[[User::Buddhawelt]], thank you for your contribution to the Tibetan art article. I see that the text you added is directly copied from another source at www.qhnews.com. Unless their writing is in the public domain we cannot use it on Wikipedia. Perhaps you can do some independent research on Regong Art and write your own version to add to this article? The contribution does seem worthwhile. In the meantime I'm removing the text which we cannot use. technopilgrim 07:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Greek influence
I would like to question the relevance of the first paragraph: it sounds a bit absurd to me (and a sign of western tunnel-vision) to start an article on Tibetan Buddhist art with a paragraph on Greek influence. Although this is posed by some scholars, I am not aware that this Greek influence is either large or even proven with any certainty. It would be like starting a age on European culture with art in China because there might have been an influence via the Silk Road or something... rudy 11:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with your concerns. This reference early on in the article, seems a bit like saying, never mind the natives, a confused Columbus discovered America! Maybe this heading could be moved to a side bar with the preface, "Some scholars believe..."--Tibetanmuseum 21:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
