Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to C-ute. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 06:00, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:AKB48 RIVER Regular Edition (KIZM-43) cover.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) 12:05, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Moscowconnection. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Yamada ryosuke, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Is a plausible, useful redirect or is not a redirect at all. Thank you. Courcelles 02:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The redirect clearly resulted from a typo or misnomer as R3 states. The page Ryosuke Yamada was created with that name and then moved to where it is now, see the very second edit. But surely, it's a typo but not an implausible one. :D Probably, I misinterpreted the criteria. Moscowconnection (talk) 03:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moscowconnection, I am writing to you about the changes to the name "Team Kenkyūsei" that you have made. I believe that it should still retain the name as they are officially known to most people. In fact, pages like Everyday, Kachūsha ans Koko ni Ita Koto use this term. I hink you should just revert it back. Thanks!--Lionratz (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you! I wasn't the one who did it! See User_talk:Shippai#AKB48's Trainee Team's name. This is my version. Moscowconnection (talk) 14:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Thank you for you help, actually! And please tell what you've just told me here: User_talk:Shippai#AKB48's Trainee Team's name. :))) Moscowconnection (talk) 14:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• And it was when I wrote to Shippai about me adding the Japanese name anyway, I clicked "Save page" and received your message! He didn't appear to have watched the video in question before. Moscowconnection (talk) 14:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Correct it as you think is right. I would also add the Japanese names on top of each section: "Chiimu Ee", "Chiimu Bii", "Chiimu Kee", "Chiimu Foo". :) Moscowconnection (talk) 14:37, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• The name "Team Kenkyūsei" is there now. Moscowconnection (talk) 06:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Hi Moscowconnection, thanks for the reply! I believe these names "Chiimu Ee", "Chiimu Bii", "Chiimu Kee", "Chiimu Foo" are not well know and are actually romanization of alphabets into Japanese. Therefore, they should not be used as per guidelines. Also, about the sources, Tokyograph is not considered a reliable source, sadly. It can only be used when the original article is deleted. And about the Japanese part, Wikipedia allows foreign language sources. Therefore, even if most people cannot read, we still have to put in the most reliable source. Then we can up the grade of this article. Thanks!!--Lionratz (talk) 06:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've restored the article so you can add references, etc. if you want. Cheers, BigDom 22:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your constructive contribution for Maidashi ryokuchi.--Hot cake syrup (talk) 08:53, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• You are welcome. I only corrected one link. ^^ Moscowconnection (talk) 10:08, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on how to read Oricon web pages (URLs or the actual text of the page) to be able to find charts that would help show how someone meets WP:MUSICBIO # 2 or 3. Thanks for any help! --Malkinann (talk) 04:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Search here, in the top left search box ("Search for: Artist Name" (アーティスト名が)).

  Example:

  If you search for the name Momoko Tsugunaga (嗣永桃子, with or without a space), you'll find this profile. The top 3 figures are the top ranks of her singles, albums and DVDs. She doesn't have neither solo singles nor solo albums that ranked, but she had a DVD at number 9. The 2 figures below are "TV appearances: 60" and "Commercials: --". Btw, the latter doesn't seem right cause her Japanese Wikipedia page lists a commercial for Pizza-La.

  How to find the DVD and many articles mentioning her:

  The folders below are:

  1. Digest (ダイジェスト)
  2. Profile (プロフィール)
     1. Profile (プロフィール)
     2. History (ヒストリー): TV appearances, releases featuring her, etc.
  3. News and Specials (ニュース一・特集): Articles on the Oricon website mentioning her
     1. News (ニュース一)
     2. Specials and Interviews (特集＆インタビュー)]
     3. Rankings News (ランキングトピックス一)
  4. Works (作品)
  5. Rankings (ランキング)
     1. Singles (シングル)
     2. Albums (アルバム)
     3. DVDs

        What's interesting is that the DVD which reached number 9 was a 2010 concert by Berryz Kobo, the band she's in. Momoko also has solo DVDs. They are in the list. There are 3 solo DVDs that ranked 20, 32, and 58.

  6. Schedule (スケジュール): Schedule of her appearances

--Moscowconnection (talk) 19:11, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I also search the net for news adding the parameters "site:oricon.co.jp", "site:natalie.mu", "site:excite.co.jp". And I like Yahoo Japan News Search. For example, the Yahoo Japan News Search for mentions of Momoko Tsugunaga results in a long list, which also includes reprints of the latest Oricon and Natalie articles.--Moscowconnection (talk) 23:29, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for going to the effort! :D Would you mind if I reposted this at WT:ANIME, so that others know as well? --Malkinann (talk) 23:38, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! Do it! Moscowconnection (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, if there's a place for a more detailed guide than Wikipedia:ANIME#Online_tools_and_resources somewhere (like, on a project subpage), I can make some sort of guide there. It would help in saving articles from deletion. Moscowconnection (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you repost this, then repost my proposal too. :D Moscowconnection (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Online_reliable_sources - I imagine a subpage could be made there much like the "Details" subpages on Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Reference Library. --Malkinann (talk) 00:33, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I haven't seen the page. I'll do it then. In the upcoming days. ^^; --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw your message at my talk, please understand that I was editing unrelated articles and came across this by chance. As it was not very clear I tried to make it more readable, I will address the issues that you have raised, only one thing all-girl *IS* necessary because outside of Japan we don't know that Japanese idol groups are same sex. CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 18:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Great. Thank you! After you rephrase it, it will surely be better than my version from yesterday. Moscowconnection (talk) 19:03, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for trimming some of the births you put into the Days of the year pages yesterday. I or someone else would have eventually trimmed them to fit the page format. Just to let you know while I'm here, I undid 3 of your edits yesterday, 1 for being in the wrong date page (I only remember it was placed in August instead of April, date number was correct though, possibly 16), and 2 for having conflicting birth dates within the articles with no citations. I did trim 1 or 2 as I was flying to keep up with you :) Ken Tholke (talk) 13:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, thank you and good job!

• I went through my yesterday's edits to the articles on the days of the year, and I think the entries fit the format now. And thank you for mentioning the edits you undid, I've found them all now, and all 3 dates were wrong. :) Moscowconnection (talk) 15:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Golden Wiki Award Thanks for your recent contributions! 66.87.0.36 (talk) 18:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you so much!!! I wonder what I did to deserve it. :P Moscowconnection (talk) 20:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moscowconnection, thanks for helping to improve Japan-related culture. You are right to say that I am not really a big fan of AKB48, since I haven't even attended one of their regular concerts in my country. Furthermore, I am a newbie to this group, so I have made many errors in my edits regarding them. On that note, thanks for pointing out these mistakes.

However, I would like to point out that articles have been ruined because fans of that particular topic spammed the article with too much fan-related information. I want to keep AKB48 articles free of this type of occurrence.

Lastly, I need some help to find more references. As you might have noticed, I have been adding {{citation needed}} tags to sections that lacks them. I am trying my best to avoid these tags, but I really do not know where to find more references. Can you help in this task? In addition, please try your best to include references for any new information that you may add. Cheers!--Lionratz (talk) 08:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Let's move to the Talk page.--Moscowconnection (talk) 15:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing up AKB48 and the official youtube channel. I also reworded that top 5 sentence, hopefully that communicates what the writer originally intended. If not, feel free to tweak it. AngusWOOF (talk) 23:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for rewording. It does communicate what the writer originally intended. That's exactly what I meant when I wrote it. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:37, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are too many sentences explaining how the hell the name is supposed to be written or read. There is nothing inherently wrong about the way I included the katakana because I have not done so in a way that is implying that it is written in Japanese by the katakana. I ahve included it as part of the pronunciation. Do we really need two sentences explaining "C-ute" is pronounced as the English word "Cute"? And why should Japanese text be omitted when you already have the Hepburn romanization on the page. This is getting out of "I disagree with the current formatting" and more "Stay away from my pages" with your reverts. This is particularly telling because you're the one who made that excessive exposition in the first place.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:20, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you hadn't removed the information months ago I wouldn't have had to put it back in.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:15, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I removed it before the discussion at WT:JAPAN started. It was just one small improvement (from my point of view), I have been rewriting the article since last spring. I do think the info is useful, but not in the first sentence. I want the article to be read, so I think from the point of view of an English speaker who hears about °C-ute and comes to Wikipedia to learn about the group. Moscowconnection (talk) 00:58, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Cute (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages, and is also a duplication of Cute (disambiguation). Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines on consensus building, before creating duplicate disambiguation pages.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wesley☀Mouse 15:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't see it as either G6 1 or 2. Probably, you misterpreted the rules. Moscowconnection (talk) 15:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't misinterpreted the rules for CSD. I read all the criteria at CSD, and use twinkle to select the correct G6 submission. This is because its an unnecessary and orphaned disambiguation page; when Cute (disambiguation) page already exists covering the same disambiguation rules. I encourage your enthusiasm in becoming a good editor and creating as many new articles as possible. But sometimes it is always best to check with WP:NEW or research if a new article is needed, or if another one covering your proposals is in existence. Wesley☀Mouse 15:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you would like to take some time to familiarise yourself with the guidelines at disambiguation and also the dos and don'ts. Wesley☀Mouse 15:52, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Cute (band), a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Wesley☀Mouse 16:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see no buttons. The notice says "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." Moscowconnection (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article talk page is where any discussions would take place, similar to the way a discussion took place at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) when the request to move the article was submitted. Deleting admins will carefully check to see if the correct criteria has been dertmined, and will also check to see if another disambiguation page exists. As we have already established the latter then it would be likely to get deleted, but we will have to see what the admins decide. Wesley☀Mouse 16:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Cute (band). If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Wesley☀Mouse 16:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I previously informed you to engage in the discussion at Talk:Cute (band) before removing maintenance tags, please participate in the discussion as advised. In doing so, you are avoiding being blocked for violation of the 3 revert rules. Wesley☀Mouse 16:56, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know about 3RR. I hadn't read what you wrote about the talk page when I reverted, sorry. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These notice and the one on the article do not match one another. There are no buttons and it says to remove. The notice says "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." What should I do? It's funny, actually. I will post on the talk page. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you give me the link to where the button, that you obviously can see, points? :) Moscowconnection (talk) 17:01, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The notice "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." is for admins. It is basically informing the administrator to remove the tag if they feel the article doesn't meet the criteria it has been nominated for. Slow down in future and wait to see if editors reply back to you before rushing off and doing something, there are no deadlines on Wikipedia.. This alone proves the fact that you rushed in removing the template tag before waiting for me to reply back to you. Also at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) you asked if we need to used Cute (band) page as a disambiguation. Before waiting for me to give you a reply to your question, you went ahead anyway and created the page - whereas if you waited a little while you would have noticed there wasn't a need to make the article. Patience is a virtue, and nothing needs to be rushed. Wesley☀Mouse 17:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Sorry. It's funny, though. I posted on the Cute (band) talk page now. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:23, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the templates used are pre-worded templates, and I'm unable to re-word them without posting it first and then manually altering afterwards. I have campaigned about these a few times, informing people that a review on how they are worded needs to be carried out. But alas the requests to date have been ignored. And something which I suppose I have to grin and bear with. Looks like though that an admin has reviewed the nomination, and feels it can remain - so another issue resolved thanks to going down the appropriate channels. Happy editing. Wesley☀Mouse 17:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The admin has added a new tag though, one that is requesting the page be merged to an already completed one - which I can only assume means it will get merged into Cute (disambiguation) after all. Wesley☀Mouse 17:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. It has been redirected already. I'm not sure it is what had to be done, but I will read the disambiguation rules. And in a few days, I'll see how Wikipedia search, Google, Yahoo, etc. react. Sorry for the trouble. You should understand that I wanted Cute (Japanese band) be easy to find. Presently, it is not the case. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you thought about seeking advice on how to make things easier to search at the village pump or better still at the help desk? Wesley☀Mouse 17:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I didn't think about it. It would help. What I know is that when I type "Cute" in Yahoo or Google, the Japanese band doesn't come up near the top. It did, but then it stopped. And it upsets me. :) And I don't get what titles are on top of the list in Wikipedia search suggestions. I will have to ask there. I'll see what happens with the search and then I'll think how to ask it. Moscowconnection (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you for your patience. The tag persistently said to remove it, so I though it was really funny and reverted the second time. :) Moscowconnection (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed your talk page is getting rather lengthy too. Do you know about archiving? If you click on H:ARC you'll find a step-by-step guide. Alternatively, I could install an archive set-up for you, I've helped a couple of users out with archiving in the past too, so I don't mind. Wesley☀Mouse 18:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'll learn how archiving is done, but I don't want to archive just yet. I don't receive many comments (that is, I hadn't until yesterday), and there are many bot messages that can be removed without archiving. Moscowconnection (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wesley☀Mouse 20:03, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moscowconnection,

I've had a gander over at the article - looking impressive now. However, I thought I should point out on the infobox (right-hand side of article), where it says Website should really have the band's official website page, and not the URL of their YouTube channel. This could do with being fixed, to keep in accordance with manual of style for infobox parameters. BOT's are prone to do random checks and may end up removing that link if it doesn't recognise it as the official page.

Also, it may be worth taking a break from the article too. The page history only shows you as being the single-editor on the article,which to the community can be seen as someone taking ownership of articles; so please be cautious there; as this would be violating one of the five pillars. Wesley☀Mouse 18:51, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Talk:Cute (Japanese band)#Official website. Moscowconnection (talk) 20:10, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm removing all those videos from all those infoboxes. We are not a directory of links, and the plethora of them only serve to strengthen the idea that these pages are like fan sites. Sorry, but it's not the purpose of Wikipedia to exhaustively list, let alone link, everything. I watched one of those videos (and need to wash my eyes now) on the official cutechannel, and they start with a fifteen-second add--so they promote the band as well as the companies that advertise on the band's YouTube channel. That is simply unacceptable. BTW, one of those articles had 31 YouTube videos linked--I'm pretty sure that's a record. Drmies (talk) 15:17, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They don't start with the ad. It's YouTube who ads the advertisements. You will have all the videos from YouTube to remove all YouTube videos soon. And you should install an ad bloscker. Moscowconnection (talk) 15:54, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't matter. You are linking to ads. And please don't tell me what to install: I am a regular, unsophisticated PC user, like probably most Wikipedia readers. Drmies (talk) 15:57, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was just a recommendation. Sorry, if it sounded differently. I'm replying on the Cute talk page about the rest. I have it in my watchlist. Moscowconnection (talk) 16:09, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I should apologize--I put that way too strongly. ;) Drmies (talk) 17:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. No problem. The ads are annoying, by the way. Google always acted like they were everyone's best friend, and now they made watching YouTube impossible. I think that a war against YouTube may start eventually, but I wouldn't want it to start on Cute articles. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apply common sense. First of all, music videos are by definition promotional. Second, not all videos on YouTube have ads. Third, 31? Drmies (talk) 16:03, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eureka! Check out WP:YOUTUBE. Apparently there is a limitation to Youtube links, and also strict guidelines too, as there are copyright issues to be wary of also, and if my memory serves me correctly, users can be banned for repeated copyvios. Wesley☀Mouse 16:06, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's an official channel for the band, I don't think there's copyright violations. Drmies (talk) 17:09, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the discusson to Talk:Cute (Japanese band)#Official website and Talk:Cute (Japanese band)#Music videos. Moscowconnection (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moscowconnection,

Not sure if you know or not, but from what I gather the importance scales are suppose to be set at "low" and then it is up to the project to change them accordingly. A bot will notify the projects that this article has been added, and that they need to review the importance scale. Wesley☀Mouse 19:32, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you could add {{DEFAULTSORT:Natalie (website}} and a bot will work out the scales for the project. Wesley☀Mouse 19:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the importance is left unassessed, then the article will be listed as unassessed. Otherwise, no one from a project will simply come to assess it. For this particular article, it will be most probably set to Low for any non-Japanese projects, but still it doesn't seem right to decide fot them. As I understand it, at least. {{DEFAULTSORT}} is explained here: DEFAULTSORT#Default sort key. Moscowconnection (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A list of what the importance scales mean can be found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria#WikiProject importance assessments. From what that link reads, members of a project or external interests can scale the level of importance. Based on the article being of a specialised subject, its level would be low for WP:Media and WP:Journalism - as the guidance reads LOW = subject is mainly of specialist interest. I have left a copy of this conversation on the article's talk page. Wesley☀Mouse 20:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let's wait for someone from the projects to come. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:28, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell is your problem? I added the outdent at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) because that is manual of style on talk pages. The way you worded your edit summary was uncalled for, and I find it very distressing to be honest with you. Chill out man, and think. Wesley☀Mouse 20:18, 20 May 2012 (UTC) Sorry, just realised I placed the outdent on the wrong line - it was suppose to be inbetween your last comment and my latest. Wesley☀Mouse 20:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You moved my comment. I don't think it's polite to touch other people's comments. I replied to one particular message of yours. Moscowconnection (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a particular manual of style also used on article talk pages. A user can restyle the comments to put things into an easy-readable flow; as long as they don't alter the wording. You're making it sound like I altered everything you written when I hadn't. And I have apologised above explaining the outdent was placed on the wrong line. Why are you being so harsh with me Moscow? I really don't understand the behaviour lately. Remember just how delicate I am at the moment, and such wordings are likely to spark me off, which is something I don't need right now - geeze its the funeral tomorrow, so it is very easy for me to do typo errors. We all make mistakes, nobody is perfect, so go easy with me OK! Wesley☀Mouse 20:37, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Sorry. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:01, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nah I'm sorry Moscowconnection. I now can see why a lot of the experienced editors kept telling me to take time off from editing. My stubbornness got the better of me, and all I've done is just snap people's heads off. The hardest thing will be this coming week, when the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 is on TV. Every year my mother and I would sit and watch that, while eating popcorn, and giving our own scores - this year will be strange now as I'll be all alone. Wesley☀Mouse 21:05, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My condolences, Wesley. Sorry. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:11, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your clarification! Oh, how else do you think we should improve the article from here on? I know that a lot of content is missing, but exactly what to include is still undefined. It really does not help that no other Japanese idol groups have articles that are ranked GA or above. Do you that that we should refer to K-pop groups that have released singles in Japan, just to use them as models, of course. And I am really sorry if I have added untrue or inaccurate information to the article. Happy editing.--Lionratz (talk) 12:47, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are some good K-pop articles. I did look at them for ideas. I think we should completely rewrite the History section. And create more thematic sections to give people something interesting to read. Moscowconnection (talk) 03:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry for not responding. I thought you would leave reply on my talk page. Anyways, I have been researching. I till cannot find much (not to mention reliable sources) regarding AKB48 before 2008 or 2007. Can you point me in the right direction. Oh, as for the Korean groups, I have narrowed down to Girls' Generation and TVXQ. I choose the former because it is currently nominated for GA and has undergo massive restructuring, while TVXQ has a strong Japanese connection. I think we should adapt some of their style and structure in AKB48. What do you think?--Lionratz (talk) 07:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, it's me who hadn't been here for a few days. You replied immediately. It's summer where I live, so I may disappear at any time. If not for the latest developments at the Cute article, I wouldn't be here since a few weeks back. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let's discuss everything on the AKB48 talk page. To start with, I'm not sure whether the parts about overseas appearances that I copied into a new section should be removed from the history section. What do you think? Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I mentioned this on the AKB48 article's talk page the other day, but I thought I'd ask again here. What reason is there to include the information about Nogizaka46's choreography controversy on the article for AKB48? As far as I can see, it has no place there. It should be included on Nogizaka46's article, and possibly even Akimoto Yasushi's article, but it has no connection to AKB48. The controversy did not include the AKB48 group in any way, or include any AKB48 members. Could you clarify why you wish to include this information? Kaixa913 (talk) 07:35, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to leave the part because it makes the article better. It's recent, interesting, entertaining. We need to give people something to read, something to return to Wikipedia for. Also, it ends the otherwise dull "Controversies" section on a happier note. I know we will have to remove the info sooner or later. But hopefully I will expand and rewrite the section by then. If you think it's simply unacceptable having the info there, remove it from the article yourself. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't think to get back to you. Just to let you know, I have basically no connection to that image, and no opinion on the issue which you have brought to my attention; you're welcome to do whatever you need to, in my eyes. Thanks! J Milburn (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I will have to discuss the matter with the Raising a flag over the Reichstag article's author then, since no one else seems to be against changing the image. Moscowconnection (talk) 04:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning your AWB bug report I would like to say that per MOS:QUOTE styling of apostrophes and quotation marks should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions without comment. MOS:QUOTE reads "This practice of conforming typographical styling to a publication's own "house style" is universal". -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• OK. I see that AWB only makes pages conform to Wikipedia style guidelines. (The quotation marks in question aren't a "publication own house style", though, cause the titles aren't in English.) --Moscowconnection (talk) 05:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please ask in the manual of style talk page for clarification? Because it reads "Allowable typographical alterations include these: Styling of apostrophes and quotation marks". -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:27, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't do it now cause I'm not on regularly and I won't be able to engage in long discussions. I'll ask there later. --Moscowconnection (talk) 04:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Morning Musume Only you Regular Edition (EPCE-5785) cover.jpg.

Hi. When you recently edited Berryz Kobo discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Please read WP:REDIRECT#NOTBROKEN.

I notice that the majority of your recent contributions you explain solely as "Avoiding redirect". Please be aware that doing so is not only unnecessary, but undesirable and detrimental, for reasons as explained in the relevant guideline. I appreciate your general enthusiasm but I for one would rather you didn't continue putting it into that particular "fix". If you still feel that avoiding redirects is a desirable thing, how about you say why here and we can discuss whether one of us may have failed to consider something? Cesiumfrog (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Okay. I will read WP:REDIRECT#NOTBROKEN thoroughly now. I'm not enthusiastic about redirects and I was not going to fix the whole Wikipedia. I've already finished with links to Cute. What I did is very convenient for me. The problem is that in the past I've added links to Cute instead of Cute (Japanese band). Since Cute redirects to Cuteness instead of a disambiguation page, no bot notified me about it. I have to look through the list of articles that link to Cute periodically. So, I thought that if I make the list smaller, it will be easier next time. It kind of worked cause today I fixed a link to Cute (Japanese band) that I never noticed before. Now the list is short and I will be able to detect wrong links easily. Also, a few months ago I changed all links to the group to point to Cute (Japanese band) directly. Again, it's very convenient for me, cause its name can be written in many different ways and having no articles pointing to redirects allows me to easily find it written as "C-ute" or "℃-ute". --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MC. Regarding your edit summary: You can't remove everything like this. It doesn't look like you researched the subject., please see WP:BURDEN and WP:BLP, WP:RS and WP:V. In short, the burden is on the editor who adds the info to source it carefully, not on me. I hope this helps. Anyway, good work on adding more references to the article. Keep it up! Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 22:48, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Okay, your links are convincing. You could remove it. :-) But still, WP:BURDEN says that it's "good practice to try to find and cite supporting sources yourself" before removing material. Also, WP:BURDEN recommends "adding a citation needed tag as an interim step", otherwise "editors might object". So I objected. --Moscowconnection (talk) 23:42, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you are learning fast, with all these links you threw back at me! But still don't forget with WP:BLP any poorly sourced material must be removed. Also this is happening to many other K-pop articles with sockpuppets and IPs constantly edit-warring for years, trying to add exactly this type of unreferenced positions and birthdays. Just look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ryanjay1996 and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Trikjg. Also Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Trikjg and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ryanjay1996 etc. This is quite a battle going on, on a massive scale, and it is nice to see editors like you who at least respect the policies of Wikipedia and try to upkeep them. It was nice meeting you. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 00:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Now I understand you're fighting on many fronts, that's why you don't have time to search for sources yourself. Good luck in fighting K-pop fans. To fight better, you will have to learn the members, their ages and positions. :-) 2NE1 members' ages are commonly known (and Daum was a very reliable source, it's a giant Korean portal), but they are not on the official site. --Moscowconnection (talk) 00:44, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw this. Please avoid edit summaries like: It's sourced. (You've just added an official source yourself, the birth days and months are there. How can you add a source without looking at it?, because it is a way to attack the other edi
