Talk:Ryōji Arai

Translation
This article does not contain "a translation". In the lead I inserted the heading Life (now section 1) and expanded the one-liner by resort to ja.wiki and Google Translate. The new information is his early education at "Nihon University Yamagata Junior & Senior High School" and his first book published, the "picture book 年に処女作 (Melody) in 1990".

Plagiarism
This page was created 2007-05-05 evidently by copy and paste, without attribution, from the 2005 ALMA citation [ref name=alma2005]. The only change was from "1956 . [end of heading; new line] Arai s tudied art ..." to "1956 and resident in Tokyo. S tudied art". The creator's user name Alma2468 suggests affiliation with the award ALMA but s/he did not mention that award.

Seven years later, that original content remained intact as the second and third sentences of our otherwise new lead paragraph; our one-line second paragraph; our third paragraph (section 1, Awards) except for my August 2012 closing notice of the 2005 ALMA.

The one-liner remains in two pieces, with [ref name=alma2005]. Just now in two stages (combined diffs), I deleted the two longer parts, which originally followed that line. I put the 1990 "Grand Award for new illustrators" into the rump that remains under the heading Life.
