I had removed this passage from the intro, stating that Lhalu's father was a Qing appointee. For one thing, this does not belong in the lede. More importantly, however, Xinhua is not even close to being a reliable source for this type of information. Xinhua is a journalistic source, not a historical one. I wouldn't necessarily trust a statement from an unbiased journalist for historical accuracy, and Xinhua has the additional disadvantage of having to toe the party line. They would probably say that everyone in Tibet before 1912 was a Qing appointee.
Now, if this were an important point, then it would certainly make sense to teach the controversy. But since a) this is a fact about the subject's father, not about the subject himself, and b) it's not clear what the relevance is, I don't see why we can't just leave it out.— Greg Pandatshang ( talk) 18:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
I had removed this passage in which Strong is cited about Lhalu's purported secessionist activites. This was restored in a modified form a bit later. I don't understand why we should include this vague accusation from an outdated source written by partisan author who doesn't seem to be any kind of expert on Lhalu — the information she provides is apparently just based on what she heard at a show trial in 1959. What specific activities constituted Lhalu's "plotting for Tibet's secession from China", and how does Strong claim to know about this? She doesn't tell us.— Greg Pandatshang ( talk) 19:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
