A new article, Abbot (Buddhism)

I started this article today because the link Abbot takes you to an article which is only about abbots in Christian monasteries. As a result that article had been tagged as having a POV problem for a few years. I decided to change that by creating a new article. I am by no means an expert on abbots in Buddhism, but I made a start. I would appreciate if people would at least look over the short article and maybe add some well-sourced info as needed. Thanks very much, Invertzoo (talk) 21:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I cleaned up the formatting on the references and added a few more. [1]. I will try to add more content soon. Thanks for starting the article. Helpsome (talk) 19:44, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Anyone here interested in...

maybe helping me to some degree with copyediting the material from the Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics onto wikisource? It is a huge work (I think a review said it was twice as many words as the later Eliade Encyclopedia of Religion), but it unfortunately for me uses a lot of non-English characters, and I have trouble even recognizing most of them, barring a few Greek. Some of that material is, clearly, dated, but for a lot of topics, particularly including what might be called religious and anthropological ones, it can provide a great deal of information which we can include here? I have been doing a little off-wiki in terms of proofreading some pages, but, unfortunatley, wikisource tends to prefer our using .djvu files as bases for indexes, and even though those files are available at archive.org and elsewhere, being the technological illiterate I am after several months I still can't get my bloody .djvu reader to work, which I would need to do to be able to upload the files.

New article

Somebody may want to check Sanskrit Buddhist literature, article is decisive and might have missed some of the key information in terms of dating, texts, etc. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 12:47, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Draft:List of Buddhist Suttas

I created an extensive list of Buddhist Suttas. The list was derived from a wide range of sources, though I only cited 2 references because they are the only online sources I could find with the actual content of the suttas. I submitted the draft article for review and it was declined as being "unsourced", despite the fact that about 90% of Wikipedia lists are "unsourced" and not contested.

The list has been resubmitted and needs reliable sources. I will add what I can, but my work schedule does not permit much time for editing these days. If someone could help me do this I would greatly appreciate and as this list would greatly enhance Wikipedia where Buddhism is concerned, I am hoping some of you would be willing to contribute. Thanks in advance. Ormr2014 | Talk  15:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
