Hey taku Just a small q.. Is Zipang really an archaic name of Japan? A one sentence article keeps me wondering the accuracy of its content. -- Kt2 03:16 May 3, 2003
- Actually, yes it is though I am not sure if it is a Portoguees or not. I think I heard Zipang was introduced by Macro Polo's book. Anyway, we have got to merge it to some probably Japan article since we don't want to wikipedia as a dictionary. -- Taku 03:26 May 3, 2003 (UTC)
Taku, just wanted to know if I can delete the Image:Akashi_bridge.jpg image as I uploaded Image:Akashi-kaikyo_bridge_night_shot_small.jpg which is used in the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge article.
cheers, --synthetik 14:06 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
- I think you have to ask sysops if you want to delete images once uploaded. But I don't think we have to worry much about deleting images because their existence hurts nothing. We have to delete images only if they are significantly violating copyrights. Otherwise, simply removing links to such images is a good enough I think. -- Taku 23:23 May 5, 2003 (UTC)
re: colored text rendering badly
Sorry about that. Out of interest what browser are you using? -- mib 01:10 May 6, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Taku, I've altered your amendment to Automatic teller machine as I'm afraid you were caught out by a homonym -- it's called a cash dispenser not a cache dispenser. I also reverted the equivalent entry on the CD disambiguation page as I've never heard of that abbreviation being used for an ATM. -- Arwel 02:49 May 7, 2003 (UTC)
- Yeah, I wonder what is a cache dispenser, some kind of device used on the computer? Anyway, I sometimes heard a CD for Cach dispenser, at least in Japan. -- Taku
- I can't think why anyone would want to dispense bits of a cache in a computer :) -- Arwel
Takuya I'm glad you are looking at some of the legal articles. You questions and input are useful, especially the Japanese examples. Alex756
- You mean my addition in public corporation? Thank you. I should be able to at least add cases in Japan. -- Taku 03:58 May 7, 2003 (UTC)
Also your questioning of why the articles are structured the way they are. It is difficult to determine what the basic categories in the legal area are, as the concepts are all interconnected and the terminology may not be understood by those without much knowledge of legal systems such as in real estate, personal property and real property. Alex756 22:56 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
- No the question is why we have to structure articles in the way laws are structured. I will put more my idea to talkpage of personal property article. See and give me comments if you still think it's worth to debate with some guy who has little knowledge. If you think you don't want to waste time teaching those like me. It's fine. Let me know I can contribute other areas. (Please I don't mean sarcastic at all.) -- Taku 23:01 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
- I think in some cases the articles do not have to be just about laws and I think input from a layperson (without legal training) is good, after all this is supposed to be a readable project and us lawyer types get all caught up in the structure of law — in law school I spent half my time putting everything in outline form — otherwise you can't find what you need when you are trying to understand something. Actually I would have supposed someone from a civil law jurisdiction would understand this obsession with organisation of everything into categories and how those categories related because my civil law education was focused in that way.

Taku, what kind of browser are you using. Your browser seems to cut off content when used on large articles such as Japan. cheers, --synthetik 09:25 May 7, 2003 (UTC)
- Safari on MacOSX. The problem seems due to time-out rather than kind of broswer. Because sometimes my Inetnet connection gets slow as wikipedia is permanentally very slow, quite frequently I get time-out. Most of time, though, I can try again and succeed to submit my contribution but sometimes when the article is too long, it is quite challenging to me to submit changes succesfully. -- Taku 16:09 May 7, 2003 (UTC)
- I see. I get some timouts as well during the peak hours but I have yet to experience a cut off article. BTW, I use firebird aka phoenix. cheers, --synthetik 18:08 May 7, 2003 (UTC)
Hello Taku. Next time you object to something that I add to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, I suggest you do so by commenting, instead of deleting my request without comment. Otherwise I might get a bit pissed. I am referring to the stub-like and non-encyclopedic Kanji Reference:Index and related pages. If you wish to keep these so badly, at least do the work of getting them in proper wiki form -- remove the instances of CamelCase and combine them into a single article. --Eloquence 01:39 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
- I deleted not because I object but only because it is not fair. Really, no one should put a delete voting because he/she felt it doesn't deserve to here. Some articles obviously should be deleted such as newbee experiments, vandalism, or copyright violations. Kanji Reference, in turn, is controversial issue if you think it is obvious to be deleted. Besides, you didn't put any notice to the debate. You can expect everyone is watching Votes for deletion. Please please remeber the policy about deletion here. We have to delete stuff that is making a trouble not stuff that is useless. -- Taku 22:50 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
- Uhh, no, you should read our policies again. Pages should be listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion if they are useless, usually defined as, "extremely POV", "very bad form" (no wikification whatsoever etc.), "copyright infringement" or "less than a stub". The Kanji stuff is in bad form (CamelCase!) and has virtually no explanation text whatsoever. As such, it should be listed on Votes for deletetion, and removed -- or fixed. --Eloquence 23:34 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
- Ack! I think I was confused with our pocily about permanent deletion. Now I see your action was right. I will restore an entry if there is no such. -- Taku 04:20 May 12, 2003 (UTC)
District
If you translate gun as "district." What do you translate choume as? --Menchi 23:47 May 8, 2003 (UTC)
Why did you do this to the SETI article? --Eloquence 23:36 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
- I am sorry. I didn't know my submission has failed. I didn't get timeout time time but for some reason, the entire text is not transferred well. -- Taku 23:44 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
Just a beginner, Keizo here. I started an article on Yi Sun-shin I'm wondering what code you are using to write in kanji, hanja etc. Thanks. keizo 13:09 May 10, 2003 (UTC)
- You mean encoding code or something else? Since I am Japanese, I know only how to input Kanji. -- Taku 04:21 May 12, 2003 (UTC)
Can you post in Wikipedia talk:Brilliant prose to explain why you removed Prisoner's dilemma? thanks! Kingturtle 17:47 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
- Oh, oops. disregard what i just said. i thought you removed it, but you added it. good good. Kingturtle 17:52 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
Taku, before you go and change perfectly valid stuff in pages because it does not work in your browser consider checking it in another browser first. I just checked the <hr> tag you were changing in the Japan article with Konqueror and it seemed to display just fine (sorry I don't have MacOS but Konqi is using the same engine as Safari). cheers, --synthetik 18:01 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
Taku, I copyedited your Computer Go article. Sorry if I munged it, but I don't have a great understanding of the subject. But it reads much better now :-), though I am not sure if it is totally NPOV. :-S Anyway, just transfer the W5 you offered on the WikiMoney page to me when you get a chance. You might also want to remove the offer now that it has been taken care of. Thanks. :-) --Frecklefoot 19:41 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
Taku, are you sure a game of football is called camping? Or is playing a game of football called camping? I've never heard it referred to in this manner, and apparently neither have many other people. Does it possibly refer to European football? --Frecklefoot 18:23 16 May 2003 (UTC)
I *really* hate to say it, trust me. but: File:Last samurai 405x600.jpg has to be copyrighted... I've noticed your changes over time in computer science and japanese pages, very good!
anyway: Wikipedia:Boilerplate_request_for_permission should become your friend ;-)
