Thanks for your interests. I'm not sure whether his work has crossed path with Japanese Wikipedia (that's because I have not comprehensively checked his work. It does not mean he did nothing for it.) I'll add lines here if I found further details. According to his self-bio: http://www.arg.ne.jp/node/7000 (written in Japanese, sorry) He worked for a publishing company serving as an editor for a year, after graduated from International Christian University. After leaving the publisher, he worked as self-employed and later joined Yahoo! Japan. He worked for Y! search, Categories, Staff Blog, Y! Chiebukuro (Q&A UGM), Search Ranking, Y! Encyclopedia (free search of a proprietary encyclopedia) and so on. Beside his professional work, he started Academic Resource Guide (ARG, http://www.arg.ne.jp/) since 1999 as a voluntary work. In 2009, he left Y! Japan and made ARG a private firm. --Takashi _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
