(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I choose this article by random. I did think it would be interesting read about Buddhist studies though as we have talked a little bit about it in my ethics class.

Overall, this article ended up being very short. I gave good knowledge of the topic to start off with but I feel as though if I really needed to do something with this I would need to look up more information on the topic. The article has a neutral standpoint it pretty much states facts. The article is organized and easy to read. On the talk page the only talk is of someone wanting to merge Buddhology into Buddhist studies. The article's sources are both scholarly and backed up. This article is good I feel as though there could be a bit more detail throughout it.
