Ivor Brown

Ivor John Carnegie Brown CBE (25 April 1891 – 22 April 1974) was a British journalist and man of letters.

After graduating from Oxford with top honours, he joined the civil service, but left after two days to pursue a freelance career as a writer. He later joined the staff of The Manchester Guardian as its London drama critic, and subsequently wrote for, and for six years edited, The Observer. He was widely regarded as the leading drama critic of his generation.

Brown was a prolific author; he published more than seventy-five books – some of them compilations of his journalism, and others about words, their origins, meaning and use.

Early years
Brown was born in Penang, Malaya, on 25 April 1891, the younger of two sons of William Carnegie Brown, a specialist in tropical diseases, and his wife Jean, née Carnegie. His father had a practice in Malaya, and Brown was sent to England to be educated at Suffolk Hall preparatory school and then, from 1902 to 1907, at Cheltenham College. He then undertook a year's private tuition with a crammer after which he headed the scholarship list at Balliol College, Oxford, where he shared the Jenkyns exhibition in 1913 and took a double first in classical honour moderations (1911) and literae humaniores (1913).

In the entrance examination for the civil service in 1913 he came sixth out of eighty-four successful candidates. Those above him went on to distinguished careers as public servants, but Brown did not. He was assigned to the Home Office, where his career lasted two days: finding himself asked to deal with an application by Staffordshire police for the increased provision of lavatories he wrote his comments and walked out, to earn his living writing as a freelance about subjects of more interest to him. He became involved in progressive politics, and was a conscientious objector during the First World War. He lectured for the Oxford Tutorial Classes Committee, published three novels and two other books: English Political Theory and The Meaning of Democracy and wrote articles for The New Age, an "independent socialist review of politics, literature and art". The Times later described his articles as "trenchant and witty".

On 4 January 1916 Brown married Irene Gladys Hentschel (1890–1979), an actress and later a director. The biographer Philip Howard writes, "her knowledge of the far side of the footlights enriched her husband's criticism". The marriage was lifelong. They had no children.

Manchester Guardian and other papers
In 1919 Brown joined the staff of The Manchester Guardian at its London office, as a leader writer and the paper's London drama critic, serving from then until 1935. His opposite number on The Daily Telegraph, W. A. Darlington, wrote of Brown, "No contemporary drama critic has enjoyed a higher reputation for good judgment combined with witty and scholarly writing". J. C. Trewin called him the leading English drama critic of his time ... wise, balanced, modest and a master-stylist [who] will stand with the few major English critics".

The Times commented that it fell to Brown to interpret "the great outburst of new and experimental modes of playwriting" that followed the war. His responses to the expressionists such as Karel Čapek, Luigi Pirandello, Elmer Rice and Eugene O'Neill were collected in a volume, Masques and Phrases (1926), compiled from his press reviews. The Times commented that it remains a valuable commentary on a remarkable chapter in the history of the theatre. Brown had his blind spots: as late as 1934 he dissented from the – by then – wide admiration led by F. R. Leavis, F. O. Matthiessen, Cleanth Brooks and others of T. S. Eliot and The Waste Land. He said that Eliot "offers the public the balderdash of his Waste-land (pretentious bungling with the English language?) and immediately becomes a pundit, bestriding the Atlantic". He was equally dismissive of Ezra Pound.

In addition to his work for The Guardian, Brown became the drama critic for the Saturday Review in 1923 and was the Shute lecturer in the art of the theatre at Liverpool University three years later. In 1929 he added The Observer to the papers for whom he reviewed. In 1939 he was appointed professor of drama by the Royal Society of Literature and the following year he became as director of drama for the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts the following year.

In February 1942 J. L. Garvin was forced out after 34 years as editor of The Observer because of a political dispute with the paper's owner, Waldorf Astor. Garvin was a Conservative and Astor and his fellow directors wished to give the paper a new political attitude – "more progressive at home, more international abroad". But this was in the middle of the Second World War, and few journalists were available. Astor offered the editorship to a leading civil servant who declined it. Meanwhile the paper was brought out by the efforts of staff from The Economist and an informally assembled team of European emigrés. The directors turned to Brown and invited him to be acting editor until after the war. With the help of his friend Donald Tyerman of The Economist, he "successfully steered the paper on its altered course". He served as editor until Astor's son David officially succeeded him in 1948, after which he continued as the paper's drama critic until he was replaced by Kenneth Tynan in 1954.

Final years
Brown spent his final years concentrating on writing books. He eventually published more than 75 books covering a wide range of topics and genres, but he was best known for his works on literature and the English language. He was a member of the Literary Society, chairman of the British Drama League from 1954 to 1962 and a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and he was appointed CBE in 1957. He was awarded honorary degrees by the universities of St Andrews and Aberdeen and in recognition of post-war lectures he gave in Denmark he received the knighthood of the Order of the Dannebrog.

Although known for the fluency of his prose, in person Brown could be uncommunicative and unprepossessing. Darlington said of him: "In private life he was a staunch friend and good companion, but because he concealed his kind heart under an undemonstrative, even dour, manner, some people found him alarming. When he emerged or was coaxed from behind this barrier he was human and delightful". His friend George Lyttelton (to whom he dedicated Words in Season, 1961) described him as "a dry wine perhaps, but full of flavour" and his publisher, Rupert Hart-Davis, found him "nice as ever but even more liberally spread with scurf, cigarette-ash and shaving-soap than usual". A former colleague wrote:

Brown died at his home in Hampstead, London in 1974, aged 82.

Radio and television
Brown worked for the BBC intermittently from 1926 onwards. His Smithfield Preserved Or The Divill A Vegetarian a satire of Restoration drama, written for a charity fête, was broadcast in November 1926. In 1929 he had a series of programmes about the cinema, and in the 1930s, and later, in Radio Times he contributed articles about plays to be broadcast that week. He wrote a one-act play, I Made You Possible, transmitted in April 1937, and had a series, "Books, Plays and Films" and appeared frequently on The Brains Trust. In 1945 he began "a weekly examination of some misused words and phrases" in What Does It Mean? and after the Second World War he was the regular drama reviewer in the weekly The Critics programme, which ran through the 1950s and into the 1960s.

Books
According to Howard, Brown was among the most prolific and versatile writers of his generation, publishing more than seventy-five books, including novels, essays, biography, autobiography, criticism, coffee-table books, and "even a light (and not very good) play". Brown had a particular interest in Shakespeare, publishing several books about his life and career, and one on the poet's love life. The Guardian commented in 1974, "His lifelong study of Shakespeare came to fruition in the noble volume simply entitled Shakespeare (1949), and in print ever since. This is a master-work of scholarship and mellow wisdom". He also wrote a play, William's Other Anne, about Shakespeare's supposed lost love Anne Whateley broadcast on BBC television in 1953, starring Irene Worth as Anne and John Gregson as Shakespeare.

He became famous for his books about words, "agreeable rambles around correct usage and philology, enlivened by literary allusion, quotation, wit, and personal anecdote". Like his contemporaries H. W. Fowler and Eric Partridge he cared not only about precise use of words, but for words in themselves. Howard comments that Brown collected words as others collect porcelain, and was the most good-humoured of prescriptivists, but was nevertheless "incorrigibly convinced that there existed such a thing as correct English, and that it was to be preferred to the other kind".

Samuel Miklos Stern

Samuel Miklos Stern (Tab, Hungary, 22 November 1920 – Oxford, 29 October 1969) was a Hungarian–British academic specializing in Oriental studies.

Life
He was born to an Orthodox Jewish family in Hungary, and lost his father at the age of three. His mother took over his early education, and ensured his upbringing in a religious-minded Jewish manner; Stern learned to read Hebrew before he could read the Latin alphabet. He continued his education at a Benedictine school and at a gymnasium in Budapest, where he acquired knowledge of Greek and Latin. At the same time, Stern began learning Arabic on his own. With the rise of Nazi Germany, in 1939 his mother sent Stern to safety in Mandatory Palestine. She remained behind, and would be killed during the Holocaust.

In Palestine he enrolled in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he studied under a series of prominent teachers, including the Arabist David H. Baneth, the Semiticist Hans J. Polotsky, the philosopher Leon Roth, the historian of Islamic philosophy Julius Guttmann, and the Romanist Hiram Pflaum-Peri. At the Hebrew University he also met and befriended Shelomo Dov Goitein, who introduced him to medieval Islamic history. During World War II he interrupted his studies and served with the British censor office at Baghdad and Port Sudan. He finished his university studies in 1947. During his war service Stern met the Orientalist Paul Kraus, who introduced him to Isma'ili studies, a major area of interest for Stern during his later career.

After completing his degree, he went to Oxford University for post-graduate studies under H. A. R. Gibb at St. Catherine's College. He completed his PhD on Andalusi strophic poetry (The Old Andalusian Muwashshah, published posthumously as Hispano-Arabic Strophic Poetry) in 1950. He would remain based at Oxford University for the remainder of his life: he accepted invitations to lecture at other institutions, but refused any permanent position, despite offers from the likes of Harvard University. At Oxford he lived in the same house as his close friends, Professor Richard Walzer and his wife Sofie.

In 1951–1956, Stern served as assistant editor for the second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam. In 1956–57 he was Assistant Keeper of Oriental Coins at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, followed by being elected to a Research Fellowship at All Souls College. From 1964 and until his death he was additionally Lecturer In the History of the Islamic Civilization. Stern died of a severe asthma attack in October 1969.

Work
Stern was a prolific scholar who wrote on a variety of topics and issues. By the time of his death, he had 265 publications, including a few books. Most of his writings on medieval Islamic history and civilization were posthumously collected and reprinted in three Variorum Collected Studies volumes (Medieval Arabic and Hebrew Thought in 1983, History and Culture in the Medieval Muslim World in 1984 and Coins and Documents from the Medieval Middle East in 1986).

Prabhakaravardhana

Prabhakaravardhana (also known as Prabhakara Vardhana) was a king of Thanesar in northern India around the time of the decline of the Gupta Empire. According to the historian R. C. Majumdar, he was the first notable king of the Vardhana dynasty but the fourth ruler from the family, who are also referred to as the Pushpabhutis. He had been preceded by his father, Adityavardhana, grandfather Rajyavardhana I and great-grandfather, Naravardhana, but inscriptions suggest that Banabhatta, the seventh-century bard and chronicler of the Vardhanas, may have been wrong to call these earlier rulers kings and that they may instead have been mere feudatory rulers of minor significance.

Prabhakaravardhana's father, Adityavardhana, had formed an alliance with Mahasenagupta of Magadha against the Maukhari dynasty. He was married to Mahasenagupta, who was probably the sister of this Gupta king who bore the same name. Through these arrangements he had much enlarged the family's estates. It is because of this territorial expansion that, while Adityavardhana bore the title of maharaja, his son was able to use the higher rank of maharajadhiraja. In turn, Prabhakaravardhana further extended Vardhana control, using aggressive tactics that resulted in him probably ruling over the Punjab and part of Malwa. Aside from defeating rulers in Gujarat, Gandhara and Sind, he also resisted the invasion of the Hunas, as reported by the 7th century writer Bāṇabhaṭṭa.

The date of death of Prabhakaravardhana is variously stated: according to Majumdar, it was in 604 CE but some sources, such as the military historian Kaushik Roy, say 606 CE, and others state 605. He was married to Yasomati, who became sati.

Prabhakaravardhana and Yasomati had three children. Their eldest son, Rajyavardhana, succeeded to the throne and was in turn succeeded by the younger son, Harsha; their daughter, Rajyashri, married Grahavarman of the Maukhari dynasty that ruled Kannauj.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article started by a spammer which has been cleaned up slightly, but the sources that contribute its referenciness do not establish significance. Most are self-edited directory listings and the like, those which are not are basically just namechecks. Guy (Help!) 12:05, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

 * For clarity, the spammer is blocked editor . Delete per nom.  Jehochman Talk 14:34, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * For additional clarity, note that JEHochman was the blocking administrator of hippomuse, using the rationale "COI only account" — which wasn't even a blockable offense in 2012, when the block happened. Correction: Block happened in Nov. 2013. Carrite (talk) 18:35, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In short, this was not a banned editor creating an article around a block, this is a run of the mill COI editor who got banned off for being a run of the mill COI editor, and then the fact of that banning is being used as some sort of circular-logic rationale implying the article must be deleted because its creator was banned for having created the article... Carrite (talk) 18:41, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment - Not to be confused with Philip Sandifer, the Wikipedia critic, I presume. Carrite (talk) 18:19, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly a major figure in the field of contemporary Christian music, as the extensive discography and producing credits attest. THIS is a lengthy interview with the British website Cross Rhythms, "Phillip Sandifer: Kansas-based singer, songwriter, producer and worship leader." And HERE is substantial coverage of Sandifer in the book Hot Hits: Ac Charts 1978-2001, by Jeffrey Lee Brothers. And THIS (4th item listed) is evidence that Sandifer and his Urgent Records are covered in Vol. 3, pg. 25 of the book Rejoice! published by Center for the Study of Southern Culture, University of Mississippi, 1990.  We are here to judge the inclusion worthiness of a subject under our notability rules, not the source of an article. Sandifer is clearly a GNG pass, not even mentioning how laxly we generally rule on such things in matters of popular culture. Carrite (talk) 18:31, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Carrite above. I have incorporated the first two references mentioned above by Carrite into the article. Those two references along with the extensive discography listed in the article, and the long list of other references that include several references from different sources that are independent of the subject, and are verifiable reliable sources help the article subject easily pass WP:GNG. I have never understood the need to delete articles just because the creator happened to get banned later. My goal is to improve the articles with more RS, and keep the articles to help to improve the encyclopedia.     WordSeventeen (talk) 23:12, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

School:Media studies

Wikiversity

Welcome to the School of Media Studies

 * Definition
 * Media Studies examines the effect of media on society.

 * Media studies examines the ethical issues and responsibilities, media's influence, media's role in our society and media's evolution.

 * History
 * The study of Media Studies is still a relatively new area, only developing in the last fifty years or so. Compared to other disciplines, this is a very short time.

 * Please help
 * The school is still very much under construction. We welcome anyone with a knowledge and/or interest in any aspect of Media Studies to take part in the development of the school. Feel free to add your name below if you would like to help, and start developing. Also, please add your ideas, questions, and/or proposals to the talk page.

 * style="width:100%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color:LightYellow;" |

Media Studies is not Film, Television and Radio Production

 * The scope
 * To give media studies students the background that they need to understand, analyze, criticize and write about the effects, functions, and relations between film, television and other media, and society as a whole, most Media Studies Departments focus on the theoretical, economic and political aspects of media production, and the uses that are made of the media in the daily lives of people.

 * Practical filmmaking
 * Students who are interested in a career producing motion pictures, radio and television news and drama should go to departments specifically designed for this. The production of film and television will be covered in the School of Film and Television. In this department, there is a series of courses on basic filmmaking for independent motion pictures.  (The filmmaking school is about 70% complete.) A Radio division is also under construction as well as the new School of Broadcasting.

Puzzles/Logic puzzles/Knights, Knaves & Spies II/Solution

Puzzles | Logic puzzles | Knights, Knaves & Spies II | Solution

C should answer "No".

Reasoning
B is either a knave or a spy. If B is a spy, then A is truthful and is therefore the knight.

A - Knight B - Spy C - Knave

On the other hand, if B is the knave, there are two possibilities:

A - Spy B - Knave C - Knight

or

A - Knight B - Knave C - Spy

If C is either the knave or the knight, his answer to the question will be "No", and so the judge will not be able to draw a conclusion. On the other hand, C can answer "Yes" only if he is the spy.

Language
I note the above rubric but most of the problems for British users come with the construction of the sentences and some of the words rather than spelling. Except where words are loan words from Sanskrit or Hindi and the other Indian languages I don't think the structure of Indian English is any different from English/British English but I may be wrong. I could do some alterations into British English could anybody make comments about what I have said so far. There may also be some mistranslations and I won't be able to deal with those or with some of the other alterations needed. . Spinney Hill (talk) 13:58, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Alain Morisod

Alain Morisod (born 23 June 1949) is a Swiss musician and television producer, known for forming Sweet People who had a UK number 4 hit in 1980 with "Et Les Oiseaux Chantaient (And the Birds Were Singing)".

Early life
Morisod grew up with an older brother, Maurice, born 3 April 1946. He did also have another brother, Jean-Claude, born 23 October 1947, but he died only 4 days after being born. At the age of 9, Morisod lost his father, Jean, who was a butcher in the Geneva district, Saint-Gervais. Following the encouragement of his mother, Maguerite, he then learned to play the piano. He studied at the Institut Florimont between 1958 and 1968 and then went on to study in the Faculty of Law at the University of Geneva, from 1968 to 1970. He then went on to study at the Conservatoire de Musique and the Conservatoire Populaire, both in Geneva.

Music career
From 1967, Morisod was a piano accompanist for artists such as Arlette Zola, Henri Dès and Fernand Raynaud. His first single, "Concerto pour un été", was released in Switzerland on 27 April 1971, which Morisod also composed and produced. Then, soon after, producer Henri Belolo called Morisod saying that he wanted to release the song in France. The only problem was that the name Morisod sounded too 'Swiss', so Belolo proposed replacing it with Alain Patrick, which Morisod accepted. The single was then released in France in June. The song was a hit, selling over 2 million copies, becoming a Top 40 hit in France and also reaching number 46 in Wallonia. The following year, it once again reached the Top 40 in France. However, the song became a bigger hit in 1973 in Brazil where it was number 1 for 9 weeks. The album of the same name also reached at least number 10 in France. A remix of song, with seagull cries and the noise of waves, was also released at the request of radio station RTL, as it sounded more 'new age'.

In 1977, Morisod formed Sweet People to participate in the 1978 Eurovision Song Contest. Their song "Hey, le musicien" came second in the national finals, losing out to "Vivre" by Carole Vinci, which Morisod had also composed. In February 1978, "Le Lac de Côme" was released and was a number 1 in Canada and the album of the same name was certified platinum. The song had originally been released as the B-side to "Crystal Tears" the previous year, but to his astonishment, Morisod got a call from Quebecois producer Gerry Plamondon (producer), to say that the song could work in Canada and so it was then released there.

After its success, Morisod's brother, Maurice, came up with the idea of removing the piano part from the song and adding in birdsong. This became "Et Les Oiseaux Chantaient", which was quickly included on their album Percé. The song was released in the UK in 1980 with the parenthesised "And the Birds Were Singing", where it peaked at number 4 in the charts. It was also a Top Ten hit in Flanders and the Netherlands and a Top 40 hit in Germany. The song charted again in the UK in 1987, reaching number 73. Sweet People achieved further success with "Adieu et Bonne Chance", which reached number 25 in France in 1985.

For the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest, Morisod composed the Swiss entry "Amour on t'aime", sung by Arlette Zola, and also provided backing vocals as part of Sweet People.

Morisod has lived in Canada since around 1980 and over the years has achieved great success there with Sweet People; numerous albums have been certified platinum and gold by the CRIA, including Le petit garcon au piano, Nos plus belles melodies, Noël sans toi, Prend le temps and Madawaska in the 1980s and many more in the 1990s.

Other work
In 1979, he took over the Casino-Théâtre Revue in Geneva and managed to revive its success. He had previously accompanied Ferdinand Raynaud on piano there in 1971. The Casino-Théâtre was then closed in 1987 due to renovation work and once reopened in 1990, management was entrusted to Pierre Naftule.

From 1980 to 1985, Morisod was a producer on the television network Télévision Suisse Romande where Christian Morin presented and from 1998 to 2019, he had his own variety show Les coups de cœur d'Alain Morisod, alongside presenters Jean-Marc Richard and Lolita Morena.

From 1986 to 1991, he was the president of the football club Urania Genève Sport, and managed in 2 years to be promoted from the 2. Liga to the Nationalliga B.

After being engaged for 31 years, Morisod married fellow Sweet People singer Mady Rudaz in 2001.

For the 2003, 2004 and 2006 Eurovision Song Contests, Morisod was the co-commentator with Jean-Marc Richard for the French-language Swiss television station RTS.

In 2011, he was the ambassador for the 24th telethon in Switzerland (Téléthon Action Suisse) for French-speaking Switzerland, alongside journalist Malick Touré-Reinhard.

Talk:Japanese martial arts/Archive 1

Creation of article
Turns out that there is no central article about Japanese martial arts such as with Chinese martial arts. There are excellent articles about various aspects and also specific martial arts but really nothing to tie them all together. I realize the first attemp is a bit sloppy but hopefully it will provide a germ.Peter Rehse 07:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Jujutsu section is nearly as long as the jujutsu article itself. Should be trimmed I think.Peter Rehse 06:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Took a stab at the Jujutsu article. Hope it helps. <IP_ADDRESS> 01:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It did - thanks.Peter Rehse 01:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Caution as article develops
The article is developing very nicely but things we should watch out for (and I guess we already are) is 1) not to include the detail that would and usually is covered in the main articles on the subject. 2) careful not to repeat the same ideas within the article itself. Describing how old jujutsu is when you have already described how old Japanese martial arts in general is does not really serve a purpose.Peter Rehse 01:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * If info is removed without an explanation, esp by unregistered users I tend to revert it but I see your point. is this info in the main JJ article? --Nate1481 02:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I also tend to be less forgiving for the anonymous but he did mention the changes in the talk section which was why I took another look at it. If the info is not in the Jujutsu article perhaps it should be put in but I think it is.Peter Rehse 02:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Also there is now a huge white space beside the table of contents - we need an appropriate pici.Peter Rehse 01:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Blank sections
Are the (blank) sections on Kusarigamajutsu, Tessenjutsu, and Oshikiiuchi really necessary? Kusarigamajutsu is definitely a martial arts niche (how many sickle-wielding schools have you heard of?), as is Tessenjutsu. I've never even heard of Oshikiiuchi.Joe routt 02:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I also added a pic. Not sure if it's exactly what we're looking for, but it's better than nothing for the moment. And, quite honestly, I think it looks pretty cool. I replaced the term "Swordsmanship" with Tojutsu due to the broad scope of Japanese swordsmanship and made several minor modifications regarding Hiragana spelling (those long "u" sounds are a killer). Joe routt 02:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the contributions, but check out WP:MOS-JP for romanization guidelines. Only non-loanwords get macrons. Also, I'm not sure the separate sections are necessary, either, but the original concept for this page was to act as a hub for Japanese martial arts. In that sense, it provides context for all those obscure weapon arts. Finally, according to its own page, "Tōjutsu" is not a word that is actually used to describe swordsmanship. Bradford44 16:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

All the words I've added macrons to (jujutsu, tojutsu, etc.), I only did so in the section title and the first occurance in their sections. I understand the need to cover obscure weapon arts, but maybe they could all have their own section ("Other Armed Systems"?). Tojutsu was my attempt at helping, but if you'd prefer, I'll switch it back to "Swordsmanship."Joe routt 18:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds fine to me to do a combined section for "Others" (or whatever the title should be), I was just experimenting with doing subsections until someone had some other input. Regarding macrons, if you'll check out No. 11 under WP:MOS-JP, you will see that the macron for a loanword such as jujutsu, kendo, or sumo, should never be used, except in the context of WP:MOS-JP, which explicitly provides for loanwords where the article is taking time to provide the kanji and/or kana. Regarding Tojutsu, I personally have never heard the term used, and its own page likewise states that it is essentially unused, but I was never exactly thrilled with Swordsmanship being the section title, either. Maybe someone else has a suggestion? Bradford44 20:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. I'd taken a look at the MOS before, but I hadn't noticed the "accepted romanization" part. Thanks. But shouldn't "budo" also be stripped of its macron, too? It's used commonly enough. I'm open for a title change from tojutsu, but I just don't know what to put there. If anyone changes it, I won't mind, but I'm leaving it alone for now. I think Archery and Naginatajutsu (there may be better titles for these) could be made into full sections (2.4 and 2.5, respectively), while "Other Koryu Martial Arts" could be remade to include all those obscure weapons arts (making it section 2.6). If someone disagrees, please let me know on this talk page. If not, I'll make the change sometime Thursday.Joe routt 23:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Promotion to B-class
I'm promoting the article to B - a bit premature maybe but it really has come a long way. I think the most important addition will be an expansion on Karate mentioning the Okinawa connection.Peter Rehse 00:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Expansion of aikido?
The section on Aikido is shorter than the other established sections. Either Aikido should be expanded or the other sections (Sumo, Jujutsu, Swordsmanship) should be shortened. Judo is a bit short too, but Aikido's the one I'm more concerned about.Joe routt 03:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Possibly aikido can be expanded but since aikido and judo are really classes of jujutsu I think the latter can be much longer than the frist two without destroying balance. Same with swordsmanship (ie a broad class).  Sumo can be cut down a bit.  The detail should be found in the actual articles.  Just my opinion.Peter Rehse 04:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It's looking good, I'll try to put in some time on the empty sections. Regarding "budo", from a couple of posts up, I don't think it qualifies as a loanword. It may be common enough among martial artists and anime fans, but I'm reasonably certain I could ask all of the people in the office where I work and they would have no clue what I'm talking about (that might not work at Peter's office ;), but for anywhere here in the U.S., I bet you'd get a similar result).  Additionally, it fails the dictionary test, where words like kendo, judo, and aikido pass. However, I'm happy to wait for some responses before putting the macrons back in. Bradford44 16:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't have anything against budo being written with macrons, if it fails the dictionary test. One thing I am wondering about though: in this article so far, we see references to "gendai budo." Should "koryu" then be specified as "koryu bujutsu"? Just a thought.Joe routt 19:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

What to include and List of martial arts
I think its time to be a bit selective as to what goes in to this page. In my opinion things like Kusarigamajutsu and Tessenjutsu don't really belong since they are not the primary skill (even secondary) around which a particular school is built. If we start listing every skill than the whole article will loose focus. Similarily I think the Japanese section of the List of martial arts could do with a bit of trimming along the same lines. The weapon themselves are listed under List of martial arts weapons. I've made what I think are appropriate changes.Peter Rehse 03:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Content: How to have not too much, but also not too little
I'd like to propose a basic format that all of the entries in this article should follow, because I think some of the sections are getting trimmed down too much. The following suggestion only applies to subsections dealing with a specific martial art, and not the generic sections such as "koryu" and "gendai budo":
 * Each section should address only topics
 * Those topics are 1.) origins and development of the martial art, and 2.) a general description of its techniques, methodology/philosophy, and/or practice (whatever best, and briefly, describes the practice and purpose of the martial art).
 * Each of the two topics should be spread out over no more than two paragraphs, and only one paragraph if possible.
 * Thus, each martial art would have no more than four paragraphs, and of course, each paragraph should be a reasonable length (say, 3-8 sentences or so).

I'm going to go ahead and rewrite the sumo article (which currently only contains information about the history of sumo, and not the practice of it) to be consistent with this, and we can discuss whether it is better or worse for it, and come to a consensus regarding my suggestion.Bradford44 21:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

martial arts, karate --> tang dynasty hand
I added this part to the karate section. "Originally, it meant "Tang Dynasty Hand," Tang Dynasty being a dynasty during 7th-10th century China. However, the name was changed during World War 2 during Japan's war with China."

-intranetusa —Preceding unsigned comment added by intranetusa (talk • contribs)

Merge suggestion
I have suggested a merge from Budo into this article because both are on the same topic. Actually the budo article was created first, but this title seems more accessible and this article is in a more developed state as well. If the merge is completed, it would be helpful to look into a history merge as well, because there have been no real edits to that article since this one was created. Dekimasu が... 10:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid I disagree. It has been a significant challenge to make the Japanese martial arts article short enough to be accessible, but long enough to be useful.  The information currently contained in the Budo article is much more detailed and specific than the information on this page should be.  The Japanese martial arts article works well as a hub, where each section has a brief overview of material covered in depth in a main article. But that's just my opinion... anyone else? Bradford44 16:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

 * What actually needs to be merged can, of course, be discussed here. It doesn't need to mean that the entire budo article is added to this one, and this is a great improvement over how things stood before November. However, since the terms are equivalent, one should redirect to the other, and most of the links which are currently aimed at budo due to the fact that it used to be the pipe target for general "Japanese martial arts" links would be much better off aimed here. Dekimasu が... 17:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

 * You have just raised an interesting point of contention. Namely that "Japanese martial arts", and "Budo", are equivalent terms.  It is certainly the case that they are very frequently used interchangably, and you are definitely correct that many links that point to the Budo article should be changed to point here. However, if in fact these are not truly interchangable terms, doesn't that indicate that the articles should not be merged?  Also (and a little off the point), someone who was really picky could point out that "bugei" might be a more direct translation of "martial arts" than "budo". Nevertheless, this is definitely worth discussing, and I'm glad you brought it up. Bradford44 19:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Besides Budo and Japanese martial arts not being equivilent the focus of the articles are also quite different. Japanese martial arts refers to the breadth of arts available while Budo refers more to the philosophical construct used by some of the Japanese martial arts. As it stands now there is little repetition between the two articles and they stand alone quite well. I would not merge.Peter Rehse 05:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Bradford44 04:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * All the points I can think of made already another vote against merge. --Nate1481 09:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

It's been two weeks, and no votes in favor of merging - I'm going to pull the tag. Note however, that I am going to include "budo" as a subsection under "philosophic and strategic concepts", with a link to the main page. Bradford44 15:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Les autres langues
Anyone who reads other languages should link the appropriate foreign language counterpart page. I'm going to look for the French one. And...it might be helpful to have the Japanese one ;) Joe routt 22:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...looking at most of these pages, they seem to have articles only titled "Budo" but not "Japanese martial arts." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe routt (talk • contribs)

Suggestion to shorten article
I think this whole section is too bloviated. You have too much detail in the sub-topics that, at times, does not line up with the the content on that topic's main page. We should remember that the topic to be defined in this page is "Japanese Martial Arts." That would include origins, history, evolution, concepts, etc. As far as specific Japanese martial arts, there should be a list of arts with links to each art on its own page. This would stream line this page, remove excessive duplication, remove the burden of synchronizing information found in multiple locations, and and make navigation much easier. Kyoshinko 16:07, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree, but your suggestion has merit. A great deal of work has been done to get the article to this point, and to keep the content concise but compelling and interesting.  Therefore, I would request that you wait, and submit these criticisms at peer review, and get as many points of view on your suggestion as possible.  I anticipate submitting for peer review before the end of the year. Bradford44 14:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Sumo Wikiproject
I have made a proposal for a WikiProject Sumo Proposal. Yesterday I spent part of the day sourcing Akebono with a few other people. Most sumo articles are not well sourced. Though under two WikiProjects already, I think it would be to the advantage of both the articles of sumo and wikipedia as a whole if Sumo is placed under its own WikiProject. If you would like to join or have any comments, please go to the Project proposal page. Thanks! XinJeisan 17:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

New category, need articles
I have created a new category called Category:Fictional elderly martial arts masters and I'm sure some people on here know of some articles that are applicable. Thanks. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 21:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Ninjutsu
Does Ninjutsu belong in the Koryū list? I think not but wanted to get some more views before I moved it. --Nate1481 13:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Technically, yes. The earliest koryu to claim it as part of their curriculum is Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu.  On a related note, I've been thinking a lot lately about how this article is organized (with respect to splitting koryu from gendai budo), and I'm less and less satisfied that its the best way to address the topic.  If I can come up with a better organizational scheme, it may soon become irrelevant where ninjutsu shows up on the list. Bradford44 (talk) 13:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Fair enough, my only concern was that what is commonly taught a ninjutsu isn't anything recognisable from Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu, i.e. the Bujinkan etc. --Nate1481 13:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Assistance required
I have recently cleaned up the Asian martial arts (origins) article. I added a section for Japanese martial arts, but the information available on the page does not even come close to being definitive. If anyone is knowledgeable on the subject of the origins of Japanese martial arts, please feel free to add cited material to the page linked above. You can mention legends if you want (referenced of course), but please try to restrict your edits to verifiable material, preferably found in scholarly publications. Thank you. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
