[edit] Modern Mongolia

This article should include information about Modern Mongolia and other eras of Mongolian history, not just the Khan era. Or change the name of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.19.111 (talk) 02:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Title and content of this article match perfectly. You seem to be confusing Mongols and Mongolians. --Latebird (talk) 13:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hoax?

This almost seems a contradiction in terms, an exaggerated fantasy of a few isolates. Why does this deserve its own article? I see every straw has been pulled to fancify this notion. 24.255.11.149 (talk) 09:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

"I don't like the documented facts so they must be a hoax", right? --Latebird (talk) 12:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

What facts are those? Christianity was and is a minority religion amongst the Mongols. This article, prior to some needed edits, attempted to paint a false historical picture, and was changed. Trying to adapt history to fit modern notions is hardly a way to write an article. Atari400 07:21, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Few Wikipedia articles include citations and references like this one. In any case, if you want to criticize an article, you'll have to point out specific issues. Right now, I still don't have the slightest clue what your actual problem is. --Latebird (talk) 00:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wang Khan

Wang is Chinese for King, Khan is Mongolian, so "King and Khan" only makes sense as translation from the Chinese. Since this article is about Christianity among the Mongols, it's probably better not to translate the title at all. Actually, I am not sure whether we should put the title into quotation marks. We don't write "Genghis Khan" Temüjin or "Gür Khan" Jamuqa, do we? Yaan (talk) 18:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
