Re:IJA Divisions
Fair enough - would "Nth Division (Imperial Japanese Army) be an acceptable solution? The parenthetical disambiguation is preferred, and I would like to avoid using initialisms such as "IJA". Carom 05:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

- I agree, it should not have been moved back. The concern you identify about being difficult to find is precisely what redirects are for (and a redirect was created automatically when I moved the article to the macron version of the title). A user will have no trouble finding this article just because the title contains macrons, even if it is the first letter.-Jefu 01:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Sources section Tashkent (Pakhtakor Incident)
Could you please tell which sources you used for this section? As it has been listed as 'POV' on the talkpage --Hardscarf 09:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Since the Pakhtakor Incident occured during Soviet times, when outside reporting was strictly forbidden, and Tashkent was a closed city due to the recent earthquake disaster, contemporary published accounts of the rioting are very sketchy. World Policy Journal (March 22 2002) http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-86744639.html, as some information, and the Lonely Planet Guidebook to Central Asia makes a brief comment. --MChew 16:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

The Barnstar of High Culture | |
| For taking on the challenge of expanding and vastly improving upon Wikipedia's coverage of Japanese painting. Such broad topics demand a lot of work and attention, and this is a crucial step towards improving the 'pedia's currently rather weak coverage of East Asian art topics. LordAmeth 09:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC) |
I don't know if there's some sort of taboo against the same editor handing out multiple awards to the same person, but I think you deserve it for this. The 'pedia's coverage of artistic topics, particularly non-Western topics is rather poor, and these sorts of majorly broad topics, I must admit, rather intimidate me. There's just too much to say, too much to make sure you include, while still being balanced, and I think you've done a fine job. Japanese painting is a page likely to receive a lot of hits, probably just as much as Japanese art or Ukiyo-e, maybe more, and ought to be good. Thanks a lot for that. I kind of wish I'd given you the Chevrons earlier so I could give you the Barnsensu now, but... given your track record, I'm sure you'll be earning a Chevrons soon anyway. Keep up the good work! Cheers. LordAmeth 09:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I came to thank you, but I see LordAmeth has attacked at dawn as usual & beaten me to it. Nice work! As he says, it's all too often the big arts articles which are the weakest.Johnbod 12:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Your Japanese cruiser articles
I've noticed that you've written and greatly expanded a number of articles about Japanese cruisers lately. I'm stunned by the quality of the articles and how well-sourced they are right off the bat. Good job! I'm writing to ask if you'd consider using an infobox template for the infoboxes of future articles. Templates allow us to standardize the appearance of all infoboxes and they can be easier to understand than looking at Wiki table syntax. You can read about the one that
- I'm sorry, I just realized that you've been working on many of these articles over the course of a year and when you created them we didn't have standard infoboxes. I just glanced at the article histories without noticing the years. I'm definitely not asking you to convert previously written articles to some new infobox format.
- I do see that you just wrote the excellent Asama class cruiserarticle over the course of the past week and a half, and we do have templates specifically for use on class articles, but we're discussing creating a new one and so I don't want to recommend that you use one that might be obsolete in a week!
- Please disregard just about everything I've said so far ;-) Let me start over: You seem to have an interest in ships, and you've done awesome work. Would you care to join us at WikiProject Ships? TomTheHand 21:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The Golden Rendezvous, Article name
This article has recently been moved to "(novel)" for no consistent reason. I will not revert this but do please bear in mind that there is no need for Disambiguation name consistency apart from, if it is a novel then if a disambig name is needed then (novel) is what we use. Particularly in that the novel was the original form of the work it is quite sufficient to use "The Golden Rendezvous". The Golden Rendezvous even currently redirects to the novel. Have a look at the relevant pages on article naming and the use of Dab pages. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
