Japan To-do:

[edit] How better to present these dates?

In the Kugyō section:

 ................................................... lifetime, 880-949
 .... time in office (946-949)
 ........... Kampaku (946-949), Fujiwara no Tadahira (藤原忠平), 880-949

In the intial edit, I intended to present the dates during which someone held a specific court title, but that now seems too ambitious for a start-level article. The intention had been to explain the sequence of serial officeholders with these dates.

Instead, it's probably better to simply list the birth/death dates. Arguably, it might be possible (or even preferable) to include both sets of dates as the information becomes available ...? --Ooperhoofd 14:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I won't be commenting on this specific case, but generally-speaking this kind of matter should be done in a very systematic manner, I think, because, I am assuming, that lists similar to this one may/should be added to other articles of emperors too. So, why don't you post something like to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Japan or other places. -- Taku 02:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
