I notice you often make the following mistakes in your articles:
1. '(insert person's name) joined Shinsengumi'. You should say 'joined '''the''' Shinsengumi.'
2. '(insert person's name) participated (or fought) Ikedaya affair'. You should say 'in the Ikedaya affair' or at battle of blablablah'.
Those comes up often, but they're nothing big. Just to let you know. :-) [[User:Baian|Baian]] 8:57, 12/15/06 (EST)
Thanks for correcting. My contributions are tagged with "draft" since I am not from English speaking country. So if you find errors, please correct them.--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 20:41, 15 December 2006 (PST)
::No problem, you're written English is at least as good as my written Japanese, if not better. I ordered the Gakken Shinsengumi book from amazon.co.jp a few days ago, and as soon as I get it, I'm going to start helping you with the Shinsengumi biographies - I'll also help with editing all of them, so don't worry too much about your grammar. I think the Gakken book I ordered is the same Gakken book you have - what do you think of it? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 21:26, 15 December 2006 (PST)
Is it 新選組隊士伝? I use this book as a surce of my contributions.
I think Gakken's [http://www.gakken.co.jp/rekigun/series.html this series] is good.--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 21:39, 15 December 2006 (PST)
:Yes, that's the book. I also added a category title to this as well, so the category box will start at the top of the page, to make it easier to respond to. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 21:43, 15 December 2006 (PST)

I've created a page where you, msr.Iaidoka, and Rikoseishin can coordinate your efforts on the bujutsu articles: [[SamuraiWiki:Bujutsu_task_force|Bujutsu Task Force]]. I think this will be a more efficient way to coordinate your efforts, since all three of you have been working on them. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 20:51, 19 November 2006 (PST)

== [[Kiyokawa Hachiro]] ==
What exactly does "he also received a Menkyo of Hokushin Itto Ryu at Genbukan" mean? Does it mean that he gained a license to teach, or was it just an award or certificate of achievement? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 10:12, 27 November 2006 (PST)
:"Generally" the ranks of Bujutsu skills are
*Inka 印可 (You can have your own dojo)
*Menkyo 免許 (You can teach)
*Mokuroku 目録
*Kirigami 切紙
Every Ryu-ha has different names but above 4 ranks are used in most books to explain skills of bujutsu. Details of major Ryu-ha rank systems are

:As long as you have spaces before the link and after the link, it will work automatically - I just fixed that link for you. Should I modify the article to indicate that he gained the right to teach? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 00:24, 28 November 2006 (PST)
I don't know because it is not only page that has a link to [[Menkyo]].
How about writing it on [[Menkyo]] page?--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 01:46, 28 November 2006 (PST)

== Metsuke ==
Is this information on '''[[Metsuke]]''' correct? I've gotten most of it from a translation of the Kyuji Shimonroku interview with a Metsuke, but it is mostly just the opinion of one Metsuke. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 01:57, 18 April 2007 (PDT)
I think it's correct. But I am not sure about "Metsuke were generally chosen from the ranks of Tsukaiban..."--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 06:02, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
This is an english translation of an interview with Yamaguchi Naoki, former Metsuke, published in the Kyuuji Shimonroku. I don't have the original Japanese:
:'''Interviewer''': What sort of person generally became a Metsuke?
:'''Yamaguchi Naoki''': The proper order to become a Metsuke was on the whole to be transfered from one of three offices, Tsukaiban, Kachigashira, or Kojuunin-Gashira. Or, as I just said, someone could come from the interior. It would be hard to turn those down. His Highness had tried them out in his own vicinity before they came to us, so...
:'''Interviewer''': When you say "from the interior", you mean from the ranks of the Konando and the Kosho?
:'''Yamaguchi Naoki''': Yes, I do.
Do you have any sources that talk about Metsuke? This is the only source I have. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 22:06, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
:I think I have seen somewhere but I just can't find.--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 02:44, 21 April 2007 (PDT)
== Dates ==
Thanks for adding the specific dates for the events I listed under [[1606]]. I am curious, though, where you found these dates, particularly for such relatively obscure events. Do you have a quality chronology source? [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 02:21, 25 June 2007 (PDT)
: [[Japan Chronik]]--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 02:22, 25 June 2007 (PDT)
::Shikisoku, can you list the citation information on the article for the Japan Chronik, so that interested people can use the information to purchase it or find it at a library? --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 02:46, 25 June 2007 (PDT)
: There are too many. I can scan the pages and upload to SA forum.--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 02:50, 25 June 2007 (PDT)
:I just mean the basic info - the publisher, date of publication, etc. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 10:51, 25 June 2007 (PDT)
== Ichi-nen or gan-nen? ==
Schikisoku, I notice that on many of your time lines you say "XX一年” instead of “XX元年”. Is that deliberate?--[[User:Bethetsu|Bethetsu]] 21:51, 26 June 2007 (PDT)
:Ichinen and Gannen are same. If you prefer Gannnen, you can change them.--[[User:Shikisoku|Shikisoku]] 01:52, 27 June 2007 (PDT)
