[edit] "Vajrayana Buddhism refers to as 'The Four Immeasurables'"

Removed "Vajrayana Buddhism refers to as 'The Four Immeasurables'". It was inserted in the middle of a quote. I considered making it a comment after the quote, but decided against it as being redundant. Anyone who knows Vajrayana will recognize The Four Immeasurables as described in the quote, and anyone who doesn't will learn the Vajrayana term upon clicking - the Brahma-viharas page uses the term right at the top. --John_Abbe 21:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi John -
It's excellent that you caught that someone for some reason inserted redundant text into a quote and, what particularly gets me, without using square brackets to offset the non-original material. Kudos to you for having an eagle eye and diligently tracking the error.
I was also wondering if the addition of the parenthetical phrase "(Vajrayana Buddhism refers to as 'The Four Immeasurables')" that now follows the block quote was intentional -- or just a vestige of your edit process -- and, if purposeful, is there a way to perhaps make it flow better with the exising text.
Good work! Thanks again!
