Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Japanese Resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Japanese Resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

Japanese Resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II

Hi Greg you article Japanese Resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II is looking good. At the moment there are way too many images for the amount of text, can you expand it any more? Don't give up its a good start. Consider making it into a list type article if you can not expand the text much more. Jim Sweeney (talk) 09:33, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

External Links

While your contributions to Japanese resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II are invaluable, you do not seem to be aware that Wikipedia has a method of internal links. Internal links avoid clutter because they do not have an icon that is present in external links.
[http://www.wiki.x.io/wiki/Main_Page Main Page] vs [[Main Page]]
produces
Main Page vs Main Page
where the first link is external and the second one is inline. If you feel link you need help with Wikicode, please see Help:Cheatsheet or ask me on my talk page. Again, thanks for your contributions. CarnivorousBunny^{talk • contribs} 02:09, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

The External Links Problem

Change Article Title

Anyone know any names that could get more views? Also an example on how to change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg723 (talk • contribs) 10:26, 17 January 2014‎ (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- 70.24.244.161 (talk) 06:00, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Japanese resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 02:05, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Japanese resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 07:26, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm DAJF. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Japanese resistance to the Empire of Japan in World War II without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! DAJF (talk) 00:21, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Kanzo Uchiyama. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 02:16, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Wataru Kaji, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 04:26, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I will stop but I must warn you about the source

I'm not sure if http://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/bitstream/handle/2152/21814/KATO-DISSERTATION-2013.pdf?sequence=1, a dissertation is a reliable source or not. I just was trying to take a source I wonder is unreliable, or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg723 (talk • contribs) 04:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, that's something that can be discussed, ideally on the article's Talk page, but please don't just remove apparently valid material without any explanation. That can be construed as vandalism. Also, please remember to sign comments using four tildes (~~~~). Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 04:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay So is the dissertation...

a reliable source, or is it best to use a work that was published, or created by a respected publisher, or proffesor in the field.(Greg723 (talk) 04:57, 5 February 2014 (UTC)).(Greg723 (talk) 05:00, 5 February 2014 (UTC)).

About using the "Edit summary" and "Preview" buttons

Hi again. Sorry if it sounds like I'm badgering you, but there's actually normally no need to paste chunks of text on the article Talk pages each time you remove material from the article. What you do however need to do is make sure you include a brief summary of why you are removing (or changing) text in the "Edit summary" box so that other editors can see what you are doing and to show that it is not accidental deletion or vandalism. The "Edit summary" box appears as shown below when you edit an article.

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

 

This is a minor edit Watch this page

By publishing changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 4.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license.

Publish changes Show preview Show changes Cancel

Once you have included a brief summary in the "Edit summary" box, please make sure you then click the "Show preview" button rather than immediately clicking the "Save page" button. This lets you review the modified version of the article and lets you spot typos (of which you tend to leave a lot) and also whether you wish to further modify the wording before finally pressing the "Save page" button. Does that make more sense now? Please drop me a line on my Talk page if you are still not clear. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 08:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

a significant change about Nanking Massacre

There is a significant change about Nanking Massacre. Hence I create a new discussion topic about it and hope more editor can join it. I want a consensus about it. Please see the talk page of Nanking Massacre.Miracle dream (talk)20:32, 9 February 2014

"Their" vs "There"

You seem to be confused about the difference between "there" and "their" in English. Please take the time to read this grammar guide, which explains the differences in easy-to-understand language. --DAJF (talk) 02:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Further to the above, actually changing instances of "their" back to the incorrect "there", as you did here does not improve the article quality, and could be construed as willful vandalism. Please read the grammar guide I provided a link to above, slow down, and make the effort to proof read what you are writing before pressing the "Save page" button. --DAJF (talk) 02:33, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Takeo Sato

The article Takeo Sato has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of why this particular individual is notable enough to justify a self-standing biographical article on Wikipedia. (Missing vital information on Japanese name, date of birth, date of death etc.)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DAJF (talk) 23:58, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I find it justified. There is little information about him. Should he be placed in the Japanese resistance article. (Greg723 (talk) 00:26, 2 April 2014 (UTC)).

Please, please, please use the Preview button

Please, please, please use the "Preview button" before saving your edits. I see I asked you back in February, but you are still making infinite numbers of minute tweaks to this and other articles. If you are not sure about the exact wording or details you wish to include, please use a sandbox to try out your ideas before presenting them as an article in public space. I'm hoping you can cooperate... Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 05:14, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I apologize. I'll use the preview button. Can you change the name of the sandbox? On the talk page of the Japanese resistance article, I'm proposing the article to be changed to the intro you put in the article "Japanese Resistance to the Empire of Japan during the Showa Period"(Greg723 (talk) 05:18, 20 May 2014 (UTC)).

I'm not sure what you mean by "change the name of the sandbox", but you can use your own sandbox at User:Greg723/Sandbox for trying out wording and ideas for different articles to your heart's content without interference from anyone else until they are actually ready to be added to the corresponding articles. And if you wish to propose a further move so soon after you already moved it, please make a formal move proposal at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 05:28, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. (Greg723 (talk) 05:29, 20 May 2014 (UTC)).

Greg, is it not possible for you to use the Preview button? Seriously? --DAJF (talk) 07:36, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I assume you're either talking about Militarist Coup d'état section. That was my fault. I meant to put Coup d'etats Sorry. As for the photo of Kenji Hatanaka of the Kyujo Incident, I was simply trying to give the photo more space. It's passing thru the Japanese resistance in Popular Culture. The rest are just spelling mistakes.(Greg723 (talk) 07:40, 20 May 2014 (UTC)).

I was referring to the four edits (within an even larger ongoing series of edits) you made within the space of just 6 minutes to the Japanese resistance during the Shōwa period article, each time correcting your own earlier mistakes, but also introducing more at the same time. As I suggested above, taking things more slowly, clicking the Preview button, and then re-reading your text carefully before you finally click the Save page button would save you (and other editors) a lot of hassle, and would avoid clogging up the article's revision history with hundreds of minor changes. I would also repeat my suggestion to make use of a sandbox, as you don't appear to have taken that up yet. --DAJF (talk) 07:51, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Wataru Kaji sourcing

Hi. I have restored the "Citation needed" tag which you removed from the Wataru Kaji article, as the "Dilemma In Japan" source at the end of the paragraph does not appear to mention anything about either Prince Yamanashi or a boycott. If you can point out the page on which this is mentioned or provide another source to corroborate this, then please feel free to add the source and remove the maintenance tag. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 01:56, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

As a follow-up to the above, I found the source, and noticed that the entire section was copied verbatim from [1], so I have removed it accordingly. Copyright violations like this are a real no-no on Wikipedia, so please be careful in future. Also, if you have copied similar sections in other articles, I suggest you remove them promptly. --DAJF (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Greg, copyright violations are a serious matter on Wikipedia. Sorry to sound threatening, but you can get blocked from editing if you continue to restore copyright text to articles after it has been removed. Please don't take this lightly. --DAJF (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

I returned a copyrighted material, but I'm trying to delete paraphrasing. You can check it right now. Still has to be deleted.(Greg723 (talk) 02:19, 18 June 2014 (UTC)).

Greg, you have restored copyright material to two articles. If you do not remove the material immediately, both articles will have to be tagged for investigation. Seriously, repeatedly adding copyright text to articles is a real no-no, and could get you into trouble. --DAJF (talk) 02:25, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

I returned it, but deleted any part that is copywriting. Is it the link that's the problem or the text? I tried to at least try to delete any text that copies exactly what the links say. Explain it to me so I don't get reprimanded (Greg723 (talk) 02:27, 18 June 2014 (UTC)).

The text you re-added was copied verbatim from this source. This constitutes a copyright violation. Even paraphrasing is not permitted. You need to remove the text entirely immediately. I'm not sure how I can explain this any more simply. --DAJF (talk) 02:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

I have rewritten the copy written section of Kaji's early life. Is it appropriate. "Kajji Wataru was born in Kyushu in 1903 to parents who were propserous landlords. He wanted to be a naval officer, but when he reached Tokyo Imperial University in 1923, he devoted himself to literature. He organized the boycott of any class attended by Prince Yamanashi. All the students were obliged to bow to the floor, button their collars and show reverence before the Prince, who was ensconced at an elaborate desk set high above the others."(Greg723 (talk) 02:57, 18 June 2014 (UTC)).

Greg, sorry but that is just paraphrasing, which is far too similar to the original text. Please read Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, which explains what is and isn't acceptable. Feel free to drop me a message if you are still not sure. --DAJF (talk) 03:07, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

revised "Kaji Wataru was born in 1903 to a prosperous family. At first wanting a career in the navy, he became devoted to literature when he attended Tokyo Imperial University in 1923. There he became involved with liberalism. After graduation, Kaji joined the Workers and Peasants Party." (Greg723 (talk) 03:16, 18 June 2014 (UTC)).

The latest versions look OK. Thanks for taking the time to rewrite them. Please just remember that the person's name is written as Wataru Kaji in English contexts, not vice versa. If you forget, just take a look at the article's title to jog your memory. --DAJF (talk) 07:34, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Sentence case for section headings

Greg. Could you please have a look at the manual of style guidelines that apply to section headings at MOS:HEADINGS? In a nutshell, they should always be written in sentence case, which means we capitalize only the first first letter of the first word (except of course for proper nouns such as "Hirohito"). Do you understand? It would be a great help if you could adhere to the basic guidelines when you add material to articles, and actually reverting back to a non-standard format is not particularly helpful, so please be more careful in future. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 13:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Ok. Also, I apologize for clogging up the view history with minor edits. I've been recently been using show preview.(Greg723 (talk) 13:47, 24 June 2014 (UTC)).

Introductory paragraph in Japanese resistance during the Shōwa period article

• Japanese resistance during the Shōwa period (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

As the article is about resistance during the Showa period, I think it is essential to include a definition of the Showa period in the opening paragraph. If you think otherwise, maybe you can put forward your views on the article's talk page, or possibly suggest an article move. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 03:19, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Shinzo Abe in article about resistance during Showa period

Hi Greg. I see you re-added a mention about prime minister Shinzo Abe to the Japanese resistance during the Shōwa period article. Do you really think this is relevant to an article about the Showa period, which ended 26 years ago? I'd be interested to hear your thinking on this. --DAJF (talk) 12:44, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Now that you explained it, not really. However, mentioning the fate of the JCP is important. The Student Teachers Union, which was founded in the post-war era, should be mentioned also.(Greg723 (talk) 12:46, 7 July 2014 (UTC)).

But "today" is 26 years after the Showa period ended, so I dispute that that belongs in this article. Have a think about it. --DAJF (talk) 12:51, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

The Japan Teachers Union was deleted since it was founded in the post-war era. Since we are discussing the fate of the resistance, discussing the fate of an organization that was part of the resistance seems necessary, and how it is dealing with nationalism, which is what fueled the japanese war effort.(Greg723 (talk) 18:26, 7 July 2014 (UTC)).

I have complied with your request. (Greg723 (talk) 19:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)).

Thanks for editing it. I still think the fate of the resistance in the modern day is relevant. What if their was a section in the article called "Legacy of the Resistance." I need more information than just the Communist Party. Information on memorials of the resistance in important. How the resistance is dealing with Japanese nationalism is too. (Greg723 (talk) 23:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)).

Proposed deletion of Mahito Akashi

The article Mahito Akashi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established. His only claim to fame appears to be being the son of someone possibly notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I support the deletion. Mahito is not that notable to justify an article.(Greg723 (talk) 22:20, 6 August 2014 (UTC)).

Disambiguation link notification for September 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hotsumi Ozaki, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shirakawa. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	I think you almost single-handedly made Japanese dissidence during the Shōwa period the third-most-edited article of 2014: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/12/30/top-10-most-edited-pages-in-2014/. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 03:44, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of maintenance tags

Hi. Your recent edit to the Japanese dissidence during the Shōwa period article removed at least one maintenance tag marking unsourced claims requiring citations for verification. This may have been an oversight, but please be careful, and please do try and make use of the Preview function to avoid the accidental errors and grammatical mistakes that frequently creep into the article text. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 04:55, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

The information from the Propaganda activity in wartime China section in Japanese dissidence during the Shōwa period comes from the two references below the section. They are Dilemma in Japan and the Thought war. I thought I wouldn't need citations on every new paragraph (Greg723 (talk) 05:06, 16 January 2015 (UTC)).

Hi. Unfortunately, that is not at all clear when reading the text. Please add the relevant citations where requested. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 05:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Wataru Kaji. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 04:16, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Japanese name order

Hi, Greg. I've had a look at the Omori Bank Robbery article you created recently. I have to ask: is there any special reason why you continue to write Japanese names in the family name + given name order in articles you create or edit? The long-established Manual of Style for Japanese names stipulates that the names of Japanese persons born post-Meiji (1868) should always be written in the standard (western) order of given name + family name on Wikipedia, so it would be a great help if you could try and adhere to this when writing new articles. If you are not sure, all you need to do is click on the relevant links to see how names such as Hajime Kawakami or Osamu Dazai should be rendered. Anyway, please make the effort to read the guidelines. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 10:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Direct copying/paraphrasing

Re your recent edits to the Political repression in Imperial Japan article, please be careful not to add chunks of text copied directly from other sources, as this constitutes a copyright violation. I believe this has been explained to you before, but please be sure to rewrite material in your own words. Close paraphrasing is generally not acceptable either. --DAJF (talk) 00:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Nosaka Sanzo at the Seventh Congress of the Communist Party of China.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Nosaka Sanzo at the Seventh Congress of the Communist Party of China.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:05, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Problem has been resolved. (Greg723 (talk) 21:44, 6 June 2015 (UTC)).

Hi.

Sorry about leaving this here but not sure how else to communicate with you via Wikipeida otherwise. Just wanted to thank you for your edits on the Communist Party of Japan page. If you know about Japanese politics or know others that do: is there any chance you could please help the Japanese 'People's Life Party's page?

People's Life Party

The ideologies and position needs sourcing and more information in general would greatly be appreciated as the article is very lacking. Thanks and all the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helper201 (talk • contribs) 07:08, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Kobayashi Takiji Literary Monument.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Kobayashi Takiji Literary Monument.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 02:52, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
