Bjendag Gewog

Thanks Nthep for your revedits to this page, which are much appreciated. We are conducting editing workshops in Bhutan with nuns and monks to explain the logic and rules of English Wikipedia, so that they can help develop their Dzongkha Wikipedia. It is extremely helpful to have demonstrated to them how the WP community collaborates to ensure the quality and rigour of the content. (Notions of plagiarism can be difficult to grasp because in the monastic setting they are required to copy texts exactly. Thats how the texts retain their integrity over centuries. Western notions of copyright are poorly understood.) Its also helpful for them to understand the oversight provided by admins, as their community will need people to take such roles. So, many thanks! Doctor 17 (talk) 09:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

@Doctor 17 thanks. It's good to see a positive come out of these rather than the negatives it normally ends in. That's a hell of a culture shift for them to deal with, going from exact duplication to summarising - I wish them (and you) good luck for the future. Nthep (talk) 12:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
