{{adminhelp}}{{help}}Can somebody take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_parental_abduction_in_Japan

Note to helpers: Please see this previous response.  Chzz  ►  21:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I've taken a look over the page and unfortunately it is not really suitable for Wikipedia. If I can direct you to a few resources that may help to explain some of the reasons for this:
  • WP:Neutral point of view - articles must not express an opinion or try to push forward an agenda.
  • WP:Conflict of interest - editors should avoid working on articles where there is a personal involvement, which can be a significant cause of articles becoming POV. Can I take it from your username that you are affiliated with the Japan Children's Rights Network?
  • WP:Original Research - Wikipedia should only contain published facts, not the arguments, speculation or ideas of the editor. This is achieved by referring to reliable, verifiable, third-party sources, which are cited in the article text.
There are other issues also, in regard to stylistic concerns, but I won't go into them as they are largely academic in light of the above. ∙ AJCham talk 22:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Use of your talk page

[edit]

Hi there, again. Just a few 'tips';

  • When you leave a message here, on your talk page, please make a new section at the end of the page.
  • Every time that you write a message, please "sign" your name by putting ~~~~ at the end of your message - this will add your username, and the date and time.
  • You do not need to remove things from this page (although you can if you want) - the page can grow, by having new sections added to it. So...I will re-add my 'welcome' below; if you don't want it, you can of course remove it again.
  • I noticed that you did connect (briefly) to the IRC online chat help system. Several helpers did read your message, but we didn't have the chance to respond before you disconnected. Please try it again some time, with this or this.

Best wishes,  Chzz  ►  21:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome and introduction

[edit]

Hi, Japanchildren. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  21:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!
