Talk:Wrestling/Archive 2

message: Because wrestling is such a general term, the wrestling article has become some what random and without scope.  I am proposing three three sections; 
: 1 An introduction to the definition of the word wrestling and origin of the word (pre-1100) 
: 2 A brief synopsis\history of 'wrestling' prior to the inception of the word in Old English (greeks, Israel et al...)
: 3 Create a table containing all the current wrestling sub-groups and hyperlinks to their respective wikipedia articles (this effort should greatly sharpen the scope of the wrestling article).
Potential Wrestilng Sub-Groups

:::	Greco-Roman International
:::	Judo International \\ Japan
:::	Sambo International \\ Russia

thread_title:  New Direction 

message: I question whether this topic deserves it's own section in the wrestling article.  Most of the information intersection of wrestling and military training should reside in the military training article.  It would still be worth noting here in the 'wrestling in history' section that historically wrestling has played a part in military training.   Penciljunk 15:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I agree. A short mention in the history section will be enough. --BorgQueen 01:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrestling in Military Training 

message: This section(s) should be moved to it's particular folk wrestling folder.  Such as Mongolian wrestling is Mongolia, collegiate wrestling in the United States and luche livre in Brazil.  Penciljunk 15:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Geographical Popularity 

message: I have done as much of significant updating as I can for now.  The article has a much more narrower scope with applicable links to the sub-categories that were previous cluttering up the article.  Penciljunk 00:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update Status 

message: Although I wrote the following line in the intro, I am really not happy with it.  It needs some work.
"As Cultures strived to survive, wrestling became an intrinsic part of many cultures as a practical form of self-defense and military training."  Penciljunk 01:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction 

message: "Some popular disciplines which can be considered wrestling styles today are collegiate wrestling, sambo, brazilian jiu-jitsu, sumo wrestling, judo, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling."
Wrestling varieties are already covered lower in the page. Improper style, including lack of capitalization of proper names. Feels out of place in the intro.
I would like to remove this section in a few days if no one has objections.FlowWTG 00:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Makes sense to me. Another thought. Perhaps this page should be semi-protected? It seems as if daily, one needs to go in and revert stuff added by anonymous posters. Joseph Svinth 01:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
