Interwiki's Template:Template_doc_page_transcluded

Hi! re: This edit and especially this one.

Please make sure I didn't swap interwiki terms or otherwise mess up the interwiki's in that page and it's /doc page. I suspect they are identical (my fonts don't support, so I'm just seeing square boxes-- so called [unicode]] garbage characters.

The latter, should also have it's own interwiki translation I would guess, inside an noinclude-/noinclude pair block. (I just made that in the second change/link given above) as these pages will be seen as a precedent and example to many. So if you'd be so kind, please check which translation is getting applied to which page, and correct as needed. Thanks. // FrankB 23:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Please understand this time of an I reply is inconvenient now by 19:40 in Japan Standard Time. I cannot understand all your saying. Does it mean that you want unicode to rewrite inter-language? --saburny 10:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:Country data Japan

You are changing name of alias which is used by over a hundred other articles. Your one change in this particular template changes many other articles. Please stop editing it because your current changes generate errors in other articles and can be considered as vandalism, not corrections.

Remember that name of alias is meaningless, much more important is displaying correct flag. If alias ww2 displays correct flag, leave it untouched.

If you really want to change name of that alias to military do following:

1. Create this alias as additional one.
2. Change ww2 to military in all articles using old alias name.
3. Only when all articles will be using military alias, you'll can remove old ww2 alias, not earlier.

Flag templates

We are using special flag templates, not hardcoded images. If you don't know how to use flag templates, please learn more before you edit anything. Your current reverts can be considered as vandalism. Piotr Mikołajski 18:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

• There is not the fact that Japan made the Kyokujitsuki a national flag[1]. At first you should post the source of information.--saburny 02:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

• • Let's try again - for placing flags inside articles we are using templates {{}}, not hardcoded images [[]]. If you don't know how to use templates, you shouldn't edit articles. Your last revert on Mitsubishi J2M article is vandalism and if you do that once again I'll have to inform administrators about it. Piotr Mikołajski 07:49, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
    • First off, despite Piotrs comments above, it does not appear to be vandalism, however ill advised. If you choose to engage in edit wars over this, you will most likley be blocked for violations of the three revert rule. It is my personal opinion that the templates are a better idea and I support using the flag template vs an image link. Please discuss any issues you have and try not to start an edit war. Thanks. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:28, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Again, I kindly ask you that you do not start edit wars by re-adding stuff that is not in accordance with WIki project aircraft's manual of style. The flag template is the common template now for such uses. If you believe there to be a better reason to revert to the old style, please feel free to discuss it at the projects talk page or on the talk page of a specific article. Your continuous re-adding of the old style flags is becoming disruptive. If you continue, you may be temporarily blocked. While your work on this project is appreciated, please make sure that there is a consensus to make controversial contribution. Thanks. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 11:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

• A style manual of WikiProject is recommended, and is it an absolute? In the first place the aircraft became a stage, and there is a root of a problem to a template. A page of a Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan or a page of a Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template is suitable if I submit the agenda of this problem. --saburny 14:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not remove content from templates such as you did here, especialyl in situations where your removals have been reverted by multiple members of the community. If you believe the content should still be removed, please discuss it instead of engaging in edit warring. Again, to reitterate what I stated above, your current edits show a pattern of disruptive editing. Please be more careful in the future or you may end up temporarily blocked. Thanks! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 12:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

• I ask for proper warning. It is clear which there is legitimacy in.--saburny 14:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Kyokujitsu-ki

Hello Saburny, I thought you might be interested to see that User:Piotr Mikołajski is starting an edit war to put the Kyokujitsu-ki on pages like Nakajima G8N and Mitsubishi G4M. Take a look and see what you think. Maybe you could explain this to him, I haven't had much luck. Best regards. M Van Houten 19:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I seems he was overpowered since I can't spot the flag on that page! ^^ Now, I'd like to add that I have successfully migrated the misnamed {{flag|Japan|ww2}} to a more correct {{flag|Japan|naval}} and made sure that it is only used in the context of the Japanese Navy (Imperial or Self-Defence) all over the project. Cheers, Himasaram 02:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
