Sorry if I'm wasting anyone's time, but I don't know enough Japanese to check this properly, and the contributor's track record doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 07:25, 28 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not even wrong -- no such word exists by my ken or references. Nuked on sight. And thanks for blocking this clown. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 08:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. It just looked fishy, and I wasn't finding anything in online references, but I can't really tell the difference between coincidental juxtapositions of letters and actual words in Japanese, so I couldn't rule it out in searches. Chuck Entz (talk) 12:49, 28 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
The creator must have meant 宮司 (ぐうじ). — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 12:56, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
That sounds about right for this person. They seem to make a lot of stuff up based on guessing about things they encounter in manga and anime fan sites. I can only guess at the damage they've done to a great deal of our coverage on Shinto and Japanese Buddhism, but based on what I've seen reverted or deleted, I suspect there has to be tons of misinformation that's slipped through because we have so few patrollers that know anything on the subject.

  • Thank you, Shinji. I didn't think to look for the dakuon version.
(FWIW, even then the anon was wrong by my references -- should have been priest, not priestess.) ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 18:39, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
