Look, this is a Buddhist term. If you ask most Buddhists they will know exactly what you are talking about. This is not something I made up. I made this article as an adjunct to other pages that mention Dharma Talks but have no link to what one is. I do not feel that non-Buddhists should be editing Buddhist references. I would not dare go to a Muslim article and removing a term.

Once again mindmeal I appreciate your steadfast effort. The term used to delete it the first time: "Blatant advertising" threw me off. This is what I hoped to get to eventually. Maybe I should sandbox a bit before posting. Thanks again for your help.Golgofrinchian (talk) 17:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, a sandbox is always a good idea. I used to just edit or start articles much the same way you are, and as a consequence I learned both to use sandboxes and reference everything I edit. That way, when challenged, I can say, "Look at the sources." I'm going to post a little "cheat sheet" on your talk page with some tools I use all the time to make article creation faster. I recommend you save it to your notepad and copy and paste them into articles. As for blatant advertising, I'm as clueless as you on that note. (Mind meal (talk) 18:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC))
