Temporary Notes for the Editors

For a look at the standard biography format, see Adachi Yasumori, for the standard date entry, see 1574, and for the standard battle entry, see the Battle of Akechi Castle - also notice that all applicable categories are added to each page. I'll redo this section at a later point in a more organized way to highlight articles that fit the formatting we agree upon.

And don't forget to notate what changes you did with each edit, and if they are minor, be sure to click the "minor edit" box - it will make things easier to follow.

I also have a copy of these notes on the Community Portal section.
