WikiProject Japan taskforces[edit]
In order to encourage more participation, and to help people find a specific area in which they are more able to help out, we have organized taskforces at WikiProject Japan. Please visit the Participants page and update the list with the taskforces in which you wish to participate. Links to all the taskforces are found at the top of the list of participants.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for helping out! ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Minoru Genda[edit]
The long political career of Minoru Genda in the House of Councillors (spanning more than 20 years) is a greatly underappreciated facet of his career that is not well-known to those who are not specialists in postwar Japanese politics, despite the fact that he may well have exerted by far greater influence on Japan as a politician and a bureaucrat than as a military aviator.
For all the fame he accummulated as a mastermind of the Pearl Harbor attack, his political deeds (both in the Lockheed affair surrounding the adoption of the Lockheed Starfighter--masterfully accounted for by Michael Greene in his book on politics of military procument in postwar Japan, among others--and his involvement in the opposition to Japanese ratification of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (accounted for in several academic articles and contemporary newspaper accounts--I'll supply specific details if you need them.) are just as important--possibly more important--roles he played than his role in the Pearl Harbor attack.
I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but Genda's role as a postwar politician, at minimum, needs to be pointed out in a biography--and I don't see what parts of it "make no sense" as you so boldly claim.H27kim (talk) 00:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 25[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Blaxploitation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Inglorious Bastards (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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:22, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
