Talk page questions/discussions
I've noticed a few questions/discussions on some of the Bujutsu article talk pages. They should probably be discussed here on this page so we can keep track of everything. These are the links with discussion:
"General Articles"
Baian brought up a good point on my Talk Page - how should we go about doing the more "general" articles, like Kenjutsu, Naginata Jutsu, etc. - It isn't a specific Ryu, and would be general like writing about "Samurai", or "Castles", so what is a good way to present it? What sort of information should these articles contain? I was thinking the definition, and then "history" as it pertains to the history of Kenjutsu, etc. People who read the article will want to know what it is, why it came about (if known or applicable), examples to illustrate, Samurai who were known for it, etc.
I am thinking we'd need sub categories like "history", "examples" etc. --Kitsuno 20:32, 24 November 2006 (PST)
Good question. For something like that it would be slightly difficult. The origins of general styles are highly debatable and the basics of it do not extend much beyond: "kenjutsu is the art of using the Japanese sword once it has been drawn from the sheath."

- You all are well acquainted with how much I hate Wikipedia, but I did a check, and they have a relatively long article on Kenjutsu - I don't like how it is written, but the concept is similar to what I had in mind - what do you all think of that wikipedia article? I think there is a lot of irrelevant info there myself, but I also think we can beat that. --Kitsuno 21:07, 24 November 2006 (PST)
- That article could not possibly be any more full of garbage if it tried. I does not even have the most basic difference between kenjutsu and iaijutsu mentioned. I am very certain that we can do better, but it will not be anywhere near as wordy. That article was just garbage with excessive filler. Msr.iaidoka 00:31, 25 November 2006 (EST)
