Please help renaming an article

Intel 8048 seems to introduce the whole Intel MCS-48 series rather than 8048. But Intel MCS-48 is a redirect page and I can't rename it. May any administrator help me with this? Thanks.--迴廊彼端（会話） 2022年1月21日 (金) 08:00 (UTC)

Hello, 迴廊彼端-san. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish here. Are you trying to move (aka rename) the Intel 8048 page to the Intel MCS-48 page? If so, please discuss it at ノート:Intel 8048 (its Talk page) first. If you need help, you can present your case here on your talk page in English and I can post it on the Talk page in Japanese for you. However, I have to warn you in advance that I cannot promise if I will be able to secure your desired result or not. Best, --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年1月21日 (金) 22:14 (UTC) Here→ Your talk page --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年1月22日 (土) 00:01 (UTC)

• @迴廊彼端 You can't move Intel 8048 to Intel MCS-48 because the destination has a page history as an article. In this case, you need to propose page move on Talk:Intel 8048 per WP:MOVE and submit an AfD before renaming, when consensus is made. You might want to post this on the relevant talk page (in English), then I'm pretty sure someone will help you out. --Dragoniez (talk) 2022年1月22日 (土) 05:53 (UTC)

@RottenApple777 and Dragoniez:Thanks for your suggestions. I've posted this on ノート:Intel 8048#Renaming this article to Intel MCS-48. Would you help me there?--迴廊彼端（会話） 2022年2月22日 (火) 17:12 (UTC)

@迴廊彼端:-san, Dragoniez-san submitted a request for renaming the article and I set its talk page up accordingly. Now, we will see. --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年2月22日 (火) 18:35 (UTC)

@Dragoniez:-san, I need your help. Do we need to submit an AfD for the transfer page, Intel MCS-48, now? Or should we wait to see if this request is agreed by the community? Also, I am concerned about submitting the AfD as Intel MCS-48 has the real revision history. Is there any other ways so that we won't lose the revision history? Maybe we can discuss this at ノート:Intel 8048. Thank you in advance. --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年2月22日 (火) 18:35 (UTC)

We'll need to turn in an AfD for case C AFTER consensus is made on the page's renaming. Intel MCS-48's revision history is a duplicate of the current content of Intel 8048, so there shouldn't be any problem with deleting the page. --Dragoniez (talk) 2022年2月22日 (火) 19:37 (UTC)

Done. There's no objection to the page rename proposal on the talk page and the target page that was precluding the page move has been deleted per the AfD. A casual notification that the page renaming has been done successfully. --Dragoniez (talk) 2022年3月11日 (金) 03:17 (UTC)

Copyright violation reports

Hello! I found two articles 鍵山雛 and チルノ mainly written by user:YUKI TANAKA0722 may contain copyright violations. I have nominated them for CSD, but I'm not familiar with this project's handling proces. I am deeply sorry if I did anything wrong. Sincerely hope someone can teach me what to do. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月5日 (土) 23:57 (UTC)

Apologies. We are sorry.

Please don't just delete it.

I am Japanese, I do not speak proper English, I may not be able to communicate properly, please forgive me.--YUKI TANAKA0722（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 00:26 (UTC)

You have apologized a lot on Wikicommons about your copyright violations again and again, before you were finally indefinitely blocked. Now you violated copyright again here. Yep, I don't really mind, but I'm afraid the community will find it hard to accept your apology.
Google-翻訳 (sorry for not understanding Japanese)
あなたは最終的に無期限にブロックされる前に、著作権侵害についてウィキコモンズで何度も何度も謝罪しました。 ここでまた著作権を侵害しました。 ええ、私はあまり気にしませんが、コミュニティがあなたの謝罪を受け入れるのが難しいと思うのではないかと心配しています。 Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 02:58 (UTC)

Hi @Lemonaka! It seems like a Japanese user has submitted it for Articles for Deletion (ja:WP:AFD). The discussions for deletion for the mentioned articles can be found here and here. Like on the English Wikipedia, they will have to go through discussions whether the articles contains copyright violations, and if there is a consensus that they do, an admin will delete them. Thanks for your contribution! --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 02:08 (UTC)

Hi @YellowSmileyFace thanks for your help and your notice. I just found another article also has the same problem, 東風谷早苗, which contains copy-paste from https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E6%9D%B1%E9%A2%A8%E8%B0%B7%E6%97%A9%E8%8B%97#h2_3. Also cc @柏尾菓子: who submitted previous AFD. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 02:18 (UTC)

Thank you. I’m sorry I am on my phone right now so I can’t nominate it for deletion, but if it isn’t already nominated, I will surely do that when I have time. —-YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 02:22 (UTC)

Hi @Lemonaka, I've submitted the article for deletion at Wikipedia:削除依頼/東風谷早苗. Thanks for letting me know!--YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 12:59 (UTC)

Hi @YellowSmileyFace, maybe you forget a * compared to user:柏尾菓子's AFD submission. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 22:24 (UTC)

Thanks @Lemonaka, you are right. I should have put it the * there. I'll fix it. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 22:59 (UTC)

Thanks for your great help, now the case is solved. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月6日 (日) 23:01 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFace. Hi, Lemonaka again! I also found that サイバネットシステム created by user:YUKI TANAKA0722 also contains direct copy-paste from https://www.cybernet.jp/company/about/history/, is this another copyvio or not? If yes, please check more of their contributions, I suspect more copyvios may be find. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月8日 (火) 02:50 (UTC)

@Lemonaka, this might not be a copyright issue because it does not copy and paste the whole thing and it changes some parts of the text. Just want to let you know that I am not a professional of copyrights so I might be wrong. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月8日 (火) 14:19 (UTC) Added --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月8日 (火) 21:51 (UTC)

Edit warring of NneKjmr

Hi, lemonaka again. When I relinked photos on commons for 太田光, 田中裕二 (お笑い芸人) and 爆笑問題, 利用者:NneKjmr（会話 / 投稿記録） kept removing them without telling me why. This repeated for three times. Could anyone help me discuss with them to stop edit warring? --Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月11日 (金) 08:28 (UTC)

Because it's not an official photo. It is an infringement of portrait rights (I belong to their management company).--NneKjmr（会話） 2022年11月11日 (金) 08:35 (UTC)

Then you please just tell me that reason; you could have added this to edit summary any time when you reverted me. Ehh, let me see, edit summary box is just below the edit box. Anyway, solved. For infringement of portrait rights @NneKjmr:, you need file a DR request on commons. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月11日 (金) 08:38 (UTC)

@NneKjmrさん ウィキペディアで編集をされる際は、編集の要約を要約欄(編集を公開する際に出てくる記入欄)に記入することが推奨されています。この場合は「肖像権侵害」などと書くのが妥当でしょうか。これからはよろしくお願いします。なお、肖像権が問題なら、当該画像がアップロードされているウィキメディア・コモンズの削除の方針を熟読の上、コモンズで画像を削除依頼に提出することができます。コモンズでの削除依頼は英語である必要はありませんが、推奨されています。

@Lemonaka Hi, it’s YellowSmileyFace again. I told @NneKjmr that they can submit the image for Deletion Request on Commons. But I have a question: Does a deletion request on Commons have to be in English? Thanks! --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月11日 (金) 11:29 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFace, sorry for my reply slowly, I was terribly sick yesterday. We'd better submit the DR request in English, most sysops there are more familiar in English than Japanese. However, this is not a must, Japanese will also be acceptable. Some sysops on Commons are native Japanese speaker. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月12日 (土) 13:03 (UTC)

@Lemonaka Thanks for your reply, I hope you feel better. I told @NneKjmr they could submit a DR if they wanted to, and I wanted to clarify if it had to be in English. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月13日 (日) 07:56 (UTC)

Reliable sources about "The Little One" (くろいの) by Kiyo Tanaka (田中清代)?

I'm trying to see if I can write an article in English about "The Little One" (くろいの) by Kiyo Tanaka (田中清代). I found one reliable source in English, a book review by Kirkus Reviews https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/kiyo-tanaka/the-little-one-tanaka/ , but I need multiple reliable sources to create an English article.

Did any Japanese book review magazines and/or newspapers write about this book? I could add the reliable sources to a bibliography to show the ENwiki community that the book has multiple reliable sources.

Thank you WhisperToMe（会話） 2022年1月2日 (日) 18:23 (UTC)

According to the database used by さいたま市図書館(Saitama Municipal Library)［基本情報］, there is a book review in the 朝日新聞(en:The Asahi Shimbun) on December 9, 2018. The book won the 68th 小学館児童出版文化賞(Shogakukan Children's Book Publishing Culture Award) and the 25th 日本絵本賞大賞(Japan Picture Book Award). According to the 日刊工業新聞(en:Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun), she became the first Japanese to win the パープルアイランド賞(Purple Island) by 『くろいの』("The Black Thing") at the Nami Concours 2019 sponsored by Nami Islands, Inc. in Korea [1]([2]).--Lmkjgmo（会話） 2022年1月4日 (火) 07:45 (UTC)

User:Lmkjgmo Thank you so much for your help! I started a draft at en:User:WhisperToMe/The Little One. If you want please send me the book review and I can auto-translate it, or if you like you can add material to the draft. WhisperToMe（会話） 2022年1月14日 (金) 07:33 (UTC)

交尾

User:Eu,hz uploaded File:人間の交尾.jpg to Commons, then added it to this article. At a Commons deletion request, it was kept because it was in use here. But I don’t think the use is legitimate. Could a local user check? (By the way, this whole process is harder than it should be because the UI keeps changing back to Japanese. Is there a way to permanently change it to English?) Brianjd（会話） 2022年11月9日 (水) 07:24 (UTC)

I finally got it by doing the following:

1. Find the preferences link.
2. Convert it to https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E7%89%B9%E5%88%A5:%E5%80%8B%E4%BA%BA%E8%A8%AD%E5%AE%9A&uselang=en.
3. Change the language from Japanese to English.

Changing the other language settings (the ones accessed from the settings button under the interwiki links) didn’t work.

The embassy should provide an easy way to deal with this language issue, and the embassy itself should be easier to find to begin with, especially since the system already knows I’m a non-Japanese speaker.--Brianjd（会話） 2022年11月9日 (水) 07:34 (UTC)

You could have a try for global language preference? Maybe this will work on all wiki projects. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月9日 (水) 07:37 (UTC)

@Lemonaka 👍 I just tried that, and it looks like it does work (tested on eswiki).--Brianjd（会話） 2022年11月9日 (水) 07:42 (UTC)

I don't understand Japanese either, but hopefully this will help you. For embassy, you could come to WP:embassy, which is a suitable link for non-Japanese speakers and it will lead you here. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月9日 (水) 07:44 (UTC)

@Lemonaka That’s much easier than the way I did it (following my memory of the UI, I searched the ‘General Help’ namespaces for ‘English’).--Brianjd（会話） 2022年11月9日 (水) 07:56 (UTC)

Hello @Brianjd. I don't understand what you mean by legitimate use of a file. Could you expand on that? Thanks. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月10日 (木) 02:03 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFace ‘Legitimate use’ means that the local community (in this case, the Japanese Wikipedia community) approves of the use. As a user who is not active here, I don’t want to make that decision, but I do want to draw the community’s attention to this article. The uploader also has only has a few contributions here, and I wouldn’t expect a picture of human sex to appear in an article like this.--Brianjd（会話） 2022年11月10日 (木) 02:12 (UTC)

@Brianjd I don't think there is a policy or anything that regulates use of images (There is a page Wikipedia:Image use policy, but it does not say much about say much about when to use images). Maybe I could start a discussion about it on the article's note page. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月10日 (木) 02:20 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFace That seems like a good idea. I probably would have done so myself if I could write Japanese.--Brianjd（会話） 2022年11月10日 (木) 02:22 (UTC)

I made a new section on ノート:交尾 about this problem. Hopefully people will join the discussion. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月10日 (木) 03:07 (UTC)

copyright violation again

User:YUKI TANAKA0722 wrote an article ルーミア, containing directly copy-paste from https://danmaku.jp/character/c028/# on 人物 section. Pinging@YellowSmileyFace: who helped me a lot recently and cc@柏尾菓子: who submitted previous AFDs. Considering this user kept copyright violating a lot recently, I'd like to request for a block for them.----Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月19日 (土) 09:16 (UTC)

@Lemonaka I have submitted an AFD at Wikipedia:削除依頼/ルーミア 20221119 and warned the user at 利用者‐会話:YUKI_TANAKA0722#著作権侵害に関して. I told them they may get blocked if they continue copyright violation. I really appreciate your help. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月19日 (土) 12:32 (UTC)

Thank you so much for giving me such great help recently. I cannot speak Japanese at all even with machine translation. Without your help, nothing can be solved here. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月19日 (土) 12:43 (UTC)

@Lemonaka No problem- thank you for helping us. We wouldn't have noticed those copyright violations without your help. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月20日 (日) 20:44 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFace I also found this user's contribution on マイナビ, especially section of 不祥事, containing directly copy paste from those two sites, https://www.j-cast.com/2021/12/07426550.html and https://www.j-cast.com/2021/12/07426533.html . An afd might needed Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月19日 (土) 12:49 (UTC)

The content from マイナビ to 拡散したことだ is from https://www.j-cast.com/2021/12/07426550.html, the next paragraph comes from https://www.j-cast.com/2021/12/07426533.html . Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月19日 (土) 12:50 (UTC)

@Lemonakaさん: I verified that user's copyright violation on ルーミア and you were right. However, in the case of マイナビ, I judged that his edit wasn't wholly copying from the website you had given. It has partly altered by inserting original research. By this, I suppose we don't have to raise new AFD. --Sethemhat（会話） 2022年11月19日 (土) 23:46 (UTC)

@Sethemhatさん and @YellowSmileyFaceさん, 秋葉杜紫 containing something copy from https://sansui.base.shop/, especially on section #人物像, and on section #人物略歴 from 戦中陸軍軍医 to 言われる also copy from that site. Is this another copyright violation or not? Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月23日 (水) 16:34 (UTC)

@Lemonakaさん, I'm actually not sure if this is a copyright violation, so I submitted it on Wikipedia:著作権問題調査依頼, where other users that are more knowledgeable about copyright violations can check if it is. The discussion will be on ノート:秋葉杜紫. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月23日 (水) 23:03 (UTC)

Thanks, now this part may be solved after discussion. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月24日 (木) 00:24 (UTC)

@Lemonakaさん Sorry to restart the discussion, but I just wanted to report you that @YUKI TANAKA0722さん has edited ルーミア again, this time containing a possibly one-sentence copyright violation, so I again submitted an AfD at Wikipedia:削除依頼/ルーミア 20221126. The user is now reported on Wikipedia:管理者伝言板 for some kind of a block, which is jawp's equivalent of en:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月26日 (土) 02:45 (UTC)

Now 利用者:YUKI TANAKA0722（会話 / 投稿記録） was edit warring at that page, something more terrible. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月26日 (土) 11:29 (UTC)

Inaccurate writing without sources and based on the editor's own research, and writing with proper sources and solid information. I have been working under the belief that the latter should be given priority.--YUKI TANAKA0722（会話） 2022年11月26日 (土) 11:36 (UTC)

However, you cannot copy some content directly from other sites. This is totally unacceptable. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月26日 (土) 12:34 (UTC)

I have thought a little and I'd like to give you some advice, if you are not familiar with Policies, please do not edit for a while, thus may protect you from being blocked, to add up, I'd like to advice you take other's warnings into heart instead of just saying I'm sorry.

Article to delete

Hello. The article ロシアのファシズム (イデオロギー) is a partial translation in Japanese of a previous version of an article at the English Wikipedia (WP en). However, the WP en article was written using en:FICTREF and to push a POV, all the while using the title "Russian fascism" to make it look like the topic is a notable historical subject while the topic is de facto 'any claim of Russia, esp. Russia under Vladimir Putin, being fascist and any comparison with Russia and past fascist regimes'. Please see the discussions at en:Talk:Russian fascism (ideology)#Editing problems and my intervention at sv:Diskussion:Rysk fascism#POV. The article at WP en which served as the basis for numerous WP articles translations (mostly by the same user!) is clearly a POV full of en:FICTREF (I gave one example at the sv WP which is also valid here, and there are many others I pointed out at WP en). The article and its translations, I feel, should be deleted. Meanwhile, I have turned the WP en article into a general article with all the dubiously sourced claims removed, and have split wikidata:Q15975478 and wikidata:Q111487585.
What solutions do you propose? Could the article be speedy deleted by an admin? Thanks in advance for your help. --Veverve（会話） 2022年4月5日 (火) 05:44 (UTC)

Started an AfD at Wikipedia:削除依頼/ロシアのファシズム (イデオロギー), stating poor translation as the reason.

Request for autoconfirmed and extended confirmed perms on jaWiki

Hello! Recently I discovered an Japanese LTA who I reported to Meta:SRG and got globally locked. I attempted to revert some vandalism they caused on other Wiki's, however when I went to revert vandalism on this Wiki I was stopped by an edit filter (which I reported to the False Positives report page for this wiki). I figured that to prevent this from happening net time, I would request autoconfirmed and extended confirmed perms here. However, when I went to this Wiki's request for permissions page, it was only for permissions like Rollback. Am I missing something or does jaWiki not have a place to request perms like that? I'm only wanting to request them since I don't know Japanese so I can't really contribute here long enough to get those perms. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年5月13日 (金) 19:48 (UTC)

@RottenApple777: Pinging since you've helped me in the past with jaWiki related things. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年5月16日 (月) 17:49 (UTC)

Hi, @Blaze Wolf:. I just checked your user status at jawiki and saw that you just made it to be an auto-confirmed user on 2022-05-13 at 19:48---the date and time when you posted the first inquiry in this section(!). I guess you got one of the status you wanted by simply posting comments on this noticeboard. :)

Try again to see if you can revert the pages that are suffering from the pesky vandalism. If those articles are under extended confirmed protection (ECP), let us know. --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年5月16日 (月) 18:20 (UTC)

@RottenApple777: Alright. I don't think there's anymore vandalism (it's likely already been reverted by now) but I'll let you know. Blaze Wolf（会話） 2022年5月16日 (月) 18:24 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf: I forgot to list the site where you can request extended confirmed:

• Wikipedia:管理者伝言板/拡張承認の申請

I do not know how easy/difficult to get requests to be granted. --RottenApple777（会話） 2022年5月18日 (水) 21:40 (UTC)

レイコ・佐藤

I noticed that on the Wikidata page for レイコ・佐藤, we have a link to her National Diet Library page, which shows her name as 佐藤玲子. All the sources I see on Google, including web pages and books, show her name as レイコ・佐藤 instead (web page results, book results) (フラワー・ドラム・ソング, the name of a movie she appeared in, is added as disambiguation). Is 佐藤玲子 an alternative name for レイコ・佐藤, or does it refer to a different person? And if it does refer to レイコ・佐藤, should we move the page to 佐藤玲子 or just add it in the article? FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 01:13 (UTC)

佐藤玲子 is most likely to be a different person from レイコ・佐藤. 佐藤玲子 is an amature writer who published short stories titled as 観覧車 in 2000, as is shown in the National Diet Library page. She seems to live (or have lived) in Hokkaido because some of the literary coterie magazines where you can read her works were printed in Hakodate and Sapporo.[3] So we should remove the National Diet Library page link from the Wikidata page for レイコ・佐藤.--Ryota7906（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 18:29 (UTC)

I think you are correct. I also found a biography of her on Amazon, which shows her name written as レイコ・佐藤. I've removed the National Diet Library page link from レイコ・佐藤 and added it to 佐藤玲子, a different Wikidata item that I just made.

I have another question. I'm looking for Michi Kobi's Japanese name. I found her VIAF page, which has a National Diet Library page for 岡本まち子. Do you know whether 岡本まち子 is Michi Kobi's Japanese name or if it refers to a different person? Thank you for your work on レイコ・佐藤. FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 19:46 (UTC)

Actually, I think her Japanese name is most likely ミッチ・コビ. 嬉し泣き is a movie she appeared in and a web page about that movie lists her name as such: [4] FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 20:38 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. Michi Kobi is written in Japanese as ミッチ・コビ in the movie industry (another source is [5]). Her name is also written as ミチ・コビ[6](She is in a photo of 2012年 高齢者問題協議会 第6回 シニア・ウィーク＠日系人会), while 岡本まち子 on the National Diet Library page is a haiku poet and 桜前線 is her haiku anthology. So they are different persons at this time, too.--Ryota7906（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 21:12 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. I actually already saw that 2012 photo before while looking for her Japanese name, but I wasn't sure if it was actually Michi Kobi because there's nothing written about her on that page. I think I'll just use ミッチ・コビ for now, unless there's further proof that the picture shows the actress and not a different person with the same name. FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 21:20 (UTC)

Nevermind, I see the name ミチ・コビ used in a book while searching on Google: [7] I'll use that instead of ミッチ・コビ, since I think it's a more reliable source. FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月19日 (日) 22:30 (UTC)

I have one last question. This National Diet Library page refers to ノブ・マッカーシー, correct? I see the page refers to a book called 駆け落ち and I have its cover here: [8]. I think the cover describes her as an overseas Japanese actress, so it should be the same person this time I think. FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月20日 (月) 00:08 (UTC)

I am quite sure that both names are attributed to the same actress. You can see 渥美 延 on the book cover you have shown and ノブ・マッカーシー on its belly band (purple strip with white characters). Other reliable sources are [9](saying "ノブ・マッカーシーこと渥美延" in the middle part. The writer puts in "日本生まれの" just before her names but in fact the actress was born in Canada and raised in Japan. This writer is a college instructor.), and [10](It says the site was featured in the January 2007 issue of the magazine 編集会議.[11]).--Ryota7906（会話） 2022年6月20日 (月) 15:28 (UTC)

Thank you for the confirmation. I suspected as much. And thank you for answering not only one, but three questions. ありがとうございました。FunnyMath（会話） 2022年6月20日 (月) 16:21 (UTC)

Request to rename リトルエンジェルス・インターナショナルスクール

I have a request: リトルエンジェルス・インターナショナルスクール should be renamed: the school states its new name in Latin characters as "Musashi International School Tokyo" in Japanese language documents, but I do not know how JAwiki handles this. Thanks WhisperToMe（会話） 2022年12月22日 (木) 01:21 (UTC)

AFD request

Hi. A sockpuppet group creates ja:廖城蘭 on a bunch of wiki projects without disclosing conflict of interest ([12][13]). Almost all of its sources are press releases / advertorials or en:WP:PRIMARY which cannot prove actual notability. It has been deleted on zhwiki and enwiki via deletion discussion with detailed analysis, even though discussions were disturbed by multiple sockpuppets. I suppose it might not meet the basic notability requirements here as well. I kindly ask an editor to help start a deletion discussion on this project. Whether to keep it is up to editors here, anyway. Thanks. --虹易（会話） 2022年8月5日 (金) 08:14 (UTC)

@虹易. I think that ja:廖城蘭 have issue with attribution due to delete zh:廖城兰. I requested delete thereof copyright infringement at Wikipedia:削除依頼/廖城蘭.--Junknote（会話） 2022年8月5日 (金) 09:21 (UTC)

チルノ

Hello and so sorry for making such reports again.

On 00:51, 21 November 2022‎, just a week after Revision Deletion, the same copyright infringements were added to チルノ again by 利用者:しおきち（会話 / 投稿記録）, most content he added on that page was directly copied from https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%81%E3%83%AB%E3%83%8E . We might need to submit an AFD again.

Considering this copyright infringements was added back in such a short time after deletion, and the edit behaviour seemed unlikely new user. It left me strong impression that 利用者:しおきち（会話 / 投稿記録） is not a new user but sockpuppet of someone who previously added the same content, if possible, further Sockpuppet investigation may also be preferable. --Lemonaka（会話） 2022年11月24日 (木) 16:59 (UTC)

@Lemonakaさん I'm actually not sure; the sentences are changed a little and only a few sentences are copied out of the site. I'd wait to see the outcome of Wikipedia:削除依頼/ルーミア 20221126 which is a similar case where only one sentence was copied and pasted. Also sorry for replying late. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年11月29日 (火) 00:25 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFaceIt seemed the AFD discussion is stuck for nearly a month. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年12月31日 (土) 11:07 (UTC)

Yup - some people are for deleting and some people for keeping it. I guess it was expected because only a sentence was copied and pasted. I’m not even sure if there will be a conclusion. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2022年12月31日 (土) 11:45 (UTC)

@YellowSmileyFace Yup, let us move back to チルノ, in the section of 容姿, from 身長 to 羽根を持つ and from 髪は薄め to みだったり、 are just from https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%81%E3%83%AB%E3%83%8E, could we remove that? Lemonaka（会話） 2023年1月29日 (日) 15:13 (UTC)

The thing is that the user who added the texts made some changes to the text so it’s unclear if it is a violation of copyright. I could make some changes to it so it won’t be close to the one on pixiv dictionary, but I don’t think we need to submit an AFD. --YellowSmileyFace（会話） 2023年1月31日 (火) 00:17 (UTC)

IJKL

Hello,

My Japanese level is roughly around N5, so my apologies for writing in English.

A French LTA named 利用者:IJKL（会話 / 投稿記録） (also known as fr:wikt:User:X) is currently evading his global block and is (among other wikis) vandalising the Japanese Wikipedia.

This user is very stubborn and keeps contributing in languages he has little to no command of, including the Japanese language:

• Makes up kanji names for animals: [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]
• Makes up synonyms: [21][22]
• Removes alternate spellings found in dictionaries like Kotobank for no reason: [23][24][25][26]
• Replaces words that are usually written in kana by kanji, including in titles of works: [27][28][29][30][31]

The diffs I provided are just the tip of the iceberg, this user has been active since at least 2010, here's a list of his most recent IP addresses and accounts:

1. 利用者:Dim Blob（会話 / 投稿記録） (blocked on seven wikis)
2. 利用者:2A01:CB05:8B96:E000::/64（会話 / 投稿記録） (blocked on four wikis)
3. 利用者:2A01:CB05:8206:FB00::/64（会話 / 投稿記録）
4. (a more complete list is available here)

This user has been blocked several times from the French Wikipedia, English and Greek Wiktionary, banned from the French Wiktionary, I think he should be banned here as well and have a LTA page (like LTA:IJKL) because it really takes a lot of time to clean up the false information he spreads everywhere.

Pinging French Wiktionary and French Wikipedia admins who know IJKL/X very well: 利用者:TAKASUGI Shinji（会話 / 投稿記録）, 利用者:JackPotte（会話 / 投稿記録）, 利用者:Lyokoï（会話 / 投稿記録）, 利用者:Pamputt（会話 / 投稿記録） and 利用者:Kelam（会話 / 投稿記録）.

Kind regards, --Thibaut（会話） 2022年12月4日 (日) 15:33 (UTC)

Hi, @Thibaut120094:, if you want to put a vandal in global lock, you may come to m:SRG for help.
For creating an LTA page on Japanese Wikipedia, I roughly translated the page WP:LTA by machine and it instructs you to go to Wikipedia‐ノート:進行中の荒らし行為/長期, making a discussion and getting a conclusion before creating the page. Lemonaka（会話） 2022年12月4日 (日) 17:53 (UTC)

I was hoping maybe someone would translate my message and open a discussion there.

Regards. --Thibaut（会話） 2022年12月4日 (日) 18:04 (UTC)

Notre petite soeur

皆さん こんにちは

français

Je vous écris depuis la France. Désolé, mon japonais n'est pas assez bon pour vous écrire dans votre langue.

J'ai besoin de votre aide:

• sur votre wikipédia, l'article "海街diary" (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E8%A1%97diary) parle à la fois du manga et du film.

• sur la nôtre, il y a deux articles:
  • un pour le manga (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamakura_Diary)
  • un pour le film (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_petite_s%C5%93ur)

Il y a un lien interlangue qui pointe de notre article sur le manga vers le vôtre (et réciproquement). Je voudrais faire un lien depuis notre article sur le film vers votre page, mais ce n'est pas possible: sur wikidata, un seul article de chaque langue peut être déclaré.

La solution est que vous créiez une page de redirection vers la section concernant le film: de cette façon, je pourrai référencer cette page depuis notre article sur le film. C'est possible ?

Merci beaucoup d'avance.

Amitiés (Comment dit-on ça en japonais?)

--Thyresias（会話） 2022年8月20日 (土) 09:18 (UTC)

Bonjour. J'ai lu récemment votre demande et j'ai compris que la situation dans d'autres langues est très différente de celle de la version japonaise. J'ai donc transmis votre demande à la communauté japonaise. Conformément aux lignes directrices relatives à la scission d'articles, j'attendrai une semaine pour recueillir des avis et, si personne ne s'y oppose, je scinderai la page et créerai un article individuel pour le film.

• Malheureusement, il n'existe pas de mot parfait pour désigner l'amitié en japonais. Je suppose qu'en général, nous traduirons 友好(yukō) ou 友情(yujō), qui signifie friendship ou friendly relationship en anglais.

--1203yy（会話） 2023年5月23日 (火) 11:59 (UTC)

Je tiens à vous informer que l'article pour le film Notre petite sœur est devenu un article indépendant.

English

I'm writing to you from France. Sorry, my Japanese is not good enough to write to you in your own language.

I need your help:

• on your wikipedia, the article "海街diary" (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E8%A1%97diary) is related to both the manga and the movie.

• on ours, there are two articles:
  • one for the manga (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamakura_Diary)
  • one for the movie (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_petite_s%C5%93ur)

There is an interlingual link pointing from our article about the manga to your article (and vice-versa). I would like to create a link from our article about the movie to your article, but it is not possible: on wikidata, only one article per language can be declared.

The solution is that you create a redirection page towards the movie section of your article: this way, I can reference this redirection page from our article about the movie. Could you do that?

Many thanks in advance.

All the best (What would it be in Japanese?)

--Thyresias（会話） 2022年8月20日 (土) 09:18 (UTC)

PS: "Amitiés" ("Frienships") is better than the English expression, IMHO ^_^

It's the closest to the French expression I would like to know in Japanese.

ワンボックスカー

The body style of vehicles such as Renault Twingo or Honda Today is also referred to, at least in Europe as One-box/Monobox/Monospace. I think it's possible to write about this style in the article ワンボックスカー. Greetings, Kotori Habane（会話） 2022年8月9日 (火) 18:55 (UTC)

I added mention of usage in Europe. One-box in Japanese is equivalent to Van in English, so it does not include compact passenger cars nor mini-van in Japan. Twingo cannot be added to the list of one-box in Japan.--Uiweo（会話） 2022年8月15日 (月) 14:54 (UTC)

A/B test for topic subscriptions

あなたの言語への翻訳をお助けください.

Hello, all.

The mw:Talk pages project would like to offer a new [更新を通知] button to half of the editors here.  The new [更新を通知] button will appear on each ==Section== of a talk page with comments.  If you click the new [更新を通知] button, you will "subscribe" or "follow" the discussion.  You will get a message in Special:Notifications when someone posts a comment in that section.

This is only for 50% of logged-in editors (not IPs).  Existing editors will need to click the new button to subscribe to a discussion.  New editors will be automatically subscribed to all topics that they start.  The Editing team hopes this will help new editors communicate with you.  You can test the [更新を通知] button now, on this page, by clicking on https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_for_Non-Japanese_Speakers?dtenable=1

You can learn more and talk to the Editing team at mw:Talk pages project/Notifications.  If you don't like it, you can turn it off in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures and Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

This could be offered here in a couple of weeks.  Please tell me if your Wikipedia does not want to try this.--Whatamidoing (WMF)（会話） 2022年3月24日 (木) 04:52 (UTC)

Name order?

Should pages of celebrities have their surname and then first name or the opposite? If I was writing an article of someone and their first name was "a" and their surname was "b", should I name the article "a b" or "b a"? STIK2009（会話） 2022年10月12日 (水) 22:09 (UTC)

• If writing in Japanese, and the celebrity is a Japanese person, it would be B A. For most Japanese people, if writing in English, it is A B. (This may change if English language media outlets change to using "B A", but for now they use "A B") WhisperToMe（会話） 2022年10月13日 (木) 23:56 (UTC)
