[edit] Move to Man'yōshū

I would like to move this page to Man'yōshū. Are there any objections? Bendono 04:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me Nik42 05:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

It's been a few days and there has not been any objections. Page moved. Bendono 06:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Manyōshū (no apostrophe)

wp:mos-ja: "Article titles should omit apostrophes after syllabic n."

According to the mos, the article is nder the wrong name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhialto (talk • contribs)

That needs to be updated. See this discussion for details. Bendono 11:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Footnotes" or "Notes"?

Conventionally, I've observed a pattern in which "Notes" appear before "References." Here the order is "References" and then "Footnotes."

I started to change it, but then thought twice. It doesn't really matter ... or does it?

I've been making notes accessible using this format/pattern:

==Notes==

• {{reflist

}}

The notes here are captured using this format/pattern:

==Footnotes==

• {{cite web

| title = Online edition of the Man'yōshū

| url = http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/manyoshu/index.html

| publisher = University of Virginia Library :Japanese Text Initiative

| accessdate = 2006-07-10

}}

At my current level of Wikipedia expertise, I'm entirely happy to leave these kinds of issues up to someone else. But maybe that's exactly the wrong approach. I wonder ...? Ooperhoofd 17:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to switch the order of References and Footnotes. It makes more sense to have Footnotes first. In general, be bold and make edits as you feel appropriate. If others disagree, they can discuss it at that time. Bendono 01:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Most highly revered?

Are there any cites to suggest that Manyoshu has ever been revered above the Kokin Wakashu?

Well, uh, what do you think was revered above the Manyoshu before the Kokin Wakashu was compiled? --Gwern (contribs) 02:05 2 August 2007 (GMT)

Touche; I just think the current introduction might lead people to believe that the Manyoshu has always been revered most highly even down to the present day; AFAIK the Kokinshu overtook Manyoshu's place once it was compiled and has never lost its status since then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.180.45.200 (talk) 15:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
