 * Thank You very much for Your messages and advices. I am sorry for having submitted the clumsy and unreferenced article. I was actually not quite sure what 'submitting' and 'publishing' mean in the world of wikipedia. Now I understand...
 * I keep on improving the article with adding content and references and hope to be able to submit it sometime soon, hopefully before the end of the year at least...
 * Thank you again for the feedback and for all! Lepke99 (talk) 13:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Maylingoed. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Bairin-ji (Kurume) seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. mAyLiNgOeEd  (Talk to me!🗣️) (See what else I did on Wikipedia!!📜)  03:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Dear Maylingoed,
 * Thank you for having reviewed my additions to the Bairin-ji page and for your kind feedback.
 * Last year I stayed at that temple for several months and that is when the youtube videos were made that I felt could be useful to include at the external link section as they show angles of the temple from points that can be very rarely visited, perhaps one time a month, for the open public.
 * As for the short paragraph that was included under the history section I would like to provide the below explanation:
 * The current content of the wikikpedia article shows the temple more from the aspect of the building itself and its surroundings. However from the zen Buddhist point of view there is very little mention. I believe that including the names of the famous people who have lived and trained there including their stories would be a useful addition that people who would like to go there and try experiencing meditation there would find it useful and informative.
 * The content that I have added as a second paragraph is supported by facts. I was in the process of adding a reference to it. It may be my mistake that I have clicked publish before adding the reference. I would kindly ask you to read a few pages or even just one page (starting from page 99 or 100) from book Living and Dying in Zazen by Arhur Braverman (he also has a wiki page) at https://terebess.hu/zen/mesterek/living.pdf where there is detailed and very factual record of the harshness of the zen training at Bairinji temple. There also the word violence is used several times. In fact here and also in the paragraph that was removed the word violence'' is not used in a negative way as the monk writes in his records that it has helped him.
 * I feel that the parts that were deleted are based on fact and they can also be regarded as neutral.
 * The violence many monks in training experienced there and other temples is a historical facts that are supported by several records such as the one I have referred to and what I was about to include as a reference.
 * It is widely known that at the beginning of the 20th century there were a lot of harshness in Japan and the zen temples were also places that were not exempt from this.
 * I would kindly ask you to take the points I have mentioned into consideration and take a few minutes to read a few pages of the book to which the link is included.
 * It is possible I need also take some consideration how and what to ad to that article, but I very much feel that there is much information to be added there. Just to mention that the former abbot of the famous Kenninji temple in Kyoto used to train at Bairinji would also be something important to share I belive (this was also mentioned with a link to a wikipage to Kenninji in the short paragraph that was deleted).
 * Thank you very much for your kind consideration!
 * Kind regards,
 * lepke99 Lepke99 (talk) 04:57, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello Maylingoed,
 * Thank You again for your feedback.
 * Would you be as kind as to provide some explanation why all the additions to the Bairin-ji page were deleted.
 * I understand your concern about neutrality, however in this case the added information was not a personal opinion. At the same time I understand that there was no reference included so there was no way to check where that information came from and it was a natural assumption from your side that it is someone's personal somewhat biased opinion.
 * It would be useful for me to know in more detail what your concerns were when deleting the added paragraph as well as the three videos that are sights of the garden of Bairin Temple.
 * Buddhist Temples like Bairinji are educational institutions and for this reason I believe that including information on people who have been part of this unique and traditional form of spiritual education would be a useful addition to the current page.
 * The videos are also more lively, perhaps more human than the pictures and they can give the viewer a feeling that they are there in the garden and looking around.
 * The wikipages of temples like Bairinji were most likely created by the local tourist office This means someone was given as a payed job to create the pages where the cultural assets and other things that are believed to enhance tourism needed to be inclued. However there are much more aspects to these cultural and spiritual places. My contribution is a wish to provide a balance by including these aspects.
 * I am looking forward to exchange messages with you.
 * Kind Regards,
 * Have a nice day, Lepke99 (talk) 22:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

 * Thank you for the quick response and explanation why the page got nominated for quick deletion. I would like to make change the text using my own words and other sources as well. I only meant this page as a bases for further work.
 * Not sure if this way the page could escape being deleted. (?) Lepke99 (talk) 19:33, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Copying text and then altering the words results in a derivative work which is still a copyright violation. You need to write the article in your own words, and not copy the words from a source and change it. -- Whpq (talk) 20:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I belive I have used my own words with the added part in question. Did not even look at the article for two days just wrote what I could remember about how that artwork in particular was created. Thank you for having drawn my attention to the importance of copyrighted materials. I am wondering if this time the part that was added is only in its essence similar to the article in the reference. Thank You for your work on this and have a nice day 🙏 Lepke99 (talk) 03:41, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
