[edit] How better to present these dates?

In the Kugyō section:

..................................................... lifetime, 804-872
... time in office (858-864)
........... Sesshō (858-864), Fujiwara no Yoshifusa　(藤原良房),　804-872
  • Sesshō (858-864), Fujiwara no Yoshifusa　(藤原良房),　858-864
  • Daijō-daijin, Fujiwara no Yoshifusa　(藤原良房), 857-872
  • Sadaijin, Minamoto no Makoto　(源信),　857-868
  • Sadaijin, Minamoto no Tooru　(源融), 872-895
  • Udaijin, Fujiwara no Yoshisuke　(藤原良相),　857-867
  • Udaijin, Fujiwara no Ujimune　(藤原氏宗), 870-872
  • Udaijin, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経),　872-880

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 17:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
