Discussion of the good-article nomination

[edit]

I have next to no experience in determining good articles, and absolutely no background with regard to Zen (nor any other type of Buddhism, for that matter). Nonetheless, the one thing I notice that doesn't seem to fit with the GAs I've seen is the gallery. It doesn't seem that appropriate or necessary, and as it appears to show those currently at the school, it would need continual monitoring and updating. I'd be interested in other editors' thoughts on this aspect. Lawikitejana (talk) 01:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA failure

[edit]

Citation format is wrong. See WP:CITE; there should not be three sections of references.

Gallery - adds nothing to the article.

Prose - needs a lot of cleanup. MSJapan (talk) 04:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Citation format is wrong. See WP:CITE; there should not be three sections of references." There aren't three sections of references. There is one, along with a notes section. External links are not references. See WP:CITE#Shortened_notes.
This is correct. The citation format is fine, and should not be a reason for GA failure. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 22:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Gallery adds nothing to the article" Maybe you could explain how you arrived at that conclusion? As it stands, there is no way to discern how you arrived at such a conclusion.
"Prose - needs a lot of cleanup." Needs a lot of cleanup is unhelpful. Please be specific. (Mind meal (talk) 22:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Article should be renominated. MSJapan has not responded to requests for clarification, which I find troubling. Viriditas (talk) 11:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kwan Um center in Haifa Israel

[edit]

Dear editors,

In the section "history", It says The other three centers in Israel practicing in the KUSZ are the Hasharon Zen Center,[11] the Ramat Gan Zen Group and the Pardes Hanna Zen Centre.[12]"

I myself practice in a center in Israel which is in Haifa, one of the three main cities of Israel.
