move page to Yoshinogari Ancient Ruins edit

Should we move this page to Yoshinogari Ancient Ruins? Is Yoshinogari solely means the ancient ruins in archaeology? --Jjok 21:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, you make an excellent point, Jjok. I guess that Yoshinogari is originally the name of a village or small administrative district. However, "Ancient Ruins" sounds unnatural to me. If we translate iseki, I guess it means archaeological site. How about moving to this: "Yoshinogari (archaeological site)". An alternative might be "Yoshinogari (national historic park)", but I am not sure about that one. What do you think? Mumun 00:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yoshinogari site looks academic and common term though I am not familiar to Wikipedia:Naming conventions. I took Yoshinogari Ancient Ruins from wikimedia commons and it seems originated from the official site.[5] Google search results of Yoshinogari ruins also seems mostly Japanese sites including junior high history book.[6]--Jjok 04:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi Again! We want to instill confidence in Wikipedia users that we know of what what we write. Therefore, leaning more toward professional terminilogy "Yoshinogari site" sounds good to me. I think 'Ancient Ruins' is a poor and unsuitable term -- I daresay sounds like non-native speaker English in poorly-edited tourism guidebooks (no insult intended). How about "Yoshinogari site" ?

Yoshinogari was also fixed. Thank you for your edit.--Jjok 02:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Based on the official park website, as well as the japanese wiki article, I changed 1989 to 1986. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.232.127.21 (talk) 05:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC).Reply
