Neutrality issues

I have added a neutrality template as the article as it stands is evidently biased against the Theravāda school, and seeks to disparage the school. Also an accurate account of that school's description of Devadatta based on the original sources was deleted, and replaced with an unsourced and derogotary remark.

I agree with this, and I have removed the unsourced material that is biased against Theravada. I have also reorganized the article to divide scholarship and historical material from the views of any particular sect, giving Theravada its own section, separate from the research on the Mahasamghika Vinaya and the accounts of the Chinese pilgrims.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Devadatta. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Please add a birth religion

According to Jacob Kinnard's book. Buddhism emerged from Sanātana Dharma. ^[1] But according to Levman Shakyas & Koliyas had no religion. So, it's better to leave the religion section in the info box blank. Usoejw9 (talk) 16:35, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
