Head of Kagyu?

Can someone knowledgeable clarify the relationship between the Karmapas, the Karma Kagyu lineage, and the Kagyu school as a whole? The Karmapas are sometimes described as the head of the Kagyu school, but I sometimes get the impression that, while they are the most recognizable Kagyu lamas, they are really only the boss of their own Karma Kagyu subset. - Nat Kraus e 16:05, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Necessity for carefully footnoting added material

This article has apparently so far been taken with permission from Ken Holmes' book Karmapa which is on a web site. It is most important, therefore, that any added material or changes are carefully referenced so that there can be no mistaking what came from Ken Holmes' book and what is new material. I will do this with some additions I will make - but just thought I should make this request now in case others wish to make changes or additions. Cheers, John Hill 07:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

– Hey man im josh (talk), at 19:38, 22 November 2024 (UTC), unilaterally submitted this move request on behalf of @Metokpema without coordination after Metokpema submitted this issue to the Edit Warring Administrators. Metokpema is now completing this group move request properly by adding justification and source links in support of the moves. These moves follow two very simple points:[reply]

The Karmapa's title is 'Karmapa', and can be 'Gyalwang Karmapa', but is not 'Karmapa Lama' and has never been Karmapa Lama:

This elementary point is confirmed by the Karmapa himself at kagyuoffice.org, where their list of the 17 Karmapas do not have 'Lama' in their name. Their tulku title has never been 'Karmapa Lama', and why or when it was mistakenly used as their title on Wikipedia is not clear since no one has provided any evidentiary support for these incorrect titles.
Three other respected academic sites that have presences on the internet all support this point. They are treasuryoflives.org , whose biographical articles are peer reviewed; and lotsawahouse.org , whose team of translators are highly respected and their open access to buddhist texts is commendable; and bdrc.org , the Buddhist Digital Resource Center, whose library of texts authored by the Karmapas list them exclusively as karma pa (in the Wylie translation of Tibetan).
To assume wrongly that every tulku lineage has Lama in their title is rather shocking, especially in an encyclopedic setting.

The next very simple point is that the Tulku title naming convention for Tibetan Buddhists is tulku number, then spiritual title, then given name, as in the 8th Karmapa, Mikyo Dorje'.

Again, this Tulku naming convention is used by the above listed highly reliable sources, and by innumerable published academic journals and their qualified authors. Minor differences could include writing or spelling the tulku number (as in '8th Karmapa' or 'Eighth Karmapa') and these moves propose keeping the number system as in '8th Karmapa'.
Additionally, the Tibetan language version uses karma pa 08 where the number follows the tulku title, whereas the English translations prefer the number preceding the tulku title. These moves propose to keep the English version of number placement.

All of these links, and more links, and more examples and more points can be found at Talk:Theckchok Dorje, 14th Karmapa Lama, which is where this request for moves should have been posted.Metokpema (talk) 10:16, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, this is on behalf of another user, I do not necessarily agree with the proposed titles. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:38, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I'm of the opinion that, if the title is incorrect and should be "Karmapa", we should treat it like we do a lot of other titles. What I mean by this is keeping 1st Karmapa, 2nd Karmapa, etc., at the end of the article title. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is an encyclopaedia. Frankly, your personal opinions do not matter since reliable academic sources prevail. Metokpema (talk) 10:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How dare you

How dare you Hey man im josh ignore WP conventions and refuse to discuss your unsourced personal opinions which qualifies as edit warring; how dare you then unilaterally submit the move 'on my behalf' after edit warring; how dare you try to tank the move by failing to co-ordinate with me, failing to submit it properly , and not submitting it at Talk:Theckchok Dorje, 14th Karmapa Lama.
