Talk:Boxercise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Dictionary merger

This article was a candidate to be moved into wiktionary because it was more like a dictionary article than an encyclopedia article. In case anyone wants to add the wiktionary article, here's the original text:

==English==

===Etymology===
Blend of English [[boxing]] and [[exercise]]

===Noun===
'''boxercise'''

# [[exercise|Exercise]] consisting of mainly or entirely [[boxing]]

[[Category: English nouns]]
[[Category: Portmanteaus]]

[edit] Cleanup explanation

In my recent edit I:

  • Changed the title back to Boxercise because the article is about the general sport boxercise, not the trademarked Box-A-Sice. If Box-A-Sice needs to be described it should either be as part of this article (maybe a section) or in an article of its own.
  • Removed a user signature in the article.
  • Rearranged the article to remove redundancy.
  • Removed information that was too specific; that is information that related only to a certain type of boxercise etc.
  • Removed several emotion words like "fun" and "good" and words that imply meanings that can't be verified ("no boxercise class is the same").
  • Cleaned up spelling etc.
  • Removed the part about it originating in the UK - as far as I can figure out, it comes from Australia - if someone has a source that gives a clear indication of the origins, please do enlighten the rest of the world.
