I'm afraid I can't help you with Japanese, but User:Jun-Dai may be able to assist if you have Japanese-specific questions. --Dvortygirl 02:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Japanese-English edit
Hi, Jim! I hope it's not too late to meet you. I am deeply interested in your proposal, and I'm sorry if others gave you the cold shoulder.
I have been using your materials and reading about your EDICT work for as long as I've known about the World Wide Web. (You can tell it's been a while, because no one even calls it that any more. :-)
For over twenty years I've been struggling to learn Japanese, and it's hard because there's not enough of a community on the Westerners Learning Japanese side - as opposed to the Japanese Learning English (or studying ESL).
Creating and sustaining the bilingual community is absolutely the way to go, and MediaWiki software can help immensely with this. I offer my full cooperation. I am a long-standing Admin at the English Wikipedia, and I'm also a professional database programmer with knowledge of Java and some scripting languages. I took a year of Japanese at Harvard and got a "B" in it. I've written a Romaji to Hiragana converter in Javascript (which is GPL).
You are the foremost leader of the English-Japanese bilingual language-learning community, and I'm a fairly good computer programmer with excellent Wikimedia connections. I look forward to meeting you and figuring out how we can work together! Ed Poor 22:54, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
"網処" in JMdict edit
If I may, I would like bring Talk:網処 to your attention.
(It wasn't clear to me where to send feedback for JMdict, so instead I shall post here. My apologies if this is the wrong venue.) —suzukaze (t・c) 07:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
