Talk:Shinsengumi

I wasn't sure if all of these books were references for this article, or just some of them - Shikisoku, do you think you can check the sources listed in the article, and remove any you didn't use for this specific article? Thanks --Kitsuno 09:39, 2 November 2006 (PST)

Basically I looked all the books except "Hijikata Toshizo"(deleted). And I used google and Amazon.co.jp for "Fiction" section. Is that OK? --Shikisoku 02:19, 4 November 2006 (PST)

Numbered list of rules

I've changed the format for the numbered list of rules. Does it look ok to you guys? Nagaeyari 22:16, 5 January 2007 (PST)

lunar calendar

Then we may have to rewrite whole S-A wiki. So let's wait Kistuno's decision.--Shikisoku 17:36, 12 January 2007 (PST)

In this case, I was referring to your(?) "Okita Soji died of Tuberculosis just a month after Kondo's death."

In 1868, April was the intercalary month. Kondou died on 05/17/1868 (04/25 lunar calendar) and Okita died on 07/19/1868 (05/30 lunar calendar).

If we called 5/30 a month after 4/25, what would we call intercalary 4/30? Seven 17:45, 12 January 2007 (PST)

I confirmed the month had Uruu. --Shikisoku 17:50, 12 January 2007 (PST)

All dates on this wiki are considered lunar dates unless otherwise noted, otherwise we'd have to go through and write (lunar month) thousands of times. No need. In some cases (for example, most of the Shinsengumi biographies) I have the lunar dates first, followed by the western dates. --Kitsuno 20:06, 12 January 2007 (PST)
