Talk:Religion in pre-colonial Philippines

Multiple issues

This page still needs a good going over to make sure all the content is reliable. There needs to be copy editing as well to fix grammar and readability. Finally, quite a few of the citations have strangely formatted external links, which needs to be fixed. — GypsyJiver (drop me a line) 14:10, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm copying my comments over from the talk page of Buddhism in the Philippines:

Inline citations

I've added a few inline tags to the first two paragraphs of the "Pre-Colonial History" section, indicating how the article needs to be cited. This isn't intended as anything bad, it is just that there needs to be a lot better citing of sources to fulfil Wikipedia:Verification. Feel free to take some of the tags down on the less controversial sentences if you don't want them there. — GypsyJiver (drop me a line) 07:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC).

Rajah-states

What is meant exactly by the phrase "Rajah-states"? It comes up in the "Pre-Colonial History" section a lot. Maybe this means Thalassocracy, or maybe it refers specifically to kingdoms, sultanates, or rajahnates mentioned in History of the Philippines? Clarity would be good here, I think. — GypsyJiver (drop me a line) 07:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC). MOVED — GypsyJiver (drop me a line) 14:10, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Grammar

I've done some grammar fixing. This article contained a lot of incorrect past participle uses. I have changed most of them to simple past tense. Some phrases like has been and has arrived have been changed to was and arrived. For example, I changed this:

Vajrayana Buddhism has been also known as Tantric Buddhism and Mantrayana, the esoteric teaching, which has been conveyed only by a master to a disciple through initiation or empowerment.

To this:

Vajrayana Buddhism was also known as Tantric Buddhism and Mantrayana, the esoteric teaching, which was conveyed only by a master to a disciple through initiation or empowerment.

There is still a lot of work to do on the content, but at least the grammar is mostly fixed for now. — GypsyJiver (drop me a line) 05:51, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Images of Hindu-Buddhist artifacts

We need to find a images of these Hindu-Buddhist artifacts that mentioned in the Article , Because these images are important for the accuracy of the Article. (JournalmanManila (talk) 09:26, 5 August 2016 (UTC))

Fixed a lot of the grammar

I went over the whole article and tried to improve the grammar and general tone as much as possible, but some parts I wasn't really sure what to do with, especially towards the bottom of the article. Further improvements are more than welcome. Last edited by: (talk) 21:04, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Religion in pre-colonial Philippines

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Religion in pre-colonial Philippines's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
