It seems Ninpo is where this should have been moved, not Gary's userspace; so I moved it. Wikis are for collaborating. Of course, anyone may choose to draft things in userspace, but it is not appropriate to remove articles from article space, even incorrectly titled ones, to userspace. I realize there may have been some honest confusion over the old name of this, Test Article, especially as regards the placement of the {{speedydelete}} to it.
Also, I removed from the article's references:
- The Harukaze Dojo Website by Gary Giamboi at [1]
This is because it is the writer's own website and goes against CZ:Policy on Self-Promotion. Such links must be added here to the talk page, as I have done. Gary may here request others to add the link, per the policy. ---Stephen Ewen 01:25, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

"Chi" and "Zen" links
I changed the links on the words "Chi" (wisdom) and "Zen" (kindness and goodness) to point to "Chi (Japanese martial arts)" and "Zen (Japanese martial arts)". I am about to create an article on "Chi (Greek letter)" and it wouldn't be correct for this page's link to point to the Greek-letter article.
I also changed "Zen" because I assume -- and I may well be wrong -- that this is not the same word as the "Zen" that means "meditation" (Chinese "Chan") in "Zen Buddhism," so (I assumed) it would be wrong for this link to point to the existing article on "Zen" [Buddhism].
These may not be the best places to point these links to; my main intent was to get them pointing away from places where I thought they should't be pointing.
