Gyalpo

Original research ("This page was started by me"). I can't find verification online - if someone more knowledgeable can rewrite that'd be great but I don't think there's anything salvageable here. (ESkog)^(Talk) 08:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to Gyalpo can be found. On the Dorje Shugden page, you have to go to the discussion and there you find at the bottom of the page, a long article that explains in scholarly manner that "(in Tibetan 'gyalpo' meaning king, a type of ghost)" on line five of the article. The article is the last one on the page. It starts with "Jeff Watt, the Webmaster for Sakya Resource..." and is entitled "Do Shakyas rely on Dorje Shugden?" This takes you to the page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kelsangpagpa

Anyways, I'll refer to the people who are interested in this subject over there and among Tibetan-following folks, and see what approach would be best to break down the subject for Wiki. All the best to you, and also thinks for the advice about Gyalpo. Geir Smith. It's funny, I just sent this same message a few minutes ago but it didn't seem to register right now.

Gasp ! What's that link I just sent !!! Noooo ! the links must have mixed up. The page above-mentionned ("Do Shakyas rely on Dorje Shugden?" )is at this link, not that other one with the Buddhist monk ! No way ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dorje_Shugden

Hope that's all right now ! Geir Smith.

Delete...for now until someone can come along and write a better article. Then again, if someone can prove that a cleanup is possible, I'll change my vote. JHMM13 (T | C) 08:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The page is now formatted for new edition along the start-up lines. The new format will be worked out with various people who can work out a collegial manner of writing the article. It's thoguht to become a non-sectarian approach but along the lines the people themselves choose. It's just in the project stage now. Renaming the project as Gyalpo enables to get out of the check-mate that the originally named project is mired in. Things are thus back at step one.

Thanks to you for understanding the difficulty of entering an encyclopedic work. Advice taken and appreciated. Geir Smith.

I'll start reediting the page according to encyclopedia norms. The page should thus probably define the verifiable sources behind it's title first and then move on to support that verifiable source with a developped research on it.I'll go slowly on this rather than do things backwards - which is to first put a lot of material online and then hope for correcting later, from others, as I was more or less expecting. I'll thus spruce up the existing links to the first bit there to start out slowly and go from there. G.S.

Strong delete. Original research to the hilt, unreferenced and unverified. Stifle 01:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- I've added a bit about Gyalpo to give background reference to the article. Geiremann 11:24, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
