Source šŸ“

1592:-"Bruce could cause 235lb opponents to fly and crash 15 feet away with a one inch punch": multiple improper sources were used for this entry. First it cites "bruceleedivinewind", the fan site, which does not provide a full name of the source of information but merely provides it in the fashion of a tabloid. This fails the verifiability requirement. The second citation, a video on metacafe, does not verify this claim: the person being punched merely took a step backward and fell back into a chair, which is significantly different from the statement "fly and crash 15 feet away". The third citation, a video from Maniac World, is simply wrong: it is a citation of the push up and not the punch. At this point, an objective editor will likely have doubts about this claim, even if the two leftover sources appear to be reliable sources. The burden of proof is then on the interested editor to make a comment here about the actual source and why this claim may be considered verifiable. If the claim of "15 feet" is justified by one of the offline sources, do point it out, but please understand the cause of concern. 272:
to the active stateā€ or ā€œto make prosperous.ā€ It was a common middle name used by Hong Kong Chinese boys in those days, understandably because China and the Chinese people were very vulnerable at that time, and everyone, including Bruceā€™s parents, wanted the ā€œsleeping lion of the Eastā€ to wake up. The FAN syllable refers to the Chinese name for San Francisco, but its true meaning is ā€œfence of a gardenā€ or ā€œbordering subordinate countries of a big country.ā€ During the period of the Ching Dynasty (1644-1911), many Chinese immigrated to Hawaii and San Francisco as laborers, and the implication became that the United States was FAN of the Great Ching Empire. Thus the true meaning of Bruceā€™s name--JUN FAN--was ā€œto arouse and make FAN (the United States) prosperous.ā€ The gut feeling of many Chinese at that time, who felt suppressed by and inferior to foreign powers, was that they wished to outshine the more superior countries and regain the Golden Age of China. Bruceā€™s parents wanted Bruce to have his name shine and shake the foreign countries, which he certainly succeeded in doing."
3690:" So, if I am reading this correctly, "fly 15 feet away" does literally mean the opponent did "fly 15 feet away", yet simultaneously we would be "silly" to interpret it as "literally flying like a bird", even though that very interpretation has been the literal one that most editors here have assumed and considered to be impossible or dubious. It therefore follows that many of us, according to you, have merely been silly with our interpretation. That's cool; if a sentence is perfectly non-misleading and neutral, it doesn't matter if the reader can't read well, right? Now, while it's irrelevant whether I am silly, since that alone is not an issue for this article as long as I don't make any silly edits, a relevant problem is that there may be a lot of so-called silly editors around, who may not grasp the intended meaning of this statement. What can you compromise (remember: this is an official obligation in case of editorial disagreements) to present the statement differently, to help everyone read the article with more clarity and less ambiguity? 2412:
Please refrain from unnecessary accusations of malice: I specified individual's names because they never appeared anywhere in the article, so something had to done to at least encourage better citations if nothing else; what is necessary detail or how much context makes statements believable is open to editorial interpretation; deletions were done for reasons already covered above; I am merely pushing for any changes that may move this article as far away from "Chuck Norris Facts" territory as possible. It was not even I who started the criticism about this section. Other editors have referred to it as vague, hard to take seriously, and, yes, Chuck Norris Facts-like, which would mean something is seriously wrong. It may just be the lack of citation at the time, or it could mean other things as well. Both this section and Chuck Norris Facts come in a list. If you don't see any similarities, that's fine. Editorial directions require

martial art in the world today? It seems the most widely taught version of tia chi these days is a modified system that allows it to be used more as a health system. So while there may be specialist aspects to the art they are not the focus of the Tia chi that gets practiced by millions of people in hong Kong every morning. Its the most popular martial art in Hong Kong, i know there's like 2 different styles they both retain martial aspects of the original art but one more than the other. I think the most popular of the two is the one that retains less of the martial aspects , though i could be wrong. So i stand corrected Tai Chi definitely has some fighting applications and has been taught to the police and the army at some point in the past. But you say it wasn't one of Bruce's martial arts that he trained anyway which would seem rather odd , in fact some chinese might even call that lazy.

possible for a man to just go airborne while running. It would be a silly argument of course, because I would be using the incorrect definition of fly. All those definitions of fly I've listed have nothing to do with being airborne like a bird, and the one inch punch use of the word "fly" can reasonably be interpreted that way. You are right however to state it is possible that Lee's force of punch caused the man to "burst(one of the definitions of fly)" or "spring(another definition of fly)" back 15 feet. To be honest, it is silly to assume it means his opponents literally flew like birds through the air. I've already made this point previous in fact, but it was ignored. The one inch punch uses the same principles of a fundamental punch, and one of them was a strong follow through the target. You hit through the target, not at it. --
3022:
simply re-assert the lack of community consensus at this point. I continue to consider the discrepancy of information to be self-evident from the video footages, which are also published sources (documentaries, not web videos), with additional considerations of bias. To use your "Shaq" analogy, Little's claim is more akin to the level of "Shaq once scored 400 points against other NBA players with one hand tied behind his back in an unrecorded private match." I put "NBA players" since Lee's opponent allegedly weighed 235 pounds, which means the opponent is not easy to handle, especially with Lee being a lightweight. So, your claim that Little's statement is not "exceptional" is not convincing to me, as no policy specifies exactly what "surprising" or "widely known" has to mean.
2458:(XXG)'s neutrality policy." The feat alleged here is exceptional, so policy dictates that the source has to be exceptional, and simultaneously the presentation must be neutral. Other than your assurances, there has been no community consensus that Little's work is of "exceptional" quality, since, being a dedicated biographer, Little has a vested interest in promoting the subject of his books. The various video footages in published documentaries, which are reliable sources, do serve as a verifiable perspective, one which differs significantly with the perspective offered by Little. The word "legend", in the link I provided, referred to a non-verified, extraordinary claim, since the writer put immediately after it, " 3241:
also did have 3 karate world champions as his students who speak highly of him. He has world Judo, Jujitsu, and other national champions speak highly of him(Hayward Nishioka). He has the Father of American Tae Kwon Do speak very highly of him(Rhee), the father of American Kenpo(Ed Parker) speak highly of him, as does Black Belt magazine instructors of the year/hall of fame members(Wally Jay). In fact, many of the feats were witnessed from those same people just mentioned above. Hayward Nishioka, a former US Judo national champion, Judo instructor of the year, and Black Belt Mag instructor of the year - has witnessed Bruce do the very feat in discussion in the very wording that is being contested.

then-current post - another example of lazy reading on your part. The last post was deliberately insulting for the purpose of demonstrating the difference. I think you need to start paying attention to what other editors are actually saying, instead of assuming they are trying to insult Bruce Lee, his memory, or anything else. Now I've insulted you, I hope you'll notice that I still have not insulted anyone or anything else, and even if you will no longer take my suggestions seriously, which would be understandable, I hope that you will start listening to the well-reasoned suggestions of other editors, such as Shawnc, whom
2886:
shows a high regard toward Lee and his associates such as Little and his supporters, and is therefore biased -- what about the view of general public and the martial arts community at large including non-affiliated critics regarding Little's claims? There is no currently consensus on what that is either. Here is another subjective interpretation: the claim is surprising and not widely known to the general public, because only a small sample of the public has read Little's book in detail. Further, information of this type has attracted criticism by some members of this community, as seeen in the comment
1054:, to Hong Kong. As Bruce passed through adolesence, he got into trouble with street gangs (still in Hong Kong, mind you), and upon his reaching the age of 18 his parents made him take advantage of the location of his birth, claim USA citizenship (which had not been considered until then) and go there so as to get away from his troubles. So to flatly refer to Lee as an American is as wrong as flatly referring to Henry Kissinger or Arnold Schwarzenegger as an American. Sure, their citizenships are naturalized, rather than by an accident (more or less) of birth, but the only difference is that Bruce always 2902:" just because a source exists (speaking of which, the URL provided for the citation is not correct as it does not contain the doctor's quote, but I am only referring to this example as a matter of principle, assuming that it had a proper source). To say "Bruce Lee punched someone and caused him to fly 15 feet across the room" is materially different from saying "Bruce Lee punched someone and caused him to fly 15 feet across the room, according to John Little". Why do you not object to using the phrase "A doctor claimed" when you object to using "according to John Little"? 2971:
the statement of "Muscled as a squirrel, and spirited as a horse", you've answered your own question. Without the inclusion of "a doctor who knew lee", the statement would be taken literally rather than figuratively. Obviously Bruce doesn't have the literal muscular structure of a squirrel or the literal spirit of a horse, the statement is a figurative one. The feats on the other hand have no such conflict, they are supposed to be taken literally. When it states Bruce did 50 1-arm chinup or thrust his fingers into steel coke cans, it means he literally did those things.
966:, he had dual citizenship. Sure some people may be interested in reading about his citizenship - I have not opposed putting that he was an American citizen somewhere in the article. And my point remains that it flies against common practice to introduce him as "American" when he was internationally known as a "Chinese" guy. It's confusing, and really most people apply the "American" label not as a status of citizenship, but as a cultural identification. There's an obvious ambiguity here when Bruce Lee was known for his work in Hong Kong, and as a Chinese person. 3554:
is a small minority, or else there would of been at least one source that contested the feat. And if they were "silly" as you say, they wouldn't of been published in very reputable sources(A&E, many highly rated biographies, magazines, etc), in very reputable publishing houses(former Publisher of the Year) with a excellent rep on fact-checking. I am sure a small minority don't want to believe it, but many in that small minority will go out of their way to dismiss anything Lee does, not to say you are anyone else here is. That is just the reality of it. --
3076:
yourself. You think that doesn't send a certain message? Afterwards, you went on to challenge the source itself, again, without bother checking. What would you have me think? It does send the message that the citation of valid and reliable sources wasn't the real issue after all because once I gave them, you would look for anyway not to accept them. Nevermind the source is from the top Lee biographer, and printed by a highly respected publisher(former publisher of the year) known for strong editorial and fact-checking oversight.
3225:
is now referenced with 8 valid sources and is now the most strongly sourced section in the entire article. The tone is now based off the wording of the sources themselves. The list itself is a "Physical Feats" section, a specific criteria. The lead section narrows it further by specifying only exceptional physical feats are a part of the list. Just like the physique section is the visual results of Bruce's physical fitness, "Physical Feats" are the exceptional results produced by his fitness.
1567:
lived in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, he kept a heavy bag hanging on his patio" adds nothing to the statement of the feat and just serve to clutter the section. In addition, your citation method isn't consistent with the way the entire article is sourced and makes the section look sloppy as a result, stick with the citation method used throughout the article. The citation templates for websites does allow for you to add the author of the quote, I'll even save you the trouble and do it for you.--
3151:
their truth or that they might just be legends, in an otherwise serious article about a person who lived in modern times, invites ridicule from readers. That is, the tone is not neutral, formal, or encyclopedic, and the section's title might as well have been "Bruce Lee Facts", or simply have shared the titled of the section of the BruceLeeDivineWine fansite from which the list appeared to originally have been drawn, "A Few of Bruce's Awesome Feats".
1611:
name must be provided. For instance, you have made the entry "Bruce performed pushups with 250lbs on his back" citing the fan site but without providing the full name of the source of information; this is unacceptable by the standard of this website. In comparison, even visually sloppy content is much preferable to non-verified content. We could hide full names from the article's main body, but it still needs to appear in the reference section.
31: 1628:. In this case, such a random collection of bullet points also makes it likely for readers to consider the content questionable or non-believable. Instead, the sections I grouped together were meant to be pertaining to weight training, speed and so on, which would serve to create a coherent picture. If this was not clear, it could be made clearer by an intro statement. Better yet, I think, would be to get rid of all bullet points altogether. 2205:. The word word "fly" literally means to hover through the air with no part of the body touching the ground. Not only do the videos shown so far fail to verify the claim, they serve to make a case for skepticism. Also note the plurality of the word "opponents", despite the specification of "235lb", implying that this actually occurred on a regular basis. I am confident that other editors would see a strong case for skepticism as well. 2462:" referring to how the video does not back up the rumor. FYI, I have a tape of Lee's home videos that I acquired from one of his line of students. I don't recall seeing a scene where he punched someone and they just "flew" across the room. If you consider Little's description of "fly and crash" to be sufficiently neutral, non-misleading wording, then I will respectfully disagree with you and let the community offer its own opinion. 1803:
What I've seen though is a consistent lack of respect for valid sourced information that is being provided. With deletions of valid cited material, challenges on sources without actually checking, and calling factual information from the leading Lee biographer "tall tales" just because it doesn't agree with your own bias. For the record, it was ME who removed the "18 beats per second" entry. so don't' even try bringing that up.--
3384:
reader, or worse, the prejudiced reader who may come here and and conclude that his presuppositions about Bruce Lee fanatics propogating exaggerations confirmed when they read all about his Famous Fantastic Fhysical Feats. That is, let's write the article in such a way as to convince the non-believers, rather than confirm their skepticism. If I was unclear regarding my intentions for this article I'm sure you'll let me know.
2959:
the vast majority of the contents of Knowledge (XXG) could be challenged as "exceptional claims." I don't know the details of 95+% of what Knowledge (XXG) has indexed, but that doesn't give grounds to challenge if it is well known among that particular community and especially if there are no valid sources that dispute it as false. As for the rest of the criteria, I've already explained it in my previous message.
1451:. The video links showing clips of feats are were also obviously valid, and in fact come from Biography Channel's documentary on Bruce Lee, I'll clarify that in the citation. I've added web citations from the John Little article about his book "Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body." I've also found published book citations for most of them. I'll finish citing what I've missed over the next few days.-- 2874:"Well-constructed" is officially defined to mean that the list is easy to navigate. If it proves to easy to navigate to readers, it is a good list, or else. Policies refer to stylistic guideline, and stylistic guidelines are subjective, not hard rules set in stone. Editors continuously offer their inputs and suggestions over stylistic items. Even policies can be changed when consensus is reached. 1705:
don't think bullet format doesn't need any change. What you are suggesting would in fact just make it more cluttered, as the feats section could become as large as the article itself if all the minor and irrelevant details are added, see the BLDW feats section. A concise bulleted list of just the feats themselves is best, if someone wants all the small details, they read the sources themselves.--
1746:
article can ever become featured. I noted that you stated above that "Lee collapsing steel protected headgear" and "catching rice midair" are "documented facts", even though these have been shown to be tall tales from fan sites, not to mention the absurd joke of "18 heart beats per second". Everyone needs to be more skeptical and emotionally distant from Bruce Lee for the sake of the article.
1941:
feet (the length of a room) across the air before landing after being punched from a distance of one inch away is not something any objective reader needs to accept as fact without evidence. I would say that such a thing happens in fantasy movies, not real life. Cautious skepticism can hardly be considered bias, but is something I would consider to be a crucial necessity for this project.
3162:(written out a few posts up), as descriptions, such as this one, of things that sound physically impossible are "surprising", and I don't believe that this particular version of the one inch punch is widely known (whereas the version that we have on video is widely known). Also, John Little's book is probably a primary source, where wikipedia requires citation to secondary sources ( 1781:
constantly improve and find sources for the section. Instead, you've been overly aggressive, deleting my cited material from valid books/documentaries/etc. and even sources. You've deleted entire feats for minor things as not typing the authors name in a web-cite, when it would of been more reasonable fix the mistake, instead of deleting the entire entry.
3036:" While you consider Little to be neutral, we as editors have been encouraged to generally identify bias whenever possible, and to label the source when appropriate. Even though Little's work is not technically "a text from conservative or liberal alternative media or a focus group", he does cater to one specific group of people, namely fans of Bruce Lee. 1978:, so the section is fine as it is. In addition, your suggestion that more unnecessary detail be added to the section actually figures against the criteria for a featured article. Another thing that figures against the criteria for a featured article was your inclusion of a citation method inconsistent with the rest of the article(since resolved). 3379:
page. My posts began with a good-natured and humorous tone (which I can only sincerely apologize if you were offended by), and followed with a serious, direct, and respectful tone. Contrary to your assertions, I insulted no one, nor did I express my opinion on anything other than how the article should be phrased and cited. Did I suggest we
1915:
would be concern when new contributors to Knowledge (XXG) state that a person "collapsing steel protected headgear" is a documented fact, contributors whose edits have included erroneous statements ("3 feet" instead of 2 feet) and words such as "so fast". You may not mean anything malicious by it, but critical editors will be alerted.
3928:
reference. Also in regards to leaping 8 feet into the air to kick a light bulb--high jumping and kicking a something at 8 feet are two completely different things. For one, how is it so unbelievable for someone to kick an 8-foot light? For one, his entire body is not required to clear 8 feet, only his foot, unlike with the high jump.
3012:
will justify my presumably incorrect views, even though I "got no ground to stand on", another phrase that is not exactly civil. I am not enthusiastic about discussing lists at this moment as it's become relatively minor compared to issues with citation, but I do ask that we try our best to prevent incivility, which is required of us.
755:.) I don't know the answer, and maybe he wasn't (since he was born in the USA). But, on the other hand, Lee's father was born in Hong Kong so he must have been a British subject, which in turn makes it possible that Lee could have been a British subject by descent, or at least he might have been eligible to become one. 328:-It seems very obvious to me that the Lee Foundation and other have a vested interest in promoting Bruce as a Martial Artist first and an actor and a dance teacher second.I never heard Bruce describe himself as the greatest martial artist ever but I've heard it many times from 'lee foundation' sanctioned biographies. 3759:
the floor in the process and not actually airborne throughout, meaning that it could've referred to a basic case of someone scrambling across the floor after a good shove, trying to regain balance. To me this interpretation would be far easier to accept. Still, the wording is not the best. Just my two cents.
2161:. The fan site's claim of "3 feet" is unsourced, so using it was not acceptable. The relevant quote on the page which could be sourced was by Glover, who said 18-24 inches, not 3 feet. The only time it becomes acceptable to state "3 feet" is when a published book is used as the citation, as in Little's book. 3120:
reliable sources." Your view, my view, or any other editors view do not count as "reliable sources." The citation method is consistent with the rest of the article and the authors name is listed on the citation. So what is the problem? Anyone who wants to find out the details can just check the source. --
2248:
pointless to even talk about it now. I also have doubts on your desire for changes for the sake of the article becoming featured. You've used inconsistent citations, unnecessary details, deleted of sourced information, and are pushing for a change that is not even on the criteria for "featured articles."
3793:
The article used to say Bruce Lee could do 8 bicup curls with 80 pound dumbbells, which made a max of 110 pounds bicep curl. However, the article also says Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups. Now, the article currently says at age 24, he could do 70-80 dumbbell bicep curls. How can that be his
3553:
Don't try to lump all the feats together, when only one of them is being seriously contested right now. In Knowledge (XXG), the reliable sources are what is relevant. Whether a small minority with no contesting reliable sources thinks it isn't true is what doesn't matter in Knowledge (XXG). And it

In the future, I trust you will be more careful before you assume the intentions of editors on this page. All of my posts on this page (with the exception, admittedly, of this one) have been for the dual purposes of ensuring an encyclopedic tone, and preventing the ridicule of the facts stated on the

Did I lose you yet? Here's an example. Imagine that one of his feats was that he once jumped across the roof of a house. Let's also say that this feat was included in one of John Little's books; heck, lets even say it's on videotape. If the exact quote from John Little's book was "Bruce once lept a

1. The fact Chuck Norris has a parody can't be even thought of as a serious argument here as it has nothing to do with Bruce's factually sourced list, if anything it is a cover for a weak case against the list. The feats section was at one time poorly referenced at the creation of this thread, it
2905:
Judging by your last edit and your comments, you appear driven to present Little's comment as something that resembles a matter of fact, by not mentioning Little's name in the article body. I trust that you will assert that the statement is non-controversial regardless of what I or other editors may
2890:. If a claim fits one of the conditions, it may be considered an exceptional claim. The youtube video shows nothing about Lee knocking a guy "across the ring", but our intepretations are our own. It points outs, if nothing else, there is no widely available evidence for Little's "15 feet" comment. 2877:
Consensus is not based on numbers, but seeking community consensus over stylistic issues is not "fishing for random editor to agree with me". This is an insulting and hostile remark because it implies that I would refuse to listen to other editors if they disagree with me, even if consensus has been
2365:
Finally, Knowledge (XXG) states that "The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting verifiable perspectives on a topic as evidenced by reliable sources." The perspectives have to be based on reliable sources, and not from YOU. Also, it is unnecessary detail to include the authors

The words legend and fly have many different meanings and applications, that is the nature of the english language, but you are trying to pigeon hole the words. For instance, Gretsky, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan's abilities and performance been called legend or legendary numerous times. Fly can

due to the punch, as may be implied by the phrase "fly and crash". With a running sidekick, it might be just barely believable, but certainly not with such a punch. The punch could cause the opponent to stumble and take numerous steps backward for balance, which would be very different from "flying

Bradford44, I was simply responding to your confusion on whether five hundredths mean't 5/100 or 1/500, and answered it by letting you know that 1/500 = one five-hundreths. Five hundreths is 5/100. The feats section is now the most heavily sourced section in this article, with 11 different sources

I noticed that in the summary of this article it states that Lee was a "homosexual", but I don't think that's true. It also doesn't make sense with the rest of the paragraph, leading me to believe that it was a mistake. However, when I went to edit it, it does not appear in the editable text. I am

There is no way the 50 one-arm chin-ups claim is accurate, and that is why the bicep-curls seem really low by comparison. The record for one-arm chins is closer to 16 if I remember correctly, and that is at least documented. I'm sure Bruce could have done quite a few - it's extremely rare to be able

This article is a blemish, among other things, it needs to delete the physical feats that appear supernatural. It's just not possible for a human being to propel a 300 pound bag into the ceiling. You could fire a howitzer into a 300 pound bag and it wouldn't lift it that far (FYI, this is also why
3729:
In any case, I am willing to compromise for clarity. If you want to put "spring", "burst", or"hurl" in parenthesis to let the reader know which definition of "fly" is being used, I wouldn't have a problem with it. "Lee caused a 235lb opponent to fly(spring) 15 feet away with a one inch punch." Or

I did mention this a few days ago Shawn. Previously I had questioned the definition of fly that was used by you and pointed out that "Fly can refer to being "passed swiftly", "To hasten; spring", or "To move suddenly, or with violence". I didn't get a response from you for that specific statement

After trying to convince me to use valid sources(I did), you would than go on to support your theory that the statement is controversial by using a non-valid You-Tube statement and a citation from a editor on this talk page. I ask for a published source(newspaper, book, magazine, etc) that proves a
3011:
On civility: I merely stated "I await input by other editors on this issue," because asking for community feedback and consensus is an official policy, but you accused me of "fishing for random editors to agree with me". The tone of that phrase is hostile and implies that I am looking for anyone who
2976:
The idea of controversy of a subject has to come from published sources. If you want to prove there is a controversy, produce a valid source that disputes the claim as false. Otherwise any editor could simply dispute a claim from any valid source and say it is controversial just because they don't
2970:
I do have high regard for published sources from the top Bruce Lee biographer, don't try to paint that as a bad thing. If I don't regard the valid sources highly, what should I regard? Unsourced opinions from some here? I am pretty sure that is not how Knowledge (XXG) is supposed to work. As for
2964:
The you-tube video doesn't conflict with the statement from Little's book because his book doesn't specify the long-beach tournament as the place the punch took place. It would be like saying the statements of "Shaq once scored 50 points", and "Shaq scored 40 points at Boston" are in conflict, when
2958:
The feat in question is widely known among the Bruce Lee community. The John Little book that cites the feat is popular in the Martial Arts genre, and the feat is listed many websites, including one with 5 million visits. If we used your definition of "widely known" as the general public at large,
2843:
Also, I find it funny you have misread the You-Tube video, you really need to read things with more objectivity. The video states "This is one of the techniques that made him famous. Legend has it that he knocked a man across the ring with the punch. Here's the real deal, no big deal after all!" It

And your comparison of this to Chuck Norris's fact just shows your complete lack of respect for sourced material. You've asked for sources, but when they've been provided, you've been nothing but hostile towards them. I count 8 different valid sources being used in that section, show me one "Chuck
2122:
Featured Articles are required to be particularly well written, and I am not surprised that one would not find too many or even any of them to contain an unordered list with seemingly random entries about feats or abilities. In any case, consensus needs to be reached first, which has yet to occur.
1940:
It would not be neutral to simply present all information which appears on a person's biography as fact when the information may be considered controversial. Instead, it would be more accurate to state that according to so-and-so this is the case. That a person weighing over 200 pounds would fly 15

The focus on this section is justified by the fact that it has been vandalized constantly. Whatever entry I reverted, I made efforts to verify that I had a valid reason in doing so. By "tall tales", I mean the clearly unsourced ones taken from fan sites. With due respect, please understand why there

The reason that I cited the full name of the individuals was becuase the information came from the bruceleedivinewind.com fan site which may not be used unless we also cite the author.

The rule gives no solution to this particular problem. Allow the problem to be solved through the natural explanation of the story of Lee's life. There is no need to pigeon-hole him into a particular category. In fact, doing so where a significant portion of his lasting contribution to society is

You're also supposed to mention ethnicity when it is relevant to the subject's notability - Surely Lee's Chinese ancestry is extremely relevant to his being passed over for tv roles, conflict with Chinese-American community for teaching Americans martial arts, and his interracial marriage, to name a

And I believe I have provided a convincing argument why introducing Bruce Lee as just "American" is problematic. Note also that I am not pushing for him to be introduced as "Chinese" or "Chinese American". I am saying we just leave out his race and nationality altogether in the leading sentences.

What did Little really mean anyway? Actually, the original wording was not "fly 15 feet" as it had been recently, but "fly and crash 15 feet", wasn't it? Now that I think about it, the dramatic choice of words aside, I suspect that the key word is not "fly" at all but "crash", implying falling to

There are many definitions of fly: "To pass by swiftly", "To hasten; spring","To move with great speed","To undergo an explosive reaction; burst". We've all heard of a statement like "John was running and he just flew past me" I could argue that statement is impossible and false because it isn't

No, that post was completely serious. I don't appreciate being accused of being insulting when I have made good faith suggestions for improving the article on the basis that its current form is informal and may invite ridicule. When I said that I was not being insulting, I specifically excepted the

The statement is simply a response to your resistance to valid sources. The fact you won't acknowledge verifiable and reliable sources is insulting to me, because that is the very thing you asked for. I provide it, the first thing you do is challenge the citation accuracy without even checking it

John Little's book is a exceptional source. He is the only one granted by the Lee family to view the totality of Bruce's notes, and records. He has been published by a exceptional publisher(former publisher of the year). The statement in his book simply a report of information he gathered. Here

The book's statement was not specifically on his punch during the taped Long Beach tournament, and likely was without the chair behind the participant as we saw in Long Beach which does kill a lot of the momentum. Lee obviously did not just perform his punch during Long Beach and did it many times

The entry about punching, in particular the "2 feet" and "five hundreths" parts need to be improved. First, it is not simply "2 feet", but between 18-24 inches or as low as 1.5 foot, and it is not simply five hundreths but as high as eight hundreths. That means, the two factors combined could lead

There are several interviews I've seen on Youtube, one with Bob Bremer in particular, that talks about the one-inch punch (Bremer recounts how Lee performed this feat upon their first meeting, which inspired him to begin taking lessons). I don't know if you want to consider checking that out as a

I've been rewriting and cleaning up some of the "Early Life" sections of Mr. Lee's article, and came across a contradiction -- at one point it is stated that he entered the La Salle College in Hong Kong at the age of 12, whereas it later states he entered it at the age of 14 instead. Could anyone

The source claims: Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks. From a standing position, Lee could hold a 125 lb (57 kg) barbell straight out. Well, the same source claims that he was: "Leaping eight feet in the air to kick out a light bulb".
3240:
Lee has no problem being taken seriously by many of the martial arts community. No less than Dana White, the President of the UFC(and now Pride), has called him the "father of MMA" I've seen multiple UFC fighters label him as a hero. Tyson and Sugar Ray Leonard both cite him as influence. He

3. John little is a secondary source. I've already stated that he is simply the reporter of the feat. John Little himself has never met Bruce in his life, and he doesn't write the feat or the book as if he was the primary source. Also, the criteria is "Surprising or apparently important claims

And you are right, John Little isn't writing about politics, but even if he was, a source would need to be produced to demonstrate the opposing view. Knowledge (XXG) is clear that "The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting verifiable perspectives on a topic as evidenced by

Nonetheless, a suggestion about presentation: why not merge this section into physical fitness? Few seem to have problems with that section, which is presented in a paragraph format. It has suffered fewer cases of vandalism. In addition, information about training would serve to make some "feats"

In short, I am not arguing for any properly published works to be disregarded. I am simply asking that, again, when presenting claims which may be considered exceptional, we explicitly mention the source of the claim in the same sentence, and either ensure that wordings conform to the neutrality
1828:
The section needs to be on based on the sources and be based on a push on your own feelings. The citation is right off the book, and I find it amusing you are challenging the citation as inaccurate without checking. The one inch punch source is from John Little's book on Bruce Lee. He is the

Lastly, about those feats above, no less that the top Bruce Lee biographer himself, John Little, has collaborated the statement of Bruce catching rice with chopsticks as training for reflexes. So I don't know how a statement of fact from the top Bruce Lee biographer can be called a "tall tale."
1690:
The striking speed feat need only include the fastest time, Bruce could also perform push-ups with 4 fingers or 30 1 hand pullups, but only his best of each feat should be included. If you have problems with a few of the video sources on the one-inch punch, you can remove them, but the statement

Thanks i didn't know these facts. Ok my bad on the typo "kung fu/kata". To attack someones credibility from a simple error is rather uncalled for as your quite wrong I've trained a wide range of martial arts over the years and to be honest i dont think ive ever seen anyone use Tai Chi in any real

I'm pretty sure he wasn't a Negro. A lot of the Physical Feats are within the grasp of a serious athlete, and a couple of them are obviously untrue. A lot of Hong Kong martial arts films of the 1970s were indeed speeded up. Of course a faster fps speed would make the other actors look slower.
96:
Shouldn't it be "Alleged Physical Feats"? I thought the too fast for the camera thing was just a myth, and the real situation was that all martial artists had to slow down when they shot scenes very close to the camera, as from that distance, the moves would look too fast to be appreciated by the

And if you want to convince people you are not here to deprecate Lee, you certainly didn't help your case by trying to call it fancruft, which is highly insulting. Bruce's feats are not only mentioned in most of his books, but almost all of his biographies. Including A&E's biography, Linda
3021:
I recognize your position: you have no unease about accepting Little's statement as literal fact, as you trust the perceived quality and neutrality of Little's work, and you do not consider the statement to be an "exceptional" claim. You have put forth your own reasons as to why, to which I will
2885:
As for the definition of the exceptional claim and exceptional source, there has been no consensus that Little's statements of someone "flying and crashing 15 feet" is not exceptional, nor is there consensus that Little's book is an exceptional source. The subjective interpretation you provided
2797:
The claim is widely known as it is published in a popular Bruce Lee book, and even on the largest Bruce Lee website on the net. It is obviously not a report of a recent event, so scratch that. It is not a statement out of character, embarrassing, contraversial(no sources exist that dispute the

Have sources been added that make the section better than it was? Yes. Is there policy that an article is to present claims in sources verbatim, as matters of fact? No. The Verifiability policy states that "exceptional claims require exceptional sources. All articles must adhere to Knowledge
2285:
There are no conflicting sources, you don't have a single conflicting source except your own feelings. Bruce did many of the same feats in front of different people, and often didn't do them exactly the same. Slightly different accounts are not conflicting unless they are referring to the same

I don't mind reverts of the vandals, but when you revert sourced entries and even delete the sources individually without a valid reason, that will obviously not be acceptable. Also, my inclusion of "3 feet" rather than "2 feet" was not erroneous as the website states "3 feet." It is the first

You are using a bit of a straw man argument there, I see no mention above of the list format, just some objections to the contents(which I've worked to address, with sources). One of them has not even tried to hide their strong bias in their language either. There are plenty of biographies with

From the discussions above, many users clearly have had issues with the section in its present format. Having a random list format contributes to this bad impression. How many Featured biographies have an unordered, ungrouped list about some person's "feats"? At the current state, I doubt this
1566:
Also many of your other edits in the section appear very random and it is making the section look sloppy. You are bunching up the items illogically when a list should have a separate bullet after each new feat. Also, a concise statement of the feat is sufficient. Information such as "When Lee

Well, most of what you object to are documented facts and can be found in the sources cited; such as Lee collapsing steel protected headgear, catching rice midair, and punching at five hundredths of a second. I agree though that some of the latest edits do need some sources such as the claim of

Another source claims: Lee could spring a 235 lb (107 kg) opponent 15 feet (4.6 metres) away with a 1 inch punch. Wow, if that was true he could have made a world record in shot put. If Bruce Lee could do such a physical feat, why didn't they use in his his movies?
