==Mission Statement==
[[The Samurai Archives]] Wiki project is an attempt to create the most concise and detailed database of pre-20th century Japanese history on the internet. Although the SamuraiWiki is hosted on the Samurai Archives, this is a general resource intended for everyone interested in Japanese history. This wiki is in '''no way''' affiliated with Wikipedia.

===Becoming an Approved Editor===
Because the SamuraiWiki's purpose is to create a high quality research database for pre-20th century Japanese history, new members do not have editing privileges. ''This wiki is closed to new editors until further notice.''
And remember, '''it is not necessary to sign up to read the articles'''. Only to '''edit''' them.
====Chronology====
==Use for Research==
===Note to Students and Professors===
Citing sources for the articles on the SamuraiWiki is considered top priority. The purpose of the SamuraiWiki is to assist in research for any and all interested readers. As such, verifiable sources are listed on all of the articles, and those sources will be a good place to continue your research. Because only approved editors are allowed to add information to this website, we make it our priority to verify all of the information added with reliable published sources.
For articles recently moved over from the Samurai Archives Sengoku Biographical dictionary, the sources are slowly being added, however the full source list can be found [http://www.samurai-archives.com/dictionary/dictnotes.html at the bottom of this page].
It is always highly advised when doing research that you don't rely exclusively on the text here, but also go to the sources listed. Although we try our utmost to utilize only reliable sources, it is always in the best interest of the student to follow up any research here with the original sources of each article.
