The following two paragraphs are off topic for the order of interbeing. Moved here for anyone to re-add elsewhere, maybe in a new section. - SusanLesch ( talk) 18:09, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Please explain in what sense is this section "off topic"? The section is entitled "Establishing The Order of Interbeing". These paragraphs are about Notable members of the Order of Interbeing - the connection is clear to me. I don't understand what the problem is. - Vellino
Notable members of the order of interbeing and disciples of Nhất Hạnh include Skip Ewing [1], founder of the Nashville Mindfulness Center; Natalie Goldberg, author and teacher [2]; Chân Không, dharma teacher; Caitriona Reed, dharma teacher and co-founder of Manzanita Village Retreat Center; Larry Rosenberg, dharma teacher; Cheri Maples, police officer and dharma teacher; [3] and Pritam Singh, real estate developer and editor of several of Nhất Hạnh's books. citation needed
Other notable students of Nhất Hạnh include Joan Halifax, founder of the Upaya Institute; Albert Low, Zen teacher and author; Joanna Macy [4], environmentalist and author; Jon Kabat-Zinn, creator of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR); [5] Jack Kornfield, dharma teacher and author; Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; [6] Jim Yong Kim, former president of the World Bank; [6] John Croft, co-creator of Dragon Dreaming; Leila Seth, author and Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court; and Stephanie Kaza, environmentalist. citation needed
References
The article has two areas that cover the various names the subject was known as throughout his lifetime. There are a lot of names, more than I have encountered in any other Wikipedia biography. The first area is a paragraph in the Early life section, and the second area is under an entirely separate heading “Names applied to him”. It would improve readability to combine these sections under a single heading by moving the paragraph out of early life. Cedar777 ( talk) 03:34, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm intrigued by this statement from the introduction - "He was the founder of the largest monastic order in the West." Does this mean the largest monastic order of any religion or the largest Buddhist order? What exactly does "the West" refer to and would that exclude the monks of his order who are located in East Asia? I think clarification & a citation would be helpful here.

After conducting a brief evaluation on this article titled "Thích Nhât Hanh" I have concluded that this information provided is up to date, preceded with an extensive list of references. Although I have concluded that some articles referenced are moderately biased, there are plenty of references that seemingly come from a reliable source. As for the layout and content of this Wikipage, it is well written with a common layout that most biographies have which start with an "early life" section while ending with "death". The content is also detailed and includes a multitude of internal Wikilinks to further support the given information. To my knowledge, all referenced main external links are fully functional except the following: (The following external links result in a "404 error not found" or access denied indicating the webpage has been removed from the databases server. The "archived" external link for the following are accessible.)

Knibbe, Guido (2020). "Meeting Life in Plum Village – Engaging With Precarity and Progress in a Meditation Center"
Duerr, Maia (26 March 2010). "An Introduction to Engaged Buddhism".
Many users have also left suggestions and edits that has contributed to the version history, making it an unbiased Wikipage with purely factual evidence. I would suggest an edit be to made to remove the external links from the Wikipage or be replaced with a existing & functional website. Pattycakekwan888 ( talk) 05:06, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
The only pron I've ever heard in US English is /ˈtɪk ˈnɑːt ˈhɑːn/ TIK NAHT HAHN, which follows the pattern of "foreign A" = /ɑː/ and helps to avoid æ-tensing in the last word. Does anyone use /ˈtɪk ˈnjʌt ˈhʌn/ TIK NYUT HUN in English? Sol505000 ( talk) 18:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
When a foreign name has a set English pronunciation (or pronunciations), include both the English and foreign-language pronunciations; the English transcription must always be first. If the native name is different from the English name, the native transcription must appear after the native name.This is no different from the cited example of English /nɪˈkiːtə ˈkrʊʃtʃɛf/ as compared to the original Russian pronunciation [nʲɪˈkʲitə xrʊˈɕːɵf], very far away from how the English-speaking natives say it (particularly the surname). As far as I'm aware, nobody says khruu-SHOF, nevermind khruush-SHOF.
