[edit] Kettlebell Videos
Hello, I have tried several times to offer up a great external link to a collection of instructional/introductory online kettlebell videos. These videos come from some of the best kettlebell instructors (with permission) without promoting one style of kb training over another. Here is the link:
Online Video Gallery of Kettlebell Exercises
Perhaps I've broken wikipedia protocol, but a person by the name of Karuna8 keeps deleting this link as spam (and even "aggressive spam!"). It strikes me that maybe I'm not supposed to be posting anything here without someone like Karuna (who might be an approved editor or something?). If that is the case, I would ask that Karuna8 add this non-spam, free resource to the list. Or at least offer some reasons why this link keeps getting rejected? --Kbjeff (talk) 21:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] A worthy source?
http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,645195431,00.html News article, mentions "kettlebells, or the martial art of strength training". Anomo 01:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Can we get a better picture?
An ancient b/w picture of a guy in a speedo lifting a dumbbell who also happens to be holding a kettlebell that he isn't using doesn't seem to be the best picture. --Karuna8 22:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
He's going to use that kettlebell. http://www.americanpowerliftevolution.net/2handsanyhowpage.html
- Ok, but on an article about running, I expect to see someone actually running, not about to run. On a kettlebell page, I expect to see someone actually lifting a kettlebell. --Karuna8 14:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
Please only add external links in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines, which can be found at Wikipedia:External links. --Karuna8 17:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
The spamming on this page has gotten ridiculous, but I do think that an external link to some pictures or videos that demonstrate what people actually do with kettlebells would be helpful. There is nothing in the article (nor room for it) that describes the various exercises and it certainly isn't obvious. --Karuna8 14:54, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Karuna8, I agree whole-heartedly. The lack of videos and tiny bit of text in this entry fail to do anyone any good in terms of understanding kettlebells. That is why I placed the external link to the liftkettlebells.com video gallery. However, I see that you have been deleting this link????? I think it's an important resource to offer people.--Kbjeff (talk) 18:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please consider adding this link
Based on the following statement in the policy, "You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked. If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it.", please examine and consider allowing kettlebell.com to remain as a resource link to this entry. On examination, you will see that it is full of high-quality training articles for kettlebells. This is not a spam site. There aren't even any products for sale on the site. It is an important resource and has been a kettlebell resource for years now. Some of the other links that seem to remain on this wiki page are blatantly commercial... however they somehow continue to stay on the site. It only makes sense that kettlebell.com should be considered a legitimate resource. Please consider the site for accepted and permanent entry on this page. Thanks.
[edit] History
I'd like to see more info about the history of this thing. –anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.17.199.113 (talk) 14:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
