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)

Great . Thank you Stephen and Matt.

This article needs a description of what Ninpo is in the beginning for the average reader who has no clue as to these arts... such as myself ;-) --Matt Innis (Talk) 09:37, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

A video (or a link to a video) would be very helpful for martial arts articles. --Larry Sanger 12:02, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

I got another request this morning to enable upload of video. I'll work with Jason to enable it. Stephen Ewen 14:10, 25 June 2007 (CDT)

Also, Gary, it seems to me that all of these martial arts have their own unique moves. If you had video, animated GIFS could be made illustrating individual moves. Image:DNA-Animation.gif is an example of an animated GIF (albeit a very slow moving example), in case you are unfamiliar with them. ---Stephen Ewen 14:14, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
