[edit] Hello
Hi! Thanks for your contributions regarding Japanese RPGs. It's too bad most of them will never be available in English, since many of them seem very interesting. Anyway, I've gone and corrected your English in most of your articles to the best of my ability, as you requested above. :)--Filby 13:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ikki
It's a minor detail, but I am curious as to the reasoning behind your change from "peasants" to "farmers" on the disambig page Ikki. Since this is taking place in the Edo period, in a feudal society with a strict class system, and particularly in light of the grand social changes brought by the Meiji Ishin and the accompanying attitudes towards society, I think it would be good if we paid attention to the language of such things. Hyakushō (百姓), translated most often as "peasants", is likely among the most respectful terms used to refer to the common people, the uneducated masses, in the Edo period and earlier; by contrast, Nōmin (農民), a term that likely did not appear at all until the Meiji period, is often translated to "farmer" and gives much more the connotation of an empowered and educated citizen, one of the People that make up the Nation. I imagine you were probably simply making a minor edit, of something you thought was simply a matter of being more PC or something like that, but for my part, I personally think that distinctions between (feudal) peasants and (free) farmers are important. Thank you. LordAmeth 18:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Please see Japanese Wikipedia article "一揆(Ikki)"。--近世の百姓一揆も peasant uprising と英訳されて紹介されているが、現実には peasant の意味する零細な小作人だけによるものではなく、むしろ村落の指導的な立場に立つ裕福な本百姓らによって指導されており、彼らはむしろ英語で農場経営者を指す語である farmer と訳すのがふさわしい事を考慮すると、これも歴史的事実に即した英訳とは言えない。(Hyakusou Ikki(百姓一揆) at the early modern age is translated into English "peasant uprisng", But this is not an English translation that suits historical facts. Ikki is actually being guided by not only petty tenant peasants but also by affluent farmers who stand in a leading standpoint of the village, and it is suitable for Hyakusou Ikki(百姓一揆) at the early modern age that they translate into "farmer" that is the word to which the farm manager is indicated in English.)
- Actually, the most famous Ikki leader "Sakura Sougorou"(佐倉 惣五郎) is a affluent farmer, not a peasant. Thank you.--Plumcherry 04:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

- Fair enough. Thank you for taking the time to consider my question. LordAmeth 10:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
