Re: 複写する
こんにちは. 先の "複写" の編集コメントを拝見してこちらへやって来ました. 名詞 + する の動詞については、独立した動詞のエントリを設け、名詞エントリとの間でテンプレートを用いてクロスリファレンスする、という形が今のところの標準スタイルです. それに基づき 複写、複写する、を編集してみましたので結果をこちらと併せてご参考ください. それでは！ --Tohru 09:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * ご教示ありがとうございます. 参考に致します. 今後ともよろしく御願いいたします. --Aphaia 15:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, glad to have more people working in the Japanese language here :)

The pages for single kanji were loaded from a database that has some strange things in it, so feel free to remove readings that don't exist.

Also, a lot of people add things in the translingual section that only apply to Chinese: -- translingual must apply to Japanese as well, so "surname" doesn't belong there. I suppose this sort of thing belongs in the Chinese sections. Cynewulf 15:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Cynewulf, for your welcoming. On translingual, I agree with you. Those Chinese culture matters are better to go to Chinese (both Mandarin, and perhaps Cantonese). Could you please give me a guideline how to add a language specific usage or meaning to those single kanji articles? Cheers, --Aphaia 17:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what's best -- for 法, I moved "France" to the Mandarin section, under the hanzi section (, also added ほう there). The templates mark cases where we need some definitions like this. For cases specific to Japanese, see what I did to 仏: . As more people pay attention to this, we can decide together the best way. Cynewulf 17:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah agreed. We would like more people to get involved. I found another attempt at 米, here "usage note" is used for similar information. --Aphaia 17:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
