[edit] Romaji transliterations

Can these get transliterated? I think that would increase the reader scope of the article significantly. --Dpr 03:49, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Overhaul

Hey all. I just came across this yesterday, and it is in need of a major overhaul, which I am now going to begin. Since it's such a major change, I thought I might outline my intentions here, and start a mini-discussion as to what sort of stuff should be here, what sort of structure it should take, etc.

The main categories of things I think belong on this list are:

  • Historical titles and terminology, like koku, han, Shogun, and daimyo
  • Major battles and wars
  • NOT People, as that doesn't quite constitute a Glossary to my mind.
  • NOT periods of history, as there's plenty of lists and sidebars for that
  • Only a very limited number of places - the capitals, perhaps just those.

Finally, while the concept of what does and does not count as "historical" is definitely up for grabs and somewhat controversial, I am going to attempt to avoid most 20th century stuff. Modern Japan is just not my specialty, and I am afraid that once we allow WWII and beyond to be included, those subjects will overwhelm the list... In any case, do what you will.

As with any article, please feel free to contribute, to question my changes, to even undo them if you really feel I've described something wrong or that it doesn't belong in the list... LordAmeth 02:23, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Here's a suggestion: For huge groups like the biggest clans, one entry for e.g. Tokugawa with a link to a page having a list; similarly one entry for Ashikaga etc. So they won't be absent from the glossary, nor will they take up excessive space.
Excellent idea. LordAmeth 02:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
