Could you also look at An Jung-geun? There's a very simple dispute going on there - I mean it's very straight, it won't take you much time to decide on which side is wrong. Thx. An RFC I filed is not responsive. (Wikimachine 21:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

TB Article

Hey, you've done some really nice work with the article. Would you like to finish it up before it's moved to the main space. I don't mind if you want the recognition for creating the article. :-) JmFangio| ►Chat 22:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos to your further changes - let me know how you want to proceed. JmFangio| ►Chat 00:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the article to the main space - we have a little more work left to do in that we need to be able to cite some of the content; but once that's done - i'm going to dual nominate us for DYK! Keep up the work and I look forward to your continued contributions. JmFangio| ►Chat 06:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your info, I confess I thought DYK nomination too ^^; Nice to work with you, and I'll be happy to continue to collaborate in this field. We are still missing many great players: thank you again for having hinted at that! Cheers, --Aphaia 09:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh that will be wonderful. We do need to cite some of the stuff, from my understanding - we can't use the other wiki site as the source for the article. I'm gonna work some more on this later and i agree with you 100% on all things! Great to have someone to work with. JmFangio| ►Chat 16:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're Welcome!

I'm glad to help any time :-) You never said you were an admin...wow! Do you know anything about the ForensicsOnline.net ForensicsWiki? It doesn't seem to have any admins, but de-spamming it has been my pet project lately...Scigirl543 13:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I am not an admin here. I haven't heard the wiki, later I'll check it ... having admin mops is not so a big deal, and if you are annoyed with spamming, I think, you would feel better with those mops ... :) --Aphaia 16:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Schrödinger Ondo

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Schrödinger Ondo, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Christianity in Japan

はじめまして。アメリカのジョーレンです。よろしくお願いします…

Thank you for your edits to Christianity in Japan. I always worry that the article does not have enough information, so I am glad for anything we can add to it. I wanted to let you know two things:

1.) I edited the grammar and the formatting of your recent edits to make it sound better in English and also to make it conform to the style guide. I would appreciate it if you could review my edit and make sure I understood your meaning correctly.

2.) I am the person that added the section about Christmas and other holidays, and the KFC was part of that. I am not sure if you saw it, but there was a source added one sentence later. It was intended to support both sentences, but I realized it might have been easy to miss. Now, I included another copy of the reference next to the KFC statement to avoid confusion. The reference used, in case you want to read it, is here: Christmas in Japan: From Mesopotamia to Colonel Sanders. It is actually an interesting story about how marketing campaigns resulted in two new customs, Christmas cakein 1910 and KFC in the 1970s. I have other references too, but I thought that was the most interesting.

I want to make sure my English is understood - I don't mean to say KFC is required to celebrate Christmas. No :) However, there are many activities people use for celebrating Christmas in Japan, and KFC is one of them. In America, nobody would use KFC to celebrate Christmas, so it is an interesting detail. It certainly was a strange experience for me to see it in Japan.

I was in Tokyo for a year and I was very surprised by Christmas cake and by KFC. I come from America, and KFC is American, but we do not have any KFC Christmas here. When I asked my friends in Japan why people bring KFC to Christmas parties, they were surprised... they thought it was an American custom. I'd never heard of eating KFC for Christmas. It seemed strange to me, but I saw people do it and they bring it to Japanese parties :O. In America, if I brought KFC to a Christmas party, people would look at me like I was from Mars. Maybe it's more of a Tokyo thing, I don't know... ?

Then I went to a Christmas party and my friends told me there was Christmas cake. I asked "what is Christmas cake?" They were shocked... "You're American," they said, "don't you eat Christmas cake?" I had never heard of Christmas cake either! It is not a custom in America, but it tastes very good, so maybe we should make it a custom! :D

I removed the description about KFC. ABC Article Directory is comprised of user published contents with Creative common license. See Terms of Service ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 23:45, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Phoenix, thanks for letting me know you have some doubts about the source. But next time, it would be better if you just removed the reference and put a {{fact}} tag on it instead. That allows other people to supplement with more references instead of just wholesale deletion; it's a little more polite and allows discussion and consensus to avoid risking an edit war. I will be happy to do further research and supplement this claim with further references as soon as I get some time. -- Joren (talk) 05:59, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys, I don't have sources at hand (it's at my parents' in Tokyo) but could say:

chickens in Christmas could be back to 1960s or earlier. My mother, married in late 1960s, had a cookbook published in 1960s and "roasted chicken" was one of recommendations to Christmas dinner.
I guess it was back to the occupation period, from 1945 till 1955, like Christmas cake, but it is an assumption.
I'm a Tokyo-born and raised Japanese and know the KFC campaign. Some might be influenced, but not all I think. You could say Japanese think chicken is a must for Christmas dinner, but the way to cook may vary from family to family. Some prefers roasted one, some prefer fried, kara-age or KFC. You can find it in Japanese recipe books ... many offers chicken for Christmas. In that situation focusing up KFC only is too much unbalanced in my opinion. --Aphaia (talk) 08:05, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good info, thanks for the reply. Makes sense, very interesting... this makes me wonder if when my friends said KFC is traditional, they just say that because KFC is a kind of chicken? I guess that could explain what I read and hear in sources about there being a KFC tradition. I wonder if it is a kind of an accidental bias? People from countries that only do roasted chicken would immediately notice if people used KFC, but they might not notice if people eat roast chicken, since that seems "normal" to them. So the idea of a "KFC tradition" becomes born because people only talk about the part of the tradition that's new and interesting, and not the part everyone already knows about. I wonder if that's what happened? Maybe that's why I see Western news media talk about a KFC tradition in Japan all the time.
So I guess the sentence could say "things like chicken and Christmas cake." Maybe it would be good to point out in the article that the chicken can be any style including fast food, since this is a surprise to many readers of Wikipedia. I'll keep digging for sources other than news clippings (hopefully...Google hates me today) but if you can find the sources at your mothers' place that would be great to have in the article. Thanks,

-- Joren (talk) 09:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and good luck for your googling. Your reply reminds me another points we together missed before: oven or lack of oven at Japanese kitchen.

Japanese traditional kitchen had no oven. Now it is a familiar equipment as the microwave-oven set, but it was very rare in the mid 1970s' Japan. So in those days for most people roasted chicken might not be what they did, but rather what they bought: like Christmas cake. I guess it would be a horrible idea for Westerners the major parts of Christmas dinner is take out. But for Japanese, it looks not so much lazy. So KFC might find a possible market - sell theirs instead of roasted one ...

It would be nice some notable author pointed it out, but I have no idea. --Aphaia (talk) 11:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of off-topic of me, but I was impressed by those wonderful microwave-ovens. Although, they are small. We decided to celebrate Thanksgiving American-style, and didn't have access to a professional kitchen. Of course we wanted turkey, so we used these microwave ovens to prepare it. It was nearly impossible to fit the turkey inside the machine, and took such a long time to prepare that we were afraid we would never make the dinner in time! But it worked out very well.-- Joren (talk)
