[edit] Name

Is this really how it is referred to in English? The name is redundant, as "si" already means temple, but I suppose if that's what it's called...Rigadoun (talk) 19:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's called that way in English according to their flyers and on-site information board for visitors. I understand that they choose to add the "temple" part for the benefit of non-chinese speakers in their correspondence. -- Aldwinteo 15:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dating concern

May I suggest rephrasing terms like "66-year-old" and "120-year-old", given these are bound to become less accurate every year? Biruitorul 20:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Except for its discription purpose, all the date-centric references has been amended now. Thank u for your feedback & interest on this article -- Aldwinteo 01:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the corrections. My only further suggestions on the three remaining year-centric entries would be as follows:

1. "a nearly 120-year old Bodhi tree" --> "a Bodhi tree dating to the late 1880s"

2. "an age of approximately 120 years" --> "an age of approximately 120 years (as of 2007)"

3. "Over the past three years" --> "Since 2004"

However, these are mere ideas and I leave it to you, the author, to decide what to do. Biruitorul 02:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

All done as per your 2nd feedback. u & other editors are most welcomed to amend on this article or any of my previous works if nec, as long as its informational value & content is not degraded for the common good of Wikipedia. Rgds, -- Aldwinteo 03:45, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
