Welcome

Hello, Hnishy63! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. New users are also welcome to post any questions or concerns to the arrivals lounge. If you want some practice editing, please do so on our graffiti wall. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here. If you want to contribute with information about the place where you live, see Wikivoyage:Welcome, locals. Pashley (talk) 16:13, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, this site is much freer and funnier than Wikipedia! Hnishy63 (talk) 23:35, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Questions

You say you are interested in military history. Do you know the Flashman novels?

You are Japanese & say you play chess. Could your contribute to our articles on Chess, Shogi or Go?

I've been told that at one time no-one could be made an officer in the Japanese military without reaching (amateur) shodan strength in Go. I've done some web searches but not been able to confirm that; do you know if it is true? Pashley (talk) 23:44, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

I actually edited the Shogi article a couple of times already. On Go, my main wiki is Sensei's Library, where you can find me under the name 'hnishy'. I had never heard of the shodan requirement, though Go was very popular at the time. It was a way to become acquainted with someone in higher positions.--Hnishy63 (talk) 00:55, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Any comment or edits here? Choibalsan#The_battle_of_Khalkhin_Gol Pashley (talk) 00:49, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

It's old Soviet propaganda. The battle was a much closer one, as I edited in Military tourism. Just a general advice: Don't trust Wikistory, especially on modern wars.--Hnishy63 (talk) 23:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Autopatroller

Hi. You've made a lot of really good edits in a short time. I don't think we need to closely examine your edits anymore, so I've made you an autopatroller. I feel sure you'll repay my confidence in you, and thanks for all you do! Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:20, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Wikivoyage is a great tool for armchair travel when it's too cold to go out.--Hnishy63 (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

True. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:00, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for cleaning up Okayama and updating outdated websites/info! ChubbyWimbus (talk) 10:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Welcome. I just enjoy my armchair travel and feed my findings back to Wikivoyage. Even star articles have many obsolete things.--Hnishy63 (talk) 22:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Chomage beer in Hagi

I see that you have removed the dead link flag for Chonmage beer a couple of times. I assume that this link works for you, but it doesn't work for me (in the UK), I get a 403 Forbidden error. I have marked this link for the bot to ignore, but please check again that the link is good, and revert my edit if it isn't. Thank you for all your good work on articles about Japan.

The link is alive for me. 403 Error typically happens when their server's setting is somehow wrong. Thanks for the template, InternetArchiveBot sometimes marks Japanese-only pages as dead.--Hnishy63 (talk) 22:18, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
