Talk:Tomoe Gozen

message: :Image:Tomoe bids farewell to Yoshinaka -Yoshitsune-.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: If anyone involved in editing this article actually read Japanese, you could take a peek at the Japanese version of this article and see what any educated Japanese person knows, to wit, that The Tale of the Heike is an "epic," not an historical account, and there exists no evidence that the character of Tomoe Gozen actually existed.126.119.101.83 (talk) 14:27, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Uh, yoo-hoo? Tale of the Heike is not an "historical account"; no evidence Tomoe was real. 

message: I assume that "Tomoe" is her given name and "Gozen" her family name (because I've seen "Tomoe" as a female given name before), but it is not clear. It should be made clear in the article. Wikipedia articles about Japanese people from this time period usually use Japanese name order with the family name first. Example: Hojo Masako

replies: text: Neither is her family name. Gozen is merely a honorific similar to "dono". --Pitke (talk) 18:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which is the family name? "Gozen" or "Tomoe"? 

message: The Tomoe in Sekiro is almost certainly not Tomoe Gozen herself, as the game takes place in the Sengoku period centuries later, but rather a fictional character inspired by her and combined with the significance of Tomoe in Japanese symbolism, connecting her with water and lightning storms.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.152.90 (talk) 04:28, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

message: According to some Japanese sources, she was a bugeisha, and there is a difference between the onna-musha and onna-bugeisha. The onna-musha stayed at home to protect their household and villages (and were usually samurai wives); the onna-bugeisha actually fought on the battlefield! 2600:6C5C:6C00:EFB:F043:947D:3E8D:3AC8 (talk) 16:24, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
