Talk:Edo Castle

Article flaws
This needs formatting. The picture layout is especially atrocious. --Maru 23:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I didn't do it myself because:
 * I was exhausted from so much editing. Did you look at my contributions for the day?  They numbered around 60 edits.  Hiroshige alone was majorly revamped, almost from nothing, content-wise.
 * Formatting of pictures is fairly hairy for me, as I do not know all the options and switches available. In addition, I prefer for an article's previous editors to do a major edit. Works out better that way, IMO. --Maru 11:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Neither did I! Every time I do layout, someone changes it --- probably because they have a different screen width. So I've taken a lazy approach and stacked the photos on the right. I'll try putting the photos in a gallery. See if you like that. --Fg2 11:53, September 5, 2005 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that we could put the best, most comprehensive view at top, (possibly in an infobox if such things exist for castles), and salt the rest alternating downwards. But give the gallery a shot and we'll see how it works. --Maru 16:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Heading picture
One of the gallery pictures should probably be promoted to the top as an example image. The foundation image makes the most sense content-wise, but it is not a very good picture (small & blurry). I was thinking perhaps the gate image instead? Does anyone know if that image is at all representative of the structure as a whole?-Spyforthemoon 16:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Why not check out the link to Commons at the bottom of the article. There are many more photos there, and they give a feeling for the castle. I took the gate (where Ii Naosuke was assassinated) and I'd say it represents the style of the old castle. Another one is Image:KokyoTowerM1105.jpg, which is inside the grounds and not ordinarily accessible; the photograph was taken when the castle was open on the Emperor's birthday a year ago. It looks good at the size that might go in a box at the top. You might find something you like better. Fg2 21:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Kanji
Could someone please add the kanji for all the names of the structures, such as for Ō-omote, Fujimi-yagura, etc.? Thanks. Gryffindor 13:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Ishimuro
What is the date Ishimuro was built? Because, I think it wasn't only stone cellar for storage. The design looks like a Air-raid shelter seen around Japan during WWII. Rasseru (talk) 22:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Momijiyama
Just a minor change to remove the impression that Tokugawa Ieyasu built something 75 years after he died. JimBreen (talk) 21:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Recent edits
I've made some changes; the description of the layout of the place seemed unclear. I'm also not sure about some of the terms used: the Honmaru is said to have 11 keeps; I'm thinking this means tower, as (by definition) a castle only has one keep. But I've no idea what a "defense-house" is; guard-room? hoarding? And the compounds are described as enceintes; I'm thinking this should be bailey. Moonraker12 (talk) 16:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
