Problem with one of your students

I first want to thank you for working on Japanese theatre-related articles on Wikipedia with your students as part of Education Program:University of Washington/Asian 207 (Spring 2015). This is quite valuable. However, I feel I must report that one of your students, Pearltmiller (talk · contribs), is not following the rules on Wikipedia. On the article Kaoru Morimoto, the student has repeatedly inserted an image of the 1949 film Onna no isshō, directed by Fumio Kamei [1], even though I have repeatedly warned the student both in edit summaries and posts on the student's talk page, that the film, while having the same title as Morimoto's play, is unrelated to Morimoto and thus does not belong on that page. (See also this database entry: [2]). While I am sure it must be difficult to manage 19 students working on Wikipedia, I hope you can tell this student to stop. If the student does not stop, I will report the student to ANI and request a block. Michitaro (talk) 23:47, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have contacted the student and will check back later to make sure it is resolved. All the students in the class are first-time Wikipedia editors, so it's taking some time for them to get used to everything. I appreciate your feedback. I hope the class will ultimately make a strong contribution to Wikipedia.Kisobushi (talk) 00:05, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick response. I definitely look forward to the contributions of the project (in the past I have worked on some of the articles you are working on, even starting the Kaoru Osanai article), and do think this can be an educational experience for students. I hope they can also learn about the rules of such online projects and issues about using sources. Best wishes: Michitaro (talk) 02:13, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the encouragement! I hope we will have some good new pages developed within the next few weeks to really expand the presence of Japanese theatre on Wikipedia. Kisobushi (talk) 02:59, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
