In this and this edit summaryJimRenge challenges whether the sections on Millenarianism and Refuge as a political choice are relevant enough to the subject. I will be starting a discussion about this in the GA Review, since it pertains to improving the article's focus. (Focus is part of GA criteria.) See above for the transcluded version, or if you want to join in, go to the GA review.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 12:49, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
1. The text in the "Millenarianism" section does not show why Buddhist "Millenarianism is relevant to the subject of faith" [in Buddhism].
2. The claim that Dalits convert to Buddhism "without actually having faith" may be legitimate but it lacks high quality sources which provide and discuss the evidence. Do opposing views exist? The "Refuge as a political choice" section does not explain the role of faith in Navayana. JimRenge (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Whenever you're showing something three-dimensional, you need to know whether the country of origin has freedom of panorama, and if no you must include a tag for the original work as well as the photo. Also, when you're showing something two-dimensional, under US copyright law the photographer gets no copyright – it is all the original author. So for example the photographer has no right to release File:Manjusri_Painted.jpg, it depends on the wishes of the artist. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:28, 25 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Pending an answer to my question above, I'd also like to state that I checked the article Faith in Buddhism and found one image with no copyright of the original author, as you already mentioned, and three images from countries with limited freedom of panorama. One of these was uploaded by a user that has retired, and can therefore not be asked about it. I have therefore removed it. Two other images involve statues that might have been recently built, and I am checking with the uploaders when they were built now. This concerns the images File:Maitreya_Buddha.jpg and File:Seiryô-ji Buddhist Temple - Statue of Hônen.jpg. So... to be continued.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk)21:51, 5 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Need a location for 九天禅院_释迦牟尼佛.jpg and Buddha_Kopf.jpg to determine, and a translated source for Daisetsu_Teitarō_Suzuki_photographed_by_Shigeru_Tamura.jpg. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
original source The original person who uploaded the first ever historical file? I have no clue what you are talking about. Lots of brief responses in a row. I am sure that you are really trying to help me, but there is a lot of jargon and know-how. I'll read up about copyright later, if I have time. That maybe more useful than this conversation. Thanks anyway.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk)08:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
The uploader in this case is not important, because they are not the copyright holder. You have a tag that claims the work is in the public domain for one of three reasons - you ideally want a source that verifies whichever of those three reasons is believed to apply here. For example, if the reason is because it was published before 1958, the source should verify that. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:58, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I was not able to trace publication information, as most of the information about the photographer is in Japanese. The uploader did specify the title of a book which contains the pictures, called 現代日本の百人(1953年刊). This book can be found on Google Books, but it cannot be searched. Let me know whether this is in anyway helpful, or if you have other tips to trace the information. If not, I will remove this image as well.--Farang Rak Tham(Talk)10:25, 9 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Okay. The book title will work if we have nothing else - you could potentially try a TinEye search to track down an alternate source, but it's workable without that. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:03, 11 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
