Hakuho era

Hello Faulty, first of all thank you for your interest in sumo articles, we are always looking for Wikipedians to participate in WP:SUMO

I've noticed your edits on pages relating to the sport of Sumo. We encourage you to join WikiProject Sumo where we are working to expand, improve, and standardize all articles related to sumo on Wikipedia.

I'm coming back to you because you deleted the mention of the Hakuhō era from Taihō's page. It was not a mistake, the period of rivalry between Taihō and Kashiwado was called the HakuHō era. The expression is spelled 柏鵬時代 in Japanese, not 白鵬時代 because it doesn't refer to sumo's most succesful athlete but to kanji in both Kashiwado (柏 = kashiwa / haku) and Taihō (鵬 = hō). The same logic applies for the period when Takanohana and Wakanohana were yokozuna, it was then called the WakaTaka boom (若貴ブーム). Hope I was of any help :) - OtharLuin (talk) 12:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
