Tibet
Hi. Those Tibet articles look awfully similar. Are they going to be about really different things eventually or you think they might go better in one article? I'm not sure as I'm rather new to this as well. I'd just like to help if I can.

Check out also Category:Tibetan Buddhism. It's got lots of stuff you might be interested in. --ShadowPuppet 21:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey don't make so many pages. --ShadowPuppet 21:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I think I figured it out. You can make "redirects" for the names and you don't have to make the same article over and over. It just redirets the names to the same one.


 * ShadowPuppet's got it right -- make redirects for plausible alternative spellings/names, but not all of those are necessary (I don't think Tibetan prayer is relevant, for example). Making lots of new pages that look similar is a good way to end up on AfD.  I don't think you'll need to worry about them being deleted, since it seems (to me) a clearly important subject, but we'll have to see what the folks on AfD think.  bikeable (talk) 22:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
