The article states that the Emperor may have been poisoned by the anti Bakufu clique. What confuses me about that is, why would the anti-Bakufu clique have poisoned the Emperor, when the Emperor was anti-Bakufu as well? Also, there's no source. I'm not going to change anything, but hopefully someone can offer some insight into this. Worldruler20 ( talk) 05:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
The gremlins seem to have been at this again, as the article said (quite implausibly) that the emperor had been deliberately infected with smallpox, again by anti-bakufu revolutionaries. (Yes, he did oppose them.) But the cited source (whose title was given incorrectly) says something altogether different. Indeed, after looking through a number of standard sources I have yet to find any that support such an allegation. I've changed the entry to say that while there were rumors of assassination the consensus is that he died of naturally acquired infection. I've also corrected the reference and added another. (I could add four or five more, if it served any purpose, but I've stuck with what seems like the strongest and most standard.) I wonder how long it will remain correct.

Talk:Emperor Kōmei:
The Emperor's younger sister, Imperial princess Kazu-no-Miya Chikako (和宮親子内親王) was set to marry the Tokugawa shogun Tokugawa Iemochi as part of the Movement to Unite Court and Bakufu, but the shogun's death ended negotiations.
Something is wrong here, Iemochi and Kazunomiya did indeed marry. -- Mkill ( talk) 10:00, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
