 == Re: Choi Yong Sul entry == 

 Thanks for the words of encouragement. 

 I took another look at it this morning after receiving your compliment to try to make sure it was worthy and improved the references! )  

 The format I'm using there is still a little inconsistant and probably not the recommended one at WIKI but I'm learning. 

 I tried to fairly represent the sources, but as you well know, it is hard.  

 The postumously released Rim interview has many facts of key importance that we know not to be true. Even the most recent TKD Times Lim Hyun Soo interview has things like the following; ""One day, in 1944, Dojunim Choi's Japanese teacher, Takeda Sokaku, told him to ""Go to Korea and teach martial arts to Koreans."" etc. The fact that Sokaku had already died by that time really serves to undercut the value such stories. ) Once one faces a glaring mistruth it calls other facts from the same source into question ... and yet if we don't use them we don't have anything to go on at all. 

 I think that some followers of important teachers like Ji may wish that the Choi Yong Sul article had more in there about their teachers but as they don't offer much in the way of information on him so it didn't really seem germaine at the time writing. 

 The articles 'class status' would probably get immediately bumped up with a photograph but I don't know how to go about posting one within the stringent copyright rules adhered to here. Perhaps there is something you could place up there? 

 I'd really like to rework the hapkido article for a better narative consistancy but fear ruffling too many feathers so I just added things to it. What do you think about that? "
