== External links modified ==
==PoV allegation==
It is obvious this article is biased and written by a fan or a group of people affiliated with the man discussed. Therefore the POV tag has been added.
:It is more obvious that this ongoing slagging of the individual is being conducted by the group (www.russianmartialart.com) wishing to defame him. It's obvious they're disputing this literal history in order try and somehow discredit the individual in question, as they have an obvious history of doing so just be doing a google search. {{unsigned|B-ham}}


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
:Please do not speculate on other editors' motives, see [[WP:AGF]] and [[WP:NPA]]. The article reads like an advertisement, and quotes exactly zero external verifiable sources for any of this. It needs to establish the [[WP:N|notability]] of the subject using [[WP:V|verifiable]] [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. And the adspeak has to go... I tagged it with a couple of cleanup tags to show the article is work in progress; that should give the article a bit of time so we can see if there is any hope it can be improved.

I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Scott Sonnon]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=701053213 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
:False, I originally wrote the article (but it looks like it was originally deleted and recreated since I last checked) and I'm not affiliated nor a major fan (though I do like some of his ideas). I mean honestly, you don't accuse fans of Shakespeare for writing the Shakespeare article. Furthermore, anyone can edit in criticism. [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] 20:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' to let others know.
==Student of Systema?==
The article says he studied under Alexey Kadochnikov, the founder of Kadochnikov Systema, therefore implying that he studied Kadochnikov Systema, and yet Sonnon '''himself''' says in [http://www.themartialist.com/pecom/softwork.htm this] interview: "''have no idea what any "Systema’ teaches and, frankly, I don't care''" therefore he didn't study systema. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/70.17.135.140|70.17.135.140]] ([[User talk:70.17.135.140|talk]]) 04:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
:When Sonnon says this he is referring to [[Ryabko's Systema]]. He also makes it clear in the article that he in fact trained [[ROSS]]; which as we all know branched out from [[Kadochnikov Systema]]. The point he is trying to make is that his work is unique. However, the fact still remains he has a connection to Systema. --[[User:Mista-X|Mista-X]] 03:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


{{sourcecheck|checked=false}}
==Is it propaganda?==
I do not like the article about Mr. Sonnon. IMHO I think Wikipedia is paying too much honor and fame to a normal guy. He is not an Olympic athlete, a famous actor, a scientist, a war hero. He is just a martial trainer.--[[User:jackjack|jackjack]] 20:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
:A normal guy? He's a world champion in two different martial arts, a multiple time USA National Team Coach, multiple time author, producer, Ultimate Fighting Championship conditioning and sport psychology coach, an inventor with multiple patents in strength equipment, a prolific publisher featured in many magazines and covers, an inductee into the martial art hall of fame and the fitness hall of fame. That's hardly normal. --[[User:B-ham|B-ham]] 1 November 2007 (UTC)
::All of those things may be true, but the [[WP:N|notability]] criteria here requires [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] to substantiate those claims ... find some citations '''independent''' of the subject's own website, ''i.e.'', from responsible, main-stream publications ... see [[Wikipedia:No original research]] and [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] if you are unclear about the concept of [[WP:A|Attribution]] ... Happy Editing! &mdash;{{User|72.75.79.128}} 21:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
:::The references above did indeed have independent literary sources cited in the wiki before it was blotted out. I understand (now) that attribution must be independent of the wiki topic, but not only were those points erased, but all points even those with properly [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]]. Can it be repaired? --[[User:B-ham|B-ham]] 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The source on this is from the subject's website; so a better source is needed. --[[User:Mista-X|Mista-X]] ([[User talk:Mista-X|talk]]) 04:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
==Sonnon's [[master of sport]]==
[[Russkisambofederation]], Sonnon's own site says [[Honourable Master of Sport]], which was awarded by the [[AASF]]. If you have information that proves the contrary over this, please present it before undoing my revisions with seemingly no forethought.

I have just modified 2 external links on [[Scott Sonnon]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=759722683 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
==References/highlights==
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20111003231126/http://www.evliving.com/2008/11/23/free-to-move-scott-sonnon/ to http://www.evliving.com/2008/11/23/free-to-move-scott-sonnon/
I noticed that a lot of these did have URLs for references. Some of them were not properly ref-tagged so I added those. Some of the ref tags are repetetive though, but I don't know how to do that special thing where you direct to the same source multiple times in a page. I notice someone did that a couple times so if you could also do it for the ones I added [ref][/ref] to that would be helpful.
*Added {{tlx|dead link}} tag to http://www.personaltrainerhalloffame.com/member_profile.php?uid=518&value=1
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070927202526/http://www.usadojo.com/biographies/scott-sonnon.htm to http://www.usadojo.com/biographies/scott-sonnon.htm


When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
There are a lot of different organizations listed in the article and in the 'career highlights'. In particular, the three halls of fame are listed in both. Since they are already listed in the highlights, would anyone be adverse to removing them from the 'training' section introduction? It's a bit repetetive, and while they are more recent events than the other highlights, I don't see why they stand out more than the other accomplishments so as to be specially mentioned, especially since it is in the same section. It is also strange because they are listed first, normally you would list the oldest events first and the more recent ones last. So, if somebody agrees then please remove that since it is already on the list (which someone arranged in chronological order, so it's easier to understand).


{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}}
In general, despite the references, I know very little about these various organizations and teams which are listed. I turned them into links to encourage people who know about them to find references and to create Wikipedia articles for them. Keep in mind that they will probably be targeted for removal by deletionists so please only create an article after having acquired proper references which can be immediately incorporated to secure an article's future. If these terms do not warrant articles it would be helpful to redirect them to other articles (perhaps a 'list of' article) which mentions it in a short summary along with similar organizations. I just think it is strange that if these things are being used as sources of notability that they don't have articles themself.

I can understand that SS is perhaps more well known than any single one of these, but these things may have rich histories (perhaps they have articles in the language of the countries' specific origins?) and may be linked to other notable people in the martial arts or police/military worlds who similarly refer to them but have no article to link to.
