This article is hardly NPOV. Furthermore, it seems that it has been translated (poorly, probably by means of BabelFish or the like) into French and German, replacing the previous versions on those pedias. /The Phoenix 09:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] THIS ARTICLE IS VERIFIED FACTS WITH TONS OF INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES

This article looks correct. The Phoenix, if you don't know please read more in the internet.

• Whether the facts are true or false is irrelevant - the main point is that the sources of information must be cited in the article.--Aleron235 03:21, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The POV problem has been reduced, but not elimintated:

• If you want to claim that MPRP politicians are corrupt, then you need to prove that, and news reporting doesn't count as proof in this context. You either need someone to publically admit his corruption, or a court decision. (Writing "the DP thinks they are corrupt" would be ok).
• The word frantic is POV.
• You write that "MPRP illegally overthrew" his governement. Can you show which clauses of the constitution were violated? Because if there is no violation of the constitution, then the governement change was legal (coalition contracts are not legally binding).
• "More than half of the population who voted for DP" can't be correct, because the DP doesn't hold more than half of the seats in parliament (non-MPRP doesn't automatically mean DP).

And that's just some of the problems with one single paragraph. There's still a lot of work to be done here.

Btw: Those "tons of international resources" are urtimately based on just two or three agency reports. There's no point in listing them all. Better try to trace down the original reports (AP/Reuters/etc.) and just list those. --Latebird 10:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

POV Corrected.

This article is neutral. Why do you keep posting POV sign? --Okonji 03:27, 16 February 2006 (UCT)

You seem to have quite a different idea of "neutral" than the rest of the world. My points above are just a few examples of the existing POV, and you didn't even take notice of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of him personally, but the current text is pure propaganda, and not fit for an encyclopedia. --Latebird 07:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

The same stuff has now appeared in the article about Miyeegombo Enkhbold. --Latebird 00:39, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Because Miyeegombo Enkhbold overthrew Elbegdorj's government, the fact belongs to both people. -- Lemonhead 18:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

This article is still not NPOV. I did a major edit to this article, which includes grammar corrections. Some may think that I am against Elbegdorj because I removed some of the harsh criticisms of the communist government and some of the most praising language for Elbegdorj. This is not true; he seems like a great person and leader from what I have read, but some of the language off this article is not generally appropriate for articles in Wikipedia.
