Hi, how are your changes compatible with MOS:RETAIN? Japan is not the US. There are no strong national ties to any English-speaking country because it's literally an article about Japan. --mfb (talk) 10:20, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Don’t do this please. Kevinng20021129 (talk) 04:19, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Don’t revert my edition please, if you revert my edition again, I will sue you. Thanks! Kevinng20021129 (talk) 04:23, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

You can’t make up rules for editing Wikipedia, especially self-proclaimed rules about suing people for reverting your edits. That’s a quick way to get banned from editing. If you want to make constructive edits, that’s fine and welcomed! There’s a lot to do on the articles you seem to care about, but making threats is no way to start constructive discourse. Mccunicano☕️ 05:01, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Dear all participants and organizers,

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, all the postcards are postponed due to the shut down of the postal system all over the world. Hope all the postcards can arrive as soon as the postal system return and please take good care.

Best regards,

Wikipedia Asian Month International Team 2020.03

Hi Mccunicano. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", 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:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! qedk (t 心 c) 14:07, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, please don't edit the hooks that are already on the template. If you wish to make a change, please add a new hook labeled ALT1, ALT2, etc., either at the top or bottom of the thread. Otherwise promoters and administrators cannot possibly follow the discussion. I don't have time to undo your changes; please undo them and add new wording as alts.

On 29 May 2020, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Twin Cities riots, which you created. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. —Bagumba (talk) 20:00, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Abroad in Japan is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abroad in Japan until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Thanoscar21_{talk, contribs} 18:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

I hope so too. I wrote a couple of papers on it when I was a student at UGA, so I feel like I have a responsibility in the light of recent events to make its history as transparent as possible. Mccunicano☕️ 21:34, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

For the paper ones, we will track the latest status of the international postal systems of all the countries and hope the postcards and certifications can be delivered to your mailboxes as soon as possible.

The coordinates you entered in the Kyūroku-jima article missed the islets by 42 km. I am curious to know the etiology of such errors in Wikipedia articles. Do you mind telling me the genesis of your error? Abductive (reasoning) 01:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing those. I couldn't tell you where they came from at this point, I must have seen the point in one of the sources and mistakenly used that as the point for the islets rather than the coordinates already established on the pre-extant Japanese or German Wikipedia articles. ⑉⑉Mccunicano☕️ 01:32, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
