[edit] Question about your Hanbok photo

Hi, this is a friendly enquiry about Image:Hanbok-kids.jpg; it contains no source information (who shot it when, where, etc.) which seems to be against policy.

If you took the photo yourself, could you say so on the image's page, please? I had to unlink a lot of images from the Hanbok article because of images with no source info. I hope your photo can stay. :) --Kjoonlee 07:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Didn't I already do that with the 'I the creater of....etc. etc.'...anyway I added some more information. Kbarends 09:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much. ^_^
The reason I decided to ask was because sometimes people upload non-free images with "GFDL" or "PD-self" tags in order not to be warned for a policy violation. I had no doubt about your image being legitimate, and I'm very grateful for your quick response. Thank you again. :) --Kjoonlee 11:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Choi Yong Sul entry

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I took another look at it this morning after receiving your compliment to try to make sure it was worthy and improved the references! :) --Mateo2006 13:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The format I'm using there is still a little inconsistant and probably not the recommended one at WIKI but I'm learning.

I tried to fairly represent the sources, but as you well know, it is hard.

The postumously released Rim interview has many facts of key importance that we know not to be true. Even the most recent TKD Times Lim Hyun Soo interview has things like the following; "One day, in 1944, Dojunim Choi's Japanese teacher, Takeda Sokaku, told him to "Go to Korea and teach martial arts to Koreans." etc. The fact that Sokaku had already died by that time really serves to undercut the value such stories. :) Once one faces a glaring mistruth it calls other facts from the same source into question ... and yet if we don't use them we don't have anything to go on at all.

I think that some followers of important teachers like Ji may wish that the Choi Yong Sul article had more in there about their teachers but as they don't offer much in the way of information on him so it didn't really seem germaine at the time writing.

The articles 'class status' would probably get immediately bumped up with a photograph but I don't know how to go about posting one within the stringent copyright rules adhered to here. Perhaps there is something you could place up there?

I'd really like to rework the hapkido article for a better narative consistancy but fear ruffling too many feathers so I just added things to it. What do you think about that?--Mateo2006 12:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


Don't worry about the feathers ;-) They need some ruffling now and then. Over at hapkidoforum.com I already asked once if there were people who had a rights-free picture of Choi. I didn't get much response. Kbarends 13:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for trying. :) That's all we can do. I asked Barrie as he had some nice one's in his article. He told that the magazines seem less worried about copyright on pictures than Wikipedia!--Mateo2006 13:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Yoseikan' and 'Yoseikan Budo' Entries

Hey Klaas,

I just wanted to get your opinion on the idea of merging the 'Yoseikan' and 'Yoseikan Budo' articles.

The first I spent some time developing from its 'stubbiness' not realizing that a second entry also existed. I have emphasized the school as developed by Mochizuki Minoru, the latter has emphasized the school as developed by his son Hiroo. I noticed when looking at the history that references to the father's art and people who still practise it seemed to have been minimized through edits in favour the art practised by the son.

I'm think that if I merge the two I'll raise some hackles so I'm fishing for opinions at the moment. :)

Any feelings on this? --Mateo2006 21:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hwang In-Shik

Klaas,

I wanted to put a photo in a nice table like you did for Myung Jae Nam article but I messed it up and got his hangul and hanja along with it. I can't seem to get rid of them without losing the photo. Is assistance possible here? Sorry!--Mateo2006 12:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mateo, you probably want to upload a bigger picture. The template scales it automatically. Kbarends 14:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks the assistance there. I really appreciate that. Still getting to know my way around the system here in a few respects.--Mateo2006 04:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Look here

Wikipedia:Barnstar and award proposals --evrik (talk) 21:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. I don't know how it is decided who gets one of these babies but it is good feedback that the stuff I have been adding is going in the right direction. best--Mateo2006 12:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hapkido Article

Klaas,

It appears that some people don't like some of the changes I've made to the "hapkido" section (see Hapkido: talk). I thought it odd that someone would take such exception to the fact that I removed a reference to an article which was not the source for the sentence that I wrote. (Perhaps my memory is lapsing and I didn't write it?)

I don't know perhaps poster HKD has some connections to Scott Shaw as he seems very fond to posting Shaw related info.

Also I thought that before the introduction and early part of the article was filled with negative comments about information included and so appear to be more of an internal argument rather than an article. Actually I received comments to that effect by others. It seems to be heading back in that direction.

Any thoughts on this? Would you like to wade in on the talk section?

You can see why I hestitated to make further changes to this article. :) --Mateo2006 12:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Myung jae nam.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Myung jae nam.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. 213.84.127.221 13:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hapkido Article

I see you undid a revision that continues to keep popping stating that Master Ji was imprisoned for 'suspected tax fraud'. Thanks for that. This is clearly not what is written in the book cited. I've undone this revision before. I think we will probably have to undo it again as the anonymous user doesn't seem to care to take things to the Talk section. I thought putting the reference down would dissuade the changes but obviously this is not the case.

I've also had problems with Keith Stuart or one students continuing to post his name in an inaccurate context in the Hwang In-Shik article for what I assume are reasons of self promotion. I suppose there is nothing we can do to avoid these kinds of back and forth revisions other than give up?--Mateo2006 07:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lim Hyun Soo

The Lim Hyun Soo article is obviously the result of cut and paste from the website.

I mentioned it in the Talk section and posted on JungKiKwan's page the need for changes to make it suitable but thus far we haven't seen any action there.

I myself do not feel qualified or motivated to make the changes myself.

Do you think this article should be flagged? It would be good to have a section on Lim there but having no idea of the truth of many of Lim's assertions I don't wish to do so myself.--Mateo2006 07:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Neither do I, I don't know anything about him apart from what is already on the web. Kbarends 10:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
