On my talk page you wrote:
: To Christopher Fynn,
: I am writing from DPPL, official publishing arm of the Drukpa lineage. While we appreciate your detailed contributions to the Drukpa wiki page, our lineage holders consider the lineage to be "Drukpa," rather than "Drukpa Kagyu." We politely request that you refrain from changing the entry back to include "Kagyu." Thank you very much for your understanding.

replies: text: Hi Wendy, there is no point discussing with Chris Fynn, we had a huge discussion with everyone in th globe (Chris Fynn and Sylvain72 are very popular among many of us, including Rinpoches and Tulkus) and found out more about Chris and his background. There are many "scholars" like that. Look, he is still saying "Drukchen Rinpoche" and that's why when some histories were manipulated hundreds of years ago, before we were born, this is the end-result. Let's spend our time building our Wiki. Forget about this!+118.100.72.169 (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Google Book Search currently gives only 14 hits for publications with the phrase "Drukpa Lineage" but 542 for those with "Drukpa Kagyu" ~ something like 1:38. "Drukpa school" has 137 hits, but together at 151 that is still only about a third of those using "Drukpa Kagyu". There are a number of publications using both terms. "Drukpa Kargyu" (with an "r") also has 54 hits,  "Drukpa Kagyupa" 166, and "Drukpa Kargyupa" 46.  Wikipedia:Naming conventions lists "Prevalence in reliable sources" as an important criteria.

thread_title: "Drukpa" vs. "Drukpa Kagyu"

message: The following (and possibly other portions of the article) have some problems with preserving a neutral point of view:
Drukpa lineage continues to thrive and flourish and benefit all sentient beings. It is supported by the state and given unconditional effort by all involved, from the lowest rung to the highest level.
Nonetheless, the 4th Gyalwang Drukpa Pema Karpo left a prediction that he would return with two reincarnations. His other reincarnation, Pagsam Wangpo continued the lineage in Tibet.
The first sentence states a religious belief (that the lineage "benefit[s] all sentient beings"), which cannot be the viewpoint of a neutral source such as Wikipedia; "thrive and flourish" are also probable peacock terms. The second claim of "unconditional effort" is dubious at best, and seems likely also a peacock term. The fourth is no problem, except for needing referencing. The fifth assumes the reality of reincarnation, which is also a religious belief, not the neutral viewpoint of Wikipedia. (I say these things out of no dislike for Buddhism - my wife is a Buddhist - but out of trying to improve Wikipedia.) Allens (talk) 02:41, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
