Atsumori
Thank you for your expansion of my short article on the play Atsumori; I had not realized there was an infobox for Noh, and it's a fine addition. I suppose it depends on one's interpretation or translation, but the version of the play I read did not mention a "Reaper", but rather a "Youth", who burns firewood to collect salt out of seawater. There are references to a "mower", but a Reaper? Seems the wrong connotation to me, even if the denotation (reaper more or less equals mower) is correct. Thoughts?

- The word "reaper" comes from the (outdated) Waley translation, which is quite emphatic that the people Kumagai meets are reapers: "They that were reaping,/Reaping on that hill,/Walk now through the fields/Homeward, for it is dusk." I've just checked and they're literally "grass-cutters" (草刈) so probably "mowers" would be better.
- Yes, now there's an infobox template for Noh plays — I just made it. (So any questions or suggestions for alterations can be directed here.) My hope is to put up at least a dozen articles on the most famous plays. Xanthoxyl 09:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was using Royall Tyler's translation; these things can be kind of iffy. Thank you for your hard work - I continue to aim to gradually, slowly expand Wikipedia's coverage of kabuki and joruri; coverage of the traditional Asian arts is sorely lacking, and I'm glad to have yet another ally in working to resolve that.

- Wikipedia's coverage of literature and of the arts in general is surprisingly poor. I'll see if I can improve Noh (the French version was a featured article!); also look in the margins for links to any Japanese versions. 12:23, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your translation work
Thank you very much for finishing the translation of Hannes Lintl and cleaning it up. I'm removing this entry from WP:PNT now. Cheers! - Introvert • ~ 04:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

thank you for you translation work
thank very much for doing the translation of the french article Vincent-Marie Viénot de Vaublanc that i have edited in french Aymeric78 20:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Ack, I didn't mean to go sticking extra tags on there if you were working on it, sorry about that... I found the tag a few hours ago, and then the internet went down before I could actually save the edit adding it. I've translated about half of it at this point, though it needs massive cleanup and reorganizing still. I was planning to do that once I'd finished the translating, but I can edit in what I've done so far, if you want to work on that part, or translate the rest -- I'm starting to get in over my head with all the scientific terms. Let me know, and sorry again if I inadvertently took over what you were working on! -Bbik 03:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, better idea. Your translating sounds better than mine anyhow, and it looks like we've both done about as much, though I did a bit more jumping around. I've put what I've done at this point here, copy or replace or ignore as you wish. -Bbik 04:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've learned my lesson! Don't worry about it, though -- if nothing else, it's shown me just how much my German has deteriorated, which is more frustrating than anything else. And besides, if my doing it as well reminded you about the infobox, that works out well enough. -Bbik 18:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Noh - Ikuta Atsumori
Hiya. I've just created an article for Ikuta Atsumori, another play based on the story of Atsumori. The translation I read does not explain which character is waki, tsure, or shite, so I sort of guessed. My logic being that Atsumori is shite because he's the title character, and the whole thing derives from his legend; his son might be waki, because he's the primary character other than Atsumori, and is not really his companion, so he couldn't be tsure, I don't think. The monk, though he introduces the play, and might therefore normally be the waki, more or less just accompanies the boy, and so I labeled him wakitsure. I'd appreciate it if you could take a second look at this. Thank you. LordAmeth 13:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Children are termed kokata, so the monk will be waki. The play is now attributed to Komparu Zenpō, and the Kita school does not perform it. Xanthoxyl 14:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
