There is some difficulty with taking texts written by scholars of a different era and presenting them without change as Wikipedia articles.
I have gone through and changed Legge's romanisation to Pinyin, not without difficulty. I have not changed occurrences of Bo (usually 伯 or 白) to Bai, although that is the current practice. Where Legge has referred to 'the present dynasty'. I have changed the text to 'Qing'. I have also deleted references to other pages in what appears to be a larger book. If there are errors, I hope that more learned Wikipedians can come in fill the breach.
The larger problem of making these changes is that the article is now neither the original Legge text, written in the context of its time, nor a fully modern Wikipedia article.

Why the hyphenation like "Zi-si"? That doesn't look like proper Hanyu Pinyin to me--should be either "Zisi" or "Zi Si." Hyphens are common in Wade-Giles but not HP.
[edit] Yan Hui
Confucius' disciple Yan Hui, was Master Kong's favorite. This not egknowleged enough.
