How better to present these dates?

[edit]

In the Kugyō section:

.................................................... lifetime, 836-891
... time in office (877-880)
............Sesshō (877-880), Fujiwara no Mototsune (藤原基経), 836-891
  1. ^ Brown, D. (1979). Gukanshō, p. 288.
  2. ^ Brown, p. 288.
  3. ^ Brown, p. 288.

In the intial edit, I intended to present the dates during which someone held a specific court title, but that now seems too ambitious for a start-level article. The intention had been to explain the sequence of serial officeholders with these dates.

Instead, it's probably better to simply list the birth/death dates. Arguably, it might be possible (or even preferable) to include both sets of dates as the information becomes available ...? --Ooperhoofd 19:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
