Thank you Professor Kubo.

I think that Junko Tabei should be listed on the Wikipedia front page on June 28. However I do not know the rules of Japanese Wikipedia.

Also, the English Wikipedia will not put Junko Tabei on their front page until the article about her is properly referenced.

So, I ask here for help on both of these matters. My apologies for using English on this list.

Regards, John Vandenberg

scaled Mount Everest on 16 May 1975, but you wont see this anniversary, or any other female anniversary, on the front page of Wikipedia on 16 May (tomorrow).

Here is why:

Next opportunity to feature Junko Tabei is 28 June.

To members and to Kubo:

It seems to my eyes that Kubo's comments are off-topic and misdirecting.

The youtubes putted are not related to Tabei issue nor Wikipedia. Kubo may not understand what Vandenberg want to and what he says.

To Vandenberg:

There is an entry of Tabei in Japanese Wikipedia "selected anniversary" page: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9D%E3%83%BC%E3%83%84/%E4... (see 16 May, this is sports portal anniversary days page).

On the other hand, there is no in-line citation at JAWP [[田部井淳子]], so I've putted Template:参照方法 (en:Template:Citation style) on the page. I hope his can be some help anyway. Yes, we have a time limit: 28 June, but the day comes every years, please be patient.

Regards,
