message: Hello there. I own and operate www.4q.cc, which is the original Chuck Norris Fact Generator (www.4q.cc/chuck). Since the article is locked, I kindly request an administrator or whoever that the link to www.chucknorrisfacts.com be removed as they have simply stolen my content and are promoting it without my permission. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.16.27.148 (talk • contribs) .
: From the "facts" article: Chuck Norris Facts were originally seen on IRC, and on websites like the Something Awful forums, in Spring 2005. While your site might be the original random fact generator, I don't think that the facts themselves are "owned" by anyone; it appears that they were a collaborative effort by anonymous and disparate individuals.  OhnoitsJamieTalk 19:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with OhnoitsJamieTalk.  4q.cc is just a bunch of quotes collected from other places. From this interview with Ian Spector of 4q, about his "generator" websites: "Although Ian Spector maintains the site, approximately 90% of the "facts" are contributed by visitors – most of whom are either college students or stuck in a cubicle ... The website was spawned from a discussion thread on the massively popular internet forum, SomethingAwful.com" www.upstagemagazine.com/articles/getarticle-new.php?ID=1549 Tomservo3000 03:52, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree with Ohnoitsjamie, however what site should be linked? Apparently the whois records of the sites show that 4q.cc was the original, so should it then be linked over the newer chucknorrisfacts.com? Still if it's essentially quotes copied from the somethingawful forums, then it probably just comes down to a matter of what site's easier and more helpful to the reader- probably what's listed right now, chucknorrisfacts.com. Ian's left me a message on my talk page and I told him we should keep the discussion here. Mrtea (talk) 07:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with Mrtea. It appears that the WHOIS "created date" of chucknorrisfacts.com may not be accurate. It is possible the chucknorrisfacts.com address was transferred from another domain registrar and the date was "reset".  If you check the WHOIS of a "copycat" site (chucknorrisfacts.net), it shows a created date several weeks "earlier" than chucknorrisfacts.com.  It doesn't seem logical that someone would register the .net over the .com address.

Sources about Bruce Lee humiliating Chuck Norris
The following story is Completely True:
At a demonstration in Long Beach, Norris met the soon to be famous Bruce Lee, who would ingrain Norris in martial arts history forever with his portrayal as Bruce Lee's nemesis in the Way of the Dragon. 
Sources for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Beach_International_Karate_Championships
www.netkushi.com/articles/chuck-norris.php
But while the two were publicly friendly, contrary to what many (including Norris himself) state, they were not close friends. Lee had repeatedly humiliated Norris during a mock sparring session in the hotel hallway at the Long Beach International Karate Championships in 1964. And Norris had offended Lee when he publicly claimed to be a better fighter than Lee. When word got back to Lee, he called Norris and openly challenged him, threatening to drive to his school to fight (Norris was teaching his black belt class at that time). According to eye witnesses, Lee made Norris hold the phone receiver up and shout in front of his black belts, "Bruce Lee is a better fighter than me!" Later, Norris wrote an Apologetic Letter to Lee; the original letter is currently in the care of Lee's student, Dan Inosanto. Dan Inosanto currently still owns the Letter of Apology that Chuck Norris wrote to Bruce Lee, which is in a Long Beach Dojo. Yet despite these conflicts, the two managed to set aside any differences in pursuit of their mutual film aspirations and develop a friendly public persona toward one another. www.classictvhits.com/cast.php?id=4420

message: I don't agree with the disambiguation header, as they're meant only for things with the same or confusingly very similar titles. Having it for Chuck Norris Facts is like having a dab header at Manhattan for Manhattan Murder Mystery. If more prominent link to the "facts" article is needed we should look at an elegant way of moving it up towards the beginning of the article. Dab headers liek this are a real stretch and a bad precedent. -R. fiend 03:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've once again semi-protected this, as the "Chuck Norris Facts" keep coming. Sorry Splash, but your claim that it's been protected long enough to deter simple vandalism just doesn't seem to be the case. I'm suspecting this will have to remain semi-protected until the Chuck Norris Facts fad dies down. -R. fiend 22:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There were only two incidences of vandalism in the three hours after Splash unprotected. That's nothing compared to the way it was before. I think we should unprotect, since protection is supposed to be used sparingly. This is hardly anything we can't deal with by reverting and blocking right now.--Alhutch 22:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Two in three hours is still quite a bit, and I didn't see any indication that it was about to improve. Established users can still edit the article, in fact, if you only need an account for 4 days, probably quite a few vandals can too. -R. fiend 22:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Take a look at the protection policy, if you would. It's only supposed to be used for persisent vandalism. Two in three hours is really not that persistent.

replies: text: Unless I'm mistaken, the three choices for protection allow for edits by: 1) admins only, 2) registered accounts at least 4 days old, or 3) anyone. I don't think there's a way to change it from 4 days to, say 2 weeks or anything (not without major changes that admins can't do). Option 2 gets rid of the anons (the worst offenders) but it doesn't take long for an account to age 4 days. I think semi-protection and blocking vandals (maybe even indefinitely in the cases where the account was made for the sole purpose of vandalism) is the way to go. -R. fiend 19:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Demotion to semi-protection 

message: The beginning of the section about his early career seems to imply that he has a black belt in Brazilian Ju Jitsu.  According to the official BJJ web site, www.bjj.org, chuck is a brown belt under Carlos Machado ( www.bjj.org/a/people/machado-carlos.html ).  This should be included, or reworded so a black belt is not implied.

replies: text: Not only that, but there -is- no black belt in Tang Soo Do, only midnight blue, as one progresses from the 'Gup's (A white belt is 10th Gup - Red Belt with two stripes is 1st Gup) to the 'Dan's (A newly tested-in Midnight Blue belt is 1st Dan. The founding Grandmaster, Hwang Kee, is 9th). It sounds trivial, but one of the reasons Master Kee chose the color blue was because of the symbolism behind it (not only the autumn of one's life, but also the calm, inner peace of one who has truly mastered martial arts). He felt that Black not only represented death, but also perfection, and so shunned said color. Since merely mentioning that I am a 4th gup does not satisfy, here's a link to the Tang Soo Do Education Area: www.tsdmgk.com/educationpage.htm#BeltRankingSystem .

Back in Norris' tournament days, he was noted for throwing rapid punch combinations (known as the "blitz punch") in a time when most competitors relied on single-shot power attacks. While he did like the head-high roundhouse in movies because it's flashy, it's not what he used in tournaments - head kicks are too easily blocked.

message: I was at Liberty University this past weekend when he gave the commencement speech, which was absolutely epic, anyway, Falwell Jr. gave him an honorary doctorate, so he's now Doctor Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris. I think that's worth mentioning. This is exactly what Liberty University's web page said:
"LU Chancellor and President Jerry Falwell Jr. said this was a first for LU: “Today is historic because it is the first commencement address at Liberty that will be delivered in cowboy boots.”
Carlos Ray Norris, who is most known for his good-guy role defending justice on TV’s Walker, Texas Ranger, then received an honorary degree, Doctorate of Humanities, from Liberty."

Could you also edit out "the" in the section on Norris sending a letter to Obama not to follow other presidents.  It seems to indicate all other presidents supported the pro-abortion stance of Clinton and Obama.  This is not the case.

message: The article states that Norris believes in creation.  It is therefore unnecessary, IMHO, to state that he doesn't believe in evolution.

IDists recognise that the theory of Evolution is a hoax but do not ascribe the design to God, merely a "higher intelligence".

message: I've corrected this statement per the first citation in the section from 1997 to 1990:
"In 1990 I was honored with another milestone by being the first man ever in the Western Hemisphere to be awarded an 8th degree Black Belt Grand Master recognition in the Tae Kwon Do system." 
I've also removed the statement that Sell and Sereff achieved theirs first:
Edward B. Sell: 1991 - 8th Degree Black Belt certified by the World Taekwondo Federation (Kukkiwon).
C.E. Sereff: It takes 30 years to achieve the distinction of 8th Dan Black Belt. Master C.E. "Chuck" Sereff reached this goal in 1990, a few years short of his 60th birthday.

replies: text:  GM Sells received 8th dan in Chung Do Kwan, a system of TKD which was one of the original "kwans" or "schools" of TKD in 1987.
Furthermore, it is interesting how the date has changed in Chuck Norris's biography. In earlier versions it was claimed he was awarded the 8th Dan in 1997, both on his (now amended) website and this one, run by his friend Bob Wall http://www.worldblackbelt.com/Founding_Members/Norris_Chuck.asp (83.16.188.58 (talk) 08:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I contacted Bob Wall, who runs the site, and he says Chuck Norris received 8th dans from 2 different associations; one in 1990 and one in 1997. The latter was ITF. I assume that General Choi, who considered himself the founder of TKD, would never have recognised a non-ITF grade (such as WTF), so Charles Sereff would have been the first from an ITF point of view. The question is, whether Chuck received his before Mr Sereff (as I assume Kukkiwon wouldn't acknowledge an ITF grade either) (79.190.69.141 (talk) 09:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Under "his politics", the sentence that says he is "against public schools protecting LGBT students from bullying through anti-bullying policies, and is opposed to LGBT rights in general" is not supported by the article that is the cited reference. That article does not mention bullying at all, and his quoted phrasing is that he is against schools promoting homosexuality. Just seems that it's simpler just to say what the article says than to turn it into an interpretation, or if there is any interpreting to be done it would be to "de-interpret" his interpretation, for example perhaps he "joined the call to label a Day of Silence as pro gay" if it perhaps was something else. He also points out in the article a barbaric punishment for sexual deviance that he claims Thomas Jefferson advocated... does the Thomas Jefferson article contain this information? it seems a more interesting fact overall, but part of a different agenda than the one apparent in the wiki article.
Also the opening sentence of that section that he advocates what the Republican party advocates is pretty lame; is a similar phrase added to every article about every political partisan? 96.224.32.111 (talk) 21:25, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

text: *I think the acting career section could look a bit more like this...
Chuck Norris made his film debut in the 1968 film The Wrecking Crew. However, Norris made more of an impact on movie-goers in Return of the Dragon (1973). The film’s highlight was the fight scene between Norris and martial arts action star Bruce Lee. Chuck Norris earned his first starring role in the film Breaker! Breaker! (1977). Norris box office ratings increased with subsequent films such as The Octagon (1980), An Eye for an Eye (1981), and Lone Wolf McQuade (1983).
Norris reached his professional apex in Missing in Action (1984) where Norris played Colonel James Braddock, a former prisoner of war who returns to Vietnam to free other soldiers still being held. He did this film and its sequels, Missing in Action II-the Beginning (1985) and Braddock: Missing in Action III (1988), as a tribute to his younger brother Wieland who dies in combat in Vietnam. Norris received good reviews for the film Code of Silence (1985), teamed up with the legendary action star Lee Marvin for the action film The Delta Force (1986), and even lent his name and voice to a brief TV cartoon series titled Chuck Norris’ Karate Kommandos.
By the 1990’s Cannon Films were no longer prominent and Norris’ movie appeal had seemed to fade. Delta Force II: Operation Stranglehold (1990) failed to assist Norris’ appeal. Norris was in his forties and was receiving heavy competition from younger actors muscling in on action movie roles. Keeping this in mind, Norris took on roles such as the mean blood-thirsty character in Hitman (1991), to playing himself as a coach to a young fan in Sidekicks (1993). None of these films improved his reputation, so Norris decided that perhaps television was the answer.
In 2003 Chuck Norris returned to films once more, often with his brother Aaron directing him. He had starring roles in films such as Bells of Innocence (2003), The Cutter (2005), and The Contender (2005). In 2012 he joined the cast of The Expendables 2, teaming up with other masters of 80s action films such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis.
Also, Chuck Norris is, in fact. immortal and does not bleed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.245.136.183 (talk) 23:14, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
