Very comprehensive. I should have this to you tomorrow JAGUAR  19:54, 12 September 2015 (UTC)


### Initial comments
"formerly Lhasa Prefecture, is a prefecture-level city, one of the main administrative divisions" - missing "and"?
Well it's saying that the prefecture-level city is one of the main divisions so I think it's OK.
"The Han Chinese population was mainly concentrated in urban areas" - still as of the 2000 census?
at the time..
"Chengguan District is also the center of Tibet in terms of transport, communications, education and religion, the most developed part of Tibet and a major tourist destination with sights such as the Potala Palace" - the sentence here is a bit choppy. It might sound better as Chengguan District is also the center of Tibet in terms of transport, communications, education and religion, as well as being the most developed part of Tibet and a major tourist destination with sights such as the Potala Palace...
Done.
"Contact with India began along" - might be worth changing this to the Indian continent
Continent? It's a country bordering Tibet!
I meant when it was a separate continent millions of years ago, sorry I should've been clearer! JAGUAR  21:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
"The Lhasa valley is roughly the same latitude as the southern US" - should read as full "United States"
Done.
"Products include braziers, flower pots, vases, jugs and so on" - and vice versa?
just changed it to and jugs.

" China National Highway 318 runs through Qüxü County from Lhasa" - China National Highway 318 is already linked above in this section
Delinked.
"said to have been founded in 1055 by Dromtön, a pupil of Atiśa" - "student"? I can't check this source to see what it says as it's in Chinese nevermind, the source says "pupil"!
"Perhaps 250,000 people live in the city and in towns" approximately
Done
"The first drug rehabilitation center in Tibet was being constructed in Duilongdeqing County in 2009. It would provide physiological rehabilitation, psychological therapy" - I think this is in the wrong tense
Added "was planned"


#### References
Historical Dra Yerpa temple in Tibet is dead
Research on the rational use of water resources on the Lhasa River, Tibet is dead
"The Tibetan Plateau: Regional Stratigraphic Context and Previous Work" ref has a harvref error - needs correcting
Aymatth2 Can you fix?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:58, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Fixed. I found alternative sites holding the two deadlink documents, and removed the unused source "The Tibetan Plateau: Regional Stratigraphic Context and Previous Work" Aymatth2 (talk) 10:03, 15 September 2015 (UTC)


### On hold
This is a very well written and comprehensive article, even deserving of FA status. I hope I didn't miss anything vital out, but it took me an hour just to read through the prose (and I checked through most of the sources), but most of it is fine. Once all of the above are clarified then this should easily pass  JAGUAR  15:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
@Jaguar: We're all good now I think, thanks for the review.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:59, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for addressing them! Very good article. Might be worth taking to FA one day  JAGUAR  19:02, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

I notice that Baidu Baike has been used a few times as sources in this article. Baidu Baike is basically a clone of Wikipedia, but with nonexistent guidelines regarding notability and copyright. This means that these sources are WP:USERGENERATED and should be avoided. sstflyer 17:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

This table looks horrible on my mobile. This is way too much detail in an overview in the English Wikipedia.  The individual articles on the counties and districts show the Tibetan and Chinese characters and transliterations, which are not needed at this level. If there are no objections, I will trim the table down to the meaningful information: name, pop, area, density. Otherwise I will at least put name, pop, area, density on the left of the table, where they can be seen without sideways scrolling, and leave the other symbols to the right. Snye mo rdzong? Aymatth2 (talk) 00:36, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

@Aymatth2: leave the other symbols to the right Do you mean that the Tibetan and hanzi script are pushed to the right of the hard numbers? If so, that seems a sensible solution compared to leaving script out altogether. CaradhrasAiguo (talk) 18:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
@CaradhrasAiguo: Yes, my second best was to shove the symbols and transliterations to the right. The trouble is that on a mobile the reader would now see the size and population right away, but still has to scroll right to see if there is anything interesting past the symbols. And of course there is not. A table that cannot fit on a mobile, the primary viewing device for Wikipedia, is too wide. Another way to do it would be to hide the symbols and transliterations in a separate table, see below:

Note I have also pushed the text up to normal size, easier on old eyes like mine. I have trouble seeing the need to include Tibetan script, meaningless to most readers, in a high-level overview like this. The script is given in the articles on each subdivision for those who need it. But perhaps this is a reasonable compromise. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:09, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Since there were no further comments, I have gone ahead and made the change. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:53, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

A reference to a Tang invasion in 645 was removed correctly. It was noted this was unreferenced inline as was entire history section so expert attention may be required. ChaseKiwi (talk) 16:16, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
