Pilgrimage

edit

I am afraid the Pilgrimage section is badly wrong. The citation is to a map in Toni Huber's book, which shows multiple pilgrimage routes. Of these, two were the most important, an annual pilgrimate route that was 3-days long, and 12-year pilgrimage route that was a month-long. Please see this source for an excellent summary:

  • Arpi, Claude (2013), "The Pure Crystal Mountain Pilgrimage of Tsari", 1962: The McMahon Line Saga, Lancer Publishers, ISBN 9781935501404

It should also be noted that the last 12-year pilgrimage happened in 1956 (the same year as the "Big Map of PRC", in which the Kongka Pass was shown as the boundary of Tibet in the west). -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Religious significance

edit

This mountain is an extremely important site for religious purposes, which needs to be covered. Please see Toni Huber's Chapter 4. Perhaps Ms Sarah Welch can help? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:32, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Single source

edit

Editors of this article have to keep in mind that everything shouldn't be referenced to a single source. DTM (talk) 16:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

A scholarly book counts as as many "sources" as the citations it gives. But why are you raising this? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I had remembered that there was a template for Template:One sourceThis section relies largely or entirely on a single source.. The single source of course is Toni Huber's book. I had just had a passing thought that everything can't be taken solely from his book. But then yes, what you wrote A scholarly book counts as as many "sources" as the citations it gives stands true.
