Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Japan-related translation requests
- A new format for requesting translations is in the process of being implemented. For details, see Wikipedia:Translation
This page lists translation requests of Japan-related articles from the Japanese Wikipedia into English where the article already exists but could be expanded using the information found on the Japanese Wikipedia.
- If the article is not Japan-related, please place it on the Non-Japan-related translation requests page.
- If the article does not yet exist on the English Wikipedia, and is Japan-related, please place your request on Wikipedia:Requested articles/Japan in the appropriate section.
- Requests for translations from English to Japanese may be placed on the requests page on the Japanese Wikipedia (in Japanese) However, you must be a registered user and have edited the Japanese Wikipedia at least 50 times. Requests can also be made on Chatsubo (in English), apparently without this restriction.

戯作 → Gesaku
- Article

- Corresponding English-language article
- Gesaku
- Worth doing because
- refers to an entire branch of Japanese literature; some of the article I am editing now (Buraiha) makes little sense without 戯作, because the Buraiha were also known as 新戯作派.

- Japanese version seems plagiarized, much of it coming from here, word-for-word: [1], which is not mentioned in their reference list. I've translated all but the last, highly-plagiarized paragraph. This one also makes a lot of reference to "gesaku"-related terms, so i recommend that someone translate the gesaku page first, so that the vocab and names used on both pages will not be in discord. Bueller 007 09:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- "The Decadents (or Buraiha writers) had an impact during the immediate postwar years precisely because of their opposition to the inflated and hypocritical.." ( Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, 1996 )-- I'll see if I can pull some information to enhance the article from an Asian Literature Journal or something. --Kunzite 03:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
