Talk:Jamgon Kongtrul

message: I added a clean up tag. This article obviously needs some work, but in particular the section listing details of books by volumes is almost like a contents table, and not really encyclopedic. Some have not even been published! The article also needs proper references. Billlion (talk) 15:48, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: His Treasury of Knowledge, published in Tibetan in the 19th century, is renowned. It's also huge, each part is a major book in its own right. And the translation effort has been part by part so far because each part is a book on its own. The Treasury of Knowledge is more like an encyclopedia in a way. Do you have any suggestions though for how to better present the information?  I'm not sure you could remove the subpart details for each book without losing useful information and also then lacking a way of connecting which English translation (by Snow Lion and others) has been completed since they're publishing full books one part at a time. - Owlmonkey (talk) 18:48, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't realis it was that important. Maybe the Treasury of Knowledge should have its own article in which the contents are described in more detail?Billlion (talk) 05:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. I think it definitely should long term, I'm not sure we have all the details about each part yet (and I don't read Tibetan). But the translation effort is full swing, shouldn't be much longer. There has been tremendous progress over the last five years. As it concludes we can summarize what is included in each part, that would be useful. Or I guess we could start now. The same thing is probably needed for Ju Mipham's corpus as well, in 27 (plus four restricted) volumes. - Owlmonkey (talk) 05:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean up tag

message: I changed the verb "tonsured" to "installed". Tonsure is solely an (archaic) Christian admission of Holy Orders wherby one recieves a tonsure hairstyle. "Installed" is perhaps more appropriate in that it doesn't use the additional conotations of the specific rite. Sean --124.180.185.83 (talk) 02:40, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor change 

message: To me it would seem that this article is now about a string of people, as poer all the wikilinks, rather than just the one person.  I would suggest that the lead of this article b rewritten in that regard. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:41, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have edited it to make more sense, but it still remains an article mainly about one central figure, Lodro Thaye, while his tulkus (recognized incarnations) are ultimately of lesser/subordinate importance to the main figure.  Javierfv1212 21:13, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
