your comments welcomed

Very concise. Isn't there anything else to know about Mother Teresa? You could mention that her death was overshadowed by the death of Lady Di if you want to add some social commentary.

There's a typo: you've used 1's instead of I's in the Roman numeral.

To clarify: ones instead of the letter I (capital i).

Myself, I'd be interested in a little talk about the controversy over Teresa - I've heard that by refusing modern medicine she may have inadvertantly led to some preventable deaths... is there any truth in this?

I have a feeling that a more complete biography would help - she mus have done enough in her life to warrant more than 3 lines...

I do like the quotes section, though - inspiring words indeed!

Hello,

Well, I've noticed you haven't posted in a while, but I like to check to make sure. Hello? Hello? Anyway, I think it's a lovely start, but that it needs to be filled out somewhat. I also recall there was some controversy about Mother Teresa's refusal to allow contraception (making things worse?) and some of the financial dealings for her charity work.

Yours,
Jake

I don't know if that helps, but I have added the reference to Princess Diana.
And the refusal to supply contraception.

It's still a touch short. Perhaps a little research on the subject would be in order?

Ok.

So, what happens now?
Do I have to advertise for help with this entry?

Depends, I guess. Do you want some people to help you research it? Do you want comments? Do you think it's finished and ready for the guide? All of the above?

I have added an entry by Voon, and got their permission to link to it.
I have also linked to AGB's entry on Princess Diana.
I would welcome anyone elses comments.

You still should flesh out the entry... especially: what was her life like, for example:

Why 'Teresa' - in honour of Thérèse of Lisieux (now *who* was that )

Her father died when she was nine, she joined a sisterhood (sp?) at the age of 18, went over Colombo, Madras and Calcutta to the Himalaya, started as a nurse, then became a teacher, had problems with her spine, later retired in order to live among the poorest people in the slums...

A few minutes of research and

OK
Added some more information I found.

I'm not quite convinced that you're doing justice to her. Those ideas above were meant as hints for researching and fleshing out the entry... IMHO there's still some work to do.
