Assess unassessed articles

Assessment

1) Was Taira actually Japanese, or was he Ryukyuan?

2) To describe him as a sensei is extremely vague. Sensei can refer to a lot of things; it would be helpful to change the intro section to describe him as a karate teacher or a martial arts master or the like. Whatever's appropriate. LordAmeth 11:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

3) Taira was Ryukyuan, more specifically, he was Okinawan. I will add supporting reference to the main entry. Dougdaulton 10:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

neutrality?

why is there a neutrality box on this, but no explination here on what the issue is? THe assessment stuff looks more like a factual issue...RCHM 21:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The following sentence seems false on several counts: "It was his proficiency at this Kata that allowed him access to the Yamani Ryu Bo School in Okinawa." I think it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Van P (talk • contribs) 00:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I added mention about Inoue Motokatsu as he is the second of the two men who have had profound influence on ryukyu kobudo after Taira. I also removed information of Akamine and Hiroshi Eisuke as the presidents of RKHSK. In my opinion, these do not belong to the article on Taira- instead I started a new article on the association of RKHSK, and moved the later organizational information there. lmlahti —Preceding undated comment added 21:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC).
