As a bureaucrat, would you consider assessing the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Changing the Requests for Bureaucratship promotion threshold?? The request at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard/Archive 22#RFB Promotion Threshold for a bureaucrat to close the discussion has not been addressed.

Nihonjoe, I have a euphoric announcementSalutations, Nihonjoe!!! I hope that you are doing well for yourself because I have some good news . . . I am about to release an episode synopsis page out into the Wikipedia ether that I have exerted a gargantuan effort toward -- far more than what I have done with any of my other brain-children. Look forward to it!!! Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 05:54, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Postscript -- this will lead you to my brain-child; please try to be gentle with it (^_^) Dairi no Kenkyo (talk) 06:01, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
(Stumbles around dizzily and tries to recover himself) . . . Wow, that was fast!!!Nihonjoe: Glad that you took me up on my invitation! I am having a hard time coming to grips with how it only took you eight minutes to respond; were you hanging around on Wikipedia or something? Anyway, what do you think of my latest creation?

Pro-WikipediaPlease help me think through a strategy to combat the contrived appearance of an WP:edit war. I propose to use words like this in all future edit summaries at Senkaku Islands and Senkaku Islands dispute:
Please consider this pair of edits at Senkaku Islands dispute:
The edit summary of Lvhis is an example of Framing (social science). IMO, we need to reject the false dilemma. Do you understand the meaning of the logical fallacy in a "false dilemma"? Lvhis sets up a misleading pro vs con schema. A better strategy is to emphasize a "pro-Wikipedia" foundation -- that is, to underscore that edits are not
In point of fact, an extensive edit history informs my belief that Oda Mari's interests are demonstrably "pro-Wikipedia" .... The first and foremost question is: What is best for the long-term prospects of our collaborative editing project? What do you think? --Tenmei (talk) 18:21, 19 July 2011 (UTC) SignatureHi, Nihonjoe; I just saw your comment at WP:BN and noticed that your signature seemed rather long: indeed it appears to be 355 characters, although WP:SIG specifies a maximum length of 255 characters. I feel slightly bad because it genuinely looks cool, but do you think you could see your way to paring it down slightly? Thanks, ╟─TreasuryTag►prorogation─╢ 15:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Should these be deleted too?Was browsing the 'what links here' on a page, and I was wondering if these should be expunged too? --Malkinann (talk) 07:48, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Ⓧ, Ⓨ, Ⓛ et al.Hi there. I noticed you reverted my edit on Japanese typographic symbols (I confess removing it altogether wasn't really appropriate). What I was referring with "disputable" is a contribution on the talk page (I believe you can read, so I don't have to explain it). I don't know much about the Japanese language and even less about local habits, usage of symbols and such. I assume you know much, much more about these things than I do (looking at your user page and considering I don't have any CDs with Ⓧ or Ⓨ on them). Hence I'd be really grateful if you could make this topic clear in the article. Thanks in advance. –Matěj Grabovský (talk) 18:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
Your responseHello, I hate to intrude, but I could not find your response to me, I think I already know what it is, but I would just like to have it, If you could please send it to my talk page or do it here, I would appreciate it, thank you. — Phoenix K. (talk) 12:52, 31 July 2011 (PDT)
Abandashake usernameHi, Nihonjoe. I was asking to change the name "Abandashake" to "AbaNDaSHAKE". You responded it is impossible because it is a name of a group, but it is me - one person, an author, songwriter and performer, official representative, so, please, change the username to "AbaNDaSHAKE" considering it to be my individual nickname.

Blue links and red links in DAB pagesWhat the MOS:DAB says is: "Each entry should have exactly one navigable (blue) link to efficiently guide readers to the most relevant article for that use of the ambiguous term." An item without any blue link does not belong in the list. While a red link may be allowed, there must also be a relevant blue link for that item, one that links to an article that provides information/context for the subject of the item. A blue link to another article that also just mentions the man's name would not be sufficient. Please include such a relevant blue link in the item, or revert yourself. -- Donald Albury 14:45, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Dragon Quest: Dai no DaibōkenI could use some help for figuring out the English translations for Derupa! Iruiru! and Dai Bakuhatsu!!!, the first two mini-series titles that spawned the manga's series. There are some scans of it on the net, if you don't have access to it. If need be, I can email you a link. I haven't found anyone whose tried to translate the mini-series titles. Thanks.陣内Jinnai 18:45, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Untimely deletionThe deletion of the Senkaku Islands mediation threads was unexpected. For me, the surprise was untimely. I hope that Feezo will be willing to explain this edit:
In order help make this possible, I have created a new sub-page. Please recreate copies of these useful diffs at User:Tenmei/Sandbox-Archive 1 --Tenmei (talk) 22:25, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Possible return of sockpuppetPer this page I see you were involved in the WP:RTV of User:Garydubh a prolific sockpuppet. Unfortunately the archive of his sock investigations has been blanked but I see the similar editing style to two of the same articles Postal codes in the Republic of Ireland and Republic of Ireland postal addresses where he was posting information that involves his own company "GPS Ireland" by Special:Contributions/92.251.232.179, in this case tempered by adding other information. I was not made aware of, but later found out about the WP:RTV request and due to the sockpuppetry I would have not been in favour of the RTV and certainly not of the blanking of his history. Not being familiar with the RTV process, I doubt I can easily identify what were his edits to these articles because we can't refer to the usernames and IP addresses used for socking. Anyway, can you advise on this before I start a new sock investigation? ww2censor (talk) 03:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

AnyhowI apologize for seeming harsh, but, I often have my patience worn thin by assorted wikidramas. Like, last night for instance, I was dealing with an editor on Talk:Behemoth who was insisting that a link to Fenrir be posted on the page because he thought the two beasts were similar. And it wasn't until I closed that thread that the editor understood that there needs to be other material beyond his own personal assertions to justify such an edit. I apologize for making that hypocrisy remark, I made a mistake, but, I wound up being admonished, while the anonymous editor is apparently content to be unable to go a single edit without making rude commentaries.--Mr Fink (talk) 01:39, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Your DYK nom for Tosa Yamauchi Family Treasury and ArchivesHi Nihonjoe, I have reviewed your nomination for Tosa Yamauchi Family Treasury and Archives at Template:Did you know nominations/Tosa Yamauchi Family Treasury and Archives and have a concern about notability.

DYK for KichōPrevious edit-warsHi Nihonjoe. I recall you were the admin who protected Senkaku Islands and Senkaku Islands dispute numerous times in the past due to edit-wars. Recently, some editors in that article started an arbitration [2] and I wonder if you can offer a short statement on your involvement with the protection. |
