[edit] Ordos people

I had moved this page here, Ordos refers to a Mongol people appeared in the 15th century that had occupied that area. The Ordos people shown no hits at Google Book Search as well[1]. I also removed the infobox, since it pretty much useless, not much a useful way of summarising information that we can get for this article. Eiorgiomugini 17:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

What does "Those features generally declayed in further south" mean? PHG 20:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incomprehensible English

"Many depictions of the Ordos people tend to have straighten hair."

Does this mean they had "straight hair"? or does it mean they did something to "straighten their hair"?Jakob37 02:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

The issue is discussed on User talk:Nlu, among other pages. --Ghirla^-трёп- 09:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geography

The following passage would seem to be impossible:

"They were in contact and often at war with the pre-Han and Han populations of the period. Their former territory is now located just south of the Great Wall of China, and on the south bank of the northernmost hook of the Yellow river."

The great wall ran along the Ordos/Loess border, far south of the "Northernmost hook" of the Huanghe. Also, which hook? Elijahmeeks 01:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
