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

Sesshō, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経), 877-880.^[1]
Kampaku, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経), 880-884.
Daijō-daijin, Fujiwara no Mototsune.^[2]
Sadaijin, Minamoto no Tooru　(源融), 872-895.
Udaijin, Fujiwara no Matotsune.^[3]
Udaijin, Minamoto no Masaru　(源多), 882-888.

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]
