[edit] Redirect

This page needs a redirect from the romaji spelling "Taishou," in case users search for the period without using a macron spelling. All other eras that I've checked have similar redirects ("shouwa" to the macroned version, for example), but if you input "taishou period" to the search box at the moment, you don't get this page as a result. I don't know how to do this, so I'm asking someone else to make the redirect.

[edit] Plagurism

Honestly, could someone PLEASE look into the 'see diplomacy, this ch.' reference on this page? Since there's no diplomacy subheading, I'm very worried that parts of this article are plagurized. SJ Zero 05:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting

could we keep article text linear, please? Maybe make a heading "key events" for what is curently in a drop-box. -- Tarquin 18:41 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

I know the box seems little fancy but, I think a kind of quick box is nice idea. Besides, a key event is different from heading. For example, Great Kanto Earthquake cannot be a key event. Key events show the important date, while headings indicate more abstract points. -- Taku 18:46 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

Or how about for paragraph two:

Key events of this period include A in 1913, B in 1924 and C.

the box creates complex markup, which we really want to avoid. -- Tarquin

Is that so? I thought articles using tables seems more complex. What does any one else think? -- Taku 18:54 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

Tables bad too! There's been talk of eventually setting something up so the table data is in a separate namespace or somthing (see the mailing list archive!). If this were paper and we were working with Quark Xpress, I'd say "yay! cool! great!". But it's wikitext. simplicity is key -- Tarquin 18:56 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)

Reading this article, I'm worried that it might be plagurized. The references to chapters in particular is worrying. SJ Zero 01:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

It is plagiarized, but from a public domain document. It is from http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/jptoc.html Chapter 1, Between the Wars, 1920-36, Two-Party System —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.98.139.33 (talk) 03:13, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative to floated info blocks

Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump on Saturday, September 13th, 02003.

Someone's been putting floated DIVs in some history articles with a list of key events. Having a clear list of key points is good -- but the HTML bloat in the source required to produce the float is not worth it in my opinion (see my recent mailing list post on the matter). I've tried an alternative at Taisho period. What do people think? "In Detail" is a really yucky heading, so if anyone can think of better ... please do! -- Tarquin 15:35, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

That someone is me. Despite what I have been saying, now I complately concur with you. What particularly I like is that if a list of key events sits in a section, it is easy to edit that second with a new Wikipedia editing feature. -- Taku 17:09, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
