[edit] Contributions on talk pages

Hi Gantuya, please never ever edit the contributions of other editors on talk pages. In a discussion, every editor will offer their opinion in the way they themselfes want to state it. If another editor goes and changes that, then they will put words in somebodys mouth that the person never intended to say. That's very bad style, just as it would be bad style in a real-life discussion. You don't like it if other people "correct" your opinions either, do you? Also, {{fact}} tags are meant for article pages, not for discussions. There is no requirement that an editor provide sources for every statement they make in a discussion. Because of all that, I'm going to restore the contribution by Bogomolov.PL on Talk:Ulan Bator to what he really wanted to say. --Latebird (talk) 06:32, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] g

Hi! g before a consonant does not have dots, does it? Regards, Yaan (talk) 13:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

That's right. That's why it shouldn't be "gh". As I understood (I may have misunderstood) from a discussion with User:Nanshu, "gh" is a "g" with 2 dots before a masculine vowel. Gantuya eng (talk) 05:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
My understanding is that 'gh' is just the g that comes with vowels like a. 'g' without 'h' is the g that comes with vowels like e. But these are just conventions anyway. I reverted your edit mainly because it turned a blue link red. Regards, Yaan (talk) 11:43, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
But it's impossible to pronounce that hard "g" with "h" (meaning g with 2 dots) before a consonant. It will require a hard (masculine) vowel like "a". Pls understand. Gantuya eng (talk) 12:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I am afraid I don't understand. If you can pronounce Hutagt, then you should also be able to pronounce Khutughtu - my understanding is that when the word contains vowels like 'a' (masculine vowels?), then you don't write 'g', you write 'gh' (or γ "gamma"). Whether the 'gh' has dots or not is a different question: If it is followed by a vowel, the 'gh' gets dots (lest it be mistaken for a 'kh' or 'q'), if it is followed by a consonant, it gets none (because there is no 'kh' before consonants). So you write khaghan and khutughtu, but köbsögöl and ligden (not so sure about the correct spelling of the latter in the traditional script, but you get the idea). Yaan (talk) 13:30, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I've looked up that discussion with User:Nanshu and seen I misunderstood what he explained. gh represents masculine forms of g and just g represents the feminine forms of g. It's not about the 2-dot form. Regards, Gantuya eng (talk) 14:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ulaanbaatar

Plese never move articles while the discussion is still going on. Wikipedia does things based on consensus. Your personal perception (or mine) of what may have been "proven" is of no importance. --Latebird (talk) 02:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1696 Battle of Zuunmod(?)

Hi,

I am currently a bit confused about where that decisive battle in 1696 took place. I think the place is called Juun modu in a book I have, and it is said to be at the Tuul river and not too far from Ulaanbaatar. The first and the last bit seem to be consistent with a battle at what is now the center of Central Aimag, but the Tuul river thing is apparently not. Is Juun modu the same word as Zuunmod, and is this a case of several places having the same name, or a case where a place name migrated some dozen kilometres? Regards, Yaan (talk) 14:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Juun modu and Zuunmod are the same word. It's in the area of Terelj. There are many places with the same name. Gantuya eng (talk) 05:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. I actually found a source stating the battle took place near what is now UB, and directly south of it, but just to be on the safe side I will still remove this stuff from the Zuunmod article. Yaan (talk) 11:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
The battle place was near the site where the Terelj river joins the Tuul river. A site with a group of a few trees standing separately is called "Zuunmod" (hundred trees). There are many places with that name -- to the north, east, south of UB. I think I saw somewhere that text speculating the battle site to have been to the south of UB. The author seems to have assumed (erroneously) it's the same as town Zuunmod. Gantuya eng (talk) 03:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I guess it is very easy to make this confusion. My source was in German, so maybe you saw something else. In any case it did not go into any further detail, so it is probably not reliable enough. Yaan (talk) 13:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1921/ far eastern republic

Hi, I wonder if troops of the far eastern republic played any role in the 1921 events. The topic that made me wonder is Timeline of Mongolian history. Regards, Yaan (talk) 21:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Good question. I remember the school map of history showing arrows under legend "the troops of the Far Eastern Republic" for the 1921 events. As I understand the Far Eastern Republic was indeed part of the the Soviet Russia, but was formed by Moscow in the conditions when Siberia was cut away by Kolchak.
