[edit] Adding external links to the Iaido article

[edit] External links

I've been adding this external link:Video of all the Seitei gata in the AKBAN-wiki to the Iaido article.

As far as I know this is the only place that has the Seitei gata logically arranged, free, open to all to reedit or erase, in video and with an accompanying text.

As I do not think an edit war is helpful, I posted this talk at your talk page so we might be able to discuss this.

I tend to think it is a necessary external source that adds the much needed visual dimension to the textual Wikipedia article. Disclosure - I know the guys who are into the AKBAN project and have been training with them. Gingihan

Sorry I disagree. Very simply, the descriptions are incorrect. Also, there is commercial content, such as ads from Google. While these both continue, I do not agree that the link shold be retained. Kendo 66 01:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Gingihan, I have removed the Akban link again, as in my opinion it does not comply with WP policy. Details at -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided.

[edit] Kendo formatting

Hi Kendo 66, I don't mean to butt heads with you over the formatting of the Kendo article, I'm just trying to see that the article has a professional presentation that conforms to wikipedia policy. I'm concerned that you're trying to use match the wikicoded section headings to the section headings of a book. One concern is that its borderline copyvio, and the other concern is that it makes the subsections look unreferenced. First, if you're quoting you should use quotation marks, and second, you may be better off explaining that such-and-such material comes under a certain heading from a certain source, rather than trying to imitate the layout of the source materials. I wish I could help more, but I don't have much in the way of kendo sources, so I'm trying to stick to helping out with writing style and formatting when I can. If I'm not being clear enough, please let me know and don't hesitate to ask any other questions you might have. As I keep saying, I think this is an important article to the WP:WPMA, so I'd really like to see it improve. Thanks, Bradford44 14:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Can you explain why you deleted my contribution on jinai? Deleting other people's contribution without commenting why is inappropriate. Please elaborate. SvGeloven (talk) 15:57, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
