Detailed enough for a B, but still written too much like a timeline, and less like an article.

message: * Wadō 2, in the 5th month (709): "Kin sin fouk" ("Kin sin foŭ szu") arrived as the ambassador from "Sin ra"; and he brought an offer of tribute. He visited Fujiwara-no "Foufira" to prepare the way for further visits.Titsingh, p. 64. [1834 transliteration; conventional spelling unknown]
:Can you figure out how to convert these 1834 transliterations into personal names and a place name with a more conventional spelling?

replies: text: I fixed and cited Sin ra -> Silla. The ambassador's name is 金信福, which my copy of Shoku Nihongi (新古典文学大系 #12) edition reads as コムシンフク in Japanese, but an authentic Korean spelling should be preferred. In the present version of the article it has been removed though. Bendono (talk) 03:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it says ambassadors (plural), of which 金信福 was just one. Bendono (talk) 04:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Transliteration

message: Renaming an article is a major change that should be discussed first, per Wikipedia policy. There are seven emperors/empresses in total that would have to be changed in accordance with your suggestion. The reason they are spelled as they are currently is that traditional Hepburn is far more likely to result in the proper pronunciation by the vast majority of Wikipedia users. There is no "en" sound in Gemmei, and spelling it Genmei misleadingly suggests that there is to anyone who has not studied Japanese. It is also the Romanization that is used by perhaps the most authoritative reference on Japanese history, The Cambridge History of Japan. Having said all that, I'm not terribly animated about how it is spelled, as long as the change is done consistently. But you first need to take your case to the Wiki community and convince them. By the way, if you Google the more popular double m emperors (Jimmu, Temmu), you will find that mm is far more common than nm. -Jefu 01:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
