Talk:Ed Parker

Source of article
Okay, I looked at your link and I see the similarities. Unfotunantly, I wrote that article a few years ago and it's quite possible that it was taken from my site at http://www.kenpothoughts.com Then again it's so long ago, I don't recall who took what. Anyway, I'll rewrite it.


 * I compared the article with the web site and gathered that the same person likely wrote both even before reading this talk page. Not a copyright violation regardless. - T&#949;x &#964; ur&#949; 23:17, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

The word 'exhibitionist' has been in for a long time and likely referred to his many public exhibitions and other promotions of the arts. It's probably best to remove it given the connotations of the word but I do think it was not meant in a derogatory way. JJL 19:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Just change it to 'exhibitor'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.163.65.9 (talk) 09:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Deletion
how do I go about nominating this for deletion,since it is just an advetisment? All links are to advertisments for his students schools.


 * See WP:AFD for this. I doubt that this will meet the criteria for deletion--he's clearly notable. JJL 03:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Ha, no one is removing an article on Ed Parker, that's just hilarious to think that he's NOT notable User5802 06:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Parker Jr
That section of the article is just horrible. It isn't objective, it makes no sense and isn't true. I haven't been and won't be doing any research on Jr, but he seems to have some connection to the martial arts. Also, describing his drawing skills as "amazing" twice is pretty unnecessary. I really don't wanna change it cos i'm lazy and it's late for me now so... yeah. Thanks. Hobbes007450 (talk) 10:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

first karate school
Ed Parker did not open the first karate school in the United States. The first karate school in the United states was opened by Robert Trias in Phoenix AZ in 1946, which is a full 8 years before Mr. Parker — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.56.67 (talk) 15:13, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the distinction is "Commercial", an "Americanized version" of karate.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 15:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
