Hello. I am Techyan from Chinese Wikipedia. I noticed that a cross-wiki vandaliser made several edits on jawiki that may be vandalisms. This user has been confirmed as a sockpuppet on enwiki, and these puppets especially prefer to vandalize articles like パイズリ and 足コキ. So please be aware of these puppets and if possible, protect the two pages above. --Techyan（会話） 2017年1月2日 (月) 12:17 (UTC)

Sega buying Tokyo Movie Shinsha citation

[編集]

Konichiwa. This is Iftekhar from the English Wikipedia. I have a query regarding the article about TMS Entertainment (トムス・エンタテインメント). The article mentiones that Tokyo Movie Shinsha was purchased by Sega (セガホールディングス) as a subsidiary, however, there are no citations for that. I am aware that this has occurred before Sammy bought Sega, however, in order for it to be accepted in the English Wikipedia, we need an official citation. I have tried searching for one in the English language Google, however, I have had no results. I have no problem of the citation being in Japanese (as it can be translated to English), however, I need a link to prove that Sega bought Tokyo Movie Shinsha. Please can you respond to this as soon as possible with a citation. Thank you for your cooperation. Iftekharahmed96（会話） 2017年1月17日 (火) 11:40 (UTC)

The Japanese version of the official company history page [1] is much more detailed than its English counterpart [2]. I won't spend my time translating all the lines here, but rather pick up the lines that mentions Sega.
  • Heisei 4 (1992), August : Formed capital and business alliance with Sega Enterprises
  • Heisei 17 (2005), October : Sega Sammy Holdings is now the parent company
  • Heisei 22 (2010), December : Becomes wholly owned subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings
  • Heisei 27 (2015), April : Wholly owned subsidiary of Sega Holdings
朝彦（会話） 2017年1月17日 (火) 11:53 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your help, I'll make sure that this information is inserted to the English page of TMS Entertainment. You've perfectly highlighted all the key information that I required! Iftekharahmed96（会話） 2017年1月21日 (土) 11:22 (UTC)

Help creating ja.wikipedia Cannabis category tree

Translating ボッテガ・ヴェネタ

[編集]

Hi! I’m from the English-language Wikipedia, where in addition to volunteer editing, I also get paid to edit (disclosed at my userpage here). One of my clients (Bottega Veneta) tasked me with ensuring their information was correct at the Japanese-language version. They’ve provided me with an up-to-date translation of the English article, but I’m only fluent in English. Can anyone here help me verify the translations and update the Japanese-language version?--FacultiesIntact（会話） 2017年2月17日 (金) 01:42 (UTC)

Is en:Rankin' Taxi a cannabis/marijuana advocate? ランキンタクシー

[編集]

The Japanese article ランキンタクシー says he is involved in the Marijuana Parade or some such thing, but I cannot find any Reliable Sources which document that he is a cannabis/marijuana activist. Do such sources exist in Japanese? Goonsquad LCpl Mulvaney（会話） 2017年2月28日 (火) 23:47 (UTC)

The article ランキンタクシー has no reliable source so that Template:BLP unsourced has been placed at its top since 2008. I cannot find enough reliable sources about it, but his song "マリファナ音頭 (Marijuana Ondo)" was released on Rhythm of Life Inc. [3] and he have joined Marijuana March in Japan several times. You can see some of the marches he joined on YouTube. [4][5]--SilverSpeech（会話） 2017年3月1日 (水) 04:34 (UTC)

please rename A・ローラン to the Japanese equivalent of Joseph Jean Pierre Laurent

[編集]

See the English Wikipedia article about him for more information. The Minor Planet Center lists discoverers of asteroids by their surname and initials, so they formerly listed his name as "A. Laurent" because his first name was unknown and "A." was used as a placeholder. However, his name is now known and the Minor Planet Center lists him as "J. J. P. Laurent". However Wikipedia uses full names, so here his article should be renamed to the Japanese equivalent of Joseph Jean Pierre Laurent. -- P.T. Aufrette（会話） 2017年3月12日 (日) 08:09 (UTC)

日光二荒山神社

[編集]

Hello, I would appreciate if someone could bring a reference to confirm an information in the article 日光二荒山神社. Indeed, in the "歴史 > 創建" section, it is written: 「なお、社伝などでは上記のように勝道上人が開祖と説明されるが、実際には太郎山神社周辺で古代の祭祀の痕跡を示す遺跡が見つかっており、相当古くから聖地として信仰対象であったことがわかっている。」. I could not find a good reference to get confirmation of this. So if someone can help... Thank you. --ContributorQ（会話） 2017年4月19日 (水) 19:40 (UTC) 返信 Hi, I find an online paper about Shodo, 「日光開山・沙門勝道の人物像」. According to the paper, it is described that;

  • A few of the artifacts excavated from 日光山山頂遺跡 (the remains at the top of Nikko-san, Mt. Nikko), such as magatama and 錫杖頭 (a top part of shakujo), were older than Shodo (pp. 54-55).
  • The remain in the west of the summit (in the west of 太郎山神社祠殿) is dated from Nara period to Early Heian period (p. 55).
  • The reason why there are articacts before Shodo is that; (pp. 55-56)
    • It is generally thought that the artifacts of Kofun period were taken into the mountain after the era, and that some buddist crimbed Nikko-san before Shodo, in Nara period or before Nara (斎藤忠 (Tadashi Saito), 1976).
    • 大和久震平(Shinpei Owaku) supposed that some had already crimbed in Kofun period, because artifacts in the era had been found at the tops of other mountains in Japan (大和久震平, 1990).
  • Buddists in Nara period called the mountain as Potalaka (pp. 60-61).
    • Some insist that Nikko-san had been believed before this (近藤喜博, 1991), but there are no critical evidence.

I suspect that 「相当古くから聖地として信仰対象であったことがわかっている。」is not written from Neutral Point Of View. We need more investigation.

@SilverSpeech: hi, thank you very much for your detailed answer and the document (I will read it this week-end). I knew about the excavation(s) on the summit of Nantaisan. But indeed, none of the references I checked so far clearly affirm that Shōdō was not the first to reach Nantaisan's top. So, as it is established that before reaching Nantaisan's summit, he climbed Nyōhōsan and Tarōsan, I searched some detailed informations to know whether he was the first to reach the Nyōhōsan'summit and/or Tarōsan's summit. But I only found one line on the jaWiki page about the Futarasan-jinja. Many references reported that he was the pioneer on Nantaisan, but not a word about the other volcanoes.
Also, that some unearthed artifacts are older than Shōdō is not a solid proof, because even after him, someone could have brought a very old object on Nantaisan's top. So yes, more investigation is needed, at least to gather the known various point of views. I am actually working on the french versions of 女峰山, 男体山 and 日光二荒山神社. So this is a point I woud like to clarify.
Once again, thank you very much for your help. --ContributorQ（会話） 2017年4月21日 (金) 22:56 (UTC)

Deploying InternetArchiveBot on jawiki

[編集]

Hello everyone on the Japanese Wikipedia. I am Cyberpower678, an administrator on the English Wikipedia and a bot operator. I have come here to ask if the Japanese community would welcome m:InternetArchiveBot and/or the tools that come with it. Before just asking the question, I will offer some background on the bot and the motifs for deploying this onto other wiki.

What is InternetArchiveBot?

[編集]

InternetArchiveBot is a very sophisticated bot designed for the sole purpose of combating the ongoing problems of links dying. The bot is able to fully autonomously crawl through Wikipedia's article space and analyze links, that are formatted in various methods, and appropriately modify the wiki markup to preserve the sources used on articles. It uses a very reliable algorithm to determine if sites are dead or not. In addition to the advanced algorithms used to parse reference formatting, and checking websites, the bot is highly configurable to suit the needs of the wiki. I will touch more on this later. However, the bot does not have to be fully autonomous. IABot comes with a bunch of tools that editors can use, which can be found here. These tools let users report bugs found with the bot, help the bot improve it's reliability by letting users report issues with the bot's link checking abilities, finding more suitable archives the bot should use, and most importantly, provide tools where users can run the bot on a single page immediately as well queue the bot on a collection of user specified pages. So if the fully autonomous is not desired, these tools can still be a way to allow users to combat link rot.

Why deploy InternetArchiveBot?

[編集]

The IABot project was started when the community wish list survey of 2015 had a proposal to introduce a global bot to repair broken links. The proposal made number 1 on the wishlist and thus this Phabricator ticket was created. This ticket is to track if there is consensus and it's deployment progress on this wiki. As of June of 2017, this project will hit the 2 year mark in its development.

About InternetArchiveBot

[編集]

IABot uses intelligent algorithms to parse wiki text as humanly as possible. That means it will handle formatting differently when inside <ref> tags, as compared to when outside. It's able to detect citation templates and handle those correctly. When inside a reference, provided this Wikipedia uses them, IABot adds {{wayback}} or equivalent appropriate archive templates to plan external links. For unbracketed, or untitled external links, it can convert those to citation templates. When outside of references, IABot can directly replace the external link with an archive URL to avoid disrupting the final rendering of the article. It can still handle citation templates normally. IABot avoids editing URLs inside unknown templates, or URLs hidden inside <nowiki> and HTML comment tags. IABot maintains a massive database of URL metadata that helps it to efficiently do its job. The tools mentioned above can also access this database, where users can immediately fix any issues they discover that IABot will then immediately make use of. Essentially the bot will learn as more users help it to become more reliable. The error rate is very low (<0.01%) of the edits are error prone.

Different configurations of IABot

[編集]

As mentioned above, IABot is very configurable to suit the wiki as needed. IABot is {{nobots}} compliant, and offers a run page in case of malfunction. Because different language Wikipedias have different cultures and work methods, this ideology was considered during IABot's initial development. When IABot is making its run, it can be instructed to make the needed fixes on the main article and report those changes to the talk page. Alternatively, the talk messages can be switched off, or the bot can be instructed to only leave talk messages alerting editors to dead URLs it found on the respective article. IABot can proactively add archive URLs to all URLs, including the non-dead, or simply restrict its changes to the URLs tagged as dead, or even URLs it sees as dead that are untagged. IABot can be instructed to restrict its operations to only links inside <ref> tags or the entire article. A complete description of InternetArchiveBot, including the configuration options can be found at m:InternetArchiveBot.

The big question

[編集]

Would InternetArchiveBot, and/or its tools be a welcomed addition to the Japanese Wikipedia? Keep in mind that if the bot's full autonomy is not desired that these tools exist to give user control over the bot operation. Here are some examples. Showing examples from different wikis to demonstrate the cross wiki compatibility.—CYBERPOWER (会話) 2017年5月8日 (月) 01:55 (UTC)

Fully autonomous edits

[編集]

User summoned bot edits

[編集]

Take note that the edit summaries link to the requesting user for attribution.

Direct page analysis with the tools

[編集]

These are edits made using the single page analysis tool mentioned above. The tool offers some options that are not available when summoning the bot. These options override the wiki set configuration the bot uses when running. Logically these options can be set for single page edits since the edit is made from the user account directly and they are responsible for the edit. Such disruption is harder to manage when the bot is being executed on a collection of pages with disruptive options.

It helps a lot. We are delighted. Thank you so much.--Ysogo（会話） 2017年6月21日 (水) 15:52 (UTC)
Hello. I need an additional hint about Mr. Maeno: in the page linked in your previous answer I have found 前野拓（ひろむ）which is translated to Taku Maeno (Hiromu). May I guess that either Taku is the real name and Hiromu a nickname or viceversa. Can you help me with a suggestion about? --Ysogo（会話） 2017年7月2日 (日) 19:39 (UTC)
Hello, Ysogo. In a nutshell, the online translator you used misread 拓 as "Taku". The parenthetic part （ひろむ）, which is translated into (Hiromu), is added to indicate the reading of 拓 in his name for otherwise you cannot decide how to read and could misread the name as your online translator did. A single kanji, or Chinese character in Japanese language, generally has several readings. In the case of 拓, you may read it as taku, hiraku, hiro, hiroshi etc., but the addition of （ひろむ） makes you read 前野拓 exclusively as Maeno Hiromu (or Hiromu Maeno when you put the family name last).
You can find his name in documents filed by Sendai Space Hall [27] [28] [29].
I hope it will be helpful in understanding it and doing further research. Good luck!--Ryota7906（会話） 2017年7月3日 (月) 11:45 (UTC)

Hi japonese Wikipedia comunity, the user 利用者:キャンサーフリートピア made some edits on portuguese Wikipedia (see [1], [2] and [3]). Searching for him here on jawiki, I checked it that he´s a sock puppet, and this is why I undid the editions. I don´t understand japonese, but I wanna know what that link means; is he a spammer? Why exactly he is block on jawiki? I´m not sure if I must block him on ptwiki. Thanks. --Hume42（会話） 2017年6月26日 (月) 05:05 (UTC)

Yes, he is a spammer using sockpuppet, writing about his political stance about, e.g. Emperor of Japan, in unrelated pages. I see that he is spamming also on other projects like frwiki and zh wiki, so I suggest a global lock rather than blocking locally.--ネイ（会話） 2017年6月26日 (月) 05:52 (UTC)

Request for improvements of two articles

[編集]

Greetings fellow editors. I need your help with two articles I've created, admittedly and to my shame, one of them using machine translation. The first one is about the Romanian minelayer Amiral Murgescu, the most successful Romanian warship in history, and also the largest Romanian-built warship of the Second World War. This is her English article, it's quite large. The article I made for her here (アミラル・ムルゲスク (機雷敷設艦/護衛駆逐艦)) only contains some descriptive text I literally just copied from the source linked at the end of the paragraph. I would like her article to be improved from the English version, her description but especially her service. If any of you would be kind enough to do that, I would be very grateful. Also, for the record, there is a condensed version of her service on my sandbox on this Wiki, just in case her service on the English one is too large. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月11日 (月) 12:55 (UTC)

As for my second request, a small list article (ガラツィ造船所) I created using machine translation. I tried using as little sentences as possible, but it still didn't turn out right. It requires a bit of re-wording. Also, I learned my lesson and stopped using machine translations. This is why I am here, addressing you and asking for your help. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月11日 (月) 12:55 (UTC)

Hi there - may I confirm on which machine translation you are using (e.g. is it Google Translate)? Depending on your answer, some previous versions of the article might need to be deleted. --ネイ（会話） 2017年9月11日 (月) 13:04 (UTC)
ネイ Yes, Google Translate. Seriously though someone please tend to the アミラル・ムルゲスク (機雷敷設艦/護衛駆逐艦) article, it's quite a shame for such a successful warship to have no service history. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月11日 (月) 15:35 (UTC)
UPDATE: I added a very basic activity list on アミラル・ムルゲスク (機雷敷設艦/護衛駆逐艦). This is only a temporary measure, until someone has time to get around and properly translate from her English article. I didn't use machine translation for this one, I actually gathered the words from other pages of the Wiki. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 06:06 (UTC)
I had to request a speedy deletion on the first article because of copyright infringement. As an editor of the English Wikipedia, you should know that plagiarism is not allowed. Please see WP:COPYRIGHT. TranquilHope（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 09:03 (UTC)
TranquilHope Well that's a bit exaggerated. I wasn't intending to keep it that way. Like the very basic activity section (which is all that remains now, along with the infobox) it was a temporary solution until someone would properly translate from her English article. You could be doing that yourself, instead of trying to scrap her. Just saying. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 09:28 (UTC)
Previous versions in the edit history will still have to be deleted per ケースB-1. TranquilHope（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 10:04 (UTC)
TranquilHope Delete away, I recreated her article here already, no copyright trouble: アミラル・ムルゲスク (護衛駆逐艦/機雷敷設艦). Now, if any of you gentlemen could add from her English article, I would be grateful. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 10:21 (UTC)
You are not supposed to create duplicate articles. TranquilHope（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 10:31 (UTC)
TranquilHope Do not worry, I already changed her Wikilink in the several pages she is referenced. The compromised article is now orphaned and ready for deletion. Brown Water Admiral（会話） 2017年9月13日 (水) 10:36 (UTC)
That was a request for revision deletion, not for the deletion of the whole article. The new version has been put up for speedy deletion because you copy and pasted from the original article without attribution. TranquilHope（会話） 2017年9月14日 (木) 08:00 (UTC)

Equestria Girls

[編集]

マイリトルポニー〜トモダチは魔法〜 문서에 My Little Pony: Equestria Girls 장편 여럿이 극장판으로 기재된데다 Friendship Is Magic의 일부로 간주되고 있는데요, 이들은 절대 극장판이 아닙니다. 물론 Equestria Girls 장편 중 처음 몇 편이 미국, 캐나다 등 몇몇 국가에서 Limited release 방식으로 상영된 적이 있습니다만, 이는 정식 상영이 절대 아니며, 해당 장편의 제작을 주도한 Hasbro Studios에서도 모두 일본의 OVA에 해당하는 것으로 취급하고 있습니다. 덤으로 미국에서는 극장 상영 시 (의무는 아닙니다만) MPAA로부터 심의를 받지 않았습니다. 또한, Equestria Girls가 FIM 및 2010년도 MLP 리부트의 스핀오프이긴 합니다만, MLP와 Equestria Girls는 성격도 다르고 노리는 연령대도 다르며, 무엇보다 Equestria Girls에 대한 FIM 팬들에 대한 반감이 아직도 심합니다.

이에 대한 대책으로, 현재의 マイリトルポニー: エクエストリア・ガールズ 문서를 マイリトルポニー: エクエストリア・ガールズ (OVA)로 옮기고, マイリトルポニー〜トモダチは魔法〜 문서에 있는 Equestria Girls 관련 내용을 남김없이 비워 영어판 백과의 My Little Pony: Equestria Girls 문서에 해당하는 マイリトルポニー: エクエストリア・ガールズ 문서를 새로 만들어 그 곳으로 옮길 것을 제안합니다. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 2017年9月23日 (土) 19:35 (UTC)

Brief in English

Argument
  • Just because some of Equestria Girls were screened in American theatres (in a form of Limited release, actually), it does not make them "theatrical films" at all. They are actually a kind of film that is an equivalent of Japanese OVAs. Even Hasbro Studios (which produced Equestria Girls films) admits that the films are "TV Specials", not theatrical films.
  • Even though Equestria Girls is a spin-off of the so-called G4 of My Little Pony franchise (or media mix as you'd like to call it), it has a different nature to Friendship Is Magic, and it targets different age group to the "G4" in general. Furthermore, many fans of FIM are still more hostile towards Equestria Girls.

Requesting Japanese articles on Ryukyuan coins.

[編集]

Hello, I wrote the semi-translations w:en:Ryukyuan mon (English) and w:nl:Riukiuaanse mon (Dutch) which correspond to the Japanese article 天保通宝 and was originally based on it, however the article also lists the coins 大世通宝, 世高通宝, 金円世宝, and 中山通宝 of which there are currently no Japanese language articles. Now this could be because these coins are from Okinawa which wasn’t exactly Japanese until recently and for that reason less people here are interested in writing about them, but as the majority of books written about them are in Japanese and the majority of the sources such as the Ryuukyuu Shimpou are all in Japanese I can only add a limited amount of sources.

Navigating Japanese Wikipedia is easy for me as y’all write a lot in Chinese characters (Kanji), but acquiring the books that cover the subjects of Ancient Ryuukyuuan coins is simply not as easy as a task for a Gaijin such as myself, I know that the Bank of Japan’s bibliography covers these subjects so if anyone is interested if they would write Japanese articles for the redlinks above information 🛈 from those articles could be translated into English and/or Dutch in a positive feedback loop of cross-wiki/inter-wiki article expansions.

PS (Post Script): If anyone has images of the aforementioned Ryuukyuuan coins then please upload them to Wikimedia Commons, excluding the 金円世宝, and 中山通宝 all of these coins are extremely cheap and would only cost a few hundred yen, but they're quite difficult to get your hands on if you live outside of Japan.

The Romanian Navy

[編集]

Greetings, to anyone who might care. For the past...two months I think, I, a complete non-speaker of the language, tried to create articles for the Romanian Navy. This Navy, was arguably the most successful in WW2, sinking 1 large destroyer and 16 submarines, while losing only 1 minelayer, 1 torpedo boat and 2 motor torpedo boats. Furthermore, it is the only Navy to have fought continuously throughout the war, without losing a single ship of its main force of submarines and destroyers. Yet despite all its achievements, here on this Wiki, it is treated almost like it never existed, well not so much anymore since I intervened but still. At first, I tried using machine translation, a very bad move on my behalf. Then, I tried creating list-type articles, but their quality is questionable at best. Thus, I appeal to anyone who might care: Bring this Navy to the attention it deserves. I already found help in two guys, Open-box and ネイ. Their help and understanding of my plight is very much appreciated. I rely on them, and anyone willing, to translate more about the Romanian Navy, from the English Wiki to this one. I seem to be more of a nuisance than help, I am clearly out of place here and made many mistakes. I will stop trying to add new things, however I will cling to what is salvageable and that can be improved, instead of eliminated. I need your help. Not for me, but for this glorious Navy. I will list a few articles below, which should be considered particularly important for translation:

Battles

More important warships

[編集]
  • NMS Constanța - submarine tender, largest purpose-built Romanian warship of WW2
  • NMS Delfinul - first Romanian Navy submarine, the only Axis sub in the Black sea in 1941-1942 and the most successful Romanian sub
  • NMS Năluca - one of the three Romanian torpedo boats, the most notable of them

WikiScienceCompetition 2017

[編集]

Hi! Wiki Science Competition has started, sitenotices have appeared for sure in Spain, Austria, Russian Federation, USA and Ukraine, and Italy will be join very soon with a massive national campaign.

As a member of the academic committee I did my best to reduce the gap between countries both in the composition of the juries and now in the outreach. I did inform many platforms (enwiki, eswiki, frwiki) during the preparation of the event, now I am informing all national institutions, associations and federations of science and technology I can contact, especially those located in countries without national juries (including Japan), I am posting notes on LinkedIn groups everyday, and I am contacting national chapters and user groups.. and so on. That's why I am here.

We prepared banners for many countries but on meta they say it is not wise to use them all, so if you want to use the style and do one here on your wiki for few days, just let us know. In your case the banner is not country-specific so it is generic.

Otherwise, if you have social media and you want to inform your friends and colleagues, the twitter hashtags are #WSC2017, #WikiScience2017, #WikiScience

Thank you in advance and whatever you do (join, inform, ignore) have fun!Alexmar983（会話） 2017年11月4日 (土) 06:07 (UTC)

Accessibility of Japanese Wikipedia in mainland China

[編集]

If needed, please help translate this message into Japanese.

Hi everybody, this is Techyan from Chinese Wikipedia. We have noticed that access to Japanese Wikipedia (ja-two.iwiki.icu) have been blocked in mainland China since the morning of 28 December 2017 (UTC+9). We have confirmed that the internet censorship system in China which against foreign websites called "Great Firewall" (zhwiki, enwiki) blocked Japanese Wikipedia by purposely returning wrong IP addresses when DNS servers trying to translate the domain name ja-two.iwiki.icu, thus users are unable to connect to Wikimedia Foundation's servers and access Japanese Wikipedia. On May 2015, Chinese Wikipedia (zhwiki) has been blocked in mainland China until now, but access to foreign language Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects have not been influenced. In 2017, access to Wu Chinese (wuu), Yue Chinese (zh-yue), and several other variants of Chinese Wikipedia have been blocked as well. Interestingly, Wikipedia projects written in non-Chinese related languages are not being influenced, access to English Wikipedia and most Wikimedia projects has never been influenced for years. But this time, Japanese Wikipedia's blockage seems strange and unreasonable even for us - it is the only Wikipedia being blocked other than Chinese. Also, only desktop version of Japanese Wikipedia has been blocked, while mobile version ja.m.wikipedia.org can be accessed as usual.

This blockage may let the number of visitors from mainland China become much less, but it won't influence Japanese Wikipedia editors currently living in mainland China. Mainland Chinese may turn to use proxies like VPNs to access Japanese Wikipedia, which means that there will be fewer mainland Chinese IPs and more proxy IPs, that may slightly influence CheckUser and anti-vandalism tasks here. Also, users in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are not influenced. This blockage may not affect Japanese Wikipedians too much, but I think it is important to make sure everybody here is informed.

Feel free to contact me by sending emails or just ping me below.
