Naerhu

Welcome from EWS23

Hello Naerhu! My name is Eric, and it is my pleasure to be the first to welcome you to Wikipedia! I hope you will decide to stay a long time and help us continue to make this one of the greatest sites on the world wide web. Here are a few useful links for you to explore:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

In addition to that great wealth of knowledge, let me offer you this advice: do what you enjoy! If you enjoy contributing to sports articles, do so! If you like to correct typoes (...), write new articles, find better ways to organize articles, make useful templates, work on projects with others, or even welcome new members, do so! A happy member of our community is a productive member of our community. You can read all of the above links to the last word, or you can jump right into editing. Be bold!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have the need to sign a page without the time and date, you can use three tildes (~~~). If you have any questions that aren't easily found with the above links, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia and enjoy!

Beer drinking in Japan

There are only 2 people in both categories beer drinkers and wikipedians in Japan? I'm shocked, given the number of expats I know messing around on wikipedia and who are also borderline alcoholics. I haven't heard of beer advocate.com, but I'm checking it out now... Nobunaga24 05:21, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Islam in Japan

Interesting. I had been reading about that very subject a few months ago. Let me see if I can locate the sources I was reading, and I'll get back to you with some URL's and book titles. I was actually doing it as part of a bunkasai at my school. Nobunaga24 07:56, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

An Invitation

Hello Naerhu,

Here's an invitation to visit Wikipedia:Japan-related topics notice board. There, you can meet other Wikipedians working on articles related to Japan. You'll find lists of new articles, projects, and resources such as

Hi

Thanks for the sentiment, but I'd rather reserve my ability to boundlessly flare tempers free of real-life concenquences!  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  00:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Re:Adding new articles

Thanks for your message. You should be able to create an article at any valid name. However, it appears we already have an article on Saison. As for other articles where it doesn't immediately give you the "edit page" when you search, what you need to do is look at the very top left corner of the page where it says, "You searched for "Saison" ". If you click that link, it should either take you to the page or take you to the creation page. Let me know if this doesn't work for you. Thanks again for your message, and always feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 17:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

On further review, it looks like YOU were the one who created the Saison article, so it appears you found out how to do it without my assistance. Anyway, always feel free to message me about anything and I'll help you in any way I can. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 17:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Torulaspora delbrueckii

I am learning that I need to put in information when I edit, move, merge and create articles. So when someone like yourself asks a question I can give a sensible and informed answer. I can't remember the formation of the article in question. Whatever you do with Torulaspora delbrueckii is fine by me. Cheers! SilkTork 08:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

RateBeer / BeerAdvocate

You know, of course, that the two sites are sworn enemies. Theoretically we shouldn't even be speaking to each other, unless it's to hurl insults! I made a small alteration to the Saison piece (which is a great article - I'm pleased there is someone else on the site who doesn't just have an enthusiasm for beer, but a knowledge of beer, and an ability to write clearly). Saison is not really a style in itself - it's more of a name for beer from the region. Saisons belong to the Pale Ale style - along with Bitter and American Pale Ale. Everyone who has done a little research into Saisons comes up with the same conclusion - the beer has no stylistic certainities and Saisons are more unlike each other than they are like other Pale Ales. Anyway - great to hear from you. Let's keep in touch. Cheers! SilkTork 12:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

"Everyone." Yes - ouch! Sweeping word. Usually used to bully and badger people into acceptance. What I should have done was use the names of a couple of people, such as Joris Pattyn, Phil Markowski, Tomme Arthur, etc. People who have recently researched and written good books on Saisons. SilkTork 08:07, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, at least my name isnt Joris. :) Naerhu 08:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Roman Emperor Diocletian to help defeat the Blemmys

Hey, Hi, How are you? I am writing for you advice regarding the Nobatia page. It says, "Roman Emperor Diocletian to help defeat the Blemmys" But the Blemmys are mythical according to wikipedia. Can you help? Naerhu 07:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Apologies for the delayed reply. As a matter of historical fact, this is obvious nonsense. But I have no qualms with it long as it is clearly labelled as myth and does not get into any serious articles or sections concerned with historical facts. In fact, I wouldnt mind too much if it were mentioned in Diocletian in fiction. Though I'm not going to add it. I've never heard/read this story before, so I'm unsure as to its source...And even myths and legends should be, if possible, traced to their sources. Thank you for bringing this interesting matter to my attention. Cheers, --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 23:14, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Beer cats question

Hi again Naerhu. It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson and supported by User:Syrthiss that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. This proposal has been supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". Te word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Virus article

Could you please use the information on this Japanese-language page to update the English Virus article? It would be much appreciated! --AlanH 01:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• • Um . . . What particularly about the English article needs updating? I know nothing of viruses.

Sake

My name is Simon. I did a little work on Sake most of it anonimus. This because I work on the Dutch site about Sake and Sake already keeps me bussy. You have added a lot of good information about Sake to the site but now I see that Sake is related to beer brewing? Can you look at the article again please. I don´t have time for Sake to check the English version about Sake and the Dutch. If not I will also look after the english site. Just let me now. Best regards Sake-simon 02:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC) Check also my site at http://www.sake.nl/

Request to you

Hello, Mr. Naerhu. My name is Hatto. I live in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Please answer to me in Japanese language if you can write Japanese character by using your computer because it's easy for me to speak Japanese and I'm not good at English. I have a request to you. Its request is article's expansion and changing it to clean English! I'd like you to expand unfinished parts into complete article and make it clean because "rough translation" tag is inserted in the article. Maybe, it's so bad English because some sentences are translated and added from references by myself. I tell you the article I request if you are interested in this request. Please answer. --Hatto 07:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope the article no longer says, people are owned by corporations! Garrie 21:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Category Osaka

Hey, just thought I'd point you in the direction of a new category I created: Category:Wikipedians in Osaka. Figured there might be enough Wikipedians living in Osaka to make it worthwhile. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 03:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Vegan in Japan

You're a vegan in Japan? You must spend most of your time really hungry. Naerhu 07:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Tell me about it. Eating in restaurants is a fairly tricky thing to do, especially considering that I can't speak or read Japanese. :P On the up side, it means I've learned how to cook most of the cuisine on my own. Inarizushi? Yes please! --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 13:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Translation requested

Hi, I've come into possession of a very old katana. I've noticed you have marked yourself as a native speaker of Japanese... is there any chance you could help me translate the writing on the tang? Thanks, ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Heya

I here you saw sasha grey's real name. Was it Greek? Reaper7 (talk) 22:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, I saw a name that was published in several places that was allegedly hers. I dont remember if the name was Greek or not. Though, I wouldn't be able to turn her down, if she offered me some Greek.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:45, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Naerhu,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 20:01, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
