DYK for Takahiro Nishikawa

On 23 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Takahiro Nishikawa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that former Dreams Come True band member Takahiro Nishikawa opened a bar in his hometown of Sapporo in 2009, seven years after he left the band? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Takahiro Nishikawa. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Takahiro Nishikawa), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Proposed deletion of Satoshi Yuki (disambiguation)

The article Satoshi Yuki (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This disambiguation page contains the primary topic and one other topic for the ambiguous title and no other topics can be found within a reasonable time.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:03, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Please stop trying to humiliate me

I am being painfully polite but I really don't like your tone towards me. I am sticking to our standard SOP on usernames and you just seem to be keen to belittle me on a promo users user page. Why? Secretlondon (talk) 21:25, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to belittle or humiliate you. I apoligize if that's how it seemed. That wasn't my intent.

Usernames of "Name at XTZ Company" are perfectly acceptable, and we shouldn't be requiring or requesting someone change their username if it's along those lines. You seemed to be insisting they change their username even though it was already acceptable under the policy. Dealing with a COI is separate from that. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 02:03, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Gackt's new revision on Japanese Misplaced Pages

Hi, please can you help me with the new revision of the article Gackt at Japanese Misplaced Pages? Two editors who don't have basic clue about Misplaced Pages editing policy are making disruptive and vandalic reverts - going even to the point of deletion request - while the new revision only needs fixing the grammar, while the old revision is of a very poor quality with many editorial problems. Miki Filigranski (talk) 08:37, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Anyway, unfortunately the deletion request will pass because I didn't provide URL link although mentioned several times it is from English Misplaced Pages (on talk page and edit summary). In other words, I need someone to do WP:TRANSLATEUS of the article on English Misplaced Pages in the form which can be found at User:Miki Filigranski/sandbox.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Request for "userfication" of certain templates and images

Good evening! I hope this message finds you well. :)

I noticed that you were on the list of administrators willing to let editors view deleted articles and files.

Given this, I would like to request the userfication of a few NHL playoff bracket templates that I once contributed to significantly, but have since been deleted. In addition, I am wondering if you could do the same for a handful of now-deleted SVG files formerly on Wikimedia.

I made numerous edits to the templates in question, and I feel I made significant progress in not only improving upon their quality at the time, but towards creating ones that could potentially be used on different pages or projects in the future.

As a result, I would like the opportunity to continue building each of them into a more refined product, by relocating these deleted templates into my user space instead. It would be quite important for me to be able to access each such page's revision history, as a bunch of edits (in addition to older versions that could nonetheless prove quite useful) have been "lost" or hidden somewhere down in its history.

Without any further ado, here are the pages in question:

• Template:2022_Stanley_Cup_playoffs
• Template:Template:FutureHypothetical-NHL_Divisional
• Template:Template:16TeamBracket-NHL_Divisional

I believe the final template in this list is the one I was mainly working on, but I am not completely certain, as those edits occurred quite some time ago.

Finally, these are the Wikimedia files I would like to have moved into my user space:

• File:Map of the swing states.svg
• File:CPVI post-2020.svg

Of course, these images are located over at Wikimedia, but I felt it was unnecessary to make two separate requests on each of your talk pages.

Thank you very much for any help you might be able to provide, and take care!

A Red Cherry (talk) 06:12, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@A Red Cherry: I've userfied the three template for you:

• User:A Red Cherry/2022 Stanley Cup playoffs
• User:A Red Cherry/FutureHypothetical-NHL Divisional
• User:A Red Cherry/16TeamBracket-NHL Divisional

The images are located on Commons, so there's no need to userfy them. Simply use them from Commons the same way you use any images. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for all the help!

As it relates to the two images, I cannot access either file, as they do not exist (at least not publicly) anymore. The reason they aren't showing as red links is because they now redirect to two files that used to be similar to the versions of the deleted images at the time. I mostly requested their userfication because there were useful edits to their descriptions and legends lodged deep in their respective version histories, which I would like to use at some point in the future.

Would it still be possible to userfy these two deleted images anyway, or is that not an option for Commons?

Once again, I really appreciate all your assistance!

A Red Cherry (talk) 19:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@A Red Cherry: The exist and are publicly available:

• commons:File:Swing state map.svg
• commons:File:CookPVIwithin2points.svg

They are both on Commons and are not deleted. It's possible they were updated, though. You can look at the file history on Commons (scroll down to the File history section and find the version you want, then click on it to view it). Regarding userfying the images, images should not be in userspace. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:05, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

They were visually very similar, though not fully identical, to the files they were replaced with at the time. However, the underlying XML code structure of each SVG was significantly different, and that was mainly what I wanted to recuperate through userfication. In addition, a number of useful edits have become buried somewhere in each file's revision history, which is no longer publicly available to me now.

Furthermore, both files, as seen in and , have indeed been deleted, and I cannot access old revisions to either one, as in and . In addition, the logs for each action can be found at and , respectively.

I understand if the userfication of Commons files isn't possible. In that case, would there be any preferable methods for recovering the edit history of each image (and presumably their past versions along with them)?

Once again, thank you very much for your help! I appreciate your diligent assistance with my earlier renaming requests as well. :)

A Red Cherry (talk) 21:47, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@A Red Cherry: I'm not an admin on Commons, so I can't undelete anything there. You will have to ask over at their admin noticeboard. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:57, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Got it! And, that's alright, no worries. Thanks a ton for all the help you've given me anyways :)

Aquaveo

If you are editing this article, and let's say theoretically speaking, you had a close connection to the company, you would need to disclose this as a conflict of interest, would you not? Sagflaps (talk) 04:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I've never been paid to edit the article, if that's what you're implying. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

What I mean is the standard criteria on Misplaced Pages:Conflict_of_interest#Paid_editing, "An editor has a financial conflict of interest when they write about a topic with which they have a close financial relationship. This includes being an owner, employee, contractor, investor or other stakeholder." Sagflaps (talk) 18:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

As I said, I have never been paid, directly or indirectly, to edit the Aquaveo article. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of Aquaveo for deletion

The discussion will take place at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Aquaveo until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Allegations and your silence

Hi Nihonjoe, I certainly don't want this old story to overshadow your 18+ years of contributions, including 120,000+ constructive edits, a few FAs, and tens of thousands of hours in unpaid time. You deserve a lot of respect for that! Having significantly less experience, I'd nonethelss like to suggest you to consider addressing the growing COI allegations. In my observation, it's usually better this way – the community hates it when privileged editors appear to apply double standard, and then try to avoid scrutiny, dodge questions, and refuse to address doubts. I don't think this case will die. Opposite: in the absence of an honest attempt to come clean, the community will, very likely, sooner or later come down on you like a ton of bricks:

I'm far from judging you – usually there are many sides to a story, and I've seen worse – but you might also like to review your voluntary position as a bureaucrat.

Wishing you well. — kashmīrī  01:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

What silence? I have a life outside of Misplaced Pages, and I can't spend every waking moment here. And refusing to share personal information is not dodging questions or trying to avoid scrutiny. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:12, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
