Description erronée

[edit]

Il ne s'agit pas de yourtes mongoles, mais de tentes à structure métallique que l'on retrouve dans différentes régions de Chine, comme au Tibet. Ces tentes ne sont pas caractéristiques de la culture mongole, et leur structure est généralement produite par des soudeurs Hui et parfois Han. Dans le cas de la présente photographie, l'ornementation est de style tibétain et n'est pas à proprement parler d'essence mongole (bien que les deux soient étroitement liés, cela va de soi).--6-A04-W96-K38-S41-V38 (talk) 10:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Encore une fois des arguments fantaistes sorti de je ne sais quel chapeau. Il s'agit en fait de tentes yugur (turco-mongols), et non mongoles comme je le pensais au début. En raison de leurs origines turco-mongols, ils utilisent donc de nombreux symboles communs avec les mongols, avec ce mélange de tengrisme et de bouddhisme vajrayāna. Je suis content d'avoir pu photographier cela, ils sont très peu nombreux. Merci de dire des bêtises, ça fait avancer wikipedia, je pense qu'il faut vous laisser parler du coup ^^ Popolon (talk) 23:13, 22 March 2015 (UTC).[reply]
Je répète, il ne s'agit pas d'une yourte, mais d'une tente. Son ornementation, y compris sa frange, est de style typiquement tibétain. Les tentes mongoles (je parle des tentes - maikhan- et non des yourtes - ger-) sont le plus souvent de couleur bleue et sont décorées dans un style différent; elles n'ont généralement pas de frange. Quant à votre dernière invention (il s'agirait de yourtes yugur), il conviendrait de sourcer tout cela car vous n'êtes pas sans savoir qu'il n'y a qu'une centaine de yugur vivant au Qinghai, et pas forcément en bordure d'autoroute à proximité d'un village modèle en construction.--6-A04-W96-K38-S41-V38 (talk) 11:42, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For those who may visit this page from the admin noticeboard, here is a summary in English about this cross-wiki dispute (commons, fr.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org): Popolon initially insisted that this picture clearly represented a mongolian yurt, while I am stating that this is not a yurt and it does not have either the typical color or features of a Mongolian tent (maikhan). Instead, this is a rather typical Tibetan-style white cotton tent (ras-gur). The distinction between Mongolian and Tibetan tents is well explained in this document. Later on, Popolon suddenly modified the whole description to make it a Yugur yurt rather than a Mongolian one. My point is that Yugur do not use yurts at all and that their tents are very similar to the ones used by Tibetans, it would therefore be very difficult to distinguish a Yugur from a Tibetan ras-gur (if at all possible, see here and here). According to official statistics there are only about 100 Yugur poeple living in the whole Qinghai (where the picture was taken), versus 1.4 million Tibetans. Furthermore, the picture was taken along the national road, away from Gansu province where the majority of Yugur people live. Such an extraordinary claim (Yugur yurt) should require some evidence, which Popolon tried to fabricate through his recent additions. Unfurtunately they all represent source distortions. Where Popolon initially saw a "typical mongolian symbol, also used by Yugur", it was indeed, as I explained him in the French WP, the Chinese symbol for longevity (also used by Tibetans and Mongols, as explained in the article about himalayan tents that I mentioned to him)... With this new knowledge, Poplon changed again the description from "typical Mongol" to "Han originated symbol used by mongols and also used by Yugurs"... Not wrong as such, but this conveniently omits the fact that Tibetans do also frequently use this symbol on their tents, as stated in the source... And so on, and so on... Bottom line is: there is no evidence at all that this tent would be a yugur yurt.--6-A04-W96-K38-S41-V38 (talk) 14:34, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move proposal

[edit]

I propose to rename the file with the following title that would solve the existing dispute between the Tibetan-Yugur-Mongol characteristics of the tent: Decorated tent near lake Qinghai--6-A04-W96-K38-S41-V38 (talk) 23:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
