[edit] Borobudur

After having been improved into an article with enough reliable sources and provided with good images for almost a year, I'd like to nominate this article for FA. Any suggestions, critics, comments and supports are all welcomed. Thank you. — Indon (reply) — 15:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

• Comment – Its got a really messy Toc. The headings should be more terse. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

  Reply – Thanks Nichalp for quick comment. I've fixed it. — Indon (reply) — 15:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I believe the assertion that Mahayana is dominant in SE Asia is wrong. Only Vietnam is Mahayana. Cambodia, Laos, Burma and Thailand are all Theravada. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 22:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

  Reply – I removed the assertion. I am not an expert of Buddhism in Asia, but I believe I took that fact from a source. I can't access all the source right now, but I'll check about it later. Thanks for your note. — Indon (reply) — 01:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

  Comment It is dominant in East Asia:China, Taiwan, Korea, Mongolia, Japan and Tibet though. so its true of E Asia but not SE Asia. So you can leave the E Asia part there. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

  Reply – Done. Thanks. — Indon (reply) — 02:05, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

• Support - I've massaged the prose and tried to get rid of the frequently repeated monument, which was used far too much. I cannot speak authoritatively on comprehensiveness but nothing springs to mind that should be included that isn't thus far. Others may still find some prose issues. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

• Support - Did a little more prose massage & confirmedsome details agains sources (see article talk page) I did the trans from the large nl wiki article in early '06 - since then Indon and others have done a marvelous job fleshing it out, adding sources etc - altogether this article has been worked on by a very diverse group & as such is IMHO balanced with various religious & ethnic/political POVs considered.

• Support - well written, fully referenced, great illustrations- this article was close to FA already at the peer review, and the new section and plan drawings really make it the rest of the way, and further. Congratulations Indon. D. Recorder 23:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

  Thanks a lot, but the article is developed by other editors too, who'd shaped my lousy grammar, suggested citations and drawings, added more materials, etc. It's really a nice collaborative project, though. — Indon (reply) — 00:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
