Hi, thanks for making changes to the Cuong Nhu page regarding Vovinam. There's another chap who kept changing it back to Vo Viet Dao. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to chat with him about the proper name usage. I'm glad to stick with Vovinam in the CN page, as that's what our site calls it. And the Vovinam page looks better now. But if it switches back & forth some more, I'll try to keep the CN page locked down. Thanks again for your help.

[edit] Vo Vi Nam

Interesting redirect. You changed the redirect of Vo Vi Nam -> Vovinam to Vo Vi Nam -> Dao.
Why do you think this is correct ? In my oppinion this redirect is totally wrong. Dao is part of any martial art but this does not justify a redirection to Dao. Thomas 20:59, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The redirection was based on, what I presumed was, reliable data at Special:DoubleRedirects. Apparently, I was incorrect in that assumption. --AllyUnion (talk) 21:04, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Vovinam

Sorry for altering your work, but as a rule all Wikiproject templates belong on the talk page. The accepted wisdom is that it is generally best to keep information meant mainly for editors, such as these templates, out of the article namespace. This is standard practice, and there was also a poll on this issue a few months agothat found a fairly strong consensus for this policy. - SimonP 19:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Allright. I missed that info. Now I know. Thanks for the hint. And BTW: No need to say sorry for editing. You were right :) Thomas 19:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_Arts

You are listed as a participant in this Wikiproject, which appears to have ground to a halt - I'm contacting all participants to try to get things rolling again... hope you can help! -- Medains 08:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MA Userbox

Today, there was a merger of Category:Martial Artist Wikipedians into Category:Wikipedian martial artists. This resulted in a userbox {{User:TonyTheTiger/Userboxes/Martialartist}} being added to the category. This userbox is available to you. TonyTheTiger 21:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could you help me write this article?

Hello,

I was wondering if you would be willing to help me write either Seikichi_Iha or Shorin-ryu_Shido-kan. Tkjazzer 21:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Willing: yes. Able:No. I have no knowledge on japenese martial arts. I also don't know any karatekas who are into this topic deep enugh. Sorry. Thomas 09:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
