Rangjung Yeshe wiki and other issues
Hi, thanks for your input to Wikipedia. I wanted to ask you about a few things. You've added a couple articles from the Rangjung Yeshe wiki at DharmaDictionary.org, and others have occasionally done the same. I've never been clear on what the copyright situation at that website is, as I mentioned here. Can you give any more information on this, or tell me who I can contact at DharmaDictionary.org? I'm afraid I was a bit hasty in reverting your addition to Rechungpa, but, eventually, if we can't establish the copyright status, we are going to have to exclude Rangjung Yeshe material from Wikipedia.
 * Rangjung / Erik Pema Kunsang is probably the best person to contact about rywiki issues as he is the publisher of the dictionary and the main editor of rywiki. [KT] 08:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've gotten in touch with him.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 22:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

On Chöd, you added the English spelling "Shee Ché" for zhi-byed. This looks a little unusual, but it seems like a reasonable attempt to imply the correct pronunciation. There's been some discussion on Wikipedia of the best way to transcribe Tibetan names in a phonetic spelling. One suggestion was to use the system developed by the Chinese government, which would make bzhi-byed into "Xiqê".
 * tbh, I most likely got the transliteration from someone else's project. I personally do not use accented vowels.  I would be unable to contribute using the system that the Chinese government developed. [KT]  08:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm not suggesting a precipitous change to the spelling. I think "Shije" is probably a more common spelling, but "Shee Ché" looks like it would give English-speakers a clearer idea of how it's pronounced.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 22:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you have a non-functiong on your userpage. If you could translate the phrases "This user is able to contribute with a basic level of Tibetan" and "These users speak Tibetan" into Tibetan, I'd be happy to get the template and categories set up.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 23:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I will look into that. May I replace "User" with a more general noun such as "Person"?  [KT]  08:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure, I don't see why that would be a problem.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 22:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Tibetan Scouting
Can you help render "Be Prepared", the Scout Motto, into Tibetan script? Thanks! Chris 07:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
