NPOV

@User:Fujimann: This edit is unsourced and needs rephrasing because it can not be said in Wikipedias voice (Nichiren Shoshu adherents believe that ...). Please add a reliable source and rephrase to comply with WP:NPOV and WP:V. Thanks JimRenge (talk) 16:52, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, Wikipedia is neither pulpit nor pew. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:53, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I restore the multiple issue is that no one have do a proper evaluation on the article. Oshwah, please do a proper evaluation before removing the tag. Kelvintjy (talk) 08:40, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is in very bad shape regarding verifiable, third-party, NPOV sources. I've done my best to search for NPOV sources, but cannot find any other than the few that are already listed in the reference section. Until someone can offer any additional valid sources, I've removed the references that were listed from Nichiren Shoshu's official websites, since those are not appropriate sources for the material on Wikipedia. Nihonjimu (talk) 22:16, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good work, Nihonjimu, but please take into account WP:TAGBOMBING.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 12:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously -- citations

This article would be about one third as long if all the un-referenced and self-referenced statements were removed.But that would have the effect of rendering what's left void of context and virtually unintelligible. It's been pointed out, long ago, that this problem exists and that the article is largely original research. Would any of the original editors please fix this? --Daveler16 (talk) 18:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Buddhist" to "Nichiren Shoshu"

Changed the name of the "doctrine" section from "Buddhist Doctrine" to "Nichiren Shoshu Doctrine". It starts out placing Nichiren Shoshu's doctrines in the realm of previous Buddhist thought, but then goes into doctrines that are not shared by other Buddhist schools. I think this is more accurate. --Daveler16 (talk) 21:45, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Names of expelled groups

I am very sorry to be controversial, but the translated names of the three expelled groups are not referenced, and they are not even supported by dictionary definitions. They actually seem to be an attempt to translate the names by changing the individual kanji characters into English, and these groups don't actually use these names when describing themselves in English. Thus I've removed the translated names again. I've left the Japanese kanji names in there since the other editor put them back when I removed them before. If the translated names must also be added back, could the editor kindly add a reference for the translation? Thank you in advance. PeepleLikeYou (talk) 02:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of material not supported by reference

An anonymous editor keeps inserting this but it is clearly not what the reference says. The reference supports some of the text but does not support the assertion that the sect is "known for vehemently opposing". Even when corrected, the anon keeps putting it back. What to do here?
