See also: Wikipedia:Manual of style See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Korea-related articles) See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles)

There is a vast profusion of martial arts and therefore of martial arts lore, most of which has only been written about in the last few decades, and often not by academic scholars. So the same thing can have many names and each name can have many spellings, making reading difficult. One of the goals of this project is to standardize, to some extent, spelling and usage of various words.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or conventions:

    We all have known
    Good critics, who have stamped out poet’s hopes;
    Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state;
    Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause;
    Good kings, who disembowelled for a tax;
    Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy;
    Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs;
    And damned the general world for standing up.—
    Now, may the good God pardon all good men!
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
