Please don’t bite me, I’m a newbie!
I’m a university student in a Wikipedia Education class, and I’m currently learning how to contribute to Wikipedia.
I am approaching my subject in good faith.
If you have any concerns or questions, my tutor’s name is Sun_jess (talk · contribs). Thanks!

Spiritual philosophy
[edit]First: did you see my edit summary? You added material in new sections that fit well in already established sections, so I merged some of this in.
Second: some material you added fit poorly or was not well-explained. Examples:
- The spirituality of individuals is greatly influenced by the beliefs and teachings, inspired by disillusionment therein (Inglehart and Baker, 2000).
- What or whose beliefs and teachings? Is all spirituality really the product of disillusionment; this is an extraordinary claim.
- Western philosophy does not solely rely on religion, rather it explores the reaction to Western religion ideologies along with ideas of politics, science and mathematics (Burtt, 1953). Unlike Western philosophy, Eastern philosophy relies heavily on the teachings and beliefs of Eastern religions (Burtt, 1953).
- This text refers to philosophy, not spirituality.
Third: when citing books, please give page numbers so the citations can be useful. This also allows editors to check your research.
Also, something to watch out for is that some material had grammatical errors. Examples:
- "Western religion ideologies" should read "Western religious ideologies",
- The origins of spiritual philosophy in Hinduism is ambiguous needs to be corrected for verb agreement.
This is not normally a sufficient reason to remove edits, but you should be careful when introducing text, as significant numbers of grammatical errors may diminish editors' willingness to put effort into correcting other problems that exist
Finally, a technical point: remember to sign all talk page contributions with four tildes: ~~~~. This will add your user name as a link.Clean Copytalk 19:56, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
