message: === Wikipedia is not a business directory ===
Please see the note posted on the "External links" sections of other martial arts pages:
Wikipedia isn't a link farm. A link should be here if it provides significant new info, not simply to promote business. Please don't add links to individual schools.
=== Wikipedia is not a remembrance book ===
The piety and respect with which you regard your martial ancestors does you credit.
However, Wikipedia is NOT an appropriate place to express that.
For example, the use of first-person pronouns such as "I", "me", "my", "we", "us", or "our" is not consistent with a neutral point of view.
For example, "(1926-still with us)" is not acceptable; "(1926-present)" is.
Also, unless it's a quotation, no sentence that begins "My great-great-grandfather" should ever appear in a Wikipedia article, as in "My great-great-grandfather passed this art onto his sons, Koon Pak and Si Long (also known as On Pak)." Besides, it strongly suggests that the sentence is someone else's possibly copyrighted content.
The External Links and biographies of various masters swelled the size of this article to more than double the recommended 32kb.
Accordingly, the external links section has been cleared, as has been done in other martial arts articles where the external links section got out of hand due to abuse as business advertising and the biographies of individual masters have been broken out into individual articles.

thread_title:  Wikipedia is not a remembrance book 

message: Greetings, Do Pi Kung Fu was propsed for deletion on grounds of notability. As it seems to be an off-shoot or at least related to Choy Lee Fut, I am wondering if it could be incorporated into this article rather than deleted altogether... --Mista-X 03:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: What does "Choi Lei Fat" mean?
:The name was created by Chan Heung to honor the masters who trained him. Choi from Choi Fook, Lei from Lei Yau San and Fut (Meaning Buddha) in honor of the Shaolin teachings of his uncle Chan Yuen Woo. He chose Fut instead of Chan (supposedly) so that the name of the style would not appear to be named after himself. --Radiofreejohn (talk) 19:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning 

message: History of Choy Li Fut...
The authoritative history of Choy Li Fut should come from someone who has officially been entrusted with the Chan Heung scripts.  I believe this to be Grandmaster Doc Fai Wong in San Francisco.  There has been too many 'editors' of this page with partial or inaccurate histories.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huo Xin (talk • contribs) 18:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs rework 

message: The Jeong Yim story sounds very similar to Huo Yuanjia's story.  It needs to be validated.

thread_title:  Jeong Yim section sounds similar to Huo Yuanjia 

message: section is unverifiable, no documentation, information provided is extracted from a known fictional story named, "Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon" written by Nim Fut San Yen; information contradicts known documentation of the life of Chan Heung as written in the Chan Family Manuscripts which documents the studies of the founder of Cailifo, Chan Heung. The documentation shows that Chan Din-Foon was the student of Chan Heung who started the Hung Sing kwoon in Fut San sometime around 1847 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clftruthseeking (talk • contribs) 2009-06-16 22:17:28

thread_title:  Original research 

message: I believe that there are more Choi Lei Fut masters all around the world, as well as from different branches.  Don't you think this section is a bit biased?  Should the Buk Sing masters be listed under the Buk Sing Branch?  Huo Xin (talk) 19:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current Masters of Choi Lei Fut 

message: There doesn't seem to be much factual evidence to support this section. I am trying to find some concrete evidence, but most of the information seems to be from original research and not published research. Huo Xin (talk) 17:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jeong Yim section needs verification 

message: I think the maintainers of the page has not done a good job of improving this entry.  I suggest a quick deletion and redoing of this page. Huo Xin (talk) 18:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
