[edit] Changes at article re-creation

Hi, i assume i'm speaking to user Fujowpai. I'm actually the one who created this page when I was looking into the style and didn't find anything on it on wikipedia. firstly, i'd like to ask why you erased all the links to fu jow pai associations and schools. i think those are the best places for an individual interested in fu jow pai to learn more about the style.

also, why did you erase the chinese i put in for the names fujowpai and harkfumoon? when you put in the chinese characters for 'fu jow pai' you put down 'pai jow fu,' which would be correct perhaps if you were writing chinese calligraphy. i reversed the order to put it in the format people typically read chinese today (especially when alongside english text).

if you do not voice any objection towards it, i am going to link the fu jow pai associations/school again. -- by Anonymous (04:20, 28 May 2007 96.224.5.191 )

  • The user account "Fujowpai" exists to help readers differentiate changes by the Fu Jow Pai Federation (its "voice") from those by individual practitioners of the system or other interested editors of this article. The original text on this article was copyright to the Fu Jow Pai Federation and was properly removed via wikipedia process as a copyright violation. The replacement text posted here by "fujowpai" was reviewed by members of the Fu Jow Pai Federation for accuracy and neutrality; and in keeping with that, additional links to schools and listings of notable practitioners were not added -- others are welcome to edit the article and add additional links or content under their own name. The chinese calligraphy is indeed 派爪虎 -- which is the typical way the system is represented -- and can be seen on the logo, here. However, as you point out, it does appear common to reverse the order in this text format. The easiest way to ensure there is no confusion may be to simply have the logo or the calligraphic name appear on the right, above the history. Fujowpai 17:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC) (J Scribner)

Sorry about that, my mistake. It dose need phrasing so say something like 'is described as' currently there is only a primary source so it needs making clear that it is an opinion not a fact. --Nate1481(talk/contribs) 16:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
