proxy

I did not "ban" the ip, as you say. I blocked him for 24 hours, but knowing it was from a sharedip, I wouldn't have blocked him. Also, please sign you comments, thank you. Gflores^Talk 15:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Jidokwan

The Jidokwan page should be free of personal schools and personal stories. All the other Kwan's pages just talk about the kwans, not individual schools. Otherwise, it is self promotion and should not be on there.--Bigzilla 06:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but it it should also include mention of masters that opposed the merge and went their own way teaching in the old style with the old katas. Rpf 13:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

No, it should not. Jidokwan changed it's training methods radically from year to year. So radical in fact that for many years, many members never learned nor practiced forms. Just fighting. That is Jidokwans old reputation, as a fighting school, with little use for forms.

There was never a set curriculum. Most of the FEW who state claims to have "broken away" usually did so do to their lack of skills.--Bigzilla 04:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

You are a very objective person.-- Rpf 04:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

MA Userbox

Today, there was a merger of Category:Martial Artist Wikipedians into Category:Wikipedian martial artists. This resulted in a userbox {{User:TonyTheTiger/Userboxes/Martialartist}} being added to the category. This userbox is available to you. TonyTheTiger 21:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Iwta logo1.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Iwta logo1.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Regarding Cheung Page

I've also reported the edits on the admin noticeboard [1] if you could please weigh in as well there. --Marty Goldberg 06:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, saw the comment. I'm hitting the sack, if you could keep an eye out for any more disruptive edits by him until this is settled by an admin, it'd be appreciated. --Marty Goldberg 06:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Yuen kay-san proposed for deletion

Could use your input at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Yuan_Kay-shan, some guy not familiar with Chinese martial arts history is insisting on getting the Yuen Kay San article deleted. He'll probably move on to a lot of the others from there. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 17:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Fungknives.jpg

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File permission problem with File:Wingchun.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Wingchun.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ting pole.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Ting pole.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
