User talk:Marsian~enwikibooks

Hey Marsian,

Thanks for your corrections on the Japanese wiki! If you correct the Japanese, don't mark the change as minor. The Japanese is the most important thing on the page!

P.S. Where are you from? 何弁でしょうか.

 * Hello. All right, I won't check "minor" when I fix (forgive me please when I forget).


 * I'm from a small city in 北海道 (not Sapporo). Thus I can speak 北海道弁 a little :) 「...だべや」 or 「わや (very)」 or... kind of that. Where are you from, ToothingLummox? Aren't you a Japanese? No? まぁそうだったらそうだったで，英語で会話する日本人同士ってのもなんか変な感じがしますが... - Marsian / talk 16:42:14, 2005-08-27 (UTC)


 * 私は日本人じゃないですから、 no need to worry about 変な感. I'm an American from near Washington, DC. I spent a few years in Japan (「英語分からへん」or 「○○先生いひん？」 or「靴下投げんといて！」or (from an actual lesson) "It's a dog" =「犬やで」), but I still make plenty of Japanese mistakes. Your corrections to the Japanese Wikibook are much appreciated.  You're more than welcome to do it again sometime. -ToothingLummox 13:24, 29 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I see. So you've been to Kansai or western Japanese. I myself have several friends from Kansai and mostly Kyushu and I like Kagoshima-ben much. I'm glad if my edits and/or comments improve the Book, thanks (but remember, anytime you can say to me 「ちょ、ほんまやかましいわ自分. 黙っとき」 or like that :). - Marsian / talk 17:12:48, 2005-08-29 (UTC)

English Corrections
I just wanted to point out that some of the corrections I made were more stylistic than grammatical. A lot of "learner language" falls into a gray area; it's not really wrong but it's not how most native speakers would say it. Anyway, since you don't actively study English, make sure that you actively pay attention when you encounter it. :)

 * All right... You know, your corrections are really helpful to(for?) me. I think I've got to pay back (by editing the Japanese book :). Thanks again. - 08:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi. I left my comments on the Talk:. - Marsian / talk 04:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, very much! Your comments were very enjoyable to read, I hope you will be able to check the page every so often. Gmcfoley 21:34, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 六つ: This was a stupid mistake. It should have been むっつ, not むつ.
 * 1) As for the obsolete kanji and obsolete readings, the story is approx. 100 years old, so it will probably contain things that are no longer used. I think that it would be cool to keep them, but I added a note beside those words.
 * 2) The purpose of this page is to give people the chance to practice reading real Japanese, with all the words and grammar explained on the same page.

re Thanks for the rollbacks
It was a vandal bot, it appears it was programmed to attack until it was blocked and then move on. It hit Wikipedia,Wiktionary,Wikibooks,Meta, and Wikiquote, in that order.It may have continued on to other Wikis, but Brion blocked it WMF wide.--Cspurrier 23:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't notice that. Thanks anyway. - Marsian / talk 11:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

みんでぃです
ウィキテク（Howto Wiki）のみんでぃです. ご無沙汰して、すみません. Maz, thank you for the comment! I have write you back.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Marsian. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marsian~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:25, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
