[edit] Comments

So when was he born really? As it is, the entry is inconsistent even within itself; http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?tocId=9072743 and many other online sources give 27 Jan 1848, but both previous years are well-represented as well. --Malyctenar 11:07, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I have corrected his dates of birth and death based on ja: zh: and other sources. 22 December 1847 is indeed based on Japanese lunar calendar, but it is not December, but rather the 22th day of the 12th lunar month of Koka 4. Similarly, we cannot correctly call the Chinese New Year as January 1, but the 1st day of the 1st Chinese lunar month is more accurate.--Jusjih 07:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Can whoever wrote the part about his studies in Europe add citations for the quoted parts? Also please keep the quotation marks consistently British style (single quotes, and double quotes inside single quotes). --Kenji Yamada 04:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heihachiro a Shinto kami?

On the Tōgō Shrine page, it is indicated that Heihachiro is celebrated as a kami there. Do the rest of you think that it would make sense to include this article in the Category:Shinto kami on that basis or not? John Carter 14:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
