Line 958: So - [[User:Joshua Jonathan]] has his reasons. Basically he thinks that these articles should rely on the work of a small group of Western academics and he doesn't think the Eastern references to Tibetan and Thervadhan scholars should be used here, or their views expressed in these articles. He calls all these Eastern scholars "primary sources" that, hrhe believes, should only be cited in Wikipedia as primary sources and understood as filtered through the lens of the Western academics when they discuss their work. He is undoubtedly sincere. We have a RfC on this issue, and there are currently three in support of use of Eastern scholars as secondary sources and three opposed to this.
