You have clearly put a significant amount of effort into improving the article on Zhanshan Temple. However, unfortunately your edit does not conform to some of Wikipedia's policies, and may soon be deleted. In your edit summary you state "This information is based on my personal visit to the temple on 4 June 2009". However, Wikipedia requires that edits are based on verifiable information which has been published in reliable sources, and an editor's statement that they know facts from persoanl experience is not enough. In fact including information based only on your own observation is against Wikipedia policy: you can find out more at Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought and at No original research. At the moment I am not deleting your material, to give you or someone else a chance to find suitable published sources to support it, but you should realise that the material is likely to be removed if such sources are not found.
