Talk:Rongbuk Monastery

Name
Where does the k in Rongbuk come from? It's not in the Tibetan name given in this article. And why is it not Rongpu with a p? —Babelfisch 12:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know, I thought of that, too. Rongbuk does seem to be the more common English name. Perhaps it is some local dialect of Tibetan? Or perhaps it is influenced one of the numerous unrelated languages spoken in the Himalayas? In any event, Rongbuk appears to be the most common name in English.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!) 14:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

It is in the Tibetan name: "Rdza-rong-phu". --Voidvector 05:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't see the k. —Babelfisch 07:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite?
Nobody asked me, but this article is written poorly. This reads more like a narrative of a novel than an encyclopedia article. Phrases such as "It [has] the most dramatic views in the world" simply do not belong in this article. Riobranden 18:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I did what I could to fix it, but it has issues that only a complete rewrite could solve. ~ Eidako 23:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you -- Riobranden 19:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Stubbiness
Does this article still warrant being called a stub? What more can be added? Maybe a link to more detailed info/photos? --JD79 20:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
