Wikipedia:WikiProject Tibet

Welcome! The aim of this project is to standardize and improve articles related to Tibet and the Tibet Autonomous Region. It is also to establish missing articles related to Tibet including geography (Tibetan villages) as well as to improve and create missing articles relating to Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism.

See the draft version of List of basic Tibet topics for a list of articles which need to be created.

Naming conventions
For the transcription of Tibetan words and names, and for the naming of articles, please see the proposed naming convention for Tibetan.

Requested articles

Requested photographs

Towns and villages
There is an ongoing drive to improve all of the articles in List of towns and villages in Tibet. One of our goals is to add and infobox and locator map for all 800 odd places and begin adding basic encyclopedic data and transliterations. This is the infobox for settlements in Tibet. Please add this and fill in the relevant data if you see an article on a town or village missing it.

Articles by quality statistics and box for articles
The banner above produces the following statistics.

Structure
Current:


 * Tibetan Buddhism provides an overview of the topic, with short descriptions of all the major subtopics.
 * Tibetan Buddhist canon

"Tibetan Buddhism series" box
The compact (but expandable) "Tibetan Buddhism series" box Tibetan Buddhism can be placed on the main page of appropriate articles.

Categories
We have the following categories currently:


 * Category:Tibetan Buddhism

Article Construction
''Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject. Include various categories applicable to the topic.''

We should probably discuss article types, which may have different parameters. Example types might be:

Texts
Articles on texts should include:


 * Text's title. Should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
 * Authorship, if known. If the supposed authorship of a text is not established by scholarship, list it as an attribution: "The text is attributed to such-and-such." Name or names of the author should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
 * Date
 * Place of origin (if known); should be also given in Wylie transliteration.
 * A rough overview of the contents of the text
 * Separate sections for particularly important ideas in the text. Alternatively, short descriptions and links to articles on said ideas.
 * Whatever caveats regarding disputes over readings of the text, etc.
 * Associated sect(s) (Indicate, where appropriate, whether the text originated within the sect or was adopted by it after the fact.)
 * A table of translations, like this one:


 * A "See also" section for internal links.
 * An "External links" section for articles about the text, electronic versions of the text. (Separate sections for this?)

Tibetan links

 * Official government website of the Central Tibetan Administration
 * Tibetan language page
 * Official Website of Students for a Free Tibet
