Article not accurate
Wa (倭) and Wa (和) are the same thing, except with a character switch due to "dwarf" connotations involving the first character. The origin of Wa does not mean as the article writes "peace and harmony." It is simply the name of the ancient Japanese kingdom and people(s). 和 (character for harmony) is merely a phonetic substitute character. See article Wa (Japan). Request this article and the one linked to be merged. They are the same concept and term. 128.135.121.91 03:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That article doesn't discuss the "harmony" definition at all, and left me very confused. The disambiguation page for Wa still introduces the word as two seperate concepts, which is how I learned it. This merger is frustrating. Arzachel 21:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
