Mistakes on Deleting Information about Buddhism in Singapore
Hi JimRenge,

Thank you for your efforts to ensure information in Wiki is true and correct.

I have included many information that is very relevant in the context of Singapore, for examples, information about various temples, monasteries, education institutions etc, which are provided in the hardcopy Buddhist magazines but not available online in English. Hence I wish to include all these information.

Even for the history of Buddhism, they are gleaned from Wiki as well but in summarized form and relevant to the context of Singapore.

You will also notice that these information are not created by my own but it's consistent with the existing knowledge in Buddhism.

I am one of the youth Dharma communities in Singapore who wish to propagate Dharma in Singapore. All these information and links included are relevant and important for our Dharma propagation in Singapore.

You will also notice that the information in Buddhism in Singapore is very lacking. It seems there are some people who are only interested in including negative news such as misbehaviors or criminal to smear the good reputation of Buddhism in Singapore. They even encourage people to insert more scandals. This is not acceptable. In fact, these information are not as crucial as the ones that I have included, which are critical information in the context of Singapore.

We are both Buddha's disciple wishing to spread the Buddha's teachings. I hope you will understand my good intention behind the great efforts to improve the information in the Wiki. If there is anything I need to improve with regards to my editing, I welcome your guidance and assistance. Look forward to work with you.

I would appreciate if you revert the page to the one I have created.

Many thanks and loving-kindness, Lotus Joy


 * Lotus Joy, I have reverted your edits because


 * wp articles about "Buddhism in country X" are not intended to inform about Buddhism or buddhist schools in general but about Buddhism in the specific country (Singapore).
 * the lists of organizations did not provide context (WP:NOTDIRECTORY). Reliably sourced (secondary sources: mainstream newspapers, academic Journals and books) information about the development and activities of buddhists and buddhist organizations in Singapore would be helpful.


 * You asked for advice: Try to find high quality secondary sources (WP:RS)and summarize what they say about the topic. The bibliography section of the article contains some potentially useful sources. Consider to visit a university library if you can not find high quality sources on the internet (for example Google scholar, Google books). Do not try to propagate Budddhism in wikipedia (WP:NOT promotion, WP:NPOV). Please do not forget to log in and use only one account (WP:SOCK). Best regards  JimRenge (talk) 22:49, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
