"This is a stub with a disproportionately large photo. Someone familiar with the religious art or with Chinese buddhism should write a paragraph giving a brief history of the statue, including its transliterated Chinese name. The photograph should be smaller, in accordance with the landmark's importance among religious statues on the planet and among statues of Buddha in particular. This is an area studies and/or art history article. GCW"

Should I write a brief life history of Siddhartha Gautama?

Do you have photo of Tian Tan Buddha taken by yourselves?

If the photo is from the government's press release will there be any copyright problem?

Hello, I have a few photographs of the statue that I took when I was there a few weeks ago. anthropax

I don't know how to move the pic back to the zone for 'Feature'.May you give me a favour

I think suitable amount of linebreak can make the paragraph more clear. Isn't it? Since there is a lot of topics. Grouping of related subtropic may make the whole paragraph more clear to read and follow.

[edit] Mainland China

If Mainland China = China - Taiwan and the SAR, then if the SAR and Taiwan are included in the list of dignitaries then WHY is Mainland China supposed to be MORE accurate than the phrase "all of China" ?!! SchmuckyTheCat 02:58, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The problem is that this paragraph is effectively contrasting "China" and "Taiwan". We don't want to take a stand on whether Taiwan is or isn't part of China. --MarkSweep 05:04, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• It says nothing about the political status of Taiwan. Taiwan is a geographical term in this context, which has been avoiding named states. SchmuckyTheCat 02:08, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Mentioning both "China" and "Taiwan" in the same sentence implies that Taiwan is definitely not part of China, which is POV. It's a bit like saying "dignitaries from the United Kingdom and Scotland were in attendance". --MarkSweep 06:51, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And the current way of presentation does not solve the problem that it might apply Hong Kong not part of the PRC. — Instantnood 06:55, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] redirect

i redirected po lin monastery to here. There will never be enough information about the monastery to deserve it's own entry. without the buddha and holy artifacts inside, the monastery is not even noticable.
