Reference to Kwan Kung Chung Yi Temple stub

Question to the user who edited the above stub. You mention that this temple is on Chung Chau. Please could you explain where on Chung Chau so I can try and visit it? Many thanks User:pavillion32 07:57, 28 October 2007 (BST)

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Buddhism/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject Buddhism/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 01:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

FLC of List of National Treasures of Japan (temples)

I invite comments, questions and suggestions for the featured list candidacy of List of National Treasures of Japan (temples). The nomination page can be found here. bamse (talk) 08:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The article has been listed as "FLCs of special note" because it has not received enough reviews yet. It is therefore in danger of failing for formal reasons (not enough reviews). I hope that somebody from the project has the time to review it. The criteria it should be checked against are found here and the review comments should go here.bamse (talk) 08:51, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Req for Comments re Buddhism/Hinduism differences in Personalities

To: Project_Hinduism and Project_Buddhism participants,

NOTE re LOCATION: I am putting this message here because I couldn't find a noticeboard at Project_Buddhism; please feel free to move this to a more appropriate location if one exists (my apologies if this is a bad place!) Health Researcher (talk) 15:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Friends, there's been a recent conversation at Talk:Buddhism_and_Hinduism about whether that page should have a new subsection that describes major differences between Hindu and Buddhist figures who have the same name. These might be either humans or devas. For example,

• Dhritarashtra is

a human king in Hinduism (see Dhritarashtra), and

a heavenly king/protector in Buddhism (see Dhṛtarāṣṭra)

Similarly,

• Yama is somewhat different in

Hinduism (see Yama_(Hinduism)) and

Buddhism (see Yama_(Buddhism_and_Chinese_mythology))

We don't know if enough cases exist to warrant a new subsection, so our primary question is:

Q1: Which figures might be most enlightening to examine in such a subsection?

Once we get more of a sense of the differences, then it'll become worthwhile to consider Q2: Does this merit a separate subsection? So if you get a chance, please drop by and post your thoughts at:

Talk:Buddhism_and_Hinduism
