Since the "provinces" category encompases ancient areas and provinces, should this go there? I'm trying to decide, but if you forsee a lot of articles about different areas/islands of ryukyu, as well as a lot of people related to it, go ahead and create the "Ryukyu Kingom" article, and put it in the "locations" category. I think that should work - I don't like to go more than two levels with categories unless absolutely necessary, but putting Ryukyu Kingdom in "locations" should work fine - then you can put everything related to ryukyu into that category in addition to whatever biographical etc. category it goes into - for example, I think putting chuzan into "provinces" and into "Ryukyu Kingdom" would work - what do you think? Sorry it took me all night to think of that :D --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 10:22, 17 June 2007 (PDT)

::Yeah, Okinawa's kind of a funny one, since I'm sneaking it in here even though it wasn't part of Japan until 1609, and even then semi-independent until 1879. It's not really a province, so much as a vassal state, a separate kingdom unto itself (prior to that, three kingdoms), so I don't know if province really works. But if you're alright with "Okinawa" or "Ryukyu" being a high-level category, just below Locations, that might be best. We don't need to create another category for the Kingdom - Okinawa or Ryukyu ought to be broad enough to encompass it, as well as earlier and later developments. Thank you for your help. I'll wait to hear back from you before I make any changes to the categories. [[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 12:32, 17 June 2007 (PDT)
