Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi

Remember now, make sure you also go to EVERY one of those artists you added to the article and have him/her link back to Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi. We don't allow additions of artists names without having the artists link back. Not doing so within a reasonable amount of time will result in reversal of your edits. Groink 02:31, 5 Apr 2007 (CDT)

Further editing of DramaWiki

Before you touch even one more article on DramaWiki, read the following guidelines:

DramaWiki Manual of Style

Japanese TV Show Article Formatting

Japanese Artist Article Formatting

Romanization of Japanese

Read each one 100 times if you have to. You made mistakes on several areas:

• Dramas within an artist profile are listed in descending order. You stuck Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi on the bottom of each list, when it should have been near or at the top.
• "Birthdate" and NOT "Date of birth"
• The kanji on one of the actresses was incorrect (Ozawa Maria).
• Do not include body measurements of an actress (B/W/H). Include only height and weight.
• You did not categorize any of the new articles you created. You're supposed to add [[Category:JActress]] for actresses, [[Category:JActor]] for actors, etc.
• And once more, you forgot to add Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi to many of the artists you added. I spent 30 minutes cleaning that mess up.

Just like Wikipedia, we're VERY strict about how articles are organized, written, and maintained. Groink 02:59, 6 Apr 2007 (CDT)

Answers to "Read each one 100 times if you have to"

You said "Dramas within an artist profile are listed in descending order. You stuck Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi on the bottom of each list, when it should have been near or at the top."

You mean in descending ALPHABETICAL order? I think it makes more sense to list dramas in CHRONOLOGICAL order.

You said "Birthdate" and NOT "Date of birth".

I was just following the practice used here. Don't believe me? Well, click on those artist links on Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi's page. For instance, Takahashi Katsunori, Ebihara Yuri, Sakurai Atsuko... want me to go on?? I pasted Sakurai Atsuko's profile here for your reference.

Profile

   * Name: 櫻井淳子 / Sakurai Atsuko
   * Profession: Actress
   * Date of Birth: 05 January 1973
   * Birthplace: Saitama prefecture
   * Height: 162cm
   * Weight: 46kg
   * Star Sign: Capricorn
   * Blood Type: A
   * Talent Agency:

By the way, the term "Date of Birth" is commonly used in places like Japan and Hong Kong.

You said "The kanji on one of the actresses was incorrect (Ozawa Maria)."

My kanji is CORRECT, but if you want to use Katakana, this is okay to me. However, majority of users here have non-Japanese origins, I think more people will understand if I translate those Japanese Katakana into Chinese kanji. Also, notice that on Sakurai Atsuko's profile, the name is 櫻井淳子, which are Chinese kanji. If you are that strict, replace all Chinese kanji with Japanese kanji. In the above example, 櫻井淳子 should be 桜井淳子(Japanese Kanji).

You said "Do not include body measurements of an actress (B/W/H). Include only height and weight."

Body measurements of an actress are widely publicized information in Japan's media, just like blood type and birthplace. In case you don't know, body measurements statistics are commonly found in Wikipedia.

You said "You did not categorize any of the new articles you created. You're supposed to add for actresses, for actors, etc."

I will give you a quote from DramaWiki's main page: "Don't be afraid about layout or formatting. Information is the important factor for this site; other more experienced users can always clean up the format of a page for you."

You said "And once more, you forgot to add Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi to many of the artists you added. I spent 30 minutes cleaning that mess up. "

I spent more than 3 HOURS to contribute information here, and I created the artist pages as you requested. However, I only do things step by step, when I have some more important things to do, I will stop and leave it until I come next time. As an editor, isn't editing and correcting mistakes YOUR JOB?

You said "Just like Wikipedia, we're VERY strict about how articles are organized, written, and maintained."

If so, go ahead and correct ALL the artist profiles the way you want. Please be reasonable. DON'T JUST PICK ON ME!

"Everyone is welcome to contribute here and add any information they may know about certain dramas or artists."(quoted from main page) You owe me an apology, but it is fine if you just say "thanks".

Most of what you discuss above is covered in the DramaWiki Manual of Style. All editors should read this guide and do their best to follow it. It doesn't matter what is common in Japan, Hong Kong or any other Wikipedia. We have our own style guides.

You can't expect other editors to clean up your mess if you repetedly make edits that go against the style guide. Using chinese kanji for the Japanese names is a really bad idea and should be avoided. DramaWiki is a wikipedia for people who can read english. All non-english data should be there because the article itself requires it (Japanese names should be written in japanese, chinese in chinese etc). From now on do your best to follow our guidelines. --Gryzze 18:08, 10 Apr 2007 (CDT)
