Aikido Online
Hi Andrew - its nothing against Aikido On-line (they once asked to feature my own dojo when it first opened which made me feel real good) and they are linked from my own homepage. It goes back to a time when the Aikido article was far less developed and there were just tons of links to everywhere (the source of my prejudice). Wikipedia is not supposed to be a link farm and theoretically it should be two or three links that add to the article. Aikido Online is too specific in its readership (a part of Aikikai) and frankly if them why not ... opens up the whole can. That said - my opinion is that each of the major styles of Aikido has its own article and there is lots of room for more specific information in them. A link placed there would be more apporpriate.

I have another suggestion. Perhaps a section on Aikido in the Media would be a good addition to the Aikido article. There you could mention a number of Aikido magazines (on and off-line) and of course books and movies. If it got too bulky we could split it off into a separate article linked from the Aikido.Peter Rehse 02:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Stesmo. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of IBM Notes. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Most of the links on that page were actually cites or references and I've converted most of the external links to refs. Stesmo (talk) 19:29, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
