I noticed something on your user page that could be done more efficiently. Instead of mentioning all languages you know and how well you know them in a separate paragraph, you could also use the Wikipedia:Babel function. In your case, you'd need this code, I think. Fyrius 16:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I see you have tagged yourelf with a {{la-4}} template. Would you like to help us by translating into latin any of the official polices or help pages of Wikipedia? —Argentino (talk/cont.) 20:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hapkido

The user from IP 211.131.245.114 has made some edits that bring up the question of Hapkido's origins. These edits seem to say that Hapkido is "exported aikido", which might be controversial. I have heard that there is some connection with Daito-ryu, but that it is not clearly documented.

I suggest reverting to "the Korean art called Hapkido", because it is a Korean art. However, 211.131.245.114 may have a point: perhaps we should add a sentence about its probable Japanese origins.

Thoughts? --GenkiNeko 15:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hapukido has not received correct succession of Takeda Sokaku. Therefore, I think that I should remove the description concerning Hapukido. Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu is thought to be one of the roots of Aikido. However, Hapukido doesn't influence Aikido at all. These two Marshall arts should not be equally treated. --211.131.245.114 16:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps it is not a "correct" continuation of Daito-ryu, if by "correct" you mean "complete". However, the Hapkido page includes, under "Choi Yong Sul", an interview with Kishhomaru Ueshiba that indicates there is at least some connection. (Sidenote: the correct term is "martial" arts, not "marshall".)
I suggest a new version with the following points, if we can agree on them:
  • Hapkido is not a "style of aikido"; it is a separate martial art
  • Hapkido appears to have some Daito-ryu influence (cite interview with Kisshomaru Ueshiba)
  • Hapkido is spelled with the same kanji/hanja, suggesting it considers itself related (perhaps cite a Hapkido page describing its history to show self-identification)
--GenkiNeko 16:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
The page of Hapukido was confirmed. The relation between Hapukido and Aikido is being controverted. (The Hapukido organization of South Korea denies Japan to influence now. Hapukido is traditional original Marshall arts of Korea. [1])To prevent various misunderstandings, will we delete Hapukido? Hapukido is not necessary always information in Aikido. --211.131.245.114 18:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

You could also add yourself to the [[Category:Wikipedian aikidoka|Your name]]. Thanks for your contributions.Peter Rehse 00:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

How do I do that, again?

Aikido has been submitted to FAC. Lets take it that final mile.Peter Rehse 00:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Jun - the owner of aikiweb has privately said that if there are any pictures in the aikiweb gallery that the Aikido article could use I should let him know. I think we are looking for action shots that clearly show technique and look good at the same time. Could you take a look and let ME know of any that strike your fancy and then I will give him a list early next week.Peter Rehse 00:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
