraging new student editors
[edit]Thank you for your kind words to the students on their work on miso. They worked hard on it. We made a mistake when we moved the content out of the Sandbox and had learned. JudyCChan (talk) 16:50, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message JudyCChan. Everyone else seemed to see a rule being broken, but all I could see was a well-written article. I have heard of student projects before but do not know what the mechanics are. Perhaps the final exam could involve integrating the two articles together? Jokes aside, it would be a waste if your students' work was not brought into public view at the end of the project. I will not interfere with the article now, but if I can be of assistance when the course is finished or at any other time please let me know. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:46, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- Your ongoing assistance will be much appreciated. I will try to convince the students to do the extra mile and move the content out to the miso page, but frankly, they are busy with so many other course work. I see myself doing the move once the course wraps up in April. JudyCChan (talk) 05:27, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Removal of Category:Indian Air Force officers
[edit]Why are you removing the category Category:Indian Air Force officers from the articles? I have added the categories after verification, you may yourself visit the links or references provided in the articles or the official website of the Indian Air Force. Though I appreciate your efforts but I would advice you to kindly restrain from reverting genuine changes.Vinod 04:37, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- It is because the two people are also in the "Air Marshals" category, which is a subcategory of the "officers" category. Having them appear in both categories is redundant. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:51, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- P.S. I'll also note that I also performed checks to make sure they were not non-diffusing categories (I.e. It is ok for them to appear in both). As the marshals category is not labeled as such, they should not appear in both. After all, an air Marshal is just one type of officer. A ping to Vinodtiwari2608 so that you see this reply. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:56, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't agree with you point of view, for example the Indian Air Force Chiefs have the categories Indian Air Force "Air Marshals" and that for Chief of Indian Air Force. I feel the category Indian Air Force Officer is valid as it helps to filter all the articles written about Indian Air Force Officers, after all the intent here to make the information easily available. If the intent of the edit is not vandalism and the category is genuine one, I think it should be accepted. I'm however happy to go with the team decision that is arrived at the article talkpage -- if you wish to take the discussion there. Vinod 05:03, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- I appreciate your concern and I know you are acting in good faith. But on the other hand, if there are too many categories then it becomes difficult to see which are the most relevant. See Wikipedia:Overcategorization for the guideline on adding too many categories.
- In this case, there are three relevant categories: Category:Indian Air Force officers → Category:Indian Air Force air marshals → Category:Chiefs of Air Staff (India) and I'd guess there are less than 100 biographies in these categories. Some such as the first chief listed, Vinod Bhatia, appear in all three, while some, such as the next on the list Norman Anil Kumar Browne appears in the Chief category only. So there is inconsistency which needs to be dealt with.
- I will raise a question at the central category talk page rather than at one biography's page, as that will get broader involvement in the discussion. I will ping you there later. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:18, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello, please cannyou review an article for creation for me?
[edit]Here is the link to the draft, Draft:Soltesh Iyere you can also check the 'History' page for changes made by editors from the wikipedia live help centre who did said the article about a living person meets the WP:GNG not...
- 105.112.34.203, I have had a look at the article. The five references used in the article provide nothing beyond confirmation Iyere founded the company. Similarly, there are links to 4 interviews. Again, each of these are about the company, not about the person. The company has an article at 9janimi Channel. There is nothing to show that this person is independently notable of the company, so it is not acceptable as an article. You need to find sources which discuss the person and who he is. There is a small amount of biographical information (birthplace, residence, education) but it is all unsourced. There is a link to a personal website but I couldn't open it. So, unless notability of the person is proven, this article will not be accepted. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:21, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
How would you like to link/mention/differentiate concerning Papal tiara to the above article? Needs to be done somehow. Any suggestions? Thanks.(Lobsterthermidor (talk) 11:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC))
- Thanks for your message Lobsterthermidor. It is currently listed at the top of the "other uses" section. Personally I think that is enough. I am open to persuasion if you have evidence that it is a well known term. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 11:45, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- From a rapid google, mentioned in Ency Brit: "In Roman Catholicism, a triple crown worn by the pope or carried in front of him, used at some non liturgical functions such as processions. Beehive-shaped, it is ..."[1], but perhaps best is this "This special valuable crown that the pope wears is called the Triple Crown Papal Tiara. The Triple Crown Papal Tiara is the true treasure that represents the true power and authority of the Pope"; from Sergio Becerra, The Papal Tiara: The Authority and Power of The Pope, 2013[2]. I would suggest this is too important an "other use" not to form an "other uses" header tag or a mention in intro. I would doubt that those who coined the horse racing term were not aware of its significance. I would suggest a header tag as follows "other uses:Papal tiara".(Lobsterthermidor (talk) 12:05, 14 April 2016 (UTC))
- Lobsterthermidor, I'm not doubting that the papal tiara is also known as the triple crown, but the question is how well-known is it by that name. If you look at the article, "triple crown" is last in the list of other names and is not used again anywhere in the article. By comparison, "triregnum" and "triple tiara" are used several times in the article. Taking a look at your sources, Britannica says it is "a triple crown", i.e. it is using it as an adjective not a noun. Granted the book does use the term 9 times, but the title of the book is The Papal Tiara. I suggest starting a discussion at the talk page and see if we can get some further opinions. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think the simplest solution is to convert the section "other uses" in this article into a disambig page, and add an "other uses" tag at the top of all articles concerned. Any objections?(Lobsterthermidor (talk) 08:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC))

The references 4,5,6,7 are not relevant to SOAU and readers. It has nothing to do with the accreditation agency. So "The university also claims certification by the International Accreditation Organization,[4] a website which The New York Times and other sources have reported as a distributor of illegitimate degrees.[5][6][7]' and the references 4-7 need to be deleted.

130.88.12.235 (talk) 10:30, 19 April 2016 (UTC)Do you have any confirmation that SOAU is accredited to Pakistan based IAO as the link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axact) in the SOAU Wikipedia page suggests? If you are not sure, then you should remove the entire ambiguous sentence and references. By the way, well established Indian Universities do not need foreign accreditation. As you know SOAU is well accredited with Indian Government agencies. Even if these references stay in the Wikipedia pages nothing will happen to the University's reputation and functioning. People of India believe in Indian accreditation agencies than foreign accreditation agencies. Therefore baseless and ambiguous sentences and references should be removed to maintain Wikipedia standard.
I again removed Draft:L'Immortel from WP:PNT. Drafts aren't handled there, and this is consistent with existing practice. It's for articles that created in article space for a two-week grace period before being deleted. In contrast, if an article remains in Draft space without being made ready for article space, then it simply won't be approved to move into article space. It isn't "hiding" the problem, as you suggest. There is no problem, at least of the sort that WP:PNT is for. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:38, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Sanchez
[edit]Hello bloke with the name I can't type. I can do óőéúűőáé which probably you can't do :) I think hmm the best is to clean up the article for Sánchez before we submit as a PROD, what do you think. THe fact they are mostly self references makes it an immediate WP:BLP violation in my mind but obviously you think differently, so quite right to withdraw the speedy. I listed it again for speedy cos I thought I had just missed I didn't understand why it didn't have the speedy tag on it, so that's just procedural and I will withdraw that if an admin don't first. What shall we do with it, hulye (Hungarian for Stupid person, not offensive but more like idiot or something but meant nicely, like Homer Simpson is an idiot but not a bad one, hard to translate). I have taken the CSD off that is just my stupid mistake an (edit conflict) essentially. Si Trew (talk) 04:50, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- SimonTrew you could try deleting via PROD, but the way I see it there is a chance someone will object which means it will have to go to AFD anyway. Also taking it to AFD improves the chances of the article actually being improved (if the subject is actually notable), so in this case I think that is the better way to go. But if you want to take the PROD option I won't stop you. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:23, 6 May 2016 (UTC) P.S. It wasn't me who removed the speedy deletion template, it was DGG.
- Right let's not get mixed up in procedural crap, actually I removed the second speedy tag. I am not going round the houses saying who did which or what. You have said you don't think it is speedy, therefore it should go for discussion at an article discussion. Now you have two options WP:PROD or WP:AFD.

See the WP:MOR. Thanks. --Idh0854 (talk) 04:50, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- Idh0854, what do you mean "the wrong way around"? There were discussions at Talk:Korea Standard Time and Talk:Pyongyang Time to merge pages (not move) relating to time in the two Koreas. One user Michael in the Pyongyang discussion suggested the "Time in..." pages should be the destination of the merge, and nobody disagreed. I then followed the instructions at Wikipedia:Merging#How to merge. Could you please explain the relevance of WP:MOR when a merger was performed, not a move? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- I apologize for the late response. I'm saying that it should be changes (in relation to the history of artcles) as described below, if a tentative agreement for movement is reached. But I am not sure about the necessity for merge.
- Korea Standard Time → (temporary)
- Time in South Korea → Korea Standard Time
- (temporary) → Korea Standard Time
- Thanks. --Idh0854 (talk) 01:31, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- What you are proposing doesn't make sense Idh0854, as both end up at Korea Standard Time. But consensus at the talk page was for them to be merged into Time in South Korea. I am going to revert it back to how it was before you made the moves. I suggest you then start a new discussion at the article's talk page before making any further moves. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:53, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for writing the other language.
- 私は記事の歴史を保護する必要があると思います。Athomeinkobe氏の方法は記事の歴史の履歴が切れ、記事の編集者を確認できないです。これは明白にウィキペディアの著作権違反です。これが私がrvした理由です。私は移動に反対するとか再論議を主張するとかの意味ではなく、但し誤った記事の移動の方法について私の見解を述べさせていただきます。
- Thanks. --Idh0854 (talk) 15:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining your concerns Idh0854. But since this is the English Wikipedia, I think we should discuss in English so that others can understand and participate. If I may summarise your points, you are saying that my method of moving the page was incorrect and that the revision history of Korea Standard Time has been lost, which is a violation of Wikipedia's copyright rules.
- To reply, I did not simply move Korea Standard Time to Time in South Korea. I performed a merge of the two articles, following the instructions provided at Wikipedia:Merging#How to merge. Specifically, I merged the contents of this version of "Korea Standard Time" with this version of "Time in South Korea". The current version at Time in South Korea contains the "history" section from the first article and the "IANA time zone database" section from the second article.
- It is true that when you click "history" at Time in South Korea you cannot see the revision history of Korea Standard Time. But this is always the case when the contents of two articles are merged into one. To help solve this problem, the yellow box is placed at the top of the talk page at Talk:Time in South Korea. It provides a link to the revision history of Korea Standard Time. This is standard practice as described at the "How to merge" link above and I believe I performed it correctly.
- By performing your move you are simply hiding the edit history of Time in South Korea instead. Also, you did not correct the links on the talk pages. I think we must accept that because two articles have been merged, the history of one will be hard to find. But the history is not lost. It is visible by following the link on the talk page. If you are concerned because Korea Standard Time has a longer edit history (more than 100 edits), I can start a discussion regarding whether it is appropriate to move the articles so that the longer history is more easily visible.

Fukushima Desaster
[edit]Just thanks for answering. I did place the question very long time ago and many insertions including 3 charts and 3 tables etc. I don't want to change anything more on the article but anyway there should be a clearing about the relation of nuclear 0 deaths to tsunami and quake 19 000 deaths including japanese dying from gas explosion because not using atomic power and also inside article should be the human reasons for the desaster clearly to be sawn in comparision with old german konvoi reactors like done in spectrum science article. Konvoi layout was for highest water in 10 000 years and strongest quake in 100 000 years. Instead 2 generators 4 and 2-4 different fully bunkered including fuel tanks and in case of H2 and overpressure 99.9% filtered oulet. The tsunami was about 15 m high going over the tsunami protection wall breaking a 10m high door that way disturbing the generators so that no decay heat cooling was possible for some time. H2 explosions happend also in the empty neighbor block etc.
Not to be disscused only to be understood is that own THOR HTR pebble bed design doesnt have any `nuclear risk left also with quakes >12 (log) and tsunami >100m with trucks thrown on the reactor and leaving near whole japan destroyed and japanese dead.
That is possible not only because of strong quake and water proof outer containment out of steel, concrete and double steel but because of pebble material again out of new RBN Reactor boron nitride made only out of isotopes B-11 and N-15 that way near diamond hard up to 2800°C, melting 2973°C, unburnable, unsoluble in water, high heat movement, cool shock resistant.
Also airplane crash, tank shooting and bunker blaster break though can`t cause a nuclear catastrophe because most is staying baked inside the pebbles also some are broken and no spreaders around with not radioactive helium and sand additional unburnable and unsoluble if rain added going out outside because loosing to much neutrons and gamma ray protection over enough distance. Also terrorist attack and human error are undangerous because of passive switch-of systems and passive cooling without power.
Japan was installing passive H2 converters from Areva but better is 99.9 filtering system and for core catcher HfC, ZrB2... Melting point of Areva EPR catcher out of ZrO2 and spread area out of cast iron is under melting point of UO2 so it can melt also neutron absorbtion under core is missed with ZrO2, reflecting core bottom likely with resonance gamma and much "U235m".

The Culture of Disasters
[edit]I've looked over your pending edit to Disasters and am curious as to why you added what you did. It is certainly beneficial, but does not keep with the spirit of the article. I'm not sure if it should be accepted either. Dschslava Δx parlez moi 02:58, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message Dschslava. To clarify, an IP added the text as a sub-section of the "classifications" section. It is clearly unrelated to classification, so I moved it into its own section. The material is interesting and provides some bulk to an otherwise surprisingly short article, so I did not delete it straight away. On the other hand, perhaps the article is intentionally short and intended to serve mainly as a pathway to the many "see also" articles. If the text is to be kept it needs a copyedit for format as well as a review of what exactly is supported by the sources given. I am unable to do that right now though. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 03:09, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Prashantpking
[edit]Hi Athomeinkobe, Just a heads up but the "fixing grammar" in Prashantpking's edit summaries is actually a glitch with a mobile app or something (It's all here),
Apparently the editor hasn't got any talkpage notifications either so they've been reverted and probably have no idea why so I would ask infuture if you see the editor to try and remember this incident before reverting - As far as I'm aware it's not the editor that's actually adding that edit summary,
Anyway thanks and happy editing :), –Davey2010Talk 20:35, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation Davey2010. Despite this, I still have serious concerns for the user's English ability and their competence as an editor. Articles about TV channels that they've created have been copy/paste jobs from other articles, and simply adding the word "India" where appropriate. Edits to other articles have mainly consisted of adding the word "India" (and sometimes removing other countries). When they try to write prose it is barely coherent. Then, their recent spate of editing has basically been vandalism, see [3], [4] and [5] for prime examples of adding "India" to the caption of photos clearly not taken in India.
- I think they are a good-faith editor who is proud of their country. To date I have not sought any "action" against them because I think monitoring and reverting is easier than trying to find IP socks if they are blocked. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:26, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome, Wow I never even spotted those ... Good catch! :),
- In the 3 years of being here I'd say I've only came across 2 indian socks and I have a feeling if they were blocked they'd go elsewhere although I could be completely wrong, I only took action as I begun to get fed up with them ,

[edit]You reverted my addition of Donald Trump to God emperor and told me to see the talk page. But I don't think you saw my edit summary, I added more sources on the talk page, so the Huffington Post source isn't the only one. In your past reverts of Trump you have said "one reddit thread is hardly enough" and "completely uncited".[6][7] The one source should be enough to overcome those concerns, it says: The practice of using this name for Trump apparently caught on last spring. New York Times reporter Jonathan Weisman wrote in May about the deluge of anti-Semitic hate he’d received from self-identified Trump supporters, including “Nazi iconography of the shiftless, hooknosed Jew” from a user called “Trump God Emperor.”[8] ZN3ukct (talk) 05:24, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Re: your revert and my explanation
[edit]Hi there, I see you reverted my edit with reason "with respect, you shouldn't revert talk page comments, even though I disagree with them too". I can say it wasn't because I would disagree with that 85.76-something/IPv6-editor. It is because that user behind all those changing IP-addresses is User 'WPK', who according to user page on fi-wiki says "made first edit on 17 June 2008 at 19.24 and last edit on 31 December 2010 at 1.59.". But since user ever registered to fi-wiki, it's been constant block evasion when account 'WPK' has been blocked. I can say that's why I say it's WP:LTA and user has been editing the same articles all the years and using same "arguments" and that's why I wrote "rv, this can't be anything else than trolling anymore". Just trying to give you simply explanation of the situation. :) Best regards, --80.220.226.181 (talk) 05:38, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your explanation. I encountered them yesterday on the Taiwanese articles, but I did not realize it is a long-term problem. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:57, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Athomeinkobe, Thanks to welcome message, I have seen reverted my edit at Arya (actor) with the reason of the addition of italics was unnecessary. This one I agree, i.e., The company's website link mentioned. but I don't agree that I did not add any additional italics unnecessary. Here an italics need for "Pothys" brand. Please let me guide if any wrong edits. Regards, user:Ganapathy.rangappa
- Ganapathy.rangappa, can you please explain why you think italics are necessary? According to the Manual of Style, italics would not normally be used for the name of a brand. Just a capital "P" is sufficient. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:37, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Yes, You are right. According to the manual of style, italics would not normally be used for the name of the brand. But here thing is the name of the source. Thanks and Regards, user:Ganapathy.rangappa —Preceding undated comment added 08:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

TFA
[edit]Okay, I've got a little more time now if you wanted to chat about your suggestions at TFA. Btw, my partner just came back from a trip to Japan ... I think the closest he got to you was Osaka. - Dank (push to talk) 23:29, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message Dank. Osaka is very close actually, less than half an hour by the rapid commuter train. It's a shame he couldn't drop over and visit Kobe for a day. It is quite different to Osaka despite being so close.
- As for TFA, I think it would be difficult to incorporate any sort of firm rule stating "the date must be referred to in this manner", because the prose used in the blurbs varies quite widely depending on the topic. I also appreciate the opposition to mentioning the word "today", as the time difference will surely confuse some people. So I guess the only practical solution is to have more people reading the blurbs and making suggested changes in advance of the item's appearance. Now that I know where the requests are made, I'll check it out once in a while.
- I see that the full list for this month's articles is at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 2016. That page doesn't have a talk page though, so is Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article the best place to point out any suggested changes? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Japan
[edit]Tom Waits has a marvelous song about being in Japan, or hit there. I am not 100% sure why you think a Hotel in Tasmania and 1942 'Japanese Scare' in Perth are worth editing, but I have changed parts as you have missed the point in one, but I am not sure about the other. Have a nice Monday JarrahTree 03:53, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- JarrahTree, thanks for your message. The 1942 article caught my attention because it was listed in the new articles at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Western Australia. As to why it was worth editing, the lack of punctuation and the one-sentence paragraphs were two reasons to do so. I'm not sure which "point" I was supposed to have missed, but I see you have self-reverted, so it is back to the last version I edited. The Tasmanian one had an empty infobox, so I can't see the point of it taking up space there. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:19, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply, I am of the general practice of not expecting edits until things have developed further. But you can never tell. The Japanese scare article is intriguing as I have spent hours poring over the files at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and National Archives in Perth at a large amount of primary sources as to what the authorities got up to in response to the Broome bombings - a complicated and much longer article will eventually evolve - it all started with the fremantle submarine base article which is still a mere pimple on a much larger possible article. Queenstown hotel - I used to live there and most annoyed cannot find an easy item from commons for usage in the info box. The point of the box was I was sure there was an appropriate image for usage in it - but elusive so far. cheers JarrahTree 04:32, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Please explain.Xx236 (talk) 07:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- Xx236, it was tagged as "nonsense" by Darreg, which was clearly incorrect. As the criteria of WP:G1 says, "In short, if you can understand it, G1 does not apply." I have explained this to the original reviewer at User talk:Darreg#Speedy deletion tagging. It was not difficult to figure out that it is about a character from the movie All the Best: Fun Begins. It could be redirected to the film's article, but I want to give Darreg a second chance to review the article before redirecting it myself. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:54, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
People from Tokyo
[edit]Hi, the list is incomplete, but i can finish it. It is not a random list, the people are taken from dewiki and then only the people who have an article in enwiki. Imho every town should have : 'Sons and daughters of the town'. I can make the list as a link, so it takes up no space.Regards--Buchbibliothek (talk) 07:10, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message Buchbibliothek. When I say it is random, I mean that there is no obvious reason why those 27 people are listed from the thousands of people listed at Category:People from Tokyo and the subcategories. For example, the three sportspeople listed are known for skating, aikido and boxing, but nobody from Japan's three main sports of baseball, sumo and soccer. There are 373 actors listed at Category:Actors from Tokyo, so why are Olivia de Havilland (left Tokyo when she was 2 years old), Samaire Armstrong (left when she was 5 years old), and a porn actress the only ones listed? Perhaps it is just coincidence, but it seems that many of the people listed left Tokyo before they were old enough to remember the place; Nikka Costa and Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi fall into that group too.
- A separate list like List of people from New York City would be a better option. By the way, when you mention the dewiki, are you talking about the list at ? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:45, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- You are right. Yes I used the list de:Liste der Persönlichkeiten der Präfektur Tokio. But my work adding sons and daughters to smaller towns in Germany, Austria etc. can not be compared to big towns like Tokyo. In my work I use the people from dewiki, put them into Google translator, make corrections, and put them to enwiki, most of them become red. Sometimes only 10-20% become blue.Regards--Buchbibliothek (talk) 07:57, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- That sounds like the best way to do it for Austrian or German towns, but I think it will be much more difficult for a non-German place. In this case, the enwiki categories give he best source of information. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 08:12, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Concerning the Udon
[edit]Thank you for you edit. Actually to be consistent with other articles of this type (like Soba, Spaghetti, etc.), I thought it is better to talk only about the ingredients of the Udon itself. Adding the ingredients of the Udon Soup can be confusing, as the article is about Udon. Different type of Udon dishes are described in the article, one of them is the Udon soup. But there is other dishes with Udon but without Udon Soup, like Yaki Udon. Maybe we can create another page for Udon Soup?
I am working on a research project on DBpedia (Wikipedias Open Linked data). And in order for DBpedia to be usable, it is necessary to have standardized and consistent information in the infobox. ==

Fiona Graham
[edit]I can explain you why... first editing the inaccurate information and second deleting information which is misleading and also inaccurate. There is more in the article which is pointing out facts which are altered to incorrect statements. But as long as the changes are not being considered and continually being reverted there is no really point in making any other changes. Can someone explain me what is the main reason for not allowing me to correct the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by K.Seek (talk • contribs) 21:34, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry K.Seek, that is not really an explanation. You did not "edit" or "correct" anything, you just wiped the whole section clear. As long as you try to blank the slate, it will be put back in exactly the same condition. There is nothing for anyone to consider because you are removing everything. If you are willing to explain exactly what parts you think are inaccurate and misleading, then they can be fixed. Doing so at Talk:Fiona Graham would be better than here. But as a piece of advice, you need to provide more information than just a claim of "it is misleading". Plus you'll need some sources to back up your statements.

- No worries, thanks for the explanation. I was about to ask you about it actually. I know there are various opinions about infoboxes and I don't want to get into an argument about one. But in the case of short articles like this I can't see the point in adding 3k to the file size when the reader gets nothing for the trouble of downloading it. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:50, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- This is mindblowing-I'd never heard "downloading" for reading an article. I'm not a tech guy, are we actually downloading it somehow? I never knew that (but my expertise is Kindergarten-crayons, scissors and "Nene did it!" That would make a difference!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:29, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, so every time someone accesses an article, they need to download the article's data via their server, whether it be on a mobile phone or computer modem. Adding stuff like an infobox increases the amount of data that needs to be received. For people who have a limit on how much they can download in a month, this increases their burden with no benefit to them. Sure it is a small amount, but it all adds up. I am not a tech expert either, but I think all of the empty fields in the infobox would also add to the amount downloaded, even though nothing is displayed. I'll try to find out for sure whether that is the case. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:27, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- P.S. The relevant guidance says that the markup is sometimes downloaded even if nothing is displayed. So even if the infobox is kept, some of those fields which will never be used should be removed. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:33, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay, here's the formal stuff:
Ritchie333 would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Ritchie333 to accept or decline the nomination. A page will then be created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Athomeinkobe. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. |
As Samtar says, you need to answer the three standard questions, and hopefully you'll have some idea of what to say if you're seriously considering an RfA. What I would recommend is to EMAIL both of us with your answers first, we can review them, then once we're happy, you can add them. There's no deadline for any of this; the RfA will remain in "draft" state until a) you formally accept it (it should be obvious where) and b) somebody transcludes it on the main page (I'd recommend the nominator does this simply because it's easy to get wrong and people won't oppose you if somebody else messes the transclusion up). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:31, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Ritchie. It's just about time for me to turn in for the evening, so I will have a read with a fresh pair of eyes in the morning. Thank you both for going to this trouble. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 13:29, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- That sounds good. The only other thing to add is I assume you have read Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates already, but it's worth reading it again now before you answer the three questions, just to make absolutely sure you really want to give RfA a go.

favor?
[edit]If/when you have time, the Akira Watanabe (Scouting) article is plain, but there is more stuff in the Japanese article. Can you bring it over, but not in list form? Thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:47, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Kintetsubuffalo, the Japanese article is entirely unsourced, so I am not keen on adding it to the English article. But I'll add some notes to the talk page, which might give you some help with finding some sources. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 03:02, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! Another weird one, if you can just point me, I will figure it out. I am drafting one for the Golden Pheasant award, top award for Japanese Scouters. The Scout assoc is notorious for not making anything easy to find, nor in English. I've tried many permutations of 黄金のきじ章, and keep coming up with either sukebe manga or pics of Scouts in normal activities. I need a picture or photo of the thing, and hopefully but not likely a list of people who have earned the thing. Help?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 06:09, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- I got a list, (in Japanese, of course; now I will play with it) just kicked the tired on Golden Pheasant Award--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:32, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for not getting back to you sooner Kintetsubuffalo. It looks like you've got that under control now. Or do you still need help with it? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:35, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for your email Samtar. Sorry for dropping off the radar suddenly, a couple of unexpected things have kept my hands tied. I have done my reading homework and I will email my draft answers to both you and Ritchie333 over the weekend. There are some housekeeping matters I should take care of also, like removing the Japanese characters from my username. But don't worry, I haven't gotten cold feet. :) AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:33, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Ritchie333, Samtar, I have sent an email to each of you. I have a few questions about that and other points, but I'd like to hear your comments on that first. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 23:52, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, how are things? I've reviewed your questions and provided you're happy with them I can complete the RfA and we'll be off and running. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:17, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
My article
[edit]Hey man. I just created that article and was doing research on when I got a notification saying that you deleted it. So please tell me before you delete an article so I have a heads up about it so I can get my stuff together and work on it.
Thx, JustAGuyOnWikipedia JustAGuyOnWikipedia (talk) 00:51, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- JustAGuyOnWikipedia, when I looked at the article and your talk page I saw the following timeline (1) the article had been nominated for deletion about five hours earlier (2) it had been deleted about two hours after that (3) you restarted the article with one basic sentence about 30 minutes before I looked at it (4) you had not touched it again after starting it. In that situation, it is difficult for me to say whether you intend to add any more information. The fact that it had already been deleted once was not a good sign.
- By the way, I am not the one who deleted the article, I just placed the request and gave you the heads up by placing a notice on your talk page. When an admin actually deletes is luck of the draw - sometimes a nominated article can sit for a day without an admin touching it. In this case it was deleted 10 minutes later.
- My advice is to work in the draft space, i.e. Draft:1610-AM WPFP 929. The general policy is an article can sit there untouched for up to 6 months without getting deleted. The other option is your sandbox User:JustAGuyOnWikipedia/sandbox or anywhere else in your user space, e.g. User:JustAGuyOnWikipedia/1610-AM WPFP 929. Work in progress there is also safe from deletion.
- Having main space articles repeatedly deleted puts the title at risk of being "salted", see here. So working in the draft or user space is highly recommended. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:10, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
DYK for Wes McCauley
[edit]On 2 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wes McCauley, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Wes McCauley has refereed the Stanley Cup Finals for the last four years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wes McCauley. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Wes McCauley), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
