Phrasing[edit]

"scholars can only lament" ??? Would a different wording be better? PiFanatic (talk) 09:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course -- your point is well-taken. However, for all its self-evident rhetorical flaws, this expression does at least capture the essence of something other than a mathematical closed-form expression. There must be many ways to express this open-ended state of knowledge and certainty. I have no doubt that something better can be contrived. I just don't know how to move towards better phrasing. Not yet.

Suggestions?

This same flaw afflicts articles about almost all the emperors in traditional order of succession prior to the Asuka period. In the article about Emperor Seinei, this one sentence was simply deleted by Techgeist -- see here; but, I'd prefer it if you or I (or someone else) were to stumble across an alternate way of handling this ...? --Tenmei (talk) 15:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image of Imperial symbol[edit]

The Imperial mon (emblem) was added in the Notes section in 2010. In 2012, the image was removed from this and other articles about Japanese emperors -- compare here. Zenwort's edit summary is clear and reasonable --img of Imperial seal removed, this was not used before the Muromachi era

The use of this symbol is justified because this article is an important part of a grouping of articles about the emperors of Japan -- see Imperial Household Agency (Kunaichō): 懿徳天皇 (04). Does this rationale provide a good enough reason for it to be restored? --Enkyo2 (talk) 16:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
