:I added a brief 'history' section, based off of Karl Friday's "Legacies of the Sword". I tried to keep it broad, not related to the actual founding of any given school, but talking about kenjutsu and schools in general. I am curious, however, whether or not we need the -do and -jutsu debate in that article (not sure where else we should put it--maybe a generic 'bujutsu' article?), but that can get fairly contentious. Also, I disagree with the way kenjutsu and battojutsu are specifically called out. Kenjutsu is technically ''all'' sword techniques. ''Battojutsu'' and ''iaijutsu'' are, strictly speaking, subsets of ''kenjutsu''. I usually liken it to the way a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not necessarily a square. My preference would be to describe battojutsu and iaijutsu as a separate articles. Thoughts? [[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 06:58, 25 May 2007 (PDT)

I will wait till I go home, it will only be two weeks. Shikosku, how do you feel as to the naming of the linage heads? The reason I am asking you is because you were the one to put the current one up. Again I feel that something else should be instituted so as to not convey, even if by mistake, a sense of lacking.

Do the linage heads mean the names of masters or Ryuha genealogy chart?

:Well I have apparently been handed the reins for this by Shikisoku, so I think that Successors is the best way to go with this, for the moment anyway. Any objections? [[User:Rikoseishin|Rikoseishin]]

::I've been trying to update things--I hope people will correct them if they don't like the format. I've been using 'Lineage' as a section. I just tried something with [[Asayama Ichiden Ryu]] and I'm interested in how that works for people. A lot of these names are just people who received 'kaiden', or were at least listed as a previous instructor's teacher. I've tried to put it down in a text format as best I can--if anyone has time to do a nice chart like I have seen on some of the others, that would be great, but I'm just trying to get the information in there right now.
::When I'm doing that, though, what do people think about names? Many of the lineage charts I have show kanji with no furigana. This is fine for a majority of names, but when it comes to some where there could be 3 or 4 pronunciations I try to take the one that seems most common. Still, since I don't have an authoritative source on the name, I figure it would be best to add the kanji as well, so that others can make their own determination. I've been doing it as footnotes, but it was suggested to me recently that I put it right there in the main body of the article. Thoughts? --[[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 17:48, 27 May 2007 (PDT)

:it was apparently a one-time thing - one made the jujutsu article, one made the other one. Try to fix them up, add to them, and add sources, or just blank them and start over if they are unsalvageable. Whatever has to be done. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 17:02, 6 January 2007 (PST)

I started editing it. It's still in progress, so I'll add more info, concrete explanation and some kanji in the following days.
:Great, thanks! --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 19:47, 17 January 2007 (PST)
Sorry for the long wait concerning the kanji. It's done now. Tell me if you think we need more info on it.

== Bojutsu ==
I was wondering if it wasn't better to put Bojutsu, Jojutsu and Hanbojutsu all on the same page. Although the techniques differ because of their difference in lengths, their origin is tightly linked together, if not the same.
--[[User:Baian|Baian]] 15:12, 25 February, (EST)
:I would think we would want ''Jojutsu'' separate. Don't have enough familiarity with ''Hanbojutsu'' to understand its difference with ''Bojutsu''. I think that there is probably enough information to break it out. If not, I'd at least have a separate section on it.<BR>--[[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 21:48, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
== Naginatajutsu ==
Hello all. I'm somewhat new to the wiki format (I know it has been around for a while, but I've never had the interest and time until I found S-A), so please let me know if I make any mistakes in editing pages. Anyway, I've updated naginatajutsu--I hope I did it right. I'm going to see what other sources I can find--unfortunately, my copy of ''Heike Monogatari'' is out on loan, though Bennett quotes it in several places. I'll see what else I can dig up, but that said, how should we attribute? I'm tempted to just use (Bennett 2005), but if people prefer I can do it all through footnotes or something similar. [[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 20:55, 24 May 2007 (PDT)
:I think just putting it in the sources is fine - if you could find a quote as an example from the Heike Monogatari, it might be an interesting addition. Instead of in-line citations, we've been doing footnotes. I'll format that when I get a chance, it's pretty simple. The article looks good. Most of the bujutsu articles are pretty short, so it's good to get a more detailed one in there. Feel free to add to whichever articles you see fit. Thanks for the help! --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 00:08, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
::Okay. I put the references into footnotes. It actually is much easier. I'll try to add some meat to a few more. [[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 06:51, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
:::No need to go too far with the footnotes - what we've generally been doing in the past with footnotes is using them to point out contrary info (If 2 sources say two different things, we put the most "common" or "accepted" facts into the article, and footnote that info with an explanation of contrary info), or to clarify info in the article - we haven't been citing information with sources via footnotes (in other words, unlike a college paper where you cite every sentence or paragraph with the source, we've mainly been leaving it to be understood that any information in the article can be verified with the books listed in the "references" section) - it keeps the number of footnotes down. --[[User:Shogun|Kitsuno]] 18:41, 27 May 2007 (PDT)
== Kusari-gama-jutsu ==
I added an article on 'kusarigamajutsu'. I left it together as that seemed more consistent with the 'kenjutsu' and 'naginatajutsu' pages, but I put a redirect from kusari-gama-jutsu to make sure both were covered. If someone would rather put the main article under 'kusari-gama-jutsu', go right ahead--there are links out there to 'kusarigamajutsu', though, so we should probably go change those, too, to keep it consistent.
--[[User:JLBadgley|JLBadgley]] 21:45, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
:I think you're right, it is more consistent to put it together. The redirects are mainly for guesses for what you think people would type in a the search box anyway other than the actual title of the article.
