Orphaned non-free media

Thanks for uploading File:Weekly Young Sunday 2006 no.36-37 cover.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 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. Werieth (talk) 14:32, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Japanese video games

The debate over whether or not to include hepburn is being rehashed since someone discovered a trademarked title was different than a literal translation and things went off on a tangent.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Kinema Junpo 1166.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Kinema Junpo 1166.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tatewaki (talk) 04:02, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

There was no concern for the rationale as it was perfectly acceptable. However, I've cut right to the chase and replaced the usage in the article with the new one you uploaded and deleted this file. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:45, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

I am sorry if I sounded blaming (I am sure previous image was uploaded with good intention and was rationalized to the best of knowledge at that time) and thank you for fast action. However, I also have to mention that, as much as I remember, "available" in Wikipedia rules does not mean only "being available online or directly where FU image uploader lives", and it's very reasonable to assume that early numbers on Kinejun are and were available at least in some public libraries of Japan (so users from Japan could copy/scan them; even aside of them - e.g. University of Wisconsin in US seems to have No.62 and 77 - with 3 issues per month both should be of year 1921, thus also long in PD).Tatewaki (talk) 16:51, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

That may be, but if no one who knows that makes one available, then it's perfectly acceptable to use a non-free image until then. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:54, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Jacqueline Lovell

Why did you delete the Wikipedia page 'Jacqueline Lovell' on Oct 31, 2006? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.0.99 (talk) 23:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Because it met "Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person that [did] not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject." It was tagged for speedy deletion. Why does it matter 7 years later? If you have reliable sources supporting creation of a new version of the article, feel free to do so. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Username: Cyrinus

Sock Puppetry is not true. It is a typical harassment from a user who was upset because I challenged the VAS definition page he created. Any community member from my vibroacoustic therapy can come and post and show their support - because wiki admins and editiors irritated our members and our profession (by name calling (oxymoronic, troll, snake oil, spammer etc) and constantly deleted my article even after I posted it with many references/sources). See the list of references and sources provided on my user talk page. I only have a single account on my name - I cannot answer for others posting or supporting me. Many vibroacoustic therapists will support their profession and contribute to the article with references - case studies etc. That is not meta puppetry. Cyrinus (talk) 20:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I am not the one you need to convince as I have nothing to do with that investigation. Please make any arguments on the case page (I already sent you the link, and you already posted there, too). Also, your actions here are unlikely to help your case.

An important message about renaming users

Dear Nihonjoe,

I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Agnes Lum.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Agnes Lum.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shizhao (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

History of manga article

In January 2008 you seriously enriched this article by a lots of information (as i presume) and i found mentioning of some Tezuka's manga called "New world" in "After World War II" section. What is this manga? I've tried searching for it but it seems that this name doesn't exist. There are "New Treasure Island" and "Nextworld" which are present on his list of works at Wikipedia. Is this a mistake? Or you know something that i don't? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.86.80.204 (talk) 10:17, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
