Tibetan art
Making a sand mandala

- Comment: Many other potential hooks (and images)
5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 14:39, 3 October 2022 (UTC).
Substantial article on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed but a bit restless in this size. The best pic is the contemporary one, - perhaps with a hook about history from ... to that? A clause with (pictured) is still wanted, and I like the hook to go with an image. The next best for this purpose is the sculpture of the dancer. The Baddha is a pic showing well, but - at least to my uneducated eyes - not specifically Tibetan. - In the article (not needed for approval, just suggesting): I'm not happy with a one-line section History in the middle of influences, while Buddhaist art is mentioned much sooner. Perhaps history overview at the beginning, then the styles? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:41, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'm in the middle of adding more images, so it might be best to wait on this. There's a contradiction between "The best pic is the contemporary one" and "I like the hook to go with an image"! Also I doubt the contemporary one would be allowed on main page. I'm expanding the history, but (see the hook) I don't think it should go higher up. There's nearly nothing on "styles" & I think that is too complicated to get into.

- Thank you for explaining, and I hope for an impressive image, because it's too good a topic to go without. Please ping me when I should look again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:33, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Temple built in 1970
- Gerda, how about this? Johnbod (talk) 14:26, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- You mean with the proposed hook?
Fine for me. Someone will ask for "pictured" or place it, but I think that's what the licensed image shows. Thank you for all the additions! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it works well with the same hook. Can you add GTG & a tick if happy, thanks, Johnbod (talk) 04:31, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- I added the tick already, no? It's already in the approved list. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
