*Should we stick to using terms such as "Prime Minister" which are only rough translations, or should we call the offices by their actual names? -[[User:LordAmeth|LordAmeth]] 18:09, 26 November 2007 (PST)

**I would also like clarification on using terms such as 'Prime Minister' vice 'Dajodaijin'. In this case, I think it is apt--Dajodaijin is the prime minister, in that he is the first of the ministers of state. The next three are the Sadaijin, Udaijin, and the rarely seen Chudaijin (I think that is it... I don't have all my books with me to look it up). I've been using the articles I have as a guide (though I've been foregoing their tendency to use 'Great King' instead of 'Emperor' (or they will use 'Tenno' by itself). Also, they occassionally use titles for a person who has the de facto powers but isn't actually in that postion. -[[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 04:58, 27 November 2007 (PST)

::If possible, it would be best to use the Japanese terms, though, since those could be linked to descriptive articles themselves. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 12:06, 27 November 2007 (PST)

:I appreciate it. I should note that this was mostly born of two hours of boredom due to my being jet lagged and unable to sleep at 4am (Actually, it started around 3am, but at 4am I finally gave up trying). I figured that this was a good place to start--I really just want to get more of the Fujiwara and Heian figures in the Biography section, but figured the Fujiwara family was something that needed definition. I hope others can add to it. -[[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 04:58, 27 November 2007 (PST)
