[edit] Accurate Dates?
This article opens by mentioning the Japanese castaway Dembei, and asserting the dates of 1701 or 1702 - However, the article on Dembei himself asserts the dates "1601 or 1602". Which is correct? - Tenmiles 01:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- It's 1701/1702 for sure. Vladimir Atlasov was not yet born to drag him back to Moscow in 1601, the sakoku policy hadn't yet been implemented at that time, etc. See Lensen, "The Russian Push Toward Japan: Russo-Japanese Relations, 1697-1895" (cited at end). Some anon just vandalised the page to say 1601/1602, so I reverted him. cab 02:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
