Translation of English Wikipedia to Japanese Wikipedia

[edit]

Hi, the article at Japanese Wikipedia is of a very poor quality with many editorial problems for years. It has very good pageviews and sometimes extraordinary pageviews statistics. It needs a new revision comparable to the quality and content here at English Wikipedia. Hence it is needed someone or group of editors willing to cooperate to do WP:TRANSLATEUS of the article on English Wikipedia in the form which can be found at User:Miki Filigranski/sandbox (done with mechanic translation using Google Translate, is not of good enough quality for Japanese Wikipedia standard; for translation editing you can use the same sandbox; when saving the edit on Japanese Wikipedia in the edit summary must be provided URL link to English Wikipedia article due to copyrights as said at WP:TRANSLATEUS). @Mr. Stradivarius, Curly Turkey, Bueller 007, Nihonjoe, Athomeinkobe, EvergreenFir, CaptainSakura, ColorPmoegi822, Decafespresso, Deer hunter, Ff355e, FMmice, Lily-hundred, Masatami, Midori No Sora, Mulief, Reiisi, Satohina, Syunsyunminmin, TwinTails, VampyIceMan, YTRK, おてんきや, タバコはマーダー, 本多チロル, and USSR-Slav: thank you in advance.

Appearance

[edit]

@Goldgreymon: please stop removing the same sentence about Gackt's "macho" appearance in late career. That information is not inaccurate (easily evident from his public and other appearances in which his style is different than in his early career), nor is poorly sourced (as is authored by PhD professor Adrienne Renee Johnson and published by Palgrave Macmillan). It is about his overall appearance, while playing a role in a movie doesn't mean anything else about it. The information you're adding, on the contrary, is poorly sourced and WP:SYNTH or WP:OR because is based on an open-access article by, although PhD cndidate Miranda Ruth Larsen, which does not explicitly say his appearance was influenced by boys love and shojo manga, only that there's large market for that and appeals to women audience/fan fiction, and the article's cited sources which aren't cited in the Wikipedia article barely mention, or do not even mention Gackt at all. It is SYNTH because you're backing such (miss)information with Gackt's second autobiography (without quote and page), claiming that he admitted liking such manga, and that the influence on the creation of Rei Asami/role was certain Bancoran - overall, has almost nothing to do with the topic in question and provided information and explanation is very confusing, failing WP:VERIFY.
