Talk:Shagrat (band)

message: Steve Took information pages are written by Fee Warner who is the web mistress for www.Steve-Took.co.uk. Steve Took died in 1980 and his contribution to music has been significantly and systematically overlooked and dismissed for years. The aim of the web site is to show that although he is written off as a 'talentless loser' by many Bolan people he was far from talentless and commercial success is not the only type of success.
:Ok. The above was posted by IP 80.3.64.7, which resolves to cache4-brtn.server.ntli.net, belonging to ntlworld.com. The e-mail address given at http://www.steve-took.co.uk/ for Fee ends in @ntlworld.com. I guess we can believe the statement above and assume Fee authorizes re-licensing of her text under the GFDL.

Talk:Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū

message: I'm not sure some of the statements made in this article are historically accurate.  For example, claiming that the sword was the main weapon of the era.  I believe in the 1400s the main weapon was in fact NOT the sword, it was in the spear (yari) and likely the bow.  The sword did not become a "main" weapon until the Edo period after 1600, I think. 
Also, claiming that the bushi couldn't raise swords above their heads due to their kabuto?  That strikes me as odd.  I'd like to see real citations for that.  I could be wrong but I think that's very unlikely. Kazrian (talk) 06:30, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Questioning the historical accuracy of some statements 

message: An anonymous user from IP 221.186.89.65 has been adding the following daily in the last few weeks:
"The current, twentieth generation headmaster, is Iizasa Yasusada (飯篠 修理亮 快貞 Iizasa Shūri-no-suke Yasusada). He does not teach his family's system and had instead appointed as his main representative instructor Risuke Ōtake who has a personal dojo close to Narita City. Upon Ōtake Risuke's retirement, he appointed his eldest son Nobutoshi as shihan, with his younger son Shigetoshi, to serve as shihan-dai. Kyōsō Shigetoshi was appointed shihan in September 2017."
Otake Risuke does not have the authority to appoint shihan. The source does not say that he made the appointment, nor does it state anything whatsoever about Kyoso Shigetoshi. We can only assume that the brothers' appointments came from the soke, unless some source states otherwise. The term "shihan-dai" is not mentioned in any English language sources, not is 師範代 mentioned in the Japanese version of https://www.katorishintoryu.jp/denjutaikei. Both brothers had been listed as shihan in past publications and previous iterations of the website, before Shigetoshi broke away from the Shimbukan.
The user has also been quietly removing reference to Otake Nobutoshi's hamon. This was announced publicly on the soke's website as "Important Message" (see http://katori-shintoryu.jp/en/important-message/) and has been a matter of public interest, albeit not a pleasant one for the Otake family and the Shimbukan, that has generated quite a few questions in the koryu community. Removing this information seems politically motivated. 
This user recently wrote in the Edit Summary: "Around 6mths prior to Otake Risuke's retirement as shihan, he announced his retirement to the students and expressed that he wished for his son Nobutoshi to replace him and for Shigetoshi to support him as shihan-dai. A member of the Iizasa family was also present in the shinbukan for this." While I have heard similar information through word-of-mouth, the information does not appear in any source here, and certainly not in the source the user cites. 
Please keep the article objective and factual.

Talk:Tod H. Mikuriya

message: Update: Tod Mikuriya passed away this morning, I will update his article to reflect this when I get a chance to think about what to say... 5/20/2007
Sorry, no more time to work on this now. I was starting to write something like this:
:Mikuriya's controversial views have occasionally brought him into conflict with authorities. In 1996, California's Proposition 215 passed, apparently legalizing marijuana for some medical uss in California (for the complex legal issues, see Medical marijuana). Following passage, Mikuriya approved and monitored its use by more than 7,000 patients, most of them seen at ad hoc clinics arranged by cannabis clubs in rural counties. Mikuriya's practice is particularly controversial because many California doctors who approve cannabis do so only for terminal conditions; Mikuriya has approved it to alleviate physical or emotional pain.) ...
In 2003 and 2004 he was apparently charged by the California medical board of failing to follow proper standards of care in 17 cases and was in danger of losing his license. There's quite a bit of this about this on the Net but I still haven't found out how it all turned out! Does anyone have a) a succinct description of the whole story, and one that is preferably not exclusively based on accounts from the pro-marijuana-legalization organizations?

text: This is tricky: in some ways I like the idea of all pages appearing in the overall category, with the subcats allowing a filtering down: ideally this would be a (future software) "view everything in all subcategories" option. Given The aim that articles can be hidden in subcategories unless wanted, some pages can appeal to differing interests. Prehistoric sites sort of fit into History of Scotland, but this could get cluttered. A new Prehistoric Scotland category would be an option, but if this is  a sub-sub-category of History they could also appear in a Things to visit in Scotland category, or perhaps better something that covers Historic and prehistoric sites and buildings. There's already castles, so maybe more subcategories of Scotland would work well. Another interest is steamers: some pages are clearly history, some are also modern visitor attractions.

message: After looking into it more (and in line with some of the comments here), I think the absence of a general Work article might be a large gap in the encyclopedia.
