"This is a stub with a disproportionately large photo. Someone familiar with the religious art or with Chinese buddhism should write a paragraph giving a brief history of the statue, including its transliterated Chinese name. The photograph should be smaller, in accordance with the landmark's importance among religious statues on the planet and among statues of Buddha in particular. This is an area studies and/or art history article. GCW"
Should I write a brief life history of Siddhartha Gautama?
Do you have photo of Tian Tan Buddha taken by yourselves?
If the photo is from the government's press release will there be any copyright problem?
Hello, I have a few photographs of the statue that I took when I was there a few weeks ago. anthropax
I don't know how to move the pic back to the zone for 'Feature'.May you give me a favour
I think suitable amount of linebreak can make the paragraph more clear. Isn't it? Since there is a lot of topics. Grouping of related subtropic may make the whole paragraph more clear to read and follow.
If Mainland China = China - Taiwan and the SAR, then if the SAR and Taiwan are included in the list of dignitaries then WHY is Mainland China supposed to be MORE accurate than the phrase "all of China" ?!! SchmuckyTheCat 02:58, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
i redirected po lin monastery to here. There will never be enough information about the monastery to deserve it's own entry. without the buddha and holy artifacts inside, the monastery is not even noticable.
"A gondola lift, the Ngong Ping Skyrail between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping, provides another means of access."
This lift is long out of operation due to an accident. Jon914 07:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Someone has marked the weight of the Kamakura Buddha at 124 tons as vague. What does that someone want? Down to the exact pound and ounce? Caeruleancentaur (talk) 13:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
The current article seems to be vague in regards to which Buddha the statue is an image of. In the first paragraph, it says that the statue is "is a large bronze statue of the Buddha" with Buddha linked to Gautama_Buddha. To me, the use of the phrase "the buddha" rather than "a buddha" and the link to Gautama Buddha imply that the statue represents Gautama/Shakyamuni Buddha. But then further down it says "Like the Daibutsu in Kamakura, Japan, the Tian Tan Buddha is an image of Amitabha Buddha." So which is it? Gautama or Amitabha Buddha? This would be helpful to mention in the first paragraph. Echalon (talk) 13:50, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
the Ushiku Buddha is 120 metres tall, isnt that the biggest in the world? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Payneham (talk • contribs) 02:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Hongkongers only refer the statue as "the Big Buddha" or "tʰiːn⁵⁵ tʰɑːn²¹ tɑːi̯²² fɐt̚²". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vc06697 (talk • contribs) 04:39, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
I have reverted the edit in the article, which makes nonsense of the explanation of the name in the next section. The editor gives no reference and does not even know how to sign his name. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 05:25, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Should there be a standalone article for the Offering of the Six Devas? Not sure if there's enough sourcing and detail to justify a separate article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:06, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Some suggestions that should be made on this article is to add some pictures on the top of the header. The article also needs to have a dimension header of the buddha so we know how big it is for the viewers. This can be an additional of the width, length, and structures of the Buddha.
