Monguor
Ich kenne mancher Leute, die unter den Brüder des Dalai Lamas an die Indiana Universiät promoviert haben, die mir gesagt hat, dass die Familie des Dalai Lamas Mongour sei, und dass die ganze Familie fliessend Mongour kann. Sicher ist die Gegend, woher er kommt ein Bezirk wo viele Mongours wohnen. Das er Mongour ist, heisst natürlich nicht, dass er auch Tibetisch nicht sein kann. Mir sieht er sowieso eher Mongourisch aus. Tibetologist 13:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Relatives of the Dalai Lama in his hometown told me they are Tibetans. Although there are Monguor in the region, it is not the main area of the Monguor.

Tibet
Hi good to see another person who loves the roof of the world as much as I do. I invite you to join WikiProject Tibet which I established. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 14:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I have created many articles related to Tibet including Economy of Tibet -your expertise and recent research on nomads in the country would be very useful. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 14:55, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Nedo Gompa (gnas mdo dgon)
Hi, Andreas,

Did you visit the gnas mdo dgon monastery in Nangchen? (AKA sdom kha'i gnas mdo khra 'od bde chen gling)

According to TBRC it was founded by the famous kar+ma chags med Rinpoche.

Tashi delegs,

 * Dear Victor,
 * [[Image:DomkaNedo_Gruschke.jpg|300px|right|Nangqên Domka Nedo Gompa]] There is another Nedo Gompa to the south of Nangqên county seat, in Peltsa community. The one named sdom kha'i gnas mdo khra 'od bde chen gling, however, is on the northern border of Nangqên county. Actually, this old monastery of the Nangchen kingdom is located near the border of Nangqên and Yushu counties, rather within Yushu than Nangqên county. Alos according to my sources, it was founded by Karm Chagme.
 * I was there once for a very short visit. It was in summer 2005 with many monks being on holiday staying with their families. At the time, they were busily preparing to relocate the monastery to a site near a major road, building new halls in concrete, of course. It was not clear, however, whether they would completely abandon the old site which is beautifully located in the mountain (see picture).

 * Wow, Andreas
 * Thanks for the picture!
 * I looking for coordinates to mark the monastery (now 2 monasteries) on Wikimapia. :-)

Monasteries in Golok's Pema county
Dear Victor: the Wikimapia link you added has nothing to do with the Nedo monasteries. The satellite image shows two monasteries in Qinghai's Golog (Ngolok) Prefecture, the right one with the three chörten (typical representations of the Jonang style of chorten) being the [Jonangpa monastery Achonggya Gompa (the chörten are depicted on the front cover of my Amdo vol. 1 book (see picture). The monastery more to the left is the Nyingmapa monastery Cagri Gompa, quite a special architecture representing [[Padmasambhava]]'s Copper Paradise (Sangdog Pelri). I wrote an article a few year's ago: «Symbolic Architecture in Pema - the Lotus Land of the Ngolok Nomads», in: Oriental Art, vol. XLVI No. 1 (Jan./ Feb. 2000), pp. 58-72. (main parts also in the above mentioned book). I added some information on the Wikimapia image. --Gruschke (talk) 14:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Competing categories
A number of competing categories were used so far to distinguish Tibetan Buddhist monasteries (or lamaseries) ending in that not all respective monasteries show up in either list, like: I believe these should be somehow unitized/ unified in that monasteries which show up in Category 1 (Buddhist monasteries in Tibet) should at least also be listed in Category 3 (Tibetan_Buddhist_monasteries) - like the example of Benchen_Monastery which can be listed in all four categories. At the same time Xilituzhao Temple is listed in Category 2, although it is a temple in Inner Mongolia and not in Tibet. I am sure there are many more examples.
 * 1) Category:Buddhist monasteries in Tibet
 * 2) Category:Buddhist_temples_in_Tibet
 * 3) Category:Tibetan_Buddhist_monasteries
 * 4) Category:Buddhist temples in China

Bayankara
Hi, I have attempted to merge your article about that mountain range with Bayan Har Mountains. However, I left some information out because I myself have no real idea of the geography of Tibet. I you feel something is missing, please add it. Yaan (talk) 09:39, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Tibetan naming conventions
A while back, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it.

 * Thanks for removing the link to my article which presents results from several years of fieldwork on the topic discussed in the Wikipedia article... I added the link since it relates to the price development mentioned in the text, even shown by a diagram. Unjustifiably I thought that some people who have more time than me would go to read and decide what extra information could be taken from my article. You obviously read it and decided it to be not useful, and, as I understand you, why should this be interesting for other readers if the link was added by me, the author of the article himself? then it definitely must be spam or, at least, self-promotion. I better stay away from such forums and continue doing the actual research. Thanks for saving my time. --Gruschke (talk) 08:48, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for creating this article. I was wondering if you could help by adding some refs? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 11:52, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Huzhu Tu Autonomous County
Guten Tag!

You haven't made any edits on English Wikipedia since 2013, but I hope you will return to your work one day. There is still a lot to do. Also, I wanted to let you know that the Pinyin for 互助土族自治县 should be Hùzhù Tǔzú Zìzhìxiàn and should not be written as Hùzhù Tǔzú zìzhìxiàn as you wrote in your edit from 2008. This is according to 汉语拼音正词法基本规则(2012) 6.2.2.1 which reads “汉语地名中的专名和通名，分写，每一分写部分的首字母大写. “

Hope to see you soon,
