Hey, I know an absolute TON about this fair, but I'm unsure as to how the format should go... anyone have any ideas?--Gregoe86 06:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'm diving in. I have one chunk done, but I'm off to bed for now. Can someone more knowledgable than I please mark that this is a page under construction? I'll add a big chunk more tomorrow. I'd just hate to see my work get deleted, because I have lots more to share.--Gregoe86 06:37, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Just kidding! Found the inuse template. Applying is a go! I'm excited to see this page come into form!--Gregoe86 06:41, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Typo

"lanters" might actually =planters? Katr67 02:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

You might be right. I chose lanterns based on memories of Japanese antique collections of the period. They prominently featuring lanterns, silk and porcelain. I don't recall seeing planters perhaps for containing Bonsai varieties, but that could have fallen out the brain bit bucket. —EncMstr 04:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I think you are right that lanterns make more sense. Whatever Japanese vessels may have been included, they wouldn't be called "planters". Too bad there's no cite for that tidbit... Katr67 05:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC) Nevermind, found one--they were bronze lanterns in fact. [1] Katr67 05:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confused on refs

Tried to fix a problem with references, specifically those named "Carl" and "Abbott", but I'm not sure I understand what's going on. Help? -Pete (talk) 17:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I think I fixed the Abbott one, if it was the right Abbott citation and not the other one. Katr67 (talk) 00:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
