Talk:Rhee Taekwon-Do/Archive 1

message: I wrote this article partly from various regional websites for Rhee Taekwon-Do, and partly from my own experience in the school BryanJones
This looks like an advertisement for the school.  Could someone with expertise in TKD fix it? ZacharyS 03:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have revised this article significantly to make it more neutral, and have moved all of the membership booklet text to a discrete section near the end of the article. Janggeom 15:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I have expanded the Criticisms section of this article. Due to the subjective nature of such a topic, balancing positive and negative aspects will take some effort and revision, so bear in mind that this is a work in progress. In writing this section, I think it is important to remember that we are writing about real people (Master Rhee, his brothers, and Rhee Taekwon-Do instructors, as well as ex-Rhee Taekwon-Do instructors) and so anything negative needs to be worded carefully to avoid libel issues. Likewise, anything positive should be worded carefully to avoid becoming hagiographic, as noted by an anonymous contributor below. I am planning to check on Wikipedia's guidelines regarding quoting large portions of a copyright work (in this case, the Rhee Taekwon-Do membership booklet); it might be that this section should be deleted from this article, but in any case, my opinion is that quoting a large portion of another work adds little—better to take the facts and summarise them for the reader.

text: I have removed large sections of the article (mostly from my own additions) to help make the article more neutral in tone, and also to remove most of the information that might be considered unverifiable (or unverified) or contestable. Thanks to those contributors who have provided feedback recently in the form of tags. Janggeom 06:58, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I have added references to several ex-Rhee Taekwon-Do members or instructors who are now either heads of their own martial art schools (the majority) or instructors in other martial art schools. Janggeom 16:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I have finished a complete overhaul of the article. It should now be in a neutral, yet informative and authoritative, state. I have added more than 20 independent (non-Rhee Taekwon-Do source) references in doing so. Janggeom 17:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The article's content seems to have stabilised after major revisions (June 2007), and—as far as I can see—there are no remaining NPOV issues. Assuming no major content changes, I will be removing the NPOV tag in due course. Janggeom 06:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The reason for the rimoval of the titles can be found in the manual of style here: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)#Honorific_prefixes. Hope that clarifies things. --Nate1481(t/c) 08:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies if I missed some, was doing with find & replace & trying not to remove the word 'master' where it was used as a description. --Nate1481(t/c) 15:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
