It seems to me that Dharma-chakra was intended to refer to the same symbol as Dharmacakra, and so could just be converted to a redirect. As far as content, there's not too much in the Dharma-chakra article that's not in Dharmacakra, but it would be good to have a section that would say more about the Jain use of the symbol (which I don't know anything about).

Is there any reason why the spelling "Dharmacakra" is used over "Dharmachakra"? The latter seems to be more common, at least from a Google search. zaiken 07:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
It's the standard transcription of the Sanskrit word. Sanskrit distinguishes "c" (unaspirated) from "ch" (aspirated). RandomCritic 14:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

- There's a full discussion of this at Flag of India. The original symbol was a spinning wheel, it's true, but in 1947, it was changed to the same design as the Dharmacakra on the Asoka pillar. RandomCritic 00:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Three turnings
I could find no textual justification for the statement that the "three turnings" refers to "hearing, understanding, and internalizing", and no source was provided, so I eliminated the paragraph. RandomCritic (talk) 13:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jainism logo.png
Image:Jainism logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Spelling Error: The title is spelled wrong along with the title preceding the "disambiguation" link. It should be spelled "Dharmachakra" not "Dharmacakra". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.195.192 (talk) 02:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
