[edit] Death date

The article was recently added to indicate March 24 as Moronao's death date. Is this the 24th of the 3rd month on the Japanese calendar, or is it accurate as "March 24", following conversion to the Western calendar? LordAmeth (talk) 07:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

ja:高師泰 has this:

そして同年[1591](1351) 2月26日、直義の手で京都へ護送される途中、直義派の上杉能憲により、同国武庫川で師直や息子の高師世ら一族と共に殺された。

So, March 24 is Westernized date, since, as I understand, we generally use dates according to traditional Japanese calendar when writing narrative. Do you know if we usually put Western death date or Japanese one in the first sentence or which convention we should use? -- Taku (talk) 22:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm personally a fan of using the Japanese date, if we know it, as it's more relevant. But there's certainly no set standard, and if one were to use the Japanese date, one would likely need a footnote or the like explaining that that's what it is, and perhaps including which Western date it corresponds to. ... I see the point in the Japanese article where it discusses his death. Thanks. LordAmeth (talk) 11:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
