[edit] About moving "Shichigosan" to "Shichi-Go-San"

"Shichigosan" is a nonstandard romanization of 七五三. A simple websearch will reveal that nearly all sites devoted to this topic use the term "Shichi-Go-San" to drawn distinction between the separate elements of the word and make it more readable. I saw no reason why Wikipedia should be different, so I repaired all the links I could (the current events page is read-only) and moved the site here. I'm sorry if I missed a link, but I think it's good to fix this problem before even more pages incorrectly reference "Shichigosan" - Exitmoose 06:31, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

I propose merging chitoseame into this article for the following reason:

• Chitoseame is a term which is narrated (and be eaten) only about shichi-go-san.
• History of chitoseame is half-overlapping with shichi-go-san.
• If a mention of shichi-go-san is removed from the chitoseame's article, only the description about a method of manufacture will remain. It will not become deep article. --Nightshadow28 15:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. --Nightshadow28 02:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
