[edit] [originators comments]

How about we start an article on this subject, of interest to many people who study the period.

This first bit is my contribution, and I hope others will add to and alter it, in accordance with the open source concept of Wikipedia.

If it gets deleted altogether, I cannot see what the point would be.

This is a legitimate encyclopedia entry topic, and there are many people who could add to it.Kozushi 05:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

For gosh sakes, I HAVE cited my sources! I have QUOTED from two of them and indicated exactly which parts! I have done my bit in starting the page, and I hope others will contribute to it as well with their particular areas of expertise. I will add to it when I have time. With my busy job I can't just sit around writing encyclopedias all the time, but I can certainly collaborate with other wikipedians in creating great entries.

I mean everything in good faith and for the betterment of the encyclopedia. I also know that this is a collaborative project, and I expect collaboration, not immediate and impatient perfectionism.Kozushi 20:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
