Someone split off a new article:

The author, Godfrey Daniel, seems to know what he's talking about. I
wonder how long he'll last on Wikipedia. Two months at most?

I see nothing that needs editing, but are you suggesting that some kooks
will edit the article out of existence?

My records indicate that Charles Beckwith never took a course from me,
but (or should I say "proving") he was a pretty bright guy. I don't
know how he ever came up the the Chinese-Japanese hypothesis. But I
once owned the published form of a Tokyo U. dissertation demonstrating
the relationship!
