Talk:Gunji Koizumi

Early comments
From 1950-1958, I practiced Judo at the Budokwai with G. Kozumi, T.P.Leggett, Geoff Gleeson and Charlie Palmer. This information was culled from numerous sources - books, magazines, obituaries, etc over many years. Oldfarm 05:29, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Articles should not be a list of dates but written in prose.Peter Rehse 00:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I realize that, but since I was in very poor health at the time I posted this article, I did not have time to do it properly. Since I have recovered, I have tried to update a couple of articles, but I have now become fed up with the constant barrage of incomprehensible messages regarding fair use rationale and have now lost interest in contributing anthing else to Wikipedia. It has become more trouble than it is worth and I will leave it to the experts. Regards: Oldfarm (talk) 02:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Article revision
I rewrote this article in February 2010. Janggeom (talk) 11:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

E. J. Harrison's letter to R. W. Smith
I removed the unsourced text, "In a letter to Robert W. Smith, Koizumi's longtime associate E. J. Harrison mentioned that Koizumi had been threatened with blindness and could not bear the thought of becoming a burden to his wife." In this source, Harrison's letter dated 20 August 1954 ("During the past two weeks the tragic suicide by gas poisoning of one of our oldest and most valued friends, an art teacher, has cast a deep shadow over our lives. He was threatened by imminent blindness and could not face the prospect of becoming a burden upon his wife."), to which the deleted text appears to refer, makes no explicit mention of Koizumi and does not match Koizumi's date of death (15 April 1965—more than a decade after the letter was written, and certainly the two-week period mentioned in it).

Apologies on that subject, you are quite right.

I have re-inserted the references to Koizumi having collaborated with Sadakazu Uyenishi and having taught at the London Polytechnic and the Naval Reserve, properly attributed.
