[edit] Picture
The Jinenkan homepage had a picture of their founder performing a triple cut which would serve well as an illustration. Could someone knowledgeable in Japanese ask them whether we could use that picture? Zuiram 07:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I once heard of the practice, that a swordsmith in medieval Japan would be killed if a sword of his had failed to cut a human body in one strike. He would be killed because creating a sword of low quality put shame on him. Can anybody verify or falsify this? An if so, could you please incorporate this into the article? Thanks in advance for any effort. 62.226.240.19 06:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Link farm and You tube Links
Wikipedia is not a link farm and there is also a problem with You tube links (something about ownership). The idea is that there should be one or two external links that add something extra to the article - definately not advertisment. That was the thinking behind my trimming. I'll leave it alone but please consider that over half the links refer to a single dojo of debateable lineage. I see no reason not to include them but there should be some balance.Peter Rehse 02:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
