Ron, 

You are incorrect in theory that explaining the Shotokan/Karate relevance of common terms constitutes ""dictionary definitions"". Rather, what is there already, below what I am trying to add, are the dictionary definitions.
However, I cannot stick to adding to the table because the entries on which I have knowledge are linked well enough. I only wish that *you* would add some Karate explanation for osu and some of the unlinked terms by adding that table column or using a footnote or two if there are only a couple of unlinked terms, and not be so terse.

I've rebutted your ""pov"" argument by pointing out that I am adding no pov; everything is fact, as originally supplied by you yourself and Matt. You are just repeating yourself, I'm afraid, and you do not have a valid rebuttal to my point that clarifying notes, containing *facts only*, are useful in an encyclopedia.  

Matt,

I am not putting any myth in the article; I am only putting debunking of it.

There is a lot of hearsay about Karate, and it's important to put in what is *not* true, or someone else may come along with a feeling of certainty, and change it again. A note preempts this.

This is a good point, so I'll put it in ""full caps"" (I do not intend to ""shout"", please understand, but it's a good idea to catch the eye with this:)
