[edit]This is an elegantly-structured and cited article and I shall have few comments to make on it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you!--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- The "1890 map" does not make it at all easy to see the Mahāvihāra, or the Mahavihara as it is labelled, very small. Perhaps if you asked me nicely I would make an .SVG with a red circle overlaid on the map; other solutions are possible.
- That'll be great! I would very much appreciate that. I am not familiar with making SVGs.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Done.
- The "Painting of the First Council, India" should ideally have provenance, artist, and (approximate) date in the caption. Even "20th century mural" would be an improvement.
Searching......--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Done. From searching on Google, it seems the paintings were made and installed between 1983 and 1997. So i've given a rough time indication in the caption to that effect.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 05:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Not totally sure I see why we need an image of Tao-hsüan; perhaps the caption could briefly summarize the text which explains the connection, something like "The Chinese Vinaya school co-founded by Tao-hsüan attempted to continue Upāli's lineage."
- Is there any good reason why Andrew Huxley is repeatedly redlinked (text and references)?
- I noticed quite extensive obituaries were written about him, but I haven't checked him against SCHOLAR criteria yet.
- From these obituaries[1][2] and other websites, I gather he was sufficiently notable for his own Wiki article. (But I won't lose my sleep over it, since I once listened to the lecture in which he completely degraded TW Rhys Davids, and it seems to me he was just an arrogant Oxford don with no respect for his predecessors.)--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 00:57, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- You have redlinked H.W. Schumann. You could use an interlanguage link to de:Hans Wolfgang Schumann on German wiki.
- I thought I did that. Is it incorrectly formatted?--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:43, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, I meant in the citation. I've removed the plain redlink; I saw somewhere the template to use an interlanguage link in a citation but can't find it.
I think we're all done. This is a worthy Good Article. Passing it now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:13, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your input... and help!--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:35, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
