[edit] Moving Page

Just to let you guys know...I'm moving "Thubten Zopa Rinpoche" to "Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche," just to make it easier and more understandable in order to clarify position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prowikipedians (talk • contribs) 11:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a bad move, as we are supposed to drop the titles of people in Wikipedia. To include it as if it is his name as title of the page is against Wikipedia rules I think.rudy (talk) 12:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Rudy is correct. The page should not be moved. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 15:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I still don't understand. Why? Moving this page is to pay respect to the person. Otherwise, you are regarding this person as an "ordinary monk." He has to be highly respected. Is there another alternative? Prowikipedians (talk) 07:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

We're not here to "pay respect" to people. This is an encyclopedia. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 07:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the editors should reconsider changing this entry to "Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche." Lama Zopa most frequently goes by that name. If we were going to be super honorific we would be pushing "Kyabje Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche." Check the searches for Lama Zopa in the wikipedia logs (vs. Thubten Zopa) and see how frequently people are re-directed from their search for Lama Zopa to the page that lists all the Rinpoches. Lama Zopa really does go by the name Lama Zopa, hence that is what his web page is called. Just a thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lurlie (talk • contribs) 22:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
