Also, major edits needed. Ill try to work on cleaning this page up later. Anathapindika is a fairly important person in Buddhism. Wikiman5676 (talk) 07:39, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and downgraded as we speak.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 08:30, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted the content and wrote a whole new page. while not the best quality it's certainly better than before. I'll try to find ways to improve it gradually. Wikiman5676 (talk) 05:37, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In fairness to the previous editors, it should be stated here that the previous content that has now been blanked did not constitute any form of copyright infringement, as the content was copied from a source that is in public domain, that is the Dictionary of Pali Proper Names by Malalasekera. However, there were serious issues with the organization of the text as Wikiman5676 already pointed out.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 15:10, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
