[Wikipedia-l] japanese around

[Tomos at Wikipedia]

Yes, I'm around. :-)

I am an ambassador from Japanese Wikipedia. And I have been active since the 
time ja. wikipedia became active. If you have any question about ja., please 
let me know.

It is true that I am virtually the only japanese wikipedian who posts on 
mailinglists.

I was asked by some japanese wikipedian if I would run for the board. I 
might... I am still thinking. But because I am virtually the only one on 
meta's English page, sourceforge's bug report section, mailing lists, and 
other places speaking on behalf of Japanese wikipedians, I hesitate a bit. I 
am also virtually the only person who relays news, announcements, call for 
comments/ votes, etc., from outside of ja. There are other things that I do, 
and not many others do, including responding to press inquiries,  in-depth 
discussion of GFDL related issues, talking to Brion and Jimbo when their 
attention is needed, etc.

Well, enough of bragging.

I am interested in increasing ingerlingual sharing of wikipedia experiences. 
Earlier this year, I indeed shared an overview of legal discussions (past & 
present) on Japanese Wikipedia. (URL:

)

Also, if you prefer communicating on Japanese Wikipedia in another language, 
we have a page for you:

Tomos
