editI asked for help from Fg2:
- Will you please comment or edit the "box" in the Genealogy section of Emperor Sutoku?
- Also, please look at a similar "box" in the Genealogy sectoin of Emperor Go-Fukakusa ≠ Prince Hisahito of Akishino?
- I wonder how better to have handled this ...? --Ooperhoofd 21:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Fg2 responded:
- I made a couple of small changes. It looks very informative. It anticipates a question a reader might have, and answers it succinctly. Fg2 06:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- (diff) (hist) . . Emperor Sutoku; 06:47 . . (-7) . . Fg2 (Talk | contribs) (→Genealogy - Removed "shinno" which means "Prince" and is thus a title rather than a name. Linked directly to article on romanization.)

By posting this here, I answer a few anticipated questions; and I invite further comment perhaps. --Ooperhoofd 20:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- Similar pairing as above: Emperor Fushimi ≠ Emperor Showa --Ooperhoofd 19:51, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Removal of Three Great Yokai of Japan
editRecently a well-meaning Wikipedian has been removing the section about Emperor Sutoku being included in the "Three Great Yokai of Japan" by citing that the information was not originally properly sourced on Japanese Wikipedia when it first appeared in 2005. Regardless of the original source, since then, the term has become widespread on the Japanese internet. The fact that the source of the term is not identified should be included in this article, however as the term is now widely used I don't believe that it's appropriate to remove it entirely. The fact of the matter is that the term does exist today, with almost 1 million Google results for "日本三大妖怪." This is folklore after all, and the definitions change over the years. If an unsourced Wikipedia edit was responsible for the widespread use of the term, then perhaps that ought to be recognized in this article. Simply deleting the information from Wikipedia isn't going to make the term go away, and the lack of its mention on this page is only going to cause confusion.
