Adding correct link for the Coban temple, since the previous edit did not do so. Also removing commas that do not correctly apply to temple names. Since the pages currently linked are specific to the temples in question, it makes no sense to list the location by city and state (or nation) when the links provided are for the temples rather than the location. |
A temple dedication is not presided by an individual; it is the individual who presides over that event. Fixing that so it is less grammatically clunky. |
