Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Culture of Japan, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
- Hi. My small changes were constructive. By the way, most of what you guys wrote remains unreferenced. LeeCorrie (talk) 19:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry that I took your good faith edits as vandalism. But both edits were unnecessary. As for your edit is, as far as I know, something unproven. Please use the article's talk page when you have questions. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 05:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you ODa Mari, I truly appreciate your good faith comments. And no, I would never engage myself in vandalism. What I think we should do is provide more sources to our Japanese related articles. For example, take a look at this article: Japanese Culture - we need to provide more sources there. Here is an example, quote: "The flowing, brush-drawn Japanese language lends itself to complicated calligraphy. Calligraphic art is often too esoteric for Western audiences and therefore general exposure is very limited. However in East Asian countries, the rendering of text itself is seen as a traditional artform as well as a means of conveying written information." Now, where is the source of this information? We need to do a better job and we can. Japanese culture is beautiful, and we do have plenty of sources; we just need to take more active role on improving and enriching our articles.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:17, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
