"The road to Nathu La is one of the world's highest navigable roads" - there are so many road passes in the same altitude range (like the Kunzum La between Spiti and Lahaul) and higher (Khunjerab Pass on the KKH) that the designation seems off the mark. Ladakh has three roads going over 5000 : the Manali-Leh road (5300), the road to Panggong Tso (5200) and the road to Nubra (officially 5600, more likely around 5300. Friendship Highway between Kathmandu and Lhasa and the Golmud-Lhasa road also go 5000+. Vistet 04:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Dispute about the political position of Nathu La
Expanded on the article. Needs some input from the Chinese side. =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
The Chinese people have nothing to say with the invader into Sikkim. ^_* ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 18:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I retrieve the deleted discussion of mine. It's a basic etiquette in Wikipedia, not to delete the discussion of others. But it is a pity that the democratical Indians don't allow others to have the freedom of speech. ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 15:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Nussknacker, Please do not make country specific remarks on Wikipedia. Raise the issue with the person concerned. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Almost there
The article is 70% copyedited. I'll be resuming probably tomorrow morning. Any idea what link is causing the category: PDFlink without a parameter to be displayed? =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Did not know what was causing that to appear. I changed "pdflink"s to simple "pdf" in format options of relevant citation templates. The first PDF to appear is wikilinked. Rest are not wikilinked. The category: PDFlink without a parameter has disappeared. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I read the article earlier today and did a round of copy editing, without realizing that the article is being "readied" for FAC. As a "neutral" observer, I think it will make a great candidate - all the best ! Abecedare 19:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
British expedition to Tibet
I personally feel that the coverage of British expedition to Tibet is beyond what should be covered in this article. The pass was just en route to Tibet, nothing critical for the expedition. The coverage can be reduced to half of what is now. — Ambuj Saxena (☎) 06:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Copyedit
Note on copyedit
While copyediting the History section, I ran across a couple of possible POV issues. I removed them from the published text via hidden comments. Please refer to them and revise as necessary. Thank you, and good job on the article overall! Galena11 00:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the copyedit. I have removed the 'weasel wording' but have retained the other. The reason is that the text in question is the brief mention of the subject in the link, and not a POV. The reason why the British expedition to Tibet was launched was to keep out Russian influence. I have now rephrased the sentence. =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
