[edit] Inappropiate Information

With all due respect, is it appropiate to provide a public link to Mr. Draeger's grave? In most cultures only friends and family visit the grave of someone deceased. I'll wait a several weeks before removing the link. 134.121.244.50 (talk) 01:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

On Wikipedia talk pages, it is considered appropriate to sign entries using either a) your real name or b) a user name that links directly to your Wikipedia talk page or personal home page. As for Draeger's burial site, I supect that it was mentioned because the grave site was the subject of a published article some years back, namely H. Richard Friman, "Donald F. Draeger's Wisconsin Grave", Journal of Asian Martial Arts, 8:3 (1999). (NOTE: For the burial site of anyone buried in a VA cemetery, see the VA database, http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1.) As for what most cultures do, please provide your source. Specifically, is your statement based upon peer-reviewed sociological or anthropological evidence, or is it something you just made up? Joseph Svinth (talk) 04:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

The photo of the gravestone is also already public. It is published on the official site of Kaminoda Tsunemori Sensei who trained Shinto Muso Ryu with Draeger. The photo is attached to an article describing Kaminoda Sensei paying his respects to Draeger. I've lost the link to the site unfortunetely. Fred26 (talk) 07:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I found the link: You can see Kaminoda Sensei kneeling in front of the gravestone. [1] Fred26 (talk) 07:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Donn" or "Donald"

I havent browsed the naming policy of Wiki lately, but shouldn't this article be named "Donald Draeger" instead of "Donn"? Even if it were used more frequently than his name. "Donn" was just his nickname right? Fred26 (talk) 11:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
