Wikipedia:WikiProject Tibet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome! The aim of this project is to standardize and improve articles related to Tibet and Tibet Autonomous Region. It is also to establish missing articles related to Tibet including geography (Tibetan villages) as well as to improve and create missing articles related to the Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism.
For the transcription of Tibetan words and names, and for the naming of articles, please see the proposed naming convention for Tibetan.

We should probably discuss article types, which may have different parameters. Example types might be:
[edit] Texts
Articles on texts should include:
- Text's title. Should be also given in Wylie transliteration.

- Date
- Place of origin (if known); should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
- A rough overview of the contents of the text
- Separate sections for particularly important ideas in the text. Alternatively, short descriptions and links to articles on said ideas.
- Whatever caveats regarding disputes over readings of the text, etc.
