[edit] notable visitors?
Should there be a section noting notable visitors? (Notable per wikipedia - already have a page, or should) - for example the President of Iceland was the first head of State on an official state visit - [1] I'm sure there are others.... There there's the other Temples....--Smkolins (talk) 16:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] (claim of exceptional fame requires a source)
in responding to this request for proof, I wonder if a single reference would do it justice. I'm considering a whole section devoted to articles, awards, reviews, even adding the notable visitors mentioned above.
move the whole thing to my sandbox - I'll post a cleaned up version here for folks to review - see User:Smkolins/Sandbox --Smkolins (talk) 15:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC) ... having left this for comment for a while and not getting any I'll go ahead and look at merging it into the article and handle the request for citation.--Smkolins (talk) 23:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] tourism section with replicas
Just wondering about the appropriateness of
In India, during the Hindu festival Durga Puja, several times a replica of the Lotus Temple has been made as a pandal, a temporary structure set up to venerate the goddess Durga.[5] In Sikkim a permanent replica is of the Hindu Legship Mandir, dedicated to Shivaeness.
If I understand this right there are temple "replicas" in the shape of the Lotus Temple being constructed by non-Baha'i institutions and housing idols. As such I'm wondering if they are really "replicas" as much as they are in the shape of a lotus and are simply trying to gain notariety by claiming to be replicas of the Lotus Temple. Anyone got a ref of any statement by the Baha'is of India on such "replicas"?--Smkolins (talk) 20:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
