Talk:Emperor Meiji

message: Japanese territorial expansion began under Meiji's rule, during the Meiji-Restoration period. This includes, most specifically, the Japanese annex of Korea. 
I will be editing this article to add this information.

thread_title:  Japanese Imperialism 

message: I don't think I've ever heard him called this except when specifying his given name, which Wikipedia does with all his predecessors, but in a more appropriate manner. Should we not structure it more like that? elvenscout742 17:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Also called Mutsuhito? 

message: The article states :
:"He was formally adopted by Asako Nyōgō (later Empress Dowager Eishō), the principal consort of Emperor Kōmei, on 11 July 1860. He also received the personal name Mutsuhito, the rank of shinnō (imperial prince, and thus a potential successor to the throne) and the title of Kōtaishi (Crown Prince) on the same day."
Does that mean that between 1852 and 1860 Mutsuhito was not his personal name ? Did he have another one ? Or is the sentence simply misturned? Švitrigaila 11:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's exactly what it means. As noted in a below section, he was called Sachinomiya as a child. I believe this is adequately explained in Japanese names#Imperial names, which seems intuitive enough for those interested in the naming system. 213.243.160.224 19:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  His birth name? 

message: What does "KG" after his name mean?  King?  Kwansei Gakuin University?  It leads to a disambig page which doesn't lead to an obvious place.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.59.254 (talk) 05:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  this article is terrible 

message: I included a picture in the infobox of the Meiji Emperor. It is one of the few good images there are of him. I believe it to be better to include a photograph rather then a drawing as was previously the case, as it is closer to nature and of a much better quality. How are the other editor's views on this?

thread_title:  Infobox picture 

message: Why "Emperor Meiji" and not "Meiji Emperor"? I realize the former is a common usage, but it is technically incorrect and an awkward attempt to make East Asian era names conform to customary English monarch naming. Meiji is not the name of a person, but rather of a time period that corresponds to the reign of a person (whose personal name was Mutsuhito). Thus the latter usage ("Meiji Emperor") is the preferred one in academic materials. Wikipedia already uses x Emperor rather than Emperor x for Chinese monarchs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so I don't know why Japanese ones are treated differently. (If the reason is because of popular usage, I might point out that Googling "Emperor Kangxi" or "Emperor Qianlong" yields more hits than their counterparts, so clearly popular usage is not the only factor here.)--50.47.85.51 (talk) 19:34, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the current infobox image is a drawing. Meiji died in 1912, so it’s kinda odd that we aren’t using a photograph for the lead image. And it’s not like there are no good photographs of Meiji. There are. In fact, here’s 2 photographs that would be perfectly suitable for the lead image. Thoughts?

text: Personally I think it's a great revision. I'd prefer to use a real picture of him, much like how the Japanese page does. I believe the most common picture of him is the 1873 portrait of him anyways. CeruleanBeat04 (talk) 07:48, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
