ポプテピピック (Pop Team Epic) article at the Japanese Wikipedia[edit]

Can anyone fluent in Japanese translate ja:ポプテピピック article at the Japanese Wikipedia at a draft page? Let's see if I can turn it in the style of the English Wikipedia to expand Pop Team Epic article. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 08:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Like very many Japanese articles, it's largely a series of lists, and it's largely unsourced. True, there are a fair number of what look at first glance like references, but a large percentage of these are parenthetical comments formatted as footnotes rather than put between "(     )" -- they're not actually references. So much of it is unsourced, and translation and reuse within en:Wikipedia would be inappropriate. -- Hoary (talk) 01:37, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Hoary: Okay. Can you translate sourced parts first? JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 08:57, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but this really isn't my area at all. -- Hoary (talk) 12:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Guess I'll just put a translation request tag there. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 13:00, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
