the "ban" problem

Thank you for your note on Shugden controversy with respect to the term "ban". I changed parts of the article, adding Thurman, the Dalai Lama and CTA. For the abuse of the term ban see here: http://buddhism-controversy-blog.com/2014/03/07/the-western-shugden-groups-campaign-against-the-dalai-lamas-ban-of-shugden-worship/ Kt66 (talk) 12:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

DL article section

ok, thank you, I added my opinion. I am strict for WP:RS and the other WP rules. You can contact me also in the future in similar cases though I am rather absent than present in WP, I am willing to minor contributions. Kt66 (talk) 17:03, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Re: Your message

You asked "Is it proper for Truthsayer62 to insert a large amount of Shugden websites at Dorje Shugden Controversy?" Please see what I write in the talk page of the article. Chris Fynn (talk) 07:50, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

On 2 May 2014 You wrote: WP:UGC: "Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs', and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control."'

Of course such sources are acceptable - but still not nearly as good as when the same person publishes a properly referenced article in a peer reviewed journal or book. The key is the "peer review" which means other experts have checked it too. Chris Fynn (talk)

Hi Heicth, I tried to balance and added some templates to Western Shugden Society. This article is an utter mess. Please keep an eye on it that the campaigners don’t remove the templates and some of the corrections I added. I lack time to engage. Kt66 (talk) 09:43, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Re: 14th Dali Lama

Please see my recent reply to your comment on the talk page of that article. You also may be interested in this. Chris Fynn (talk) 12:03, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Shugden sect

Hi, maybe interesting for you especially what Dr. Hill adds at the end:

The final point he makes is that the Dalai Lama is often accused by the pro-Shugden side as suppressing freedom of religion. “This accusation makes no sense,” states Dr Hill. “The Dalai Lama is not head of any state; he has no military or police at his command; he has no political jurisdiction over which he can exercise suppression.” “Some members of the Gelug sect left the authority of the Dalai Lama in order to follow what they see as a purer form of religion. These people may not be very popular in other parts of the Gelug sect, but their human rights have not been violated nor their freedoms suppressed; even if some people did want to suppress or silence the pro-Shugen side, they simply have no means of doing so,” Dr Hill concludes.
