Thanks. Sorry about my jumping in with trimming; it's worth keeping things as succinct as possible. I've aligned the 河内 entry.

Thank you for your feedback. I will continue to add the remaining 旧国名 over the course of a few days (it’s 73 of them in total, maybe a bit overwhelming 
to add at once. This excludes another 10+ entities that existed on the island of Hokkaido that I might look into later).
I have noticed you efficiently trimmed some of the definitions (e.g. “the eastern part” to simply “the east”). I agree with this policy, but shouldn’t we then do 
the same for all words? For example, for 加賀 “the southern part” was trimmed to “the south”, but for 河内 “the eastern part” was accepted without 
trimming.

I think this is sufficient and appropriate. Removing the locations would make it a bit 
limited. Daijirin mentions it's an abbreviation, but I wouldn't go that far.
I wondered about a tag such as hist, but it's not necessary or appropriate.

@Jim Breen; I have understood your comment 
regarding forks. My apologies. I have added 10 new 
旧国名 for now. I will continue adding the rest as 
soon as I get a positive response.
While doing research, I found out that only some 旧
国名 correspond 100% with currently existing 
prefectures (such as Tosa=Kochi and Kai=Yamanashi). 
Most former provinces consist of only one half of a 
currently existing prefecture, or overlap multiple. 
This is why, if applicable, I have tried to mention 
the location of the former province as thorougly as 
possible (e.g. Kawachi (former province located in 
the eastern part of present-day Osaka Prefecture)). 
At the same time this is a dictionary and not an 
encyclopedia, so please let me know if you think 
this is too wordy.
