Land of Hope and Glory

Use five single quotes to both italicize and bold Land of Hope and Glory Cheers Adakiko (talk) 02:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay.

Yeah, so I was just un-bolding the quotation marks. Shelkovitsa (talk) 02:17, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Yeeno (talk) 20:04, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to Japanese adjectives‎

Hello! You recently edited this article, adding lots of templates to mark off the Japanese text. You like userboxes, yet do not have any of the language ones, so I wonder if you can clarify how you came to use this particular template. If you do not know any Japanese you are excused for not realising that the name of the template, eigo, is the Japanese word for "English", which is a bizarre way to indicate that something is Japanese. I started a discussion about this at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Japan#Template:eigo; there is a suggestion that this template could be deleted, and replaced by the template nihongo (which is the Japanese for "Japanese", thus making sense to a Japanese reader). Please add your feedback to the Project Japan page. Thanks! Imaginatorium (talk) 03:27, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Imaginatorium!

Yes, I do know Eigo means "English" and Nihongo means "Japanese." My main reasoning for usage of {{Eigo}} vs. {{Nihongo}} was to mark the Japanese text, and then have the romanization inside the parentheses.

I would have instead used {{Nihongo krt}}, but it isn't actually ordered as kanji, romanization, translation. It's translation, kanji, romanization. {{Eigo}} felt more... fluid(?) to use. Shelkovitsa (talk) 14:41, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please excuse me for the double reply, I'm not too familiar with etiquette when it comes to talk pages!

I do notice that {{Nihongo krt}} properly marks romanizations with Hepburn transliteration, because just putting romanizations in italics is not ideal for accessibility or tagging, as we know. I still find its syntax slightlu unnatural/unflowing for what the template is called. {{Nihongo krt|<english>|<kanji/kana>|<rōmaji>|<extra>|<extra2>}}

{{lang|ja|道}} (''Michi'') 道 (Michi) vs.

{{lang|ja|道}} ({{transl|ja|Michi}}) 道 (Michi) vs.

{{Nihongo krt||道|Michi}} 道 (Michi) vs.

{{Eigo|道|Michi}} 道 (Michi)

But I do, in hindsight, agree that {{Eigo}} was a bad call on my part. I went for the more direct syntax template instead of what is more modularly(?) correct. I will not be using it going forward. Shelkovitsa (talk) 15:51, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
