Should we gut most of the content here and just link to "hokkaido", which is more up to date?--Mishac 20:22, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Unless the 1911 source is stated at the top I would say yes, gut it. The article even refers to "Formosa" (i.e. Taiwan) as one of the islands of Japan. -- 81.132.41.249 12:48, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
That was true in 1911. It is no longer useful, perhaps, to have Hokkaido called Ezo/Yezo.

The only relevance of (Y)ezo is that it is an antiquated term once used to reference the island now known as Hokkaido and the people now known as Ainu, both of which have current and accurate articles. Therefore I have "gutted" all content from (Y)ezo except for the portion explaining the history of the term and linking it to the more modern content.
