Removal of Japanese gairaigo list edits
Would you mind justifying the removal of my addition of "lot up" and Gymnophoria's addition of "one set" from the article, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.160.95.118 (talk) 05:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- As for your addition, it's not a standard noun. It's only a jargon used in eroge and not yet entered in Japanese dictionaries. This is inappropriate to add a word the majority of Japanese do not know. That's the reason I removed your addition. The list is incomplete and there should be a lot of more suitable words to add. Sorry, but no jargon please. As for the other editor's addition, I already explained about it on his/her talk page. Please do not restore your addition. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 09:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, the meaning of the word is inaccurate. It's not "sold out", but "end of life" Oda Mari (talk) 09:47, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Korean Nationalism (2002 World Cup)
Hi, I saw the reverts regarding the claims of cheating in the 2002 World Cup and noticed that the text you were inserting had no citations. I have changed your text a little and added two citations, so I hope this won't get reverted again, take a look and see what you think. カンチョーSennen Goroshi ! (talk) 07:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hi! Originally it was an IP's addition. I just restored it because of the unexplained removal. But thank you for finding and adding two citations. Happy editing! Oda Mari (talk) 15:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
A little question.
What is your opinion on this? Talk:Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki#Why_not_under_.22World_War_II_crimes.22_category.3F I have said that Japan officially regards the atomic bombings to be war crimes(decided as such by Ryuichi Shimoda v. The State). Thus, I have requested (and tried) to add the article to any kind of war crimes category. Unsurprisingly, I was met by resistance from others. Resistance consisting of mere personal disagreements. Not a single opposing source or reference was presented to me. Do you have any opinion to it? Perhaps any advice?--Raubfreundschaft (talk) 19:28, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Pardon me for sticking my nose in here-- this is the kind of subject I try to avoid like the plague, so I'm not going over to the "discussion". Let me just say, leaving a decision like this up to a "consensus" of a few anonymous editors is beyond absurd. Jimbo & whoever else should be in charge here really shirk their responsibility in areas like this. Editors should be editing, not making proclamations on history... Dekkappai (talk) 20:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I am notifying several users who have made contributions to the atomic bombings article at some point, in order to solve this issue(whether to add that the atomic bombings are officially considered a war crime in Japan or not) in a democratic fashion. Oda Mari is not the only one whom I have asked. You are correct, on the current small scale of the debate, a solution is not feasible.--Raubfreundschaft (talk) 20:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Right-- not criticising you, I just find the whole think absurd. This sort of decision should not be up to the whims of a mob discussion, which is bound to be biased. But that's how those in charge seem to want it, so I'll just keep my mouth shut... Dekkappai (talk) 20:22, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- You are most welcome to have your say in this discussion. I think of going with this to the Village Pump as well, if that is the right place to ask. Do you have any ideas to add, perhaps?--Raubfreundschaft (talk) 20:34, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, no, I'm not much on Wiki-politics, so wouldn't know how to pursue the case. Personally, I'd let it drop and go on to more productive editing areas... I think decisions like these should be made by authorities. If left up to merely "consensus" here, think it's doomed to be a U.S./Anglo-biased decision-- just as the one on JA-Wiki is just as likely to be biased for Japan. I think that's too bad, but that's just how things go around here... Dekkappai (talk) 20:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Very well. I agree, on the current (rather low) level, this is doomed to end in a pro-US decision, simply due to a prevalent POV. This is why I am trying to get more people into this, to achieve some sort of balance. If I still get shot down by the sheer amount of POV, I will try to pursue matters on a higher level. Mainly because I'm hoping that the higher echelons are sticking to NPOV rather than the POV of direct discussion. I'll have to see how this works out. I will not simply give up just yet, when I haven't even started.--Raubfreundschaft (talk) 21:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- OK, and now I bow out and apologize to Oda Mari for taking over her talk page for a little while ;-) Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Raubfreundschaft! I'm sorry but I'm not interested in that discussion. Hi, Dekkappai! It's OK. You are always welcome to come here. Happy editing to both of you. Oda Mari (talk) 06:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Very well. I contacted you because I have noticed you were active in the article at a previous point, and I thought you were that kind of person who had an interest as well as knowledge on the subject. Though since you have decided to stay out for whatever reason, I will respect that. --Raubfreundschaft (talk) 14:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Salutations
Thanks for the message on my talk page. I hope you are keeping well. I will modify the article as you recommended. Regarding the point raised about 着替える not being a compound verb - and the reason you put forward is that there is a noun 着替え - the simple fact is, it is a compound verb, made up of two separate verbs, and the fact that there is a noun derived from it is irrelevant. You would agree that やり直す is a compound verb, made up of やる+直す, even though there is a noun やり直し? Japanese has lots of these. Anyway, thanks. I shall fix the article today or tomorrow. --KägeTorä - (影虎) (TALK) 17:47, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- Excuse me. Could you say if there's an article where I can find the meaning of the names in japanese? For example: Spider I know already they read it as suppaida, but what is the meaning of the word spider in japanese? How the japanese people name it? Did you understand me? Please, if you know about such articles, tell me. Thanks.Brazilian Man (talk) 23:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
- It's one of gairaigo and it means "spider", 蜘蛛/くも/クモ in Japanese. There are examples in the gairaigo article, but there are too many gairaigo to include in the list. But most gairaigo are simple transliteration. So if the sound is similar to some foreign word, you can think it as it is. Or look up in a ja dictionary if you can type ja like "スパイダー".

Seeking a broadened perspective
May I invite you to watchlist Shinto Shrine?
Your comments or suggestions may be helpful at Talk:Shinto shrine#Revert. I am posting this as a kind of "heads up;" however, I do not anticipate you will need to intervene. If something does develop, I want to learn from your point-of-view.
The contributions history here + an old dispute thread at Talk:Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū#Top three shrines cause me to guess that this is precisely the kind of problem which calls for a bit of worry. For more background, see also here
In response to an early-2009 dispute, I created Hakozaki Shrine, Usa Shrine and Modern system of ranked Shinto Shrines. The research which went into developing these articles informs my reaction to an otherwise trivial edit here. The small change suggests that this may have something to do with pre-1947 State Shinto ranking.
From 1871 to 1947, the Kanpei-sha (官幣社) identified a hierarchy of government-supported shrines most closely associated with the Imperial family. Included in the highest ranks were these three:
- Usa Shrine, Usa, Ōita —Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社)
- Iwashimizu Shrine, Yawata, Kyoto— Kanpei-taisha, 3rd among the most highly ranked Imperial shrines
- Hakozaki Shrine, Fukuoka— Kanpei-taisha
Before 1947, the mid-range of ranked, nationally significant shrines or Kokuhei Chūsha (国幣中社) included Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū at Kamakura, Kanagawa.
Maybe nothing will come of this. We'll see. In any case, thank you for your investment of time and concern across the past few years. --Tenmei (talk) 17:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
