Talk:Donn F. Draeger

message: With all due respect, is it appropiate to provide a public link to Mr. Draeger's grave?  In most cultures only friends and family visit the grave of someone deceased.  I'll wait a several weeks before removing the link.

replies: text: On Wikipedia talk pages, it is considered appropriate to sign entries using either a) your real name or b) a user name that links directly to your Wikipedia talk page or personal home page. As for Draeger's burial site, I supect that it was mentioned because the grave site was the subject of a published article some years back, namely H. Richard Friman, "Donald F. Draeger's Wisconsin Grave", Journal of Asian Martial Arts, 8:3 (1999). (NOTE: For the burial site of anyone buried in a VA cemetery, see the VA database, http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1.) As for what most cultures do, please provide your source. Specifically, is your statement based upon peer-reviewed sociological or anthropological evidence, or is it something you just made up? Joseph Svinth (talk) 04:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

text: The photo of the gravestone is also already public. It is published on the official site of Kaminoda Tsunemori Sensei who trained Shinto Muso Ryu with Draeger. The photo is attached to an article describing Kaminoda Sensei paying his respects to Draeger. I've lost the link to the site unfortunetely. Fred26 (talk) 07:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found the link: You can see Kaminoda Sensei kneeling in front of the gravestone.  Fred26 (talk) 07:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In spite of your encyclopedic knowledge of most cultures, you are wrong, and it is appropriate.  That's why Arlington Cemetary provides a directory.  Also, there's a little thing called the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier, perhaps you've heard of it? Edgar Alan Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, any of these ringing a bell? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.77.67 (talk) 14:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I havent browsed the naming policy of Wiki lately, but shouldn't this article be named "Donald Draeger" instead of "Donn"? Even if it were used more frequently than his name. "Donn" was just his nickname right? Fred26 (talk) 11:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Bradford44 demoted this article from B to C with the comment 'does not meet the six criteria for B'. Does anyone notice exactly which criteria are not met? jmcw (talk) 18:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is this article rated C? 

message: Currently there are 6 references and 3 are to the same article "Nurse, Paul (May. 2006). "Donn F. Draeger: The Life and times of an American Martial Arts Pioneer". Black Belt Magazine (Rainbow Publications, Inc.) "  So there is actually just the reference to this article, a reference to a Draeger Dojo and a couple of more references. It seems that of all the references that might be out there only one is used in the article. Also the article seems to be more a fan size than an encyclopedic reference. --Crio de la Paz (talk) 04:55, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this definitely reads as a fan page.JoelWhy (talk) 13:36, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
