Removed to page[edit]
As per the note on my page I have removed the following. Towards the end of the 1930s, around the time the future 14th Dalai Lama was found, Hermanns had the opportunity to meet him, still a child, since he knew the family well. According to Hermanns, the child did not know Tibetan at that time. On being asked his name, he replied in a Chinese dialect that he was called « Chi », the local Chinese name of the village of Taktser).[1]

Easter dinner is getting in the way of my fixing this, but it was improperly cited (by me) from a secondary source, which went back to the Trimondis. Their work's citations of the literature are massive and not usually questioned for their authenticity, but they are not Tibetologists and their work is driven by a left-conspiratorial thesis that renders them, and quotations they use, even if correct, questionable.
