Talk:Toyokuni Shrine (Kyoto)

Re-visiting REDIRECT
Something happened with a simple redirect -- the entire text was wiped out an replace by another page. Maybe this is no anomaly, but I'd like to understand this before we move forward. It would appear that using "REDIRECT  " to change the name of an article with pre-existing text will effectively function as delete? If so, that presents a problem here:


 * OLD TEXT -- Hōkoku-jinja:
 * The Hōkoku-jinja is the official tomb and shrine of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who died September 18, 1598 in Kyoto.


 * The shrine was demolished by Tokugawa Ieyasu in June 1615.


 * The Meiji Emperor directed that the shrine be restored in Keiō 4, the 6th day of the 6th month (April 28, 1868). At that time, the shrine area was expanded slightly by encompassing a small parcel of land which had been part of the adjacent Hōkō-ji.


 * In 1897, the tercentenary of Hideyoshi was celebrated at this site.




 * NEW TEXT -- Toyokuni Shrine:
 * Toyokuni Shrine (豊国神社) is a Shinto shrine located in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It was built in 1599 to commemorate Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It is the location of the first tamaya (an altar used in Shinto-style ancestor worship) ever constructed, which was later destroyed by Nobunaga Oda.

Paged moved and histories merged
I've moved Hōkoku-jinja to Toyokuni Shrine and merged the histories of the two articles. I've also restored the most current version of the article from before the move. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 05:16, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Aggghh
Turns out there's a bunch of shrines named Toyokuni or Hōkoku, some of which are interchangeable. Opened a real can of worms here :< I will now try to organize them all. AMorozov (talk) 08:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Update- I finished the disambiguation and redirecting pages. There may be a problem on this page though, I sense that some of the information from page merge (see above) may have actually been describing two different shrines.  As such, the current article we see may be a mix of erroneous info.  Since I do not have the cited resources on hand, I cannot check for certain.  If someone would like to revamp this article, that would be nice. AMorozov (talk) 09:53, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
