Hōkoku-ji

... that a bamboo grove marks the spot in Hōkoku-ji where Butsujo Zenji wrote poetry?

Hook: Interesting, short enough, referenced.

Article: New enough, long enough. What makes Must Love Japan a reliable source? Where are the access dates for the Kamakura Today reference? Why do you italicize Zenji, but the sources don't? Paraphrasing check against this source seems okay.

Summary:

Couple of referencing issues, and a prose question. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:46, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Zenji is a foreign (to English) word and so ~~capitalized~~ italicized MOS:Ety on Wikipedia. We can't influence the style guide for the source.
Kamakura Today ref is fixed, thanks.
MustLove was included because it is in English (and I don't know Japanese) and because it has identifiable creators. I swapped it out.

Thanks, Crisco 1492, for the review. -SusanLesch (talk) 16:18, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Although Zen master may not be the most exact term, for the hook it could draw more readers, so something like ALT1 ... that a bamboo grove (pictured) marks the spot in Hōkoku-ji where the Zen master Butsujo wrote poetry? Also, since Zenji is a title/honorific, I'd suggest putting it before the word. I don't think it needs to be capitalised, as a title; look at our articles for raja, frau, and Kahuna. AGF on reliability of the new sources. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:42, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 is fine with me. (Yes, "Zen master" can come first in a name, but no "Zenji" can't.) -SusanLesch (talk) 15:06, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Alright, ALT1 looks good. Not sure on the italicisation, but not a DYK criteria Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

After the fact, correcting my bad confusion. Reviewer apparently understood I meant "italicized" above. Thank heavens not a DYK requirement to get that right. -SusanLesch (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
