Reference thanks to Farang Rak Tham

I added the very useful Patrice Ludwig reference, with thanks to Farang Rak Tham. I could not open the other reference, however. It's probably better to add comments to the talk sections, though, rather than the template above.ch (talk) 17:36, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CWH, you are welcome. The other reference is a document stored on an Academia account, for which you would have to register on Academia first. This is free and worthwhile, I think.

If you by chance have some time to look at the Maudgalyayana article, and give some feedback or reassess it, that would be very much appreciated.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good - I made a few stylistic changes at Maudgalyayana, which is a fascinating article, but I know little on the topic. I'll try the other link again, as I think that anyone should be able to access Academia.ch (talk) 19:53, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, CWH! Let me know how it goes. I could also send it to you through WP:RX.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 20:56, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have also found this source helpful:
