There is a picture I wish to be taken for a popular article, so are you currently residing in Japan? « ₣M₣ » 21:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have posted and fixed the information about the details on my talk page. Let me know if you're able or unable to do this. « ₣M₣ » 18:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ha, that's why its difficult! Takadanobaba, Tokyo, Japan really is a big area isn't it? Certainly someone over there would know. This isn't to say I haven't tried to find the exact location, but there is only so much I can do in another country. I'm still searching... « ₣M₣ » 15:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi—I'm sure all the links you added recently to disambiguation pages, e.g., Black Sunday, were well-intentioned, but I'm afraid they need to be reverted. Typically, we encourage rich linking between articles, but disambiguation pages are not articles, they are navigation. The Manual of Style indicates that each entry in a disambiguation page should have only a single link, to the target page. The idea is that readers trying to find a particular Black Sunday, for instance, can quickly determine what article to jump to. If you can't revert the link additions, I'll get to it eventually. —johndburger 23:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ethnic categories

edit

Per WP:V, ethnic categories need to be sourced just like anything else. Showing that the person's parents (or whatever) belonged to a specific ethnicity is not enough. Hope that makes clear why I have been removing those which are unsourced. If you want to restore them, I need to see reliable sources relating to the subject themselves. See also WP:NOR. Best wishes, --John (talk) 16:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Brook Lee article

edit

Unfortunately, no, I don't. I just happened to come across the article and saw the reference needed fixing, though I didn't check the source itself. Acalamari 14:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Donkey Show (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Unsteady. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

"Global positioning system... system"?

edit

Hi. I just started a discussion at talk:global positioning system because one editor hasn't enough sense to realize that my having corrected the redundancy of "GPS system" to just "GPS" makes sense and why. So will you please go make a sensible contribution to that discussion and perhaps revert the reversion? Will you also please check my edit history for all other GPS-related articles and support my corrections there too? Thanks! Thayve Sintar (talk) 04:44, 5 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
