I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, really nice work on the Only Yesterday article so far! If you're interested in working on Ghibli-related articles on Wikipedia, I would suggest joining the task force. There are a few other editors who've worked in these areas signed up there — it has been dormant for a while, but that, of course, can change. If you ever need a hand editing in these areas, feel free to reach out! I'm usually around chipping away on one of my projects and I'd be happy to help where I can. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TechnoSquirrel69 ahhhhhhh thank you!!! ;-;

thank you for cleaning up the page too! i've mostly been focused on kurosawa (trying to do more with drunken angel and dersu uzala) but i plan to continue working on only yesterday + other articles somewhat, it'd be nice to coordinate more with yourself (and others). please bear with me and my mistakes!! よろしくお願いします！！--Plifal (talk) 05:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New message to Plifal

Just wanted to say great work on getting my favorite Kurosawa to GA! I wish I had seen this before. Cheers! Remsense ‥ 论 21:46, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Remsense, ahhh thank you! ;_; that means a lot. you probably don't remember but we've interacted a few times on the meiji restoration and other pages, and i highly respect your opinion as an editor.

currently there's a peer review open as i'm seeking to take high and low to featured article status. if you have the time and the inclination, i would very much appreciate any additional comments you have. thank you again for your kind words!--Plifal (talk) 01:15, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you also! As you can see, I spent a bit of time tweaking things I'm of a disposition to notice. If you have questions about any, please let me know! Remsense ‥ 论 01:16, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Remsense, i think i understand the implementation for the policy, it will just likely take me a while to pick up where i missed it and incorporate it more. as such i'm very appreciative of the time you take to fix such mistakes. the only thing i will query is the mdy format, but that's not a big deal! thank you for reaching out and offering your support!!-Plifal (talk) 01:30, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lucy Sheen (June 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WeWake was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please note that biographies requires significant coverage about the individual or subject in several independent, reliable sources. For this purpose, interviews, passing mention, or coverage of something they participated in may not meet the criteria if the sources are not about the individual itself.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Drunken Angel

Hi there. You've been very active on this article recently - thanks. Could you sort out a couple of discrepancies it now has? Firstly, you added the 'Use British English' template a few weeks ago, which is fine with me as a Brit, although I haven't reread the article to check for British useage. Secondly, however, it also has 'Use mdy dates'. As far as I know, it's not a rule but generally people use dmy dates with British English. There are now some date formatting discrepancies:

Infobox says "27 April 1948"
Lead and Production say "March 10 1948", without a comma after the 10
Theatrical says "April 27 1948", without a comma after the 27
Bibliography entries use mdy format

I'll leave it to you. I don't mind whichever way you decide (with a slight preference for British + dmy throughout). Masato.harada (talk) 16:07, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Masato.harada, sure! i just used what was already present (with mistakes arising from habit). iirc the prose was inconsistent beforehand so i decided to use british english since i default to that, and mdy was used so i'm planning to stick to that too, whereas e.g. high and low (1963) used inconsistent engvar and dmy dates so i defaulted to breng and dmy, and rhapsody in august (1991) used ameng and mdy so i'm defaulting to that. apologies for the inconsistencies as they occur. i plan to clean it up, but since i'm going through the article to write it thoroughly, it's not a priority for me. equally if you would like to change it i don't have any qualms about it, engvar and dates don't matter much to me so long as it's generally consistent and agreed upon. thank you for your oversight!!!--Plifal (talk) 17:03, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
