Yup, that was me. :) That was originally a speedy delete due to lack of content and being little more than a placeholder for the IMDb link. It looks better, but it's still a bit stubby although certainly not a speedy at this point. Since you're still "trying things out" as you say, may I say "welcome to the club" and suggest that you look at other movie-related articles to get a feel for the style. For instance, you should have a cast and character list, more of a plot synopsis, perhaps a taxobox with basic info as well. The Wikipedia:Manual of style is a huge help. I'll be glad to help as well. Feel free to leave word on my talk page any time you'd like. I won't be near a computer this weekend, but I'll see any message you leave come Monday. Have a great weekend! - Lucky 6.9 14:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks from Pamri
Hi, Thanks a ton for voting at my RFA. I am now a wikipedia administrator and I hope I can keep your trust. Thanks again. --Pamri • Talk • Reply 03:56, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
My RFA
Thank you very much for supporting my rather contentious request for adminship, but now that I've been promoted, I'd like to do a little dance here *DANCES*. If you have any specific issues/problems with me, please feel free to state them on my talk page so that I can work to prevent them in the future, and thanks once again! ALKIVAR™
07:50, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my request for adminship.
The final outcome was (96/2/0), so I am now an administrator. If you ever have any queries about my actions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Again, thanks!FireFox 18:23, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi! This is not systematic bias. I am an Indian. I've nominated US lists for deletion as well. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newsweek’s List of Top High Schools (2003), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools (2005). Could you please do a rethink on your vote. utcursch | talk 05:48, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you for contacting me but my vote still stands. If you can cite an existing precedent that shows Wikipedia excludes these type of lists I may be willing to reconsider. Yamaguchi先生 07:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
AIV requests
Hi, I blocked the two IPs you recently listed. I have a request though: when you are leaving {{test}} notices on talk pages, could you please remember to sign your posts after each test warning, so that it's easy to confirm that an IP has continued to vandalize after having been warned? Thanks! — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 08:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- Is it okay if I just put the time instead? I do not want to give those type of people my name. Yamaguchi先生 08:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- Sure, I think a five tilde ~~~~~ timestamp would be perfectly fine. Thanks! — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 08:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- I mean no offense toward Asians, but I really have to ask: How many vandals do you think would be able to type "Yamaguchi先生" on their keyboards? For many users, it appears as "Yamaguchi" followed by two squares anyway. It looks like you are a new user, so I will give you a suggestion if you are concerned about this: you might consider setting your signature to something like:
<span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{Localurl:User_talk:Yamaguchi先生|action=edit§ion=new}} Yamaguchi先生]</span>
- which would appear like this when you use "~~~~":
- Yamaguchi先生 22:21, 19 October 2024
- Click on it to see the difference. This setting can be found in the "Nickname:" box of Special:Preferences. Doing this would at least force the unsophisticated vandals to create a new section on your talk page rather than giving them easy access to vandalize it, or your user page.

Vandalism warnings
Hi, thank you for trying to improve the Wikipedia by removing vandalism and warning vandals. :D Normally we should only start with a test, test2, or test2a template for the first warning on someone, depending on how blatant their vandalism is. It's sorta biting newbies to start with a test3 or higher, unless they're doing something *really* stupid. Most vandals are simply newbies who are all like "omg i can edit this site? wtf were they thinking?!?!?!11". They might not even realize other people could see their edits. Then, instead of simply banning them on the first offense, we generally give them numerous warnings, and they think "Hey, these people are pretty cool. I screwed up their site and they didn't even ban me!". And maybe they'll be new contributers. :D Anyway, have a cabal toaster for your hard work. --Phroziac(talk)
15:31, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you for the toaster and the advice. Yamaguchi先生 15:32, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks from myself as well for stopping the defacement at Patrick Henry College. I second Phroziac: I have reverted many edits by users such as those three and they usually stop after a couple of warnings. --DDerby-[[User talk:DDerby|<small>(talk)</small>]] 08:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- I see you're editting again. Maybe you can explain what "Yamaguchi" means... Thanx 68.39.174.238 01:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- It's a common Japanese family name, and it's a name of a Japanese town too. --Ichiro 01:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Your VandalProof application
Thanks for applying to use VandalProof. Unfortunately, our software is not particularly good at recognising non-ascii characters. We have had issues in the past with such users, and in this case I am going to have to politely request that you register an alternative account (visit Special:Userlogin while still logged in so the account is recorded as a subsidiary of this one, and we cna prove it belongs to you), it would be sensible to do it with a similar name, in order to use the tool. We will of course consider edits from both accounts for the purposes of verification and other processes such as WP:RFA should be directed to the presence of contributions from both accounts. My apologies for the problems, and I hope that we can get you up and running with VandalProof soon. Thanks. —Xyrael / 21:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Although I have no problem myself with you striking out your name from the holds section, for technical reasons it's probably best if you ask a moderator to do it. I'm not sure if it applies to that page, but on another VP does some strange stuff to recognise who cna edit it. I'm not criticisng you though, just letting you know that there is a better option :) Thanks, I'll go approve your app now. —Xyrael / 19:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you Xyrael, please remove my strikethrough if it might cause any technical problems. Yamaguchi先生 19:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Pending deletion of Greg Bravo (Gary Scott)
*Articles for deletion. I invite you to review your vote for deletion on the Greg Bravo (Gary Scott) article again (proposed on 6/19), as official and reliable proof that can be actually be verified and not "talked about" has been provided. Apparently the user that calls himself Fortheloveofhampsters has a vendetta against the subject of the article and has been suspected of being a sockpupett according to the history tabs of article and its related talk page! He is now attacking the related article of Steam (band) in the same manner. Of course, everyone has the right to edit, but must also provide reliable and verifiable sources and maintain a Neutral Point of View according to official Wikipedia policy. Apparently, the user who may be one of more of those who are voting for deletion are definitely not neutral and do not play by all the rules. Does anyone enforce them even-handedly?
I would not like to see this site become a blog, as some have called it, and would like to continue my contributions. Is the only way to set the record straight to form coalitions and posses like America was run in the days of the "Wild West". Seems to me even then, there were at least some rules to abide by that were actually enforced and not totally ignored by those in charge.
Can you at least provide some guidance to me? So far, logical arguments and intelligence in accordance with the (sporadically enforced) rules of Wikipedia do not seem to be effective. --Countdewiki 04:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well as I have stated on the deletion page this article is in dire need of reliable sources to be kept, otherwise it is not verifiable and gives the appearance of being a hoax. Yamaguchi先生 18:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Armando Lloréns-Sar
Why are you restoring content designed to harrass and attack the subject? Whether the article should exist or not is a matter for AFD. But that is no justification for restoring attacking content. Most people who have not voted to delete have voted to merge. Why do you want to overturn the majority opinion, let alone restoring content meant to threaten the livelihood of the subject? Guettarda 03:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Please allow the discussion to complete, as I have requested in my edit summary. The article content is completely neutral in tone, based upon facts from reliable sources, and is not even remotely an attack page. Your implication that a majority wants this to be redirected is unfounded, as the number of those who have expressed their will to keep it equals that of those who wish to see it merged somewhere else, while those who have requested it be deleted are in the minority. Thank you, Yamaguchi先生 06:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- How is it not an attack page when it was created and used to out the subject and threaten his livelihood? Why do you believe that Wikipedia should be used for harrassment? And how does one version or another "allow for discussion"? People who don't know what a page history is probably aren't familar enough with Wikipedia to participate in policy discussions. Guettarda 13:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Nothing within the text is of an attack-type nature, and I am not sure what policy discussion you are referring to. Can you try to explain this to me in a calm manner? For example, if the subject goes on National Public Radio's Morning Edition and other major radio broadcasts and identifies himself as attorney Armando Lloréns of Daily KOS, and then it is cited and written about at Wikipedia, how does this threaten the livelihood of that person? I honestly do not understand. Yamaguchi先生 17:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello. You recently participated in an AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taco Bell menu. The article was deleted but is up for deletion review here. I thought you may be interested in participating in that discussion. Ifnord 03:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Luther Burbank article
I just wanted to let you know, since you edited it at least once, that it is now nominated as a featured article. It might not make it since it still needs some more work. Thanks. Steve Dufour 18:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry for delayed response, it will be my pleasure to help where I can. Yamaguchi先生 20:33, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I made some additions to this and wondered what you thought. There seems to be an interesting article in here. --Guinnog 01:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Roy St. Clair
I already argued to keep in the AfD - but I'd like to hear a little more about your argument for undeletion before I really say whether it's worthwhile. I suspect you'd need to dig up some high quality sources before you stood a chance. WilyD 19:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Username suggestion
I think your username is inappropriate in that it contains non-Latin characters. Please consider changing it. Thanks. J Ditalk 20:39, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your concern, but this is my name and I have no intentions of changing it. You will find that many long term contributors to Wikipedia have names which contain non-Latin characters. Yamaguchi先生 20:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Power Glove
On the Power Glove article you entered an unreferenced tag. Could you please be more specific over what part you wish to have referenced? The Powerglove is a pop-culture icon and as such; statements in the article may be difficult to source because they are considered verifyable popular/common knowledge - Wikipedia:Common knowledge. So please specify the segment you think is needing of referencing. - Roidroid 06:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- Most of what is contained in the article is not common knowledge at all. The Power Glove may not have been as large a commercial failure as the R.O.B., but simply attaining pop-culture status does not excuse us from citing sources within any given article. Since you disagree with a general {{unreferenced}} template, I will be providing citation needed tags where it is appropriate. Yamaguchi先生 22:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you, the individual citation tags are much more helpful Roidroid 07:19, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

You voted keep on the deletion vote. Cyde deleted it when the votes for either opinion were equal which is quiet bbizarre. If it is ok with you then let's take it to deletion review? Hope to here from you asap. Unitedroad 06:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear Yamaguchi,

Username
Hello Yamaguchi. I saw you reverting vandalism while on RC patrol. You do quite a good job. However, your username is against Wikipedia's official policy of usernames. Kindly review the policy and consider changing your username. WP:USERNAME states as follows —
- Names with non-Latin characters: Unfortunately, most of your fellow editors will be unable to read a name written in Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or other scripts. Many of them will also be additionally burdened, as such names may be displayed for them only as question marks ("??? ??"), squares ("□□□ □□"), replacement characters ("??? ??") or worse, nonsense or mojibake ("Ã!%ôs*"). If your name is usually written in a non-Latin script, please consider transliterating it to avoid confusion, and allow easier access to your talk page by typing your name in the search field or URL bar.
My suggestion is that you could remove the non-latin characters. Visit WP:CHU for changing your username. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 12:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you Headless Nick, but I am not interesting in changing, this is my name. Yamaguchi先生 12:26, 16 October 2006
- I do not contend whether it is your name or not. But the thing is that it is an official policy on Wikipedia. Non-Latin characters cause trouble to users. Please keep an open mind on this issue and comply. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 12:45, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- I saw that this message was removed by some other user, probably by mistake so I took the liberty of restoring it. I have seen you around and skimmed through your contributions. In my opinion you have a good potential to become a future administrator. This would be sadly hampered if you continued with a username with non-latin characters in it. Please assume good faith with me, and get your username changed. You can also get an anonymous username so that when you warn the vandals, they will not come to know about your name. Best regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- I will have to agree with Nearly Headless Nick on this one. We cannot force you to change your username, but please seriously consider it or many editors will start off against you if you were to pursue something like an RFA. Thanks. —Mets501 (talk) 01:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

- Is this not a global project? I understand that for some it may appear as two boxes or question marks, but fail to see how this has any impact on what we are doing here — working together to to make a better encyclopedia. There are many editors who already have account names that use non-ASCII characters in addition in addition to mine, and I politely ask that you please respect my wishes to use my name to edit. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Yamaguchi先生 01:51, 22 October 2006
- Seriously WTF Nick... This isnt an IMAGE. This is a valid acceptable username that was made long before WP:SIG said stuff about no non-english characters. This isnt a drain on server resources, in fact forcing him to change names WOULD be a drain on server resources as the server would have to redirect all of his previous edits to a new username. Let this one drop dude... ALKIVAR™ ☢ 03:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Please, I do not want people to argue over this here, that is not my intent. If it would help, I am willing to submit this to the scrutiny of the username talk page or village pump for wider discussion. This should not be a big deal. Yamaguchi先生 03:32, 22 October 2006
- Hi Yamaguchi: it's not the signature that's the problem: you can feel free to keep the (japanese?) characters in your signature; it's the actual username itself, as it's impossible for a user like me to type your username into the search box and find your userpage without finding one of your contributions and clicking on it. —Mets501 (talk) 11:08, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
As has been said several times, your username is in violation of Wikipedia's username policy because it uses non-Latin characters. Please head over to WP:CHU as soon as possible to request that your username be changed. Failure to do so in a timely manner will result in you being blocked. -- tariqabjotu 03:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Do not threaten me, that is highly uncalled for. It has been explained above why changing my name is not necessary and I have put in place redirects like requested. Futhermore, my account was created many months before this policy was enacted. Thanks for understanding, Yamaguchi先生 03:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Where does it say that? -- tariqabjotu 03:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Up above. If you believe my username is violating please feel free to discuss it on WP:CHU. Thanks, Yamaguchi先生 03:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- I raised the question at the administrators' noticeboard. However, note that users who repeatedly ignore requests to change usernames due to inappropriateness can be blocked. That was not highly uncalled for; if the compromise does not work, my warning will stand. -- tariqabjotu 03:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Considering the above it was an uncalled for threat in my opinion. If it comes down to it, I'll leave voluntarily. I was here long before such a Euro-centric policy was put in place. Yamaguchi先生 03:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- You must be referring to Mets' comprimise. That's interesting... not sure if that works. I'll get back to you. -- tariqabjotu 03:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- As you can see, there's little or no support for a block over this matter. You should register User:Yamaguchi, though, to make sure no one else does. Chick Bowen 04:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
An inquiry.
Yamaguchi xiang sheng, Do you mind explaining as to why I will be banned if I continue to revert to the version of the International School of Kuala Lumpur article that includes the Student Opinions? I'm much confused by your actions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yetieater (talk • contribs) 12:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not place for your personal opinion, stop adding nonsense. Yamaguchi先生 12:36, 16 October 2006
- Are not personal opinions useful in themselves? I see no purpose for the deletion of such opinions. Perhaps other students have a more favorable account of their experience at the institution. I myself see no reason for such behavior against the posting of personal opinions. Yetieater 12:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yamaguchi先生,
I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you have recently become a participant in this project. To bring you up to speed, I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri (talk . contribs) 10:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Todd Grisham - KOLD-TV.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Todd Grisham - KOLD-TV.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 22:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please delete this image if you believe it fails fair use criteria. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 22:21, 14 November 2006

Your username
Hi Yamaguchi先生. How about this for a compromise: you register the name "Yamaguchi", and create the pages User:Yamaguchi, which would redirect to User:Yamaguchi先生, and User talk:Yamaguchi, which would redirect to User talk:Yamaguchi先生. Therefore other editors could reach your user and user talk pages easily. :-) —Mets501 (talk) 00:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Health Wiki Research
A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.
Please consider taking our survey here.
This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.
We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.
Thanks, --Sharlene Thompson 18:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I do not participate on any health-related wiki sites. May I ask why you selected me for this survey and where I can confirm this project approval? Yamaguchi先生 02:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
You have put yourself as interested in helping out at WikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

WP:UW future?
Hi Yamaguchi先生,
Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace templates. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.

Invitation to discussion on notability
Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 17:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315

Thanks for uploading Image:Todd_Grisham_-_KOLD-TV.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Paul McCarthy
I read your comment in the Paul McCarthy deletion discussion. I do hope you will take the time to find the sources that you mention. The AfD discussion seemed terribly one-sided (and very quick) given the lack of sources. --Bejnar 19:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- If by one-sided you mean unanimous, then yes. There are sources now so I believe this matter can be closed. Yamaguchi先生 03:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
