Talk:Buddhism in Sri Lanka

message: The edits made on 19-20 January 2007 added some useful information to the page, but also deleted some valid information.  It also added a very large section to the article that consisted primarily of critique of Buddhism as practiced in Sri Lanka.  Such a segment is inherently NPOV if it is presented without reference or context as though it were the view of the article that Buddhism in Sri Lanka is 'wrong'.  If the author would provide sources for these critiques, and present them as the views of a specific group or interest, then they might be acceptable in part as an addition to the article.  As it stands, I think the article would be better suited with more descriptive information about Buddhism in Sri Lanka, rather than proscriptive critiques.  --Clay Collier 08:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

message: A variety of vandals have been swinging by this page to change the statistics on the percentage of Sri Lanka's population that is Buddhist. If you're watching this page and see changes to the number, please take a minute to check that the number offered matches a cited value. The current citation is from the CIA world factbook, which indicates a percentage by population of 69.1%. Any change to that figure should be accompanied by an up-to-date, reliable reference source. --Clay Collier 07:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, this sentence in the introduction about monastic population is unsupported by the source cited: "In 2007, there were around 60,000 Buddhist monasteries in Sri Lanka with approximately 300,000 monks." That link leads to a source composed in 1966  (but with a 2007 copyright on top)--see the internal content. And that source says there were about 15,000 monks, not 300,000. 113.252.221.43 (talk) 07:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
