    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright

If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Help me!

Please help me with... I want to translate articles from Japanese to English. I tried doing it with the Special Content Translation feature but it says I can't because I'm too new to Wikipedia. How can I build up the experience requirements to be able to start adding the English translations?

Thank you. Sayjay1995 (talk) 02:06, 19 May 2022 (UTC)SayjayReply

You can make translations the old-fashioned way. Open a user-space draft and translate away. Include an attribution back to the original article. You may find that ja-wiki articles need additional references to meet en-wiki standards, and it would be nice if you provided English translations of at least the titles of sources that are in Japanese using the trans-title= parameter. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your feedback. Does that mean the Japanese version of the page also needs to be merged into the regular Karuta page as well?

Proposed deletion of Konnyaku Park

edit
 

The article Konnyaku Park has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, could you clarify which portions were considered promotional? It follows the Japanese page's original text and merely outlines what activities there are to do on-site. How could it be edited to make read more neutral? Thank you. Sayjay1995 (talk) 01:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
