Editing Editorial Guidelines (section)

=== Biographical Pages ===
==== Page Section Architecture ====
Every biographical entry must strictly adhere to the following seven-part sequence:
# '''Introduction:''' 100–200 words summarizing who the figure was, their Buddhist tradition, core ideological alignment, and historical significance to radical Buddhism.
# '''Biography:''' 250–1,000 words providing a chronological narrative of their life, traditional training, ordination (if applicable), political awakening, activist years, and state response or legacy.
# '''Ideas:''' An analytical synthesis of their specific philosophical and theological innovations, detailing how they reconciled radical politics (e.g., socialism, anarchism, anti-imperialism) with the Dharma, alongside their critiques of mainstream Buddhist institutions.
# '''Writings:''' A chronological catalog of the author's own texts. (See curation rules below).
# '''Secondary Literature in English:''' A selective, reverse-chronological bibliography of English scholarly analysis. (See curation rules below).
# '''Secondary Literature in Other Languages:''' A hyper-selective, reverse-chronological bibliography of analysis written in non-English languages. (See curation rules below). If all literature in this section is in the same language, replace "Other Languages" in the section title with the name of that language.
# '''How to Cite This Article:''' A pre-formatted citation block mirroring APA style rules for readers to reference the entry.
# '''Notes:''' The references (footnotes) triggered by <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.

==== Specific Rules for the "Writings" Section ====
* '''Scope of Inclusion:''' Prioritize any and all texts that directly concern radical Buddhism, engaged Buddhism, or social critiques.
* '''Cutoff Point:''' Prolific non-political works (e.g., traditional doctrinal commentaries, general poetry) may be listed if they are highly famous or influential. Truncate long lists at the editor's discretion to maintain focus.
* '''Ordering:''' Strictly chronological (earliest published to latest).
* '''Annotations:''' Each item should ideally be followed by 1–3 sentences providing a short summary or vital contextual information. This text must focus strictly on the specific document and must not duplicate the broader ideological analysis already provided in the "Ideas" section. Annotations are formatted by means of the <code><nowiki>{{annotation|...}}</nowiki></code>, where the annotation goes on the dots.

==== Specific Rules for the "Secondary Literature" Sections ====
* '''Ordering:''' Strictly reverse-chronological (most recent to oldest).
* '''The Selectivity Triad:''' Curate entries based on three core values:
** ''Recent:'' Prioritize modern scholarship that updates or refines older views.
** ''Free Open Access:'' Highly prefer peer-reviewed, open-source materials to maximize reader accessibility.
** ''Influential:'' Prioritize foundational, heavily cited, or groundbreaking scholarly works.
* '''Academic Threshold:''' In principle, only published scholarly work qualifies for inclusion.
* '''The Exclusion Clause:''' Non-scholarly online sources, blog posts, or self-published materials are barred, ''except'' when virtually no academic literature has been published about the figure, or a particular online source is demonstrably influential in the discourse.
* '''Section 6 Hyper-Selectivity:''' Section 6 (Other Languages) must be curated even more strictly than Section 5. Limit this section to definitive source-language texts or major international breakthroughs.
* '''Annotations:''' Each secondary source requires a brief, 1–3 sentence annotation highlighting its specific value, scope, or methodology without duplicating content from other sections. Annotations are formatted by means of the <code><nowiki>{{annotation|...}}</nowiki></code>, where the annotation goes on the dots.
