political position

edit

Should the 14th Dalai Lama's political position, if any, from 1963 to 1991 be described and how? Vacosea (talk) 20:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Actually, from March 1959 when the Dalai Lama legally refuted the 17 point agreement to today, China's occupation of Tibet has been illegal. This is the 1961 finding of the legal council for the UN.
Thus, he again was the political leader of Tibet after March 1959. So, this includes 1963 and beyond. Metokpema (talk) 14:38, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't think that it should be included. It's misleading and reads like he became head of state of a state which hadn't existed for the past 12 years until 1991. Silly. EmilePersaud (talk) 02:27, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Kundun Movie

edit

Just watched Martin Scorsese's movie "Kundun" that portrays the life of the 14th Dalai Lama. If would be nice to mention this in the article. 68.47.47.224 (talk) 01:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is mentioned in the article. Vacosea (talk) 22:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Taktser

edit

At the time of his birth, the village was not politically part of Tibet. This is reflected in the article itself. I kept Amdo only to avoid undue emphasis. Vacosea (talk) 19:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lead

edit

Why is the lead written in a non-standard style? Don't start the article by saying "he was born on such and such date" in a calendar that Wikipedia doesn't use as its standard for reckoning dates. Start by identifying who he is and what he is notable for. Include birth date in parentheses; use alternate calendar either in a note there or mention it later. Say he's the current Dalai Lama and explain what that is.

Every single other article on individuals follows this format. 100.40.29.68 (talk) 18:05, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
