It's no problem! We haven't talked about the series or what we want to add/change on the wiki in a very long time. And we haven't had a Daimyo Kai in years either, so keep 'em coming! :) I've had many thoughts about the wiki pop into my head over the past few months and years.

Wow, great stuff here. The date is never explicitly stated in the series, so we would have to make inferences based on what information we do have. And it seems that the only times real-world time periods are referenced are, as you put, the fact that Oda Nobunaga definitely lived during this period, and was a teenager, and the context clues about the introduction of the matchlock gun. Wow, that's a great find regarding the matchlock gun, it's a line in the series that I barely even notice. And I agree with you in regards to InuYasha liking nice, round numbers like 50 years and such, so 450 would fit that. I can't imagine that Kagome went back 446 years and 7 months or something.

So yeah, I'm completely on board with us establishing that the series takes place "circa 1547", which is merely an educated guess based on the information the series has provided us. We can even include that it's likely somewhere between the years of 1547-1553 as you said, just to cover all bases.
