This section is for all those who have requested this translation, are translating or proofreading this article, or just want to give some advice about the translation in progress. Do not forget to watch this page].

In particular, you can use {{Doubt | original sentence }} or {{Doubt | original sentence | possible translation}} to highlight the problems you encounter during the translation process.

Material to include

For the Discography, it is only necessary to carry over Albums and Singles; the Soundtracks are for Japan-only films. Be advised that most translator 'bots destroy the legal-name pronunciations needed in this Translation. I managed to isolate some pages on ja.Wikipedia.org to which the original Article (麗美) links:

Clarion girl (クラリオンガール).
Correct Matsutoya Takashi (松任谷正隆). (Actual name should be Masataka Matsutoya. - BCS)
Correct Matsutoya reason actual (松任谷由実). (Actual name should be Yumi Matsutoya. - BCS)
Shunji Iwai (岩井俊二).
(日本語) Composer (作曲家).
Mayumi Horikawa (堀川まゆみ).

It is possible that not all the referenced links are needed. - B.C.Schmerker 02:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Inexperienced editor?

I noticed that User:Sabazou placed the first part of the translation on the Talk page, Talk:Reimy, rather than the Article page. I managed to get a preliminary translation of part of the Discography done, plus some basic statistics; bit I'll need a proofread. - B.C.Schmerker 16:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Quality of source text

Be advised that the original article on ja.Wikipedia.org may have syntactic errors, prim. relating to the use of particles. - B.C.Schmerker 16:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Reference to Clarion Girl, M/M Mastutoya

Taking into consideration the issues of particles previously described, I estimate that the actions concerning an event on January 1 1984 would come out as follows:

元クラリオンガールの姉が持っていた麗美の写真が偶然関係者の目にとまり、1984年1月1日、松任谷正隆・由実夫妻の全面的バックアップでデビュー。1993年頃からREMEDIOSとしてドラマ・映画のサウンドトラック、CM音楽などを手がけるようになる。 ⇔ A photograph of Reimy in the possession of the elder Horikawa (viz., the former Clarion Girl) caught the eye(s) of certain persons on January 1 1984, initiating M/M Masataka Matsutoya's full-scale backup debut; consequent management of film-soundtrack and CM music under the Remedios name commenced around 1993....

To any "ja6" reading this page, feel free to correct any error traceable to my lack of experience. - B.C.Schmerker 05:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
