Past communication 1

If you are here to inform me of the status of deletion-issues on certain image files (related to Japanese prefectures), I appreciate your help very much.

And I would appreciate if you can inform me (and others) about the following.

1. which Wikipedia you are talking about.
2. if discussion has been initiated
3. if any concensus has been reached (if so, deletion or not)
4. if any action was taken (keeping them as they are, adding some notes, or deleting)
5. if there is any question to be answered, or help needed.

I'm not sure whether you received my mails or not, so i prefer posting here...
On fr: it was decided to remove all japanese prefecture logos, so they were removed. Hopefully all, but we may have missed some, in which case we'll remove'em when we find'em.

I received your email, and replied thankfully. Merci beaucoup. :) Tomos 20:07, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi, Tomos-san. Thank you for your correction of Meta:Metaページ内での多言語間リンク. My translation was terrible $-{. I try my best next. Thanks again, Electric goat 15:35, 21 May 2004 (UTC) Reply

No, your work was quite good, and I thank you for that :) . If you see what I did, it was mostly about word choice, etc. I also found that your method of keeping the English withing comment blacket was really helpful. Tomos 18:39, 21 May 2004 (UTC) Reply

Hi Tomos, thanks for your kind words! I hope you will add more Japanese to your user and talk pages here on meta: / do more of your wikimedia-wide writing here (and link to it from your user pages on en/ja). Just a moment ago, I came and thought there was no japanese on your user page... I'm using Netscape 4.x, and it was cutting off at your first < hr> !

I am also excited to see that e-Goat is adding to some of the interlingual pages... Sj 07:25, 22 May 2004 (UTC) rReply

Hi, Sj. It is my hope and intention to contribute to the interlingual ties. Other japanese wikipedians, e-Goat, KIZU, and G may work here from time to time, I think. That's good. I also have several ideas of what I would like to do, so stay tuned :) Tomos 00:10, 23 May 2004 (UTC) Reply

Hello again! Please revisit Talk:Wikimedia_Fundraising_page when you have a moment and start a japanese translation. See the links at the top (you will need to rename the linked-to page appropriately). +sj+ 09:43, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, Sj. I have finished the first draft now. Tomos 22:11, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion. Most of the filler text is a standard body of latin text used by printers to help fill out a layout before there is real content. It even has an article about it... w:Lorem ipsum (-: . It would be helpful to translate just the title and section-headers of the newsletter, to make it easier for others to translate bits of it. (I'm adding that to the translation page now.) +sj+ 21:28, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Silly me. I figured that out only after I left wikipedia. Thanks for your work on this. The format looks really neat. Tomos 04:52, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

ええ、まあ日本語で。 ときどき英語版からの画像持込でもめる「フェアユース」の概念についても、記述があると嬉しいと思いました。すでに日本語版の議論で二三言及があるようですが、わたくし自身が参加する以前の議論であることもあって追いきれておりません。KIZU 06:26, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

ここはメタなので日本語も推奨でしょう。:)

この間作成したページは、ウィキペディアのコンテクストに限定せず、日本の著作権法と文章の執筆のみを考えて書いた文書です。英語版などからのコンテンツの輸入についてはまた別途考えてみようかと思ってます。端的に言えば日本法の文脈では通用しないということに尽きるのですが。。Tomos 03:21, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

We appear to have some problems with paedophiles using Wikipedia to promote their "we're harmless" stance on child rape. Can you go to

Thank you for the notice, and sorry for the late responce. I did a little research on that and wrote some comments here: en:Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Fumoto no iro. Hope it helps. Tomos 11:37, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Tomos-san. 新しいアップロードフォーム用の翻訳を行ったのですが、それについていくつかお願いと質問があります。see Translation/New upload form

1. まず法的な文章に慣れていないので、いくつか適切な訳語が思い付きませんでした。査読と推敲をしていただけますでしょうか。英語版の原文はコメントアウトして残してあります。
2. それからフェアユースは日本語版ではダメ、と変更したほうが良いのかなと思いましたが、どう思われますか?
3. 最後に、ja:Wikipedia:著作権以外に、パブリックドメイン、GFDL、コモンズ、フェアユースなどのウィキメディアでの実際について、まとめて説明したページを整備する必要があるのかなと思いました。これはまあ、思っただけですが (^^;;

e-Goat 00:55, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

いつもありがとうございます。^^) さっそくやってみます。と、ずいぶん前のリクエストですね。。最近ちょっといろいろな事情で時間がありませんでした、せっかくお知らせ頂いていたのにすみません。Kzhrさんの推敲も入っているようですし、余りやることは残っていないかも知れませんが、これから見てみます。Tomos 11:41, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi. I just found there is no licience page on ja.wikt.:D Today I just make [1] & [2] . Plz see the histry how to do it. And I advice you to make same page on wikt,and protect it. Thanx. --02:34, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

了解です。お知らせありがとうございました。:) Tomos 00:48, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Pronunciation of taw in pseudo-English would be tav.

Pronunciation of Tomasz Węgrzanowski would be approximately TOH mash ven gzha NOV skee (accented sylables uppercase; by zh I mean a sound like in usual, not like jam; that ng it's not like the English ng, actually ę is a single sound, but pronouncing it separately en is close enough), almost completely impossible for a Japanese (or other non-Polish) to pronounce properly ;-)

In Japanese it'd be something like タヴ and トマシュ ヴェングジャノヴスキ (I'm not sure about the シュ, lone シ sounds even weirder; should the order of the first and family name be reversed ?).

Does it help ? --Taw

Wow. I never expected that you would write in Katakana! Yes, it is a tremendous help, indeed. I could never have guessed it right. In terms of the order of names, we generally follow the order of the person's language. For Polish, English, and many other names, first name first. For Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and some others, family name comes first. :-) Tomos 23:54, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello and thank you Tomasz. and Tomos, also thank you for your effort for translations. :) I'm hesitated to worry you, since you seem to be very busy, but if you give a look to the Japanese project part of Reports/October 2004/Wikipedia and correct my mistakes and misundertanding on issues, it would be helpful for us all. If possible, would you like to make a report on Japanese Wiktionary? In both cases, don't forget your signatures. As for Wikipedia reports elian and I discussed on possible translations; it would be helpful we have some reports from major projects in Japanese and put them on Japanese Wikipedia. Your comment will be appliciated. Cheers. (なりゆきで英語です...) --Aphaia 01:47, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

My pleasure. Would you please review changes I made? Regarding Wiktionary, I would solicit others to make it. Thanks, Tomos 21:06, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Surely. Thank you for your addtion. You've illustrated the going-on issue in details. you made it more informative. Well, as far as I know, major Wikipdia projects finished their reports. How would you think to let the JA community those reports now? Or it would better to prepare translation at least of some major projects? --Aphaia 01:31, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi Tomos-san, I wrote a short report at Reports/October 2004/Wiktionary. Could you check and correct it if English (or content) is wrong? Regards, e-Goat 11:42, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I couldn't find much to correct, but I tried. Tomos 16:15, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

hi Neha here is there by any chance i can speak with on yahoo?

please ping me nehavish@yahoo

talking here is a little difficult...

Okay. I'll try. Tomos 11:45, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

あしらのノートにひとつリファクタリングの提案を差し上げました。ご意見をいただけますか? 賛成してくださるのならリファクタリングは私がいたします。(あと要約にひとつ追加をしました。やや見づらいかもしれませんが最後の部分にあります)。--Aphaia | WQ2翻訳中 | talk 22:54, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hope you'll visit Wikijunior project Nikki/Kiki character designs to discuss who's design is best. I've found a dozen talented people to create designs. -- user:zanimum

this is Cathy from Hong Kong working on a research about trust on Wikipedia. I wonder if you would kindly contact me at researchingmedia@gmail.com? I'd like to chat with you about Wikipedia of your language. Would you kindly drop me your email or IM (Skype, MSN, AIM or ICQ)? It wouldn't take more than ten minutes, but it would help enormously for us to understand the overall trust-based social landscape of Wikipedia. domo!

Greetings, Tomos-san: How does one learn Japanese online? cello777@hotmail.com

Dear Sir or Madam:

I apologize for bothering you, but I really feel like I am getting pushed off of the Japanese board. If you have time, I would be very grateful if you could look at the discussion at ja:ノート:ウクライナ正教会. I know that non-native speakers are welcome on the English Wikipedia.

I keep thinking that we are reaching a consensus, but then everything explodes again.

I know that you would prefer not to provide an opinion, and I can respect that, but perhaps, if this issue has come up before, you could point out where so that all of us involved could learn how this has been handled on the Japanese Wiki.

I apologize for dragging you into this ugly mess, but I do hope that somehow it will work out well for Japanese Wiki in the end.211.19.217.217 11:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC) Reply
