[edit] Polishing

I included a bit more historiography. I think the same needs to be done on the Satsuma Rebellion and Saigo page. As of now they all contain orthrodox arguments, stated as facts, and not opinions.

I know little about wiki, however, it'd be great of someone can help clean it up. -RoSeeker 12:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

"...although revisionist historians argue that Saigo's statement was an attempt to win over the support of Itagaki[2], and that Saigo's condemnation of Meiji's provocation against Korea in 1876 suggests that Saigo had always been to "establish a firm relationship"[3]. In any case..."

I don't know anything about the subject, but I feel that the above segment is subjective and seems to contain personal opinion (whether right or wrong - I make no argument there). The use of the term "revisionist historians" carries a negative connotation that implies that the writer feels that these historians are wrong. Just a thought.
