The article posits Yamatai's location in Kyushu, when the evidence is inconclusive. Gina Barnes, J Edward Kidder, Jr., and Walter Edwards (the leading English scholars on this issue) all believe in the Kinai theory. If you wanted to mention some largest chiefdoms without venturing into the Yamatai debate, I recommend looking at Matsuuri or Ito (can't remember their exact names), and the various chiefdoms one had to pass before reaching Yamatai, itself.

- Sounds good to me. I actually meant to drop you a note to ask if you might double-check and correct the stuff I wrote, and to see if you wanted to help out on such a fundamental topic. I don't mean to presume that I actually know what I'm talking about when it comes to such ancient history, though I have a strong interest. Thanks for your suggestions.

- I'm going to go ahead and create a "Geographic Locations" category to put this and other areas into - and future articles on Shikoku, Ezo, Kinai, smaller places like Yoshiwara, etc. --Kitsuno 00:09, 30 November 2007 (PST)
