Helo,

Sorry, with all due respect, I forgot to quote the article and state that it came from the listed site. However, I did list the site. So, I will put the quote or the source right after the article as denoted by a numeral in brackets. Ex: [1].

Regards.

Hi - its not enough to just quote the site. Wikipedia has a problem with direct copies. Since the article is so short anyway - why not simply write something unique on the temp page and let it grow from there.Peter Rehse 01:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I will try to add more. Also, maybe you could help in expanding this page as well. Regards.

Doing my best - actually my involvement was because of an effort to evaluate all martial arts pages and flagging problems via the martialartsproject (see above). The backlog of non-evaluated pages is now clear giving me some more time. There is some urgency since Wikipedia administrators may delete pages that don't confirm to copyright - so I deleted the offending bit. They've had critism in the past are are quite sensitive to the issue and frankly the old copy and paste routine deserves no sympathy. CheersPeter Rehse 08:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Malyutham and Mallyuddha
Hi Dayaanjali,

I would like to state that by merging Malyutham to Mallyuddha it is totally leaving out the Tamil info on the art. I understand that Tamil Nadu, Gujurat, and other states are a part of the same country, India. However, because they may be from the same country does not mean that the culture of Tamil Nadu would be the same of that of Punjab. Furthermore, both the arts of Malyutham and Mallyuddha (if they are considered the same) were practiced before the formation of India by the British. Another thing I would like to explain is that both of these wrestling techniques share similarities and possibly similarities in the name. However, the practice and history of each are different. An example of this in Southeast Asia would be the art of Silat. In Java there is Pentjak Silat, while in Malaysia there is Bersilat. Both share similarities in name and practice, however, the history of each is different. Here is another example, the Both Muay Thai in Thailand, and Leth Wei in Burma are kick boxing and are pretty much the same, but are of different histories and cultures. Lastly, please discuss on talk page first before redirecting. Regards. Wiki Raja 05:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
