[edit] Tenga Rinpoche

The article you made on Tenga Rinpoche seems to be copied from another website. What is its copyright status?—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 04:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for getting back to me on this. FYI, in the future, it would be preferable if you looked in the copyright situation first. Content on Wikipedia is not usually copied from other websites, and copyright issues are the main reason for that.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 03:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.benchen.org/sangye_bio.shtml. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 14:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Please read the guide to requesting and formalizing permission to use copyrighted works on Wikipedia. Note that, in addition to copyright requirements, the article must still comply with notability guidelines, advertising prohibition and avoid conflicts of interest. — Coren (talk) 15:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] the requirements

It is not enough that it be licensed for wikipedia!! it must be released under a GFDL license, which permits the further use by anyone in the world for any purpose, even commercial, and modification by anyone in any manner. See WP:Copyright DGG (talk) 00:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

You said on my talk page:

 "I indicated this and the exact web page correspondig to "the guide to requesting and formalizing" to the webmaster of www.benchen.org. He responded for me its ok to use the text of Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche on wikipedia. But as they say on the page, it needs more introduction, because not everybody is so much into it" Therefore, it is clear that the text can be used for wikipedia. However, it needs clarification, and probably simplification. --Rédacteur Tibet 14:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)"

however, this is not sufficient. It is not enough to give us permission to use it on Wikipedia. it must be licensed according to the GFDL, or it cannot be used here. We cannot make exception to this, because other people are permitted to make further copies of Wikipedia for whatever purpose they choose, and rely on our license GFDL license as the right to do so." A convenient alternative to sending the license to us is for the webmaster to put a GFDL license on the original page. If your webmaster is unable or unwilling to do one of the two, the text must be rewritten completely. Not just paraphrased with different words, but rewritten. If he needs further clarification, he can contact us directly--either me or Coren, either here, on our talk pages, or by email from the link on my or his user page. DGG (talk) 15:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

All right. I understand. I'll get back to the webmaster and give him your e-mail address. --Rédacteur Tibet 15:42, 28 August 2007 (UT

You are welcome to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Tibet but please write info in your own words thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 19:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Weel you are fully welcome all the same. I've begun adding the A-Z of towns/villages in tibet and have created our own specialized infoboxes and locator maps for them see Jaggang.

[edit] List of Buddhists

Hmm, most or all of the names added to "List of Buddhists" used to be included in earlier versions of that article, but they were removed because they were unsourced. I don't think they should be added without sources. I do agree, however, that there are abundant sources for Richard Gere, so he should be included.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 21:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Dear user. See the Talk:2008 unrest in Tibet talk page about this article you wanted to post about GCHQ. The reference you posted [1] at first was inaccurate. More so, the majority of Western media did not report this article, with the exception of this website [2], which is a Pro-Tibetan news agency (this news source violates the NPOV aim).--Sevilledade (talk) 21:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes Gordon Thomas does. However, the article wasn't carried by the majority of Western Media. No major news outlet mentioned this article. See the discussion on the Talk:2008 unrest in Tibet, there were several sections that discussed this topic.--Sevilledade (talk) 21:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tibetan unrest

I don't think we need the extra cites. By the way, you shouldn't feel threatened. As long as your edits are substantiated, I'll make sure that no one removes them. Thanks for your contributions to the article. Alexwoods (talk) 21:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Historians argue that China and Tibet remained two separate units"

Hi there. Are you sure that sentence (which you added to Amdo) appears in the source cited? (The Story of Tibet: Conversations with the Dalai Lama, by Thomas Laird, Grove Press, 2006, ISBN 0802118275)

I couldn't find it in there. Could you give me a pinpoint (i.e. page) reference?

The same sentence appears in History of Tibet, where it is tagged "Citation needed". If you can give me a pinpoint citation for the sentence, it should also be added to that article. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 12:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind. I found the statement dealing with the issue on p. 105, though it doesn't mention anything about "historians"? I will update the sentence and reference. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 12:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Further on Amdo

Hi, I appreciate your additions to the History section in Amdo. However, regarding the latest addition: "According to [[Tibetan Government in Exile]], [[Chogyal Phagpa]], the head of the [[Sakyapa]] school of [[Tibetan Buddhism]], became the religious instructor of Kublai Khan. In exchange, Chogyal Phagpa received the support of Kublai Khan and assumed political power over the three provinces or cholkas of Tibet.<ref>[http://www.tibet.com/status/3kings.html The Three Dharma Kings of Tibet]</ref> This intereaction called priest-patron (in [[tibetan]] chöyön) relation was the first in history of Tibet and was also developped under afterward circonstances<ref>[[Tibetan sovereignty debate]]</ref>." I wanted to query two things.

First, the Amdo article is about the Amdo region, not Tibet, and not the "sovereignty debate". While I can see how the relations with the Mongols can be relevant, since the Mongols first incorporated Amdo into other commandaries/provinces, I don't think we need too much detail on the relations between the Mongols and Tibet - that is dealt with in other articles. Furthermore, it is bad form to use internal reference: i.e. another Wikipedia article cannot be used as a reference. Finally, this statement presents only one point of view when clearly there are several. I don't want the History section of Amdo to turn into a rehash of either History of Tibet or Tibet sovereignty debate.

I propose to cut the added paragraph to ", a relationship which the Tibetan Government-in-Exile now terms a "patron-priest relationship" whereby Tibet exchanged political control for the power of religious instruction of the Khans.[ref]". Please let me know if there are any problems with this proposal. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 05:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Invasion of Tibet

Salut RT. I am the former Alexwoods. Someone has proposed a move back to the original title of this article. It would be great to have your input. Please chime in. Thanks. Yunfeng (talk) 21:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, but take it easy when you comment. It was moved because Chinese editors think 'invasion' is perjorative. Yunfeng (talk) 21:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Your comment on my talk page is exactly right - feel free to add that to the Invasion of Tibet talk page. Yunfeng (talk) 21:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History of Tibet

Gimme danger is looking for editors to improve History of Tibet to Good Article status. Since you've contributed to the article in the past, I hope you'll be able to participate. (talk) 00:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Hello, we are revoting to propose a new name for the People's Liberation Army invasion of Tibet (1950–1951) article. Many people would like to move it to "PLA occupation of Tibet". If you have any last minute opinions, please join us here. Thanks. Benjwong (talk) 17:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks for putting the citation in the correct form. As you can see, I tried a few times but could not get it to work. I am still new here. --Littlebutterfly (talk) 21:38, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed

Hi Rédacteur Tibet,

Nice to meet you.

Some people are proposing to close down Dzongkha Wikipedia. It is hoped that you could join in to vote and voice your opinion regarding this matter Here. Thanks. --Jose77 (talk) 09:32, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
