Talk:Ed Parker

message: Okay, I looked at your link and I see the similarities. Unfotunantly, I wrote that article a few years ago and it's quite possible that it was taken from my site at http://www.kenpothoughts.com Then again it's so long ago, I don't recall who took what. Anyway, I'll rewrite it.
:I compared the article with the web site and gathered that the same person likely wrote both even before reading this talk page. Not a copyright violation regardless. - Tεxτurε 23:17, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

message: how do I go about nominating this for deletion,since it is just an advetisment? All links are to advertisments for his students schools.
:See WP:AFD for this. I doubt that this will meet the criteria for deletion--he's clearly notable. JJL 03:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deletion 

message: I removed the list of books as it was starting to look like a sales catalogue. Are there any references that could link to a list of books rather than having all of them? --Nate1481( t/c) 14:33, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: And I added the Bibliography back. One of Ed Parker's most significant contributions to Martial Arts is that he did try to document his system in a series of books. In addition to his own system, the Secrets of Chinese Karate covers Chinese martial arts in general. 
Seeing that the publications of these books constitutes a major part of Parker's lifetime work, it is inconsistent to omit the bibliography when all other authors (e.g. Mark Twain) have their books listed. Vantelimus (talk) 21:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: That section of the article is just horrible. It isn't objective, it makes no sense and isn't true. I haven't been and won't be doing any research on Jr, but he seems to have some connection to the martial arts. Also, describing his drawing skills as "amazing" twice is pretty unnecessary. I really don't wanna change it cos i'm lazy and it's late for me now so... yeah. Thanks. Hobbes007450 (talk) 10:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
