Added Nara Period Nagaeyari 21:26, 10 September 2006 (PDT)

I think we need an "Aristocrats" subgroup for the bios, as men like Wake no Kiyomaro and others don't belong in a general samurai bio section. Nagaeyari 06:20, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

Just add a [[Category:Aristocrats]] tag in the appropriate articles, then edit the Aristocrats page and add a [[Category:Biographies]] tag.

I'm interested in a "Fauna and Flora" category. What do you think?

"Fauna and Flora"? Uh, I guess - you have some flowers of historical significance? --Kitsuno 13:28, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

Yeah, there's a lot of interest in that subject when dealing with Jomon and Yayoi times. Secondly, with the mysterious addition of a Seiichi Iwao bio, I think a "Historians" bio section is worth-while. Also, Nihon Shoki and Kojiki mythology, contain animals and plants Nagaeyari 13:57, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

I definately want historians, authors, and books. --Kitsuno 14:40, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

Books category begun Nagaeyari 16:13, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

I think we need a category "Background"? to put general topics like age (kazoe-doshi), the writing system, geography, plants(?) etc. in. Bethetsu 13 September 2006

Bethetsu, you write that age calc article on the spot? Fantastic job! I agree, there needs to be a catch-all on culture/traditions of SOME sort. Course, my fauna idea got shot down ;) Nagaeyari 20:55, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

I agree - I was thinking "resources" although I don't necessarily like "resources", I can't think of a better word right now.

--Kitsuno 21:08, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

I didn't write it quite on the spot--I have run into the age problem before and I had in mind to write about it. What about "Background" as a category? Bethetsu

I'm thinking "background" is OK, maybe "Historical Background", or "Background Information", "Background Resources"... I am very unsure at the moment, I have to think about it - I welcome anyone else's input as well. "background" seems to be lacking something, but I can't figure out what I want to say... --Kitsuno 22:47, 12 September 2006 (PDT)
