I hope you have fun! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me (though I'll probably be too dumb to know the answers to them :)). Warmly, Classical Esther♣ 05:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello there, I saw your edit summary. CE stands for Common Era. It means the person was born after the year 0. CE is basically just another word for AD, which is really a religious term, so I used CE instead. Hope you understand. Regards, Orashmatash 20:31, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Let's see what happens. I will continue to create new articles about the Emperors of Japan. Perhaps we can return to this issue in December? --Tenmei (talk) 20:57, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed you've been creating articles about Japanese provinces. I created a new category for them -- Category:Provinces of Japan. You can use that category instead of Category:Japan for any new articles you create. Cheers! --Auntof6 (talk) 21:29, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

You work on a lot of Japan-related articles, so I thought I'd ask you to look at Manzai. I was going to wikify it, but I'm not sure I understand it well enough. Would you see if you can help? --Auntof6 (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
I don't think the Category:Capital_of_France is needed. It is simply confusing for someone who may just want to know about the actual capital, Paris; it actually makes it sound like all those towns are currently the capital of France. Yottie =talk= 20:21, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Please help me re-write the introduction to this article so that the problem is addressed.
Please give some thought to the explanation at the top of the page at en:Category:Former national capitals. I think you begin with an "either/or" question. I wonder if that may not be necessary or best in this context? I have asked Peterdownunder and Auntof6 to help us figure out what to do, --Tenmei (talk) 22:09, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Please see my edit history here, which shows
This will have to do for today. --Tenmei (talk) 03:08, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
However, the category is populated by articles with a singular "Capital" in the title.
A review of the edit histories of each of these nested categories will show that an anonymous editor 70.184.168.201 in Virginia contrived this so-called "problem" -- and I see his/her work is a helpful exercise in deductive reasoning.
In other words, my guess is that he/she deduced the commonality in the cohort of articles which are grouped. Each category title reflects the deductive analysis. --Tenmei (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for participating. If you are making more changes this weekend, please put CCW at the start of your edit summaries. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 16:13, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for taking part in the Capital City Weekend which greatly improved the quality of articles. Peterdownunder (talk) 09:47, 2 December 2011 (UTC) |
Hi Tenmei,
Thanks for creating so many Japanese history and geography articles. Filling in the factual information in a structured, consistent way is very helpful. I noticed in the recent Japanese era articles that some of the vocabulary in the template may be a bit complex. In particular "spanned" and "reign". I simplified these on Daiei_(era) and wonder what you think. I changed "spanned the years from August 1521 through August 1528" to a simple started in/ended format. Reign isn't simple. "Rule" is, but isn't really correct. I think it is OK to just leave it out like this: "The reigning emperors were X and Y" to "The emperors were X and Y". I made a few other simplifications specific to that article too. Thanks again, Gotanda (talk) 03:10, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
However, please join me in reviewing the use of the terms "reigning" and "reign" which have been linked to Simple:Wiktionary -- see here. Should we use the word "reign" as a kind of technical term or jargon in the monarchy context? Perhaps you may have noticed that some sources used the term "reign name" as a synonym for nengō?
I have another template-related question in the Ōei context: I wonder if we should not consider the transitive verb "receive" as a kind of technical term in a diplomacy context? For example, the wording here:
I don't plan to attempt to work through Nanboku-chō before February. I hope you will be willing and able to review my best efforts in this difficult period. --Tenmei (talk) 19:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
