# Talk:Kakinomoto no Hitomaro

Wow, many parts of this article are simply, not English. Something should be done about this. --71.197.123.235 05:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

What are you really complaining about? The common use of Japanese terms? Or poor quality English prose? --Gwern  (contribs) 18:09 16 September 2007 (GMT)

I am in the process of incorporating historical and scholarly material from the Japanese version of this article. I have uploaded a direct translation of the article:
http://www.laits.utexas.edu/wiki/theory/pmwiki.php?n=Main.KakinomotoNoHitomaro
I will be slowly revising the English version in more coherent language to reflect additional historical information.
Thanks!

Much of the following text is probably redundant following my rewrite and incorporation of almost all of the information that can be gleaned from several sources. If any of it is not redundant and can be sourced, it can be added back to the article. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 12:18, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

@Iazyges: ? I assume you meant to draw my attention to the dead link, but I actually fixed that some time ago after seeing the above. The link would have been an ELMAYBE even if I could see it, but there are dozens of Kakinomoto shrines all over Japan and that is not even apparently one of the more important ones, so I removed it.

### Prose Suggestions
He was the most prominent of the poets included in the Man'yōshū, suggest He was the most prominent of the poets included in the Man'yōshū, the oldest compilation of Japanese poetry,
@Hijiri88: That is all my suggestions. Apologies for the long wait. Just noticed that:
In Akashi, Hyōgo Prefecture there is a Kakinomoto Shrine dedicated to him, commemorating an early Heian belief that Hitomaro's spirit came to rest in Akashi, an area the historical Hitomaro probably visited multiple times. Hitomaro is today ranked, along with Fujiwara no Teika, Sōgi and Bashō, as one of the four greatest poets in Japanese history. is uncited, will pass as soon as this is fixed.

@Iazyges: If you check the code, there was actually an invisible comment explaining how it was already sourced, but went ahead and included the source anyway.[1] Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 22:56, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
