Untitled[edit]

Needs a better introductory sentence, to give some context. I'd do it but I barely understand what this is about. ike9898 04:02, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Double Dutch?[edit]

I suggest replacing the phrase:"....,and placed second in his category." for "..., and ended on the second place in his category." The first sentence is not entirely wrong but very much double Dutch.

Books written by Anton Geesink[edit]

Anton Geesink has written several books about Judo, according to my knowledge. These should be added. Wereldburger758 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.166.73.101 (talk) 16:45, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of the correction I made, and question[edit]

I slightly modified the claim about the three living 10th dan kodanshas recognized by Kodokan as to make it unambiguous. Anyway, is it relevant at all? Perhaps a separate page with the list of all 10th dan holders would be in order. Blazar 17:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed trivia[edit]

Removed one of two trivia for two reasons:

No source available
Unlikely since they were living in different parts of the city

He was 6'6" (1.98m) tall[edit]

That sounds like he's dead. His weight may have varied over the years since, but has his height varied too? He's still alive, as far as I know, and he probably STILL is 1.98 m tall... 68.200.98.166 (talk) 01:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, he's pretty much dead. Shouldn't you be training instead of editing Wikipedia? And yes, when people get older they often get shorter. You need to get out more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.50 (talk) 02:41, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
