I have tried to make the article more like an encyclopedia article... would love feedback on how it is looking to people or where else it might feel like too much like an ad. Sethie 04:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Much better! I think the original structure of the article makes it hard to make it a really NPOV biography, so I'd like to see more revision before the tag goes away, though. Thanks for doing so much! Lunkwill 07:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I will keep playing with it... and from my perspective it isn't just a biography... it's also an article about her teachings, not how wonderful they are :), but WHAT they are.

Any specific places you see where it still feels advertisement like, please point them out. peace Sethie 07:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that occurred to me too. Eventually the stuff about her philosophy should probably go into an article for that purpose. Lunkwill 18:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I've tried editing the page to make it more like an encyclopedia...let me know what you think about it...best regards, NotElizabeth 22 November 2006

Hi not elizabeth. I love how the page looks now. Thanks for all the changes.

I would like something in there about how terrible her life was before her awakening, the change was pretty ummm dramatic. Welcome to the page. Sethie 22:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Sethie, I'm so glad you liked it. I'll try adding something on her depression tomorrow, or if you have an idea, add it on...what do you think about Lunkwill's idea to open a separate article for The Work? It seemed like a good idea to me... NotElizabeth 20:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey NotElizabeth- My inclination is to leave the two combined until the section for the Work is much larger... my experience with Wikipedia is that smaller articles get merged together until one section is quite large and can really stand on it's own. For example Albert Ellis and Rebt. There is a sort of page for "The Work" The Work which is a disambigious page for now.

Those are my thoughts. Peace! Sethie 21:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sethie, I've added something about the depression she experienced prior to her awakening. Also I compared this to the Eckhard Tolle page and some other bios, and it seems neutral enough to remove the 'ad' banner, which I have done. Thanks for pointing out that the Work might get lost if it's just a short article. Maybe it would be worth adding more Work info to make it a larger article...I might make a stab at this later, but for now I've run out of time. This was fun :-) hope you like it NotElizabeth 10:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
