move page to Yoshinogari Ancient Ruins

[edit]

Should we move this page to Yoshinogari Ancient Ruins? Is Yoshinogari solely means the ancient ruins in archaeology? --Jjok 21:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, you make an excellent point, Jjok. I guess that Yoshinogari is originally the name of a village or small administrative district. However, "Ancient Ruins" sounds unnatural to me. If we translate iseki, I guess it means archaeological site. How about moving to this: "Yoshinogari (archaeological site)". An alternative might be "Yoshinogari (national historic park)", but I am not sure about that one. What do you think? Mumun 00:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yoshinogari site looks academic and common term though I am not familiar to Wikipedia:Naming conventions. I took Yoshinogari Ancient Ruins from wikimedia commons and it seems originated from the official site.[5] Google search results of Yoshinogari ruins also seems mostly Japanese sites including junior high history book.[6]--Jjok 04:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Again! We want to instill confidence in Wikipedia users that we know of what what we write. Therefore, leaning more toward professional terminilogy "Yoshinogari site" sounds good to me. I think 'Ancient Ruins' is a poor and unsuitable term -- I daresay sounds like non-native speaker English in poorly-edited tourism guidebooks (no insult intended). How about "Yoshinogari site" ?

Yoshinogari was also fixed. Thank you for your edit.--Jjok 02:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Based on the official park website, as well as the japanese wiki article, I changed 1989 to 1986. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.232.127.21 (talk) 05:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
