Confused
I am baffled as to why you added this to the article on Tibet: "In China, only a few laurel poets had ever used 'motherland' to refer China in their poems after 1960s. Other Chinese never ever use 'motherland' to refer to China." The article was very specifically referring to the Tibetan word ma-yul, which means "motherland". I have no idea why you added a discussion of "motherland" in Chinese.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 03:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- The reason I did that is to show that the sentence Chinese use motherland to refer their country is not true. I should simply delete that sentence. But I do not like to delet other people wrote. I would rather to add some facts after that to show that sentence is not true or misleading. If you delet my added sentence, you shold also delete the sentence before it which calims chinese used motherland to refer their country. Thanks.
- Which sentence? There is no sentence that says that.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 15:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
The last sentence under Name in Tibet
- That sentence is obviously referring to the word which means "motherland" in Tibetan. It even tells you which word that is: ma yul. I don't know where you see in this sentence the claim that the Chinese use "motherland" to refer to their country.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 04:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
