User talk:Andrew Chong

Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitions • add metadata • edit new pages

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! --Larry Sanger 03:24, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

Judo and Culture of Japan

Do you think at some point you could add a brief section on judo/martial arts in Japan to the Culture of Japan article? There is a section on sport but not judo, etc. Thanks! John Stephenson 22:31, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for your work on this page. As you say on my Talk, there is now some overlap; I am going to have a go at integrating them later. There is obviously a bit of a problem with things like sumo, which are not just sports. John Stephenson 23:39, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

Martial arts

Hey, good work on all this martial arts stuff - though we don't have an overall martial arts page as yet. It strikes me you could just start a stub including links to all the pages you've created, then do more later. John Stephenson 22:11, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

Ears being boxed

Geez, I hadn't thought about that phrase in years! But I certainly grew up hearing it all around me (I was born in 1942). I was fortunate enough never to have had it done to me, but it was a *very* current phrase at least through my childhood, into the early 1950s, let's say. When I later had kids of my own, it was in a French atmosphere, so the occasion to use it never arose. I wonder how one researches its use? Ask William Safire of the NYT, perhaps?
