Why was "Mongolia" here? S.B. Odin 20:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The beginning is good

Strange things happen when three persons are editing one page at once... My major changes are:

1. According to Russian maps (e.g. N-47) "Sayanskiy khrebet" is a small part of the Sayany mountain range. "Sayany" is its common Russian name.

2. "Bel-kem" from Britannica is obsolete. (Has it ever been correct?) Topographic maps use "Ulug-Khem" as the alternative name of Upper Yenisey.

[edit] Mongolia, Tannu-Ola and so on

1. The words "the Sayan Mountains are the north border-ridge of the plateau of northwest Mongolia, along with the Baikal Mountains and separate that region from Siberia" are not correct at all. There is a vast Tuva depression (Russian: Тувинская котловина) between Sayany and Tannu-Ola_Mountains which belongs to Russia and, therefore, not to Mongolia. Furthermore, the Baikal mountains, according to the corresponding article, maps and whatever else, are situated to the north-west from Baikal Lake. In my opinion, this sentence should be removed until someone gives its source.

2. I don't see any reason why this article belongs to the Category:Altay. As for me, it shouldn't.

3. I'm not sure that links to Russian topographic maps can be useful in english Wikipedia, but they are reliable source. If someone has another opinion- let's discuss it.

4. Isn't this article still a stub?

This article seems to be the source of that sentence. Probably in 1911 Tuva was a part of Mongolia. S.B. Odin 22:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
