I added information about the Jhoon Rhee commercial that aired in the Washington DC area in the late 70s/early 80s, including a link to the commercial. Illdini 16:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I will be adding more information and references as I find them, but J. G. Rhee is well established as the pioneering Tae Kwon-Do master in the USA. Thanks for adding the link, Illdini. Janggeom 11:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kinney Karate Association

One of the biggest Karate organizations in Oklahoma was heavily influenced by Jhoon Rhee. The Kinney Karate Association was created by Bob Kinney, George Baldwin and others. Bob and George were both initially trained by Jhoon Rhee as two of his first students in the Oklahoma area.

[edit] reference for Jhoon Rhee's study of Chung Do Kwan

I believe it is worthwhile to include this reference in the infobox. Please state if you think the reference should remain or be removed and why. User5802 13:50, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I moved the Chung Do Kwan reference from the infobox to the main text because:
(1) If something is important enough to have a reference, then it should at least appear in the main text (not just in an infobox);
(2) It keeps the infobox visually uncluttered (not the case yet, but it would become so with more references); and
(3) It preserves reference order in a clear manner (otherwise someone reading the main text—the core of the article—would come across reference 2 and be obliged to look around to find reference 1).
I am not aware of any relevant Wikipedia guideline on referencing in infoboxes, but if there is such a guideline then I would appreciate a link for my education. Thank you. Janggeom 16:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I did not see that it had been added to the bottom of the article. I thought the reference had simply been deleted entirely. I removed the reference once again. My mistake. User5802 18:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for presenting your point of view, User5802; clearly just a simple misunderstanding. Janggeom 13:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
