message: This article is heavily Roylee-affected and needs to be cleaned up to conform to WP:NOR, WP:CS, and WP:RS policies. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Roylee and User:Mark Dingemanse/Roylee. Yes, I have seen that many statements are referenced somehow. Unfortunately, there is no reason to trust Roylee's edits and his use of sources. — mark ✎ 19:26, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Unverified information

message: The article does not mention the impact of Stalin's personality cult. Had the mentioned "expedition" of 1933-34 not pleaded for preservation of the palace, Karakorum would have suffered complete destruction like what happened to the majority of the Mongolian monasteries.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.173.226.152 (talk) 13:37, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: missing Stalin Era

message: The reference for the destruction of Karakorum in 1388 is given at the end of the paragraph, and is, I think, roughly on par with the Cambridge history of China reliably-wise when it comes to the history of Karakorum. And please note that the fact that something is not mentioned in a work about China does not mean it did not happen. More references for 1388 can be easily found with the help of google books and the like. I will check again if the one used for the article does mention Xu Da or not.
That said, there seem to be also sources that say the city was destroyed in 1380 already. My guess is this means that historians simply are not very sure when exactly it happened. Yaan (talk) 16:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Classic Mongolian

message: The spelling of the name is completely different than how it is actually pronounced in Mongolian. A better transliteration would be "Kharakhorim" or "Harahorim". The X in Mongolian Cyrillic makes a 'kh' sound like in the Scottish 'loch'. The city shouldn't follow the same spelling of the Karakorum Highway in Pakistan, which is pronounced very differently.

thread_title:  Spelling? 

message: That redirects to Naves as in naves of churches, not to wheel hubs. I don't know enough how to change that to redirect to wheel hubs. Could someone please fix that?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There is a section in this article that claims "A large tree sculpted of silver and other precious metals rose up from the middle of the courtyard and loomed over the palace, with the branches of the tree extending into the building. Silver fruit hung from the limbs and it had four golden serpents braided around the trunk, while within the top of the tree was placed a trumpet angel, all as automata performing for the emperor's pleasure. When the khan wanted to summon the drinks for his guests, the mechanical angel raised the trumpet to his lips and sounded the horn, whereupon the mouths of the serpents began to gush out a fountain of alcoholic beverages into the large silver basin arranged at the base of the tree." I have never even used the talk section of wikipedia, but this is ridiculous. its only source is an obscure and controversial book "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" I'm not even sure that this book contains this information.
