Copyright violations

You can go to the book's Google Books page to confirm. --Calton | Talk 07:31, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Claims of collusion with Taira no Masakado

The Japanese version of this article says that Taira no Masakado and Fujiwara no Sumitomo never knew each other and that rumors of collusion among them was just hearsay, with the fact that both of their rebellions occurred around the same time being a coincidence (although both revolts are collectively referred to as the 承平天慶の乱). The section 逸話 covers the topic. The initial page which got me interested in the topic also states this under the "平将門（たいらのまさかど）の乱" heading, although I assume it's not up to citation standards. Given that this article directly ties the two rebellions together and states that Fujiwara no Sumitomo directly supported Masakado's rebellion, if anyone gets back to this page in the future it would seem worthwhile to check this information's authenticity. 2600:6C40:4700:DE4:22:4E85:6E59:5ECB (talk) 23:42, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
