Will review. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 06:12, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

General

No copyvio/dablink/external link issues
Duplinks: I can see many, use this tool to fix them
- Done—there are still a couple left, but they're redirects that could be turned into full articles. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:30, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

The lead should be a good 2 to 3 paras long for an article of this length covering all major points in the article
- Done. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:30, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Say AD/BC in 825–880
- Is that really necessary? There are no BC dates in recorded Japanese history. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:30, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Whoops, didn't know that. But articles should generally mention AD/BC at first mention. May be someone who does not know of this, like me, will get confused. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 06:20, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - WP:ERA says, "In general, do not use CE or AD unless required to avoid ambiguity". Regardless, as the dates increase rather than decrease, any confusion would be temporary, I would imagine. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 11:15, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birth and ancestry

Begin the article with the full name of the person
- Done. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:30, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Say AD/BC in the first line

Romantic affairs

You should add the names of one or a few of each of these parties of speculators you mention in the 2nd para. Presently "it has been" sounds vague on this.
- Given the specualtion took place over many cneturies, that would be difficult. The sources used in the article don't name them, and hunting them down in mediaeval texts may constitute OR or SYNTH.

Poetry

Combined, poems attributed to Narihira in court anthologies total eighty-seven "87" would make this less wordy.
- Done. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:31, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
according to Rodd and Henkenius Who are they?
- Literary scholars and translators. I've now qualified them. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:30, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the changes. The prose is excellent, I await you response to one last comment. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 06:20, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I am happy to promote this. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 13:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Father of Emperor Yozei?

Is there any source for this rumor? (In English, or vouched for by someone who's better at reading Japanese?) If so, it might be good to add both the source here and a small trivia section to the page on the Emperor Yozei. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabbycatlove (talk • contribs) 17:31, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tabbycatlove: The sources are cited in the article. Unfortunately at present they are mostly in Japanese. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 22:39, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
