Welcome!
[edit]Hi, 海人, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}}
before the question.
However, there is a small issue with your username. As it is in a non-Latin alphabet script it may not display correctly for many other users. Although usernames like yours are not prohibited, Wikipedia's signature guideline and username policy encourage you, as a courtesy to other users, to alter your signature so that it also includes a transliteration of your username using Latin characters, so others can see it correctly. For the how-to of tailoring your username, please see WP:CUSTOMSIG.
Thanks, and feel free to message me about anything. DAJF (talk) 01:35, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Manual of style issues
[edit]Hi. Thanks for the work you have been doing to improve some of the Japanese station articles on this project. As you seem to be new to Wikipedia, you may not be aware that we have an established manual of style regarding the formatting of articles to ensure uniformity across the project. There are two main issues with your recent edits:
- The use of flag icons in infoboxes is normally strongly discouraged. (See: WP:INFOBOXFLAG)
- The use of link piping to avoid redirect pages is also strongly discouraged. (See: WP:NOPIPEDLINK)
- To summarize the second point:
[[West Japan Railway Company]]
[[JR West]]
[[West Japan Railway Company|JR West]]
If you plan to work on more station (or other) Wikipedia articles in the future, could I ask that you please read through the guidelines at the two links above first, to save yourself wasted effort changing parts that don't need changing, and which will just have to be cleaned up by other editors to restore compliance with the manual of style?
But thanks for your work in adding more detailed location maps to station articles. That is much appreciated. Feel free to drop me a line (here or on my Talk page) if you are still not entirely sure. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 08:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

The article Lukasz Czepiela has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hanyangprofessor2 (talk) 06:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
