I've tried to remove possible "fluff" words and phrasing from this article, e.g., rewording most sentences as: "Year, event." Thus, I'd like to remove the advert tag inserted on top of this article in May[1]. If there is still work to be done regarding this, could someone please address this here? (I'll post the editor who inserted the advert tag regarding this request momentarily.) Thanks so much, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 04:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been about three days and the editor who inserted the "advert tag" has made over a hundred edits since this query has been posted here and on his/her talk page, but no response has been made here. Given that user's activity, in accordance with WP policy, I'm assuming they (as well as no one else) has any on-going concerns. So I'm going to remove the advert tag. If one is inclined to (re-)add it, please identify specific reasons here. Thanks so much, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 02:33, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's currently[2] a {{Citations missing|date=October 2007}} tag on this article. I know there are few (if any) cited sources currently being used that would meet WP:RS standards, but given the contemporary nature and stubby length of this current article, are the current citations sufficient? If not, please identify additional expectations regarding citations here — so they can be checked off or respected by future editors. Thanks so much!

It's been about three days. This article currently has about ten citations (some referenced multiple times) for seven paragraphs: I'm thinking this is enough. So, I'm gonna remove the citations-missing tag. If anyone seriously disagrees, please revert and provide specific reasons for doing so here. Thanks so much, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 02:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Using an interview with Bhikkhu Bodhi from newspaper, the Brooklyn Vanguard^[1], I plan to add information about his earlier life. Specifically, about how he got interested in buddhism, and details about where he worked before attending college. A commentary of a Bhikkhu Bodhi's commentary by Jones, D.T^[2] also gives some nice information about Bhikkhu Bodhi, in terms of his Pali translations, and the general lens that he views texts through.

Changing his occupation to just scholar monk, and putting all of his organizations under title, to increase clarity. Right now there is not a clear division between these categories. Also, the Buddhist Foundation for Global Relief is mentioned only very briefly, and I plan to expand on this in the career and introduction, using the webpage from the actual organization. Also I will link this if there is a page up for this. This article also mentions the Yin Shun foundation, under based in. I am not sure why, I will see if I can find anything, otherwise I plan to delete this.

Additionally, I want to add a couple sentences about his address to the UN, as this is one of his most significant things he has done. Including linking the transcript.^[3]

Although I will add around 200 words to various parts, and plan to add around 3 sources.

I am totally open to suggestions and critiques, if anyone has some.
