Women in Red

Hi there, Theomached, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have created your first women's biography and I now look forward to many more. As a new contributor, you should find it interesting to look at our Essays, perhaps starting with our Ten Simple Rules. As you are have been editing on Japan, you might find some interesting candidates on our Redlist index under Japan. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Finding typos

It is very easy to locate typos, especially for those articles that are less viewed or the typo is in an area that easily can be passed over. I use the search tool to identify the general string ("orange") but in order to get it to bring up more than the article on orange i search "orang e" then go thru a process of eliminating a character in each search. Whereever that string appears it comes up as a hit. It may seem time consuming but it really is the only surefire way to find the obscure. What I find with this technique is those instances when the last character of a string may be separated by coding. After going through the character removal then I transpose characters to find those instances that the typo is a real typo: "roange", "oarnge" etc. Where this is helpful in locating are those instances where the typo is part of a link as it can easily be overlooked the string being readlined by the editing tool in the internet: "oarnge. Like i said a bit time consuming but it does get to the obscure that otherwise may never be detected. Hope that is a useful explanation. I always do it when i come across a edit has been done to an article regarding typos as they are never one off's. Also in those instances when an overwhelming amount of hits happen I review to see what common trait can be used to eliminate those hits that are "sic". What i wish was possible on the search was including a search using punctuation or coding characters which would especially help identifying style inconsistences such as dates.2603:8000:D300:3650:4C1D:B062:2D04:9F66 (talk) 02:43, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Sankebetsu brown bear incident

Please, can you help me with these Japanese translations? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.54.233.200 (talk) 14:22, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for Moritake Kimura. Please, when you'll have conclude its creation, can you do even the other four: User:Ayakanaa/Yellow Fangs, User:Ayakanaa/Heikichi Yamamoto, User:Ayakanaa/Harutoshi Ōkawa, and User:Ayakanaa/Mika Muramatsu? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.116.93 (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi IP. I don't think Kimura is notable per Wikipedia guidelines (WP:NAUTHOR). I found this about one of his books. The one source we have right now is an interview, and I can only find other interviews: this and this (which verifies a lot of his biography but doesn't establish notability). If you can find sources that fit WP:GNG and establish notability for him, I can help translate, but I would find it very difficult to write an article on my own especially at this point. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:28, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
I'll search for Kimura, but in the meantime can you translate the other four? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.144.17 (talk) 21:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi IP, I worked on Yellow Fangs here. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 22:43, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
All details in English about that incident and the related characters you can find there: 1, 2, 3, 4. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.5.214.154 (talk) 11:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
WP:USERGEN so we can't cite it directly but it's a useful translation. My concern is page numbers when citing though. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 16:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
For Moritake Kimura you must complete "Co-author" and "Reference books", and "Selected books" with the remaining two books. For Yellow Fangs "Cast and characters", "Staff", and "External links". I've already prepared there the Japanese to be translated.
Hi IP. For Moritake Kimura, the reference book and co-authored book just go in selected works, there's no need for a new section. As for Yellow Fangs, I don't think the miscellaneous cast members with unknown roles are needed. The staff section is also unnecessary. I also don't think all of the external links there right now are necessary; it's en-wiki, AllMovie and IMDb are enough. Refer to WP:MOSFILM, which I previously linked in an edit summary. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 02:32, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
I've corrected as you've requested, then you could create these two voices and begin the other three. Thank you very much. --82.53.6.137 11:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm waiting an answer from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.172.69 (talk) 20:57, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been busy. I started Mika Muramutsu's page here. It doesn't have any references right now so if you could add some that would be great. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 00:12, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Ok, but don't forget to create Moritake Kimura, Yellow Fangs, and Mika Muramatsu after my edits. 87.8.56.224 (talk) 07:04, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
For the pages to be moved to mainspace, it's necessary above anything else to establish notability through Wikipedia's standards. Currently, you haven't established notability for any of those articles (through WP:NAUTHOR, WP:NFILM, and WP:NACTOR respectively). What you need to do for each page can be seen in those links. Until you have established notability for each subject, I won't move them to mainspace. (P.S. Have you considered making an account?) ayakanaa ( t · c ) 14:39, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Mika Muramatsu is a famous Japanese actress, with main roles in various movies and series; Yellow Fangs is a famous Japanese movie modeled after a real-life event; Moritake Kimura is famous for his researches about Sankebetsu brown bear incident. 193.207.203.195 (talk) 16:07, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Heikichi Yamamoto and Haruyoshi Okawa are both famous Japanese bears hunters, who appear in many movies, series, and comics. 193.207.203.195 (talk) 16:12, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't think you understand what I mean. Notability according to Wikipedia guidelines and notability outside of Wikipedia are different. What you said does not establish notability for the subjects. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 16:21, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

But since they're notables for ja.wiki... 193.207.203.195 (talk) 16:31, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
The cast and production of Yellow Fangs have that link in their own pages, just like Sankebetsu brown bear incident; Mika Muramatsu link is in that movie and also in the real-life event; Moritake Kimura link is in Sankebetsu brown bear incident. 193.207.203.195 (talk) 16:41, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
The English Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia have different guidelines. Something having an article in the Japanese Wikipedia does not warrant an English Wikipedia article. Something being mentioned in another article also doesn't warrant an individual article either. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 17:29, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
With my last reply I meant the English and not Japanese Wikipedia. 193.207.177.251 (talk) 17:32, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm aware, I was referring to the English Wikipedia. Something being mentioned in another article doesn't warrant an individual article. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 17:37, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
For Heikichi Yamamoto and Haruyoshi Okawa, their links are already in English Wikipedia of that incident, and they will be in their respective pages when you'll translated them. 193.207.177.251 (talk) 17:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
WP:RED. Again, a mention doesn't warrant an article. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 17:42, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
I've searched reliable sources for Moritake Kimura, Yellow Fangs, and Mika Muramatsu, and edit them on "External links". 79.21.31.4 (talk) 19:54, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
These could be useful for the articles but do not establish notability. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 20:39, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Then can you translate the remaining two? In the meantime I search for notability. 79.21.31.4 (talk) 21:11, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11519015, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11523318, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q24845406, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22124711, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11348469 79.16.108.58 (talk) 10:10, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Wikidata doesn’t help establish notability. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm trying to help you in many ways, but if it's not good yet, can you search even you for notability? 193.207.180.197 (talk) 21:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Muramatsu hasn't had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions, so she's not notable by Wikipedia's standards (WP:NACTOR). It's highly unlikely she fulfills WP:BASIC so I think this is a hopeless case.
Kimura is possibly notable as an author (see point 3 of WP:AUTHOR). Find multiple independent periodical articles or reviews where one of his works is the primary subject. (I'm specifically mentioning point 3 because, from what I saw translating, the other points don't apply. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
For Yellow Fang, find sources that fulfill WP:NFSOURCES.
Yamamoto and Ōkawa could be notable but at first glance they don't seem to fulfill WP:BASIC; look for sources that fulfill the requirements there.
Searching in Japanese and running the content through an online translator to see if it fulfills the guidelines I linked could help. If you can't find sources, they probably aren't notable, so you should consider giving up. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 00:18, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
I'll search. In the meantime, can you begin to translate Yamamoto and Okawa? 193.207.173.24 (talk) 05:53, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
I've finished translating Haruyoshi Ōkawa (in mainspace) and Heikichi Yamamoto. Now you're on your own, kid. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 22:00, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
For Yamamoto, can you control the Japanese Taisho year below in his image if it's correct? 193.207.141.184 (talk) 18:33, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Fixed. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:47, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
I've gone and moved all of the userspace translations to the Draft namespace so you can work on them on your own. Also, please be aware that the Japanese Wikipedia and English Wikipedia have different standards and styles; the phrasing differences in Ōkawa's article that you "fixed" were conscious decisions I made while translating. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

The Japanese sources about Okawa's son are these: https://ameblo.jp/0268160/entry-10976655772.html, https://ameblo.jp/0268160/entry-10974512860.html, http://www.asahi.com/area/hokkaido/articles/MTW20151217011480001.html, http://www.rumoifan.net/hito/090930hayasisan.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.117.216 (talk) 20:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

The Ameblo sources are blogs, so WP:USERGEN and unreliable in this case. Most importantly, you must cite in the article, not the edit summary. Also, please stop replacing the en-dashes with hyphens. See WP:DASH, the en-dashes are correct. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 20:29, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Devon Levi

Hey Ayakanaa and welcome to Wikipedia. I want to first thank you for all the awesome work I've seen you do around Wiki. I am only sending you this message so you'll know in the future. In regards to your edit on Devon Levi here, you absolutely did the right thing re: formatting. However, it is very likely that image is "stolen" (ie. didn't get copyright permission). As you can see here, the IP did the same thing to another page and it got deleted. In the future, I would be hesitant upon seeing professional style headshots being uploaded in general. It is always a good idea to check Wikimedia Commons and see where the image came from. Despite it being (imo) very clearly laid out in the instructions, people still do stuff like this. Feel free to drop by my page or ping me if you have any questions in the future. Always happy to help . HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:51, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I made the edit while going through Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. I have little knowledge about image copyright (I learned how to upload album cover art recently!) so thank you for the advice, I will keep this in mind in the future. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 23:02, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
@HickoryOughtShirt?4: Oops, just saw your talk page and realized I forgot to ping! I hope you are having a good day ayakanaa ( t · c ) 23:07, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I've completed it with all info and reliable sources that I've found. Can you create her own pages? Thank you.

I've already let you know that it's unlikely that she's notable enough. Also, please read (and digest) the reviewer's comments. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 07:21, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Otaru glass industry

Please, can you help me to find more info about the life of Hisakichi Asahara (浅原久吉): birth, family, career, death, etc.? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.54.216.75 (talk) 12:27, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

First, he started at a glass factory in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka, then was an apprentice at a glass factory in Osaka, then moved to Hakodate after his senior craftsman became "independent" (started his own company/factory probably?) per his great-grandson for the Otaru Tourism Association. In 1903 (Meiji 36; his great-grandson clarified in the previous source that some sources give it as 1900, but according to the family tree his grandfather compiled it's 1903) in Tomioka, Otaru, he founded Asahara Glass, which manufactured lamps and medication bottles. After receiving a manufacturing request from the Fisheries Research Institute, in 1908, he invented glass "floating balls" (浮き玉, ukidama) (literal translation, there might be a technical term for it) which contributed to herring and northern sea fishing. He then taught the manufacturing method to his relatives, expanding his company across Hokkaido. However, business gradually declined because of the use of plastic floats (per unga plus, a store in Otaru). The Otaru Tourism Association has several articles with some information on him, like here and here. For personal details, I'm having difficulty finding anything.
If you're planning to create an article about him, it doesn't look like he fulfills WP:GNG so it would be a waste of time, and if it's just for the expansion of Otaru, WP:RELEVANCE would be a relevant read. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 19:48, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I wanted to add more info about him in the story of Otaru. Can you continue to search about his birth and death? 193.207.145.175 (talk) 22:46, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Per WP:RELEVANCE, I don't think his birth and death dates are necessary for an article about Otaru. What I summarized above alongside the information in the sources should be more than enough. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 23:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
Ok, but in any case can you search those info, so I can only know them? 193.207.145.250 (talk) 23:05, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I'm not finding anything about his personal life, other than his progeny who succeeded him as owners of Asahara Glass. (per here second generation, in 1950: Torao Asahara; third, in 1967: Yōji Asahara; fourth generation, in September 2007, current owner: Saiichirō Asahara. Saiichirō Asahara is confirmed to have become owner after the third generation owner passed away, but you can't determine other death dates from the succession years.) ayakanaa ( t · c ) 23:24, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
You can use this Japanese article (page 7) or this video about him for a research. 80.181.182.165 (talk) 10:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
The article (looks like an elementary school textbook) is mostly about the process of making aforementioned glass floating balls (interview with Saiichirō Asahara) and glass in Otaru (called a "glass town"); no mention of personal details. The video also only briefly mentions Hisakichi Asahara as the first-generation owner. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:05, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

It looks like Ume (?) Glass. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Can you control if in Otaru really exist a glass factory with a similar name? The first air of that episode was at the ending of 2003. It's surely Ume. 193.207.207.50 (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Looking at glass businesses in Otaru, I'm not finding anything similar to Ume or Tsume. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 19:27, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Yoshitsune story

Utsubo is a fictional character invented by Genzō Murakami for his novels "Minamoto no Yoshitsune", appearing also in some TV series and movies about Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Can you help me to find some sites about her detailed story in the novel and in the other versions, also in Japanese? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.181.182.165 (talk) 13:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

With all due respect, I'm not your Japanese translator or researcher. It's not hard to look it up in Japanese and use a machine translator to get an idea of what sites say (and really, considering how you translated material I intentionally omitted while working on articles related to the Sankebetsu incident, I believe you're more than capable). However, I would still be open to clarifying anything to the best of my ability. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:19, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
Ok, sorry. Bit can you search in any case? 193.207.207.50 (talk) 18:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
No thank you. If you have specific sources that you would like me to help with, I can translate, but I don't want to research this. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 22:46, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
These are all specific sources I've found: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. If you can translate them, please, do it in my talk page. You can use "うつぼ" to find the parts about her. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.244.71.164 (talk) 11:02, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Which talk page? Since your IP changes frequently, I suggest you make an account (there are many other benefits) ayakanaa ( t · c ) 20:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Also, what is this even for? I'm not seeing any articles where this information would be relevant, have I missed something? ayakanaa ( t · c ) 20:33, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
The parts of those sites who talk about Utsubo. You can translate here, just like the parts for Otaru before. 193.207.220.43 (talk) 22:38, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
You haven't answered my question: what is this for? What articles is this going to contribute to? ayakanaa ( t · c ) 22:42, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
I'm only interested to Utsubo's story, then... 193.207.220.43 (talk) 22:50, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Then, a machine translation should be sufficient. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 23:07, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Yellow Fangs

Can you upload an image of the film poster (it's made so for a search), or maybe this screenshot of Yuki with Eiji? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.53.29.236 (talk) 16:03, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Uploaded the poster at File:Yellow Fangs.jpg from a different source. (Can I interest you in creating an account so you can upload these yourself?) ayakanaa ( t · c ) 18:30, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you, but this image is too little. Can you find another with a very big format? Moreover, just like the one in that site I've edit before, without the Japanese title which a little covered the protagonists. 193.207.150.170 (talk) 18:56, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
It's supposed to be too little because it needs to qualify under fair use. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 19:00, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Ok, but one without the title with fair use? 193.207.163.8 (talk) 19:07, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Why does that matter? The purpose is as a visual identifier for the article, and the current one fulfills that purpose. The protagonists' legs being slightly covered doesn't affect that. ayakanaa ( t · c ) 19:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Happy New Year

Hello @Ayakanaa:

  • I wanna wish you a Happy New Year!
  • Ich wünsche dir einen guten Start ins neue Jahr!
  • あけましておめでとう (Akemashite omedetō)

Sorry, my Japanese stopped after half a year. I hope that 2024 will be an amazing year for you! :-)

Kindest regards --Goroth (talk) 15:50, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Happy New Year to you as well @Goroth (I did a couple months of German on Duolingo, of questionable quality. Didn't get to learning how to say Happy New Year though, but now I know! Ich wünsche dir einen guten Start ins neue Jahr!) ayakanaa ( t · c ) 19:21, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
We, in Germany have different ways to wish a happy new year:
  • Ich wünsche dir ein frohes neues Jahr (literally meaning: I wish you a happy new year)
  • Ich wünsche dir einen guten Start ins neue Jahr (I wish you a good start of the new year)
  • Ich wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr (which would be literally translated as "to wish somebody a good slide", meaning to wish a happy new year)
The last one is a common saying in Germany but it is unclear how it came into our language. There are several theories on the background of that saying. --Goroth (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Oh wow, that's interesting! Well, I wish you a good slide of the New Year: Ich wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr ayakanaa ( t · c ) 20:06, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very much. :-) Goroth (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
