Talk:Pressure point

NPOV

It appears that some sections of this article are written without proper NPOV. It seems as though in some cases, hostility is directed at those who misunderstand the concept. I am referring here to the use of all capital letters and other elements of tone. This needs to be edited to reflex an appropriate encyclopedic style. JWAbrams (talk) 20:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Merge

I've merged the article with Acupuncture point, since they are the same thing with different translation. Yao Ziyuan 14:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

DO NOT MERGE. There have been several attempts to merge this article or to divert it. This is wrong - as acupuncture points are only a subset of pressure points. If you read the article you will see this. Therefore, DO NOT MERGE. ThirteenthGreg 06:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Identical article

There are two indentical articles about pressure points can this one be delted as the other has more and up to date information or redirection to this or the other article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.24.139 (talk) 20:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Reliable Sources and Citations Are Needed

Added a unreferenced tag to the page due to the lack of reliable sources and lack of citations. MastaFighta (talk) 19:06, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Major re-write

There have been so many bit-edits over the last few months, and vandalism, that the article lost its flow. Also it was almost completely unreferenced. I have thus rewritten much of it, making repairs, updating content, adding references - hopefully it's a better and more reliable read. To make it easier for you to review, I have tried to do it in section. ThirteenthGreg (talk) 14:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

It appears that it's now an advertisement for a martial arts website. Perhaps another re-write removing the website as the only source would be helpful--Ted Apr 20 2008

Discussion within the article

Regarding the major rewriting, user Bemiller, signing his changes "BOM," had made several modifications to the article that directly contradicted the existing text. Rather than changing the article, however, he had simply added his contradictory text below whatever he was contradicting. I have made an effort to merge the data he provided with the existing text. Please feel free to (a) correct the improper referencing style left over from BOM's comments, (b) correct any misinformation still present (don't forget to reference!).

I also better organized the discussion page. john factorial (talk) 21:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Not Pressure Points?

What is the sensation I get when I scrape the bottom of my foot at the top of my arch and feel it in my toes, or scrape my side and feel strange in my leg, is this pressure points or something else?
