Talk:Ankō Asato

This is not a personal essay
To whoever is adding entries to the article in the form of "My Sensei..." and "I would, nevertheless, like to introduce a couple of anecdotes about Master Asato's karate". This is a neutral point of view encyclopedia article, not a specific individuals point of view. There is no "I" "Me", "My". Furthermore, if Asato is described in the text he will not be described as "Sensei" but simply by his proper name. "Sensei" is not aproperiate the same way "His Holiness" is not aproperiate for the Pope-article. You must also mention proper sources to the claims in this text. You cannot, for instance, interview your own teacher and then post the information here unless it is in a written, accessible form, either online or in book-format.

Virtually all of the article (as it currently stands) is repeated verbatim from one of Funakoshi's books. I have commented out most of the article so that it may be revised later. I do not understand how this could be rated as a "B class" article in WikiProject Japan. Janggeom 05:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

No - that is pure copy-vio. Best thing is a straight up delete. Remember the article history is saved for checking and retreival if necessary. I put everything back to Stub although the addition of a couple of references would make it a Start class, picture would also be good.Peter Rehse 07:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I left the text in there (but commented out) in the hope that it would help provide structure for a revision, but perhaps it is indeed better to start again from scratch. Janggeom 12:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Following a quick search for references on Asato, I have deleted most of the article; it needs to be researched and rewritten. Janggeom 06:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I have rewritten the article as best I can, given my limited Japanese martial arts resources and what is available on the Web. The article could do with a lot of expansion by someone more knowledgeable about Asato/Azato and Karate history than me. Janggeom 11:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
