[edit] Core articles

See the draft version of List of basic Tibet topics for a list of articles which need to be created.

[edit] Assessment

We have about 50 articles with no class designation and about 300 with no importance designation. Have at it! If anyone knows a lot about assessment, your help would be appreciated in setting up this department.

[edit] Naming conventions

For the transcription of Tibetan words and names, and for the naming of articles, please see the proposed naming convention for Tibetan.

[edit] Article creation and expansion

[edit] Requested articles

  • Four harmonious animals - kind of like the Town Musicians of Bremen, although the point in forming a pyramid is never really made clear. Yaan (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Towns and villages

There is an ongoing drive to improve all of the articles in List of towns and villages in Tibet. One of our goals is to add and infobox and locator map for all 800 odd places and begin adding basic encyclopedic data and transliterations. This is the infobox for settlements in Tibet. Please add this and fill in the relevant data if you see an article on a town or village missing it.

[edit] Article Construction

Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.

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.
