You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''WikiProject Japan Owarai task force''' aims to improve the quality and consistency of [[Wikipedia]] articles dealing with topics related to [[Japan]]ese style [[comedy]], or ''[[owarai]]''. The task force also aims to increase awareness of Japanese (indeed, [[international]]) comedy by creating informative and interesting articles outlining the unique and original aspects of comedy in Japan of which the average [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]] may not be aware.

==WikiProject to-dos==
Article creation priority order:
#General owarai topics (functioning as mini-portals) ('''reasonably complete''')
#Major past and present ''kombi'' and ''pin-geinin'' ('''current focus''')
#Popular variety shows, quiz shows, etc.
#Articles for individual ''geinin'' in ''kombi'' and groups
#General beefing of articles and background information on more specific topics such as stages, the selection process, trends and lifestyles, etc.

Other tasks:
*Clarification of rules involving copywrited images in ''owarai'' pages
*Clarification of style rules
<br clear="all"/>

==Tasks==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Owarai/Tasks&action=watch Click here to watch tasks]. [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Owarai/Tasks|Click here to discuss tasks]].
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Owarai/Tasks}}

==Style guidelines==
Please read these guidelines, and discuss any changes or objections on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Owarai|talk]] page.
===Universal rules===
*Sign all comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.
*Insert a useful description into the [[edit summary]] wherever possible.
*Update the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Owarai/Tasks|tasks]] list when upgrading/downgrading an article's status.

===What an ''owarai'' article SHOULD BE===
*'''Accessible'''. All articles on Wikipedia are aimed at readers from all sorts of backgrounds, and it is especially important with a little-known subject such as ''owarai'' to present articles in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. As much as possible, articles about ''geinin'' should be no different than other articles of a [[biographical]] nature, and articles about ''kombi'' and groups should be generally biographical as well. Content such as a person's ''owarai'' history, notable achievements, background, and current media activities are all considered biographical information.
*'''Verifiable'''. Tangible content that is universally considered to be true, is [[dispute|undisputed]], and has been noted in reliable, respected media is welcome content in all ''owarai'' articles.
*'''Notable'''. Content about significant events (from a general readers perspective), and important, interesting information is good content. Because ''owarai'' is generally unknown to most readers of Wikipedia, ''much'' of the information that an ''owarai'' fan would consider notable is in fact, non-notable to most readers, and thus the inclusion of such content should be considered carefully.
*'''Interesting'''. ''Owarai'' is an interesting topic for many readers interested in Japanese subjects. ''Owarai'' articles should reflect the differences and features of ''owarai'' that would appeal to an interested reader.

===What an ''owarai'' article IS NOT===
*'''News or fancruft'''. The articles are not places to overload with exact details of the everyday lives of ''geinin''. Overloading articles makes them '''boring''', and difficult to approach for mildly interested readers. Recent news, minor events, small humorous television happenings and the like should ''not'' be included in the articles as they are of little importance to the quality of the article (indeed, they degrade it), they are usually of interest for a very short length of time, and simply because they are generally un-encyclopedic.
*'''Lists'''. Articles are not the place to make endless lists of comedians and groups, quotes and gags, small achievements and historical points, or information of any kind that merely serves to increase the length of articles that would do much better with the addition of notable information. Articles with short example lists (for example, the ''geinin'' list in [[owarai#Owarai geinin]]) should not be regularly maintained and should be kept as small as possible. A comprehensive list such as the [[List of Japanese comedians]] ''should'' be regularly maintained and expanded, as there shouldn't be much bias as to what is included (within reason).
*'''POV'''. Articles should ''not'' express an author's beliefs and speculation, even if they equal those of ''many people''. Beliefs, judgement, and assessment are only to be included when they are ''generally accepted'' or are considered verifiable, and are not disputed.
*'''Disputable'''. Minor disputable or semantic points should be ''avoided'', for the simple fact that doing so eliminates edit wars and helps to ensure a NPOV article.
*'''A direct translation'''. Much of the information for ''owarai'' articles is taken from Japanese sources (especially the Japanese Wikipedia) but it must be stressed that the JA and EN Wikipedias promote completely different article writing styles and JA Wikipedia articles should ''not'' be used as examples of style. The JA Wikipedia tends to focus much more on numeric facts and lists than EN, which likes to spread facts out in a more essay-ish, book style. Articles should be divided into logical, sequential sections (where applicable), and all sections should be linked grammatically so that the titles are a mere convenient redundancy for those readers who are scanning for information. <p>An example ''geinin'' article in JA had the following sections: (short) ''Intro'', ''History'', ''Episodes'', ''Appearances'', ''Productions'', ''External links''. In EN, the ''Intro'' should be the most important and carefully worded section, and it should expand in size proportionally with the length of the rest of the article. ''Episodes'' is not to be included because EN discourages the inclusion of minor events that wouldn't appear in person's ''History''. Lists of ''Productions'' can be included when they are notable, but all too frequently this list is longer than the rest of the article, and thus seems to serve only to '''boast''' about the person, rather than '''informing''' the interested reader. Lists such as these should be included sparingly, and in as non-timely a manner as possible. For ''kombi'' or groups, the ''Members'' section should not be included unless it is of an exceptionally large, or constantly changing subscription. All info about the members can normally be included in the ''Intro'', and more specific information about individuals should be included in the individual's page. <p>You should use other [[biography|biographical]] articles&mdash;many of which have been nominated for FA&mdash;as examples when creating articles of a biographical nature.
*'''Incomplete'''. Partial, un-edited, copy-pasted, un-thought-out, and un-wikified articles should not be uploaded to the article [[namespace]] and should instead be edited in ones [[sandbox]] before creation. An article can be listed under [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Owarai/Tasks|tasks]] while it is still in the sandbox, and it will be created in the namespace after it has been cleaned up, copyedited, and/or revised. By doing this, there will be a steady and controlled flow of new article information, and the article namespace won't be polluted with half-written, or poorly worded articles.

==Templates==
'''{{tl|WikiProject Japan}}''', to be added to the talk pages of articles involved in the project, like this: '''<nowiki>{{WikiProject Japan|owarai=yes}}</nowiki>''', which produces the following:

{{WikiProject Japan|owarai=yes|category=no}}

'''<nowiki>{{Owarai-stub}}</nowiki>''', for ''owarai'' articles meeting the stub criteria.
<table align="center"><tr><td>
</td></tr></table>

'''<nowiki>{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Owarai/User Owarai}}</nowiki>''', proposed project member box.
<table align="center"><tr><td>
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Owarai/User Owarai}}
</td></tr></table>
