From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 84.209.67.26). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. -- JHunterJ 01:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Shogi

Please stop changing the pronunciation of 龍馬 from ryūma to ryūme on the Shogi page. Both pronuncations (りゅうま、りゅうめ) are given as correct on the Japanese entry for 竜馬, -ma is listed first, and in any event if two options are valid, Wikipedia guidelines indicate that the first used should be used consistenly. -- JHunterJ 01:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Please do your research more properly.
Jim Breen's WWWJDIC features "ryuume" exclusively. The table in the Japanese article on Shogi featuring piece moves gives the reading "ryuume" first. I also seem to recall an explanation in the long-running English-language magazine SHOGI that "ryuuma" was a popular but nonetheless technically incorrect reading. Unfortunately scrutinizing 1400 A4 pages for the precise quotation is a fairly demanding task so I cannot give a definitive reference at this point.
I can however direct you to a previous Wikipedia discussion, which ventures into this little controversy:
