Anyway, the reason I'm writing is that there is a huge problem with the articles on Chinese martial arts. There are several articles that it would be nice to be able to merge. Unfortunately things have grown up willy-nilly and a logjam has developed.  Before anyone could remove even two logs and send them down the river, someone else would jam them back in, metaphorically speaking of course.
The main problem is that there is an umbrella concept, or maybe I should say a tent concept, wu3 shu4, which means "martial arts."  It's been around a long time as a term under which to subsume weapons systems, non-weapons systems, etc., etc.  Unfortunately, in mainland China somebody decided to call a fancified version derived from Chinese opera presentations "wu shu."  So there is a development of very little importance to actual self defense getting confused with the whole class of martial arts.
It will take quite a lot of work and cooperation to outline the components in this rather large field, so I would like to start a project on "Wǔ Yì" (the "senior" dictionary synonym for wu shu), take my book in Chinese on the whole field as a model and an authority, and start straightening things out. How do I get started?
Thanks,

message: As per WP:MOS - Japanese-related articles, macrons are now allowed in article titles. I believe it is about time that we begin to place macrons everywhere they are appropriate. I have done some of this work myself, and have placed similar notices on other WikiProjects pages in order to recruit some help. I invite and encourage all of you to help in this grand scale project. As it pertains to martial arts, all mentions of "-ryu", in content, wikilinks, and article titles needs to be changed to "-ryū"; there are a number of other places that macrons belong as well. Thank you for your help. LordAmeth 18:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There appears to be a bot going round articles and fixing Macrons within them - Bluebot - maybe it's worth contacting the owner and asking for a report on articles that were updated in this fashion?  These would be a good first candidate list for moving the articles to macron-ised titles. -- Medains 08:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
