Loi Lee[edit]

Richard - Thanks for the article on Loi Lee - it was missing from the aikido practioners section and personally, speaking as a Tomiki guy myself, that was a hole that needed to be filled. I made some changed that were necessary to fit the guidelines for martial arts articles and will try to help as I can. Most of the changes I made so far were formatting and keeping a neutral point of view.

That said large unsourced quotes are frowned upon and may actually result in article deletion due to copyright violations. I'll leave it to you to convert that to a more encyclopediac format. I suggest you take a look at the Kenji Tomiki article as an example. If you do - insert small quotes there is a way to directly attribute it which I will help you with.

What we do need - is things like when and where she was born. The first line of the article really should be modelled on existing articles, again look at the Kenji Tomiki article or even Tetsuro Nariyama.

I did put the notability tag in mainly in that this is an area which needs to be addressed a bit stronger.

Again I will help and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.Peter Rehse 19:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
