Talk:Hiromi Shinya

message: This is my first article, and it is about a subject on which there is currently limited information. I just want to make sure that I handled things well, and I am very open to all suggestions for improvement. I have a couple of primary concerns. A) My section headings: I used descriptive names for the section titles, but I wonder if they are too descriptive and will impede the future development of the article. If so, I assume I should change them before the page becomes any more established. B) Considering that most of his published work is in Japanese, I had a hard time researching the works he has authored. If there is anyone with knowledge of Japanese that could aid in this process, it would be much appreciated. Nik-renshaw 04:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I am also having concerns about conflict of interest.  Before my work on this article, I had no experience with Wikipedia, so I only came into contact with the guidelines upon which I stumbled in the writing.  Now, after publishing the article, I ran across the guideline on conflict of interest.  I am an intern at Council Oak Books, the publisher of Hiromi Shinya's English translation The Enzyme Factor.  While I am unpaid, I was assigned by them to create the page.  During the entire process, I tried my utmost to be fair, and only use established, published facts--in keeping with Wikipedia policy.  However, it is naturally difficult to maintain complete neutrality in this situation, and I feel that the dearth of information on Hiromi Shinya in the English language contributed to this difficulty.  So, I ask that this article be evaluated, and I be advised as to how I should precede and how I have done on maintaining neutrality.  I feel that I trust myself to act ethically and honestly, but I also open myself to the scrutiny of the community, for the benefit of all.  Thank you. Nik-renshaw 05:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This was recently added to the page: "and recommends drinking of Kangen Water (Alkaline water caused by means of electrolysis) on his DVD Lifestyle Diseases." I'm not sure where it should go in the article, and doing a Google search of "Lifestyle Diseases" didn't yield anything. Do you have more information on this DVD that could be cited? Perhaps we could expand the "Authorship" section to include this DVD? Thanks. Nik-renshaw (talk) 18:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate the redone edit: "On his DVD, titled "Lifestyle Diseases - Your Are What You Eat", Dr. Shinya advocates the drinking of Kangen Alkaline Water by name." Here are the problems: 1) The statement is unsourced. You need to reference something. Like, the DVD itself. Just give me the information about the DVD, and I can add a reference. 2) When I Google "Lifestyle Diseeases" "You are what you eat," nothing comes up. What is this DVD? Where is there information about it? 3) For the entire DVD and its contents, all you mention is Kangen alkaline water. It would seem that you have a vested interest in Kangen water. Please, rather than just re-adding this information, talk to me, so we can move forward. Nik-renshaw (talk) 02:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Markup help is needed here. 
* Some cross-references of the form Shinya Medical Clinic: About Dr. Shinya have no target. Was a section deleted?
* Citations of the form  go nowhere. They appear to be intended for entries in the "References and notes" section using the  template, but the specified anchor tags are missing there. 
* The combination of the latter with .. citations in subsequent sections result in two numbered lists in the "Notes and References" section, in two point sizes, each beginning with numeral 1.
I don't know the markup well enough to fix this, and the original author knows best what was intended. Bn (talk) 01:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
