Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries. If you are adding a ja.wikipedia transwiki, then use an edit summary of at least "+ja", and your edits will be understood to be constructive. Without any edit summary, it looks like potential vandalism. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 08:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Next time I'll definitely do so... I'm just a lazybone and never attempt to vandalize. Thanks for the notice.--Alma mater (En) 09:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Right; I'm sure you don't vandalize, and interwiki linking is very productive; the point was that edit summaries help us know that you aren't vandalizing. :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 23:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Japanese Music Charts

Hi, I'm just writing to you to request your help and assistance in referencing the Japanese Music Charts. Through out alot of popular english songs I have viewed I have noticed that they have been noted as performing well in Japan and have also read that the Japanese music market it very big. But in saying this every song I have seen has not got a Japanese chart position in the charts box. So if you are into music and willing to try and provide information on the Japanese Music Charts it would be greatly appreciated so then wikipedia users can start adding the Japanese chart positions into the chart boxes for popular songs.

Language help

Hi.

There is some debate here as to whether these two girls are birth twins or just two girls who look alike. One user states

双生児 is the Japanese for birth-twins, while Airi and Meiri are ふたご which means twin (look-a-like) which is how they were advertised.

but gives no evidence for this.

I have consulted my dictionary which says:

双子 [ふたご] twins, a twin.

双子座 [ふたござ] Gemini
二子 [ふたご] twins, a twin
二心 [ふたごころ] duplicity, treachery, double-dealing

and
一卵性双生児 [いちらんせいそうせいじ] identical twins
結合双生児 [けつごうそうせいじ] conjoined twins
双生児 [そうせいじ] twins.
二卵性双生児 [にらんせいそうせいじ] fraternal twins

so it is still not clear! Please could you let me know what the translations of 双生児 and ふたご are?
