thread_title: Martial arts category for Wikipedians

message: At first I smiled and then, like a bad after taste, got bothered by the entry.  What can I say I take my martial arts seriously.  Cute but not a martial art.  I think it should be removed or should the list be wide open.  Perhaps a fantasy section?  Any comments?Peter Rehse 02:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that would be better. We could remove it and put them with the Jedi knights! --Fire Star 21:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: DWN-Infinity (∞)

thread_title:  Can we include Bata? 

message: So, where are the list of Okinawan martial arts? I wouldn't suggest adding them under Japanese martial arts, as that denies the historical significance of them, as means for the Okinawan people to fight the occupying Japanese Army without weapons (which were outlawed by said army). -Darryl Hamlin 16:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Another gray area comes from the fact that Okinawa is currently a prefecture of Japan. Styles are usually listed (on conventional websites) by the country which currently occupies the area (for example, if in theory there were a martial art developed in Khazaria, you wouldn't say it was founded in such, but in Russia, with a footnote saying it was founded in Khazaria before it became part of Russia.

thread_title: A missing (entirely) category

message: This catagory should be merged with Category: Wikipedian martial artists or vice versa. one list and set of subcatagories rather then two. Clearly defineing who is a martial artist and who is just interested in martial arts with the Category:Wikipedians_interested_in_martial_arts and either the Category:Wikipedian martial artists or Category:Wikipedians by martial art rather then both  photodude 08:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  merge catagories 

message: I think that that particular category is missing, but I don't know how to add it. Chingchuanchiu 21:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Indonesian Martial Arts

message: I edited the first few comments so that they're under "Martial arts category for Wikipedians" so as not to hide contents.
I also alphabetized Tae Kwon Do practitioners. I'm sorry if I inadvertently left someone out.  Quietmartialartist 20:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: First few comments edit

message: A fighting style that you personally train of or is attributed to yourself is welcome here. However, if you add a article about it and it is found to be not notable, it may be deleted. That's it, and remember, if a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it. Ellomate (talk) 08:33, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
