Her voice[edit]

Rica is a very skillful and excellent good artist: her voice is powerful, widely, very deep and charming too.

I'm not sure what "widely" means in this sentence. Perhaps it means that her voice has a wide range (can be deep or high)? Or it could mean something else. There is something wrong with how it is used in this sentence, though. Fluffybun 22:15, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What it means is some fanboi in China ran his over-enthusiastic slobberfest through a machine translation device and it spewed out this stilted nonsense.

This article needs an enema. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 17:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pokémon Trainer[edit]

The new Japanese commercial spot for Super Smash Bros. Brawl featured the Pokémon trainer character, who employs Zenigame (Squirtle), Fushigisou (Ivysaur), and Rizaadon (Charizard). To me, it sounded an awful lot like Satoshi's voice in the Pokémon anime. Just an interesting thought. Maybe if the Super Smash Bros. Brawl credits mention her doing the role, then it should be added into this article. 24.127.145.27 (talk) 15:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Failed verification[edit]

Repeatedly the year of 1968 has been given as the year of Rica Matsumoto's birth when the source indicates that she was born in 1965. – Allen4names 02:15, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the year of birth per the reference cited. If anyone still thinks that this is wrong please provide a reliable source(s) to prove it. – Allen4names 17:48, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rika Matsumoto → Rica Matsumoto – Per WP:COMMONNAME. "Rica" is a non-standard transliteration, but it's clearly her preferred spelling, and this is reflected in sources. Her official website and Twitter use "Rica". Most news sites use "Rica": Yahoo! News, Game Informer, Gizmodo, Anime News Network, Crunchyroll News. It's also worth looking at her profile on Discogs, because it includes scans of album packaging — which consistently use "Rica" (as far back as 1995). — Kawnhr (talk) 22:25, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom; this is clearly both the subject's preferred name and common name. It is also worth noting that "Rica Matsumoto" was this page's title until September 13, 2019, when Debiit moved it to this title without discussion. Link20XX (talk) 04:10, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
