Repost of Hiroyuki Tsuchida

edit

  A tag has been placed on Hiroyuki Tsuchida requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this:   which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 00:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

WP:BLP

edit

Please notice that your recent edits to the Entertainment Reference Desk have been found in violation of the Wikipedia policy on the biographies of living persons and removed from the edit history by wikipedia administration for that reason. Please read the helpful warning below with a link to our policy and take it seriously. μηδείς (talk) 03:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

BLP Warning

edit

  This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. μηδείς (talk) 03:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

explanation

edit

I am not an admin, so I do not make threats--I will not block you myself. But you have to understand that in regard to statements about living people--who deserve to be treated no worse than our friends or relatives, or strangers on the street for that matter--the same very high standards apply on any wikipedia page, whether it's an article or a talk page or the ref desk or wherever. I assume you do understand that what you did was found problematic enough by a neutral admin when it was reported that they erased its history from that page. So my pointing you to the warning is for your own benefit, assuming you don't want to face a block for a similar issue in the future. I realize the red warning sign looks very hostile, but the point is only to draw your attention to a serious matter. I have no desire to get you in trouble. If you have any questions feel free to ask me, or a neutral admin.  :) μηδείς (talk) 13:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

About Hiroyuki Tsuchida.

edit

Hi, Thank you for writing a comment on my talk page. In their words, as a result of a search in Japanese, I was able to find the article it seems. However it might be someone else with the same name. The following topics: What mother was murdered in 2003, does that Hiroyuki Tsuchida (土田博行, Tsuchida Hiroyuki)? In Yamagata Prefecture of Japan, or killing a cat, after killing his mother, then he and several books comics computers were seized by the police. And then, to move in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Gunma Prefecture and Niigata, Japan, he had been arrested in Nagano Prefecture? If the material if you ask if it's, you have the appropriate article below.

Will you be helpful? If we unlike the article you are looking for, sorry. I wish to become a quality article. --御門桜(MIKADO, Sakura) (talk) 14:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

More Infomation

edit

I found more infomation. It is the Japanese version of the search results in Google. According to the results, the trial begun, You seem to have recognized the fact that prosecution. The article has been addicted to Japanese anime called "Neon Genesis Evangelion" He had such a quote will be scattered. Anyway, FYI. --御門桜(MIKADO, Sakura) (talk) 15:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Northern Mali conflict

edit

If you read the ref-article on Canada, you'll find that: "Canadian military special forces are in Mali protecting Canada’s embassy, Postmedia News has learned.The specially-trained soldiers are not in the West African country to participate in any direct combat action, nor will they provide training to the Malian troops, sources said Monday."

Thus the only contribution is a transport plane.--Hisredrighthand (talk) 02:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Senkaku Islands dispute

edit

War seems unlikely, to me. Probably China won't attack. If they did, I doubt if either Japan or the US would fight back militarily, instead placing embargoes on Chinese goods. I imagine the EU and many other nations would join in. Since the Chinese economy is completely dependent on exports, they would relent eventually and return the islands to Japan. In the meantime, much of the rest of East Asia would have booming economies, as cheap goods now made in China would instead be made in Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, etc. StuRat (talk) 23:07, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Incidentally, there is a precedent for this. Prior to WW2, Japan was invading and annexing Asian lands right and left (see Rape of Nanking, for example). This led to the US and many other nations placing a crippling embargo on Japan. Japan would have been forced to relent, and return those lands. The only other option was to declare war on a good portion of the world, a war they were certain to lose, based on relative industrial capacities, etc. While Japan made the irrational choice for war, the rulers in China seem far more rational than the generals running Japan at the time were, and the Chinese can't rely on Hitler distracting the world from Asia, either.

Replaceable fair use File:Hikikomori.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Hikikomori.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:44, 3 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Hikikomori.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Hikikomori.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:34, 4 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Michigan...

edit

...is not a city, it's a state, a very wide state at that. WHERE IN MICHIGAN is your departure point? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots22:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Then you need to modify the question to clarify it. You've caused a debate about your actions. You need to fix that problem. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots22:06, 11 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
You need to go to Wikipedia talk:Reference desk and explain things. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots22:07, 11 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for finally clarifying. In future, please don't make any assumptions. I took your comment to mean Michigan to Los Angeles, but since the first entity is a state, it started a debate, because LA also means "Louisiana". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots22:51, 11 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ref desk

How about you slow down on this, particularly questions that Google Maps can answer instantly. You're starting to seem as though you might be trolling. Shadowjams (talk) 05:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

What happened to this idea? Your questions appear to still mostly be of the variety that could easily be searched for on your own or just still asking for opinions. --OnoremDil 05:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

ITN

edit

Hi, Kotjap. You have made two recent nominations to In The News which, besides the opposition they met (keep trying--people will support a good nomination) also had procedural issues. Namely, you marked both nominations as "updated" when neither article met the updating criteria. Please see Wikipedia:In the news and specifically the Update and Death sections for the requisite information. Read the entire page in order to familiarize yourself with the other criteria. One helpful hint: executed criminals are never going to be listed unless there is some other major notability issue, as with the death of Saddam Hussein. μηδείς (talk) 20:37, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Understood, thank you. Kotjap (talk) 12:45, 23 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
Since you immediately went and did this again I have started a public discussion here. μηδείς (talk) 18:27, 23 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Maybe you would like to respond to Shadowjams and IP98's further comments here? How do you suggest we address these issues? Are you familiar with WP:ANI? That's where we would go for you to complain if you think I am picking on you. Apologizing repeatedly, asking if people forgive you, creating new threads expressing the importance of honor, and then discussing suicide in the context of honor strikes me a very dishonorable. Honor is being honest and keeping your word, not apologizing and reverting to the behavior for which you have apologized and then brining up the topic of suicide. That sort of talk gets a reference to the wikpedia board for emergency action. We can help you if you need it. Otherwise, please respond at the existing discussion and explain how we can put an end to the problem behaviors. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 04:03, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
