[edit] Romanization

Why don't you explain what you mean by "non-Roman"? Did you have in mind that English is a "Roman" language, and that Greek, Russian, and Arabic are not? Michael Hardy 02:58 Jan 27, 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out, it should look better now.

[edit] Order from chaos?

Please join the Wikipedia:WikiProject martial arts. I figure we'll never get the articles straightend out until we have an overall outline. See what you think of a couple things I've pulled from Chinese sources. P0M 01:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I actually asked Ed Poor how I should set a project up, and suggested a different name. He sort of took things into his own hands and made the project up for me. I am assuming that it is as easy to change the name of a project as it is to change the name of an article. What would you suggest as a better name? P0M 04:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sanda and Wushu (sport)

Hi Wintran, could you please tell me more about sanda in relation to the IWUF? I thought the IWUF advocated only the non-contact, exhibition variants of wushu -- will sanda matches be included as a part of the sport wushu competition that are being proposed for the Olympic games in the future? Shawnc 06:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. Yesterday while making the changes I stumbled upon the official IWUF website. In their introduction of Wushu they state the following:

"As a sport, wushu is composed of two (2) disciplines: Taolu(routines) and Sanshou(fight)."

I based my recent changes to Wushu (sport) on this information, but maybe we should mention that most people associate Wushu with the performance routines only, and that competitors seldom train in both taolu and sanda? I'm no expert so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regarding Wushu in the Olympic games, that's a good question. I don't know if they propose sanda to be a part of it or if they only focus on taolu. - Wintran 14:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Street dance and Portal:Dance

I've just put your article into the "new articles" section of Portal:Dance. Feel free to pay it a visit. ;-) --Roland2 16:19, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Wonderful! I did not know about that portal. Thank you! :) / Wintran 07:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Breakdancing

Thanks for your contributions on List of breakdance moves and the template that linked to many of the dance styles you mentioned. I'm no expert on toprock, and another hand is very welcome. Draeco 02:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

No problem at all, you've done a great job yourself! I'm definitely no expert either, but have been reading a lot lately trying to figure out how various street dance styles relate to each other, their history and characteristics. It's a real mess and hard to find reliable sources, but it's also interesting. I'll try to contribute the best I can, and also might be able to do some citing of sources when I get the time. I'd love to get these articles in really good shape. Keep up the good work, you're doing a great job!

[edit] The golden age of hip hop for deletion?

I see that The golden age of hip hop is up for deletion. I wonder what you think of this. P.O.N.Y. 17:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music

Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. Recently, I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 09:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject_Asian_martial_arts

This project seems to have died - you're listed as a participant, perhaps we can join with Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_Arts (which also seems to have died) and revitalise the aims of both. -- Medains 08:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
