Title is Karmapa, not Karmapa Lama. Corrected page title changed back to incorrect page title, in error

Latest comment: 15 hours ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Sorry, Hey man im josh, I see you're an administrator, but you incorrectly re-moved or reversed the corrected page title.

1 The Karmapa's title is 'Karmapa', or 'Gyalwang Karmapa', and not 'Karmapa Lama'. It has never been 'Karmapa Lama'. Where did this error originate?

See the name list of the 17 Karmapas here https://kagyuoffice.org/karmapa/the-17-karmapas/ or look at any scholarly site on Tibetan Buddhism, such as Lotsawa House or Treasury of Lives.

2 At the 15th Karmapa Khakhyap Dorje, it has an "h" in his name as per the Karmapa's website, which your re-move there also incorrectly deleted.

Again, see the name list of the 17 Karmapas here https://kagyuoffice.org/karmapa/the-17-karmapas/

3 The naming convention for Tibetan Buddhists is tulku number, then spiritual title, then given name. On this page here, the correct page title is 14th Karmapa, Tekchok Dorje.

- An example is "Texts by the 14th Karmapa, Tekchok Dorje (theg mchog rdo rje, 1798/99–1868/69)" at the scholarly Lotsawahouse.org https://www.lotsawahouse.org/tibetan-masters/fourteenth-karmapa/

- Another example is "The Sixteenth Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpai Dorje" at the scholarly Lotsawahouse.org:scholarly Treasury of Lives: https://treasuryoflives.org/biographies/view/Sixteenth-Karmapa-rang-byung-rig-pai-rdo-rje/11385

These links are very clear, in case there was some doubt for some reason. Therefore, please undue your re-move, since I'm sure it was made in error. Metokpema (talk) 17:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I spent hours as a volunteer correcting all of the page titles for the Karmapas. Please undue all of your reverts, which were clearly made in repetitive errors. Metokpema (talk) 18:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
