[edit] Re-instating this article

I'm re-instating this article, since the main Dorje Shugden article is 92KB and rambling. I've tried to transfer most of the information related to the controversy into this new article, making only minimal editorial changes. If you see something inappropriate that I've left out or changed, please just add this in.Peaceful5 (talk) 07:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] kt66 aka Tenzin Paljor

Just so you know, kt66 has a personal agenda to undermine the New Kadampa tradition and is an ardent supporter of the Dalai Lama's ban on the practice of Dorje Shugden. As Tenzin Paljor, he has been on chat groups and blogs all over the internet for years trying to persuade people to abandon the New Kadampa tradition and Dorje Shugden. Please therefore be on the look out for potential POV bias and disinformation in his edits of this article or any article to do with Dorje Shugden, Geshe Kelsang, or the New Kadampa Tradition.

[edit] Initiating a temporary subpage for a draft re-write

A re-write of this article has been proposed with the goal of making this article more intelligible, especially for those unfamiliar with the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. I'm proposing a major re-write of this article and am initiating a subpage in the talk namespace. Contributions are welcome. Visit the /proposed re-write page.

The article's title could be changed to "Dorje Shugden discrimination" instead of "Dorje Shugden controversy." Emptymountains (talk) 02:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Peaceful5, this article is approaching un-intelligible and seems quite partisan in places. I'd start the article off with the timeline or the background (or a very short summary) and move "Today's Controversy" further down. I disagree that the title should be changed as "discrimination" is a partisan word. Iainspeed (talk) 10:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proof of religious persecution

I would like to suggest adding content from this article which shows many of the things that have been going on in this controversy: http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/5170/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.243.60.154 (talk) 15:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

This section desperately needs some writing which is neither partisan nor assumes familiarity with the intricacies of Buddhist practice. This issue is in the media, and it would be helpful to have a brief and straightforward account of what this is about, which is as yet very murky Crocodilian (talk) 20:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
