Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy

Created by DiplomatTesterMan (talk). Self-nominated at 03:22, 16 August 2021 (UTC).

  • New (3 days from creation to nomination); long enough; no sign of copyvio (there was one list of items where the role of quotation marks was difficult to decide; I added the quotation marks); generally follows Wikipedia policy. I smoothed out a bit of the English. However, the hook is not justified literally, since finding a source that can objectively decide when autonomy is "genuine" or not, and whether or not the Dalai Lama's approach was really seeking that or not, is a matter of judgment.
    I propose ALT1. The aim is to focus on the document itself - the Memorandum - rather than on what the Dalai Lama's intentions were or whether the autonomy would have been genuine or not. I also inserted full as a redundant adjective to reduce the chance of misunderstanding of what counts as autonomy and what counts as independence. Would ALT1 (or a new ALT2 or ALT3...) be acceptable?

  • ALT1: ... that the Dalai Lama's 2008 Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy was a specific proposal aiming for autonomy rather than full independence for Tibet? Boud (talk) 03:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Boud, thank you for the changes to the article. I prefer ALT1 over ALT0. DTM (talk) 06:21, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Looks good to go with ALT1. Boud (talk) 10:33, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
      • Just a reminder to the closer: you should in principle double check that ALT1 is acceptable. Boud (talk) 12:52, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
      • do consider it checked. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 02:04, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
