Spam

ok could someone remove the EmbryInc ad that doesn't even work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.151.244.42 (talk) 16:48, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Belts

It probably would make sense to refer the belt system to Judo rather than Karate, as the martial arts belt system was developed by Jigoro Kano for Judo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_belt_(martial_arts) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.157.30.186 (talk) 08:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

8 wastes

It'll probably help make sense to explain the 8 wastes rather than putting them down simply as bullet points.All Mighty Lee (talk) 18:54, 18 April 2018 (UTC) ^[1]^[2][reply]

References

I've reformatted this to match WP:TPG and to be consistent with other talk pages.

Neither of those sources are reliable by Wikipedia's standards. Do you have access to any sources that aren't blogs from certification providers? Grayfell (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing future

I will be changing the the formatting of the English and Japanese terms while defining the terms. As well as making a new sections defining the waste better as well as mentioning Lean thinking and Six Sigma and how they combined to make the Lean Six Sigma we know. I will also update the sources page with my source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.CLC (talk • contribs) 14:25, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr.CLC: You added citations from a book but we could really use the respective page numbers to make it easier to verify the info. Also, it would help if you avoid using sources from pro-L6 partisans and try to incorporate dissenting views. We want to maintain neutrality and avoid turning this article into advertising.
