Talk:Kendo around the world

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the following stamp, as I believe the concern to be unjustified, for the reasons laid out below:

 dated prod|concern = mostly linkspam; the little text there is should remain in the main kendo article|month = December|day = 15|year = 2007|time = 01:45|timestamp = 20071215014510

• it isn't linkspam: the pages linked to are relevant to show the spread of Kendo throughout the world. Some of the links are also annotated with more information, and I expect more will be over time.

• The main kendo article is quite long, and already not so focussed, there isn't room for discussion of how and where it is practiced. This information was taken out from the mian page some time ago.

• One of the most common edit/revert cycles to the main kendo page is people adding links to national organizations, and them being removed --- people using wikipedia want this information. It was added to within 24 hours of being created.

• As I said in the comment when I made this page, it is inspired by the Football (soccer) around the world page. This has at least the same discussion to link ratio as there, so I consider it to be within accepted practice.
