message: I think the redirect to Asaba is correct. After exhausting Google (only 5 pages of results) with no luck as to where Asabane could be, I had several hints it may be the same place as "Asaba" - those on irc://irc.freenode.net/ja.wikipedia confirmed there is a possibility the places could be same (in terms of the Japanese language). This company gives their address as "Sakado City, Asabane, Tanaka Haites Saitama Saitame_ken Japan" - does this make Asabane a larger or smaller entity than Sakado City? Also, this company (Google translated page) cites their address as "The Saitama prefecture Sakado city Asaba 1612" - Asaba being the closest word to "Asabane", this was a result of a search for "Asabane". Another Google translated page gives the following: "Asabane Clinic | 350-0238 | Sakado city Asaba | 991 - 1 0492-84-1114 " --Oldak Quill 13:44, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: yes the redirect is correct, it comes from different readings of the kanji 浅羽. There is more than one Asaba in Japan. — Zeimusu | Talk 01:06, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: ** I think it's extremely likely that this should be Arpad Balazs, based on a bit of googling.  --Johnwcowan 18:51, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: *This article should be taken off the list because it is a bad title. What did the person who requested this mean by the system of foreign politics in the U.S.? The U.S. Foreign Policy? If so there is an article on that...--EatAlbertaBeef 04:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite possibly they originally meant that. ~ Dpr 05:20, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it from the page (is there anywhere else it should be removed from?). It is clearly a bad title. If someone really is desperate for that article I'm sure they will request it again. Bobbis 21:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: (Rhetorical): why are there so few articles African authors created yet but so many on American authors/artists/bands, etc? ~ Dpr 05:20, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Presumably because there are so few African contributors to Wikipedia; people write about what they know. Proto 14:52, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: So I've made a decent stub for a requested article.  Now what do I do?  Delete it from the page? Cigarette 23:25, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

message: The first line of the article says these are articles that have been requested since August 9, 2004, but that would make them less than a year old, not more.  Shouldn't it be revised to say, articles that were requested before that date - but since August 9, 2003, and then have a link to the page of those requests more than two years old?  Maybe I am just confused.  Bruxism 00:36, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
