another crap article edit
seems that the person who wrote this, has no experience of native level English, or no experience of actually using wasei-eigo. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:40, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Revision January 2018 edit
I've attempted to do a general tidy-up of the article, in the course of which I eliminated one or two entries for which I could find no evidence of notability in the Japanese Wikipedia. The list as it stands at present does have a rather heavy bias towards terms used in the sex industry, but then that's probably in the nature of the beast. Nevertheless, additions from other areas of activity would be welcome, given the very widespread use of wasei-eigo in modern Japanese. -- Picapica (talk) 00:33, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
Factual error? edit
I don't know enough about Wikipedia in general or this topic in particular to confidently edit the main article, but I'm pretty sure Dutch Wife (datchi-waifu) isn't an instance of wasei-eigo. I don't think it was created by Japanese speakers; it's just another instance of English speakers attaching "Dutch" as a pejorative, as in Dutch Oven or Dutch Treat. Datchi-waifu is a far more common term in Japanese than Dutch Wife is in English, but I don't see any evidence that it originated from Japan, other than some folk etymologies with no basis.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:1730:1420:216F:2DDB:67C1:C94C (talk) 16:19, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
