Talk:Yamabito

It's Yamabito not Yama-bito
I hope some useful Administrator is out there, somewhere, reading this. I have no technical skills to retrace the steps and find out why we're using the term "Yama-bito" which is both archaic (meaning "out of date" for those edited this, since I can't find any reference before 1890 that spells it that way) and far too hyphenated, but ... as someone who just wrote an entire article on the subject, it's just plain wrong. It's like trying to claim that the word Appa-lachian is the correct usage of Appalachian because some 12 year old read a story once where the people from Kentucky were all shape-shifting demons. If anyone actually bothered to crack open a book on Japanese history (and not Japanese manga, which I do understand certain editors confuse which is actually fiction) you'd see there are countless articles on the subject, at least 563 on Google Books alone, none of which have a hyphen.
