SuttaCentral and Wikipedia

Continuing the discussion from Presenting SuttaCentral 2019 to prevent it from derailing off topic.

Thanks, Javier, for your willingness to help. Though anyone can edit Wikipedia, I have no experience myself, so it’s nice to have people like you with more experience.

Currently the Wikipedia page “Theragatha” only refers to the 2014 Sujato & Walton translation, not to the 2019 translation by Bhante. I also noticed that the articles “Digha Nikaya,” “Majjhima Nikaya,” “Samyutta Nikaya,” “Anguttara Nikaya,” and “Sutta Pitaka” do not yet reference Bhante’s 2018 translations. Though not earth-shattering, on some of these pages SuttaCentral is spelled as “Sutta Central.”

Just so you know, the recent update of the Theragatha is the same translation ,and also credited to Sujato and Walton. We just haven’t got around to fixing this:

Thanks, didn’t know that. In referencing the translations, which year should be used? 2014/2019 for Thag? 2019 for both?

Thag: First edition 214, second edition 2019.
Thig: 2019.

I have just pushed a change to the metadata to reflect this.
