message: Removed this: "Religious festivals are commonly celebrated on recurring cycles in a calendar year or lunar calendar. This means that, because ancient calendars were not very accurate, the exact date of the festival changes each year."
Removed. As stated, this is either misleading or inaccurate. Lunar or other astronomical dates are very accurate, they just don't correspond exactly to the contemporary Gregorian calendar.
This is even an existing joke:

- "The 25th of Kislev, same as always."

To many players who enjoy J-Pop they enjoy this song a lot."

message: Can someone change the mention of an "Edward I of England" to what he really was "Edward the Elder" Since they are differnt monarchs and ruled far apart from each other. It wasnt until a few minutes after reading this article that I realized he couldnt possibly have married the daughter of the actual Edward I of England.
But why was he called "The Simple"?
::It is no consensus as to why he was called "the Simple", but "the Straightforward" is probably better. There is no evidence Charles was dull or simple-minded; he might just have been bluntly honest in diplomatic matters. It is tempting to invoke a modern linguistic analogy between a person who is simple, and a person who keeps it simple.

message: Shouldn't this page be under "Charles III of France"? There's no controversy over his enumeration is there? Srnec 22:11, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, let's see. James's Origins of France does indeed index him as "Charles III, king of West Francia, 'the Simple'". However, it's an error to suppose that indexes represent auctorial viewpoints. James refers to the man as "Charles the Simple" in the text (and also to "Charles the Bald" and to "Louis the Stammerer"), but to Louis III, IV and V). Gauvard does the same in La France au Moyen Âge (the index of which is similar to that in James's book): the text has Charles le Chauve, Charles le Simple and Louis le Bègue. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 22:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I do like consistency: it makes editing easier. On the other hand, I'm not sure that this is really a case where it adds much. To begin with, if you call the article "Charles III", then the officious will insist on it beginning with the words "Charles III" and on referring to him as that throughout. That doesn't help readers; he's usually called Charles the Simple. Again, there are already articles on every king of West Francia and France, so that editing is only a case of adding to existing articles rather than writing new ones. Charles III links to Charles the Simple, so that doesn't seem to be an issue for editors. For what it's worth, I'd say that the article on Philip II should be called Philip Augustus, because that is what he's known as. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 22:09, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Landed gentry in China

message: What is the Gentry-Theory?
It is underpinned by W. Eberard's work,
a friend of Max Weber.
I am really sorry, but this is outdated- the Tang were still a quite aristocratic society (as it has been proven by Twitchett and others). It was only in the late Song, during the aftermath of Wang Anshi's (failed) reforms, when a "meritocratic" gentry rose to power. The nobility from the period of divisions was actually quite alive under the Tang, but it is true that An Lushan's rebellion and the fall of the Tang finally made things easier for scholar-officials.  Keep in mind that gentry refers to a specific class of (Confucian-educated) landowners with local political influence. The gentry are a phenomenon of late imperial China- settled bureaucrats and their families. I am afraid that I lack the skill to contribute here and due to my work I don't have the time to add proper references etc. ...  kind regards...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.213.38 (talk) 17:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

最初は双葉社の『漫画アクション』に連載されていたが、同誌の休刊（リニューアル）に伴い『イブニング』に移籍した。なお単行本19巻以前が『アクション』掲載分、20巻以降が『イブニング』掲載分であるが、移籍に伴う諸事情により『アクション』掲載時終盤の数話は単行本として発行されることなくお蔵入りとなっている（移籍後の20巻以降の設定は19巻までに酷似しているものの、中国にいたという設定がなく日本で裏家業を続けているものとなっている可能性が高い）。
2008年1月を境に、『イブニング』誌での連載が原因不明のまま休止している。後に作画担当のたなかが原作者の橋本を相手取り、著作権者がたなかである事の確認や単行本の著作権料を請求したためである事が明らかとなった[1]。
