I hope folks will use this to let me know what I need to do... I'm still a novice at this Wiki thing. JLBadgley

notes & sources

We're still going on a case by case basis, but it isn't always necessary to footnote every piece of info from a source unless it's a direct quote, so we've mostly been just listing the sources in the "references" section.

I think that until we have a substantial collection of bujutsu, we should probably leave out the more specific "~jutsu" category links. Once we get a long list of articles, we can create the categories on a case by case basis.

Also, because we aren't necessarily footnoting every piece of info that comes from a book we list as a source, it isn't necessary to footnote "sources needed" - they can be assumed to have come from one of the books listed as a reference (I left them in the kenjutsu article assuming that you'll be adding the info later). But if the info could be contentious, it is good to footnote it specifically with the source. But rather than footnoting "sources needed", just tag the whole article with one of the following tags:

{{stub}} - a short article with missing info. {{verify}} - an article with information that seems questionable or incorrect, or with info that doesn't match the references. {{draft}} - An article that is messy or poorly formatted.

Lastly, again, case by case, but we tend to add a "references" section with book citations even if there are footnotes in the article itself.

I think that's about it :D - I really need to update the "help" pages. Yet another thing to do on my list.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to remember everything--I do find different styles, but I'll try to keep up with what I see in the other articles until there is specific information in the "help" pages to the contrary. :)

Formatting tips

Not sure if you'll check the forum or here first, but here's a post with a couple formatting tips for the articles: http://forums.samurai-archives.com/viewtopic.php?p=31948#31948

Seems this redirect doesn't go anywhere: Mizuno Nobumasa - is this correct? --Kitsuno 14:34, 7 November 2007 (PST)
Hmmm... we should probably delete that. I thought he was coming up later, but it seems I was mistaken. We should probably delete the redirect. Sorry about that. --Josh

Notes on articles

Oda Nobuhiro -- this article mentions the Nagashima monto while the article on Oda Nobutsugu mentions the Nagashima ikko.

Oda Nobukane is also listed in the Sengoku Biographical Dictionary as Oda Nobuyoshi, although that is already in the Wiki as another individual.
