[edit] Tone needs work

The tone of this article, especially the Meng-tse part of the "Questionable Accuracy" section, is much too informal. For example, Wikipedia should not be saying that it's "theoretically possible" that Meng-tse was reincarnated 300 years later -- try something more like "Some have raised the counterargument that Meng-tse might have been reincarnated..." or something. In other words, to make this article read more like an encyclopedia article, try revising it with a neutral point of view and formal tone. --Elysdir 02:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Jossi did some work on this article a couple days ago, but then removed two big sections of it. Although those sections had significant tone problems, I felt that they were very important to the article; they were among the main things that I originally came to the article hoping to find out about. So I restored them, but also heavily revised them to improve the tone. While I was there, I rewrote most of the introductory material, fixing grammar and spelling and broken links.

The article definitely needs some citations for its claims, but I know the accuracy-dispute stuff is true, having read several web pages about that dispute before finding my way here in the first place. I would cite those pages, but (a) I don't have the pages in question handy, and (b) I don't know whether those particular pages are really reliable sources. So I left it with the citation-needed template in hopes that someone will add citations at some point. --Elysdir 06:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
