Talk:Chōjirō Tadaoki Sasakibe

"Was Former"
There's a bit of a grammatical mix-up in this article. It says that Sasakibe "was the former lieutenant of the 1st Division." This isn't quite correct; he either "was the lieutenant" or he "is the former lieutenant." If you say he "was the former lieutenant" and the past-tense "was" is because he's dead, then the sentence actually means that he used to be the former lieutenant before he died, which is untrue. It's small, but it's bothering me. So can we change it? Avolling (talk) 06:25, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sasakibe's Name
I just wanted to raise the fact that the English re-ordering of Sasakibe's name on this page doesn't reflect the Japanese one correctly. There is a convention in Japanese history of warriors having an additional name which indicates their rank in the family. Speculating, Choujirou could be this kind of name, but even if you ignore that possibility, Japanese culture doesn't utilise actual middle names in the way of the West and Tadaoki is definitely a formal personal name, so should be listed as his first name (even if he is known under the name Choujirou). Is it all right to change the order to Tadaoki Choujirou Sasakibe?Vraieesprit (talk) 00:20, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

I believe that it will be fine if the order of his name stays as it currently is.--


 * Well, it's your call. I just thought that it would be better if the site was culturally correct...ut if you think it doesn't matter, I shall leave it be.Vraieesprit (talk) 00:43, July 9, 2012 (UTC)
