message: Expanded on the article. Needs some input from the Chinese side. =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Erm.... that aside, I'll translate some info from the Chinese Wikipedia soon. -- ran (talk) 05:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the image to the svg one. Svg is ideal for maps, and this one, a scaled one shows the location of Nathula. If there are any problems with the svg one, please let me know, I can correct it. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Although the article's infobox is quite informative, I find it odd to have "Urban area" infobox for a deserted place (i.e. having no permanent residents). — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, I couldn't find a better option for an infobox. The location also marks the Indian location, ideally it should show both nations, including the time zones. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have replaced it with Template:Infobox Indian Jurisdiction. It avoids redirect too. - Ganeshk (talk) 23:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Just to let all Wikipedians know, I am not a native speaker of Tibetan nor Standard Mandarin.  The Mandarin characters are cut-and-paste from the ((zh)) Wikipedia, the Tibetan was my doing.  If anyone out there is an expert in the Tibetan language (or perhaps a Sikkim-native?), then please double-check my work.  Thanks!  --chris 01:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Surely the main Silk Road runs far to the West.  Trade between India and Tibet, yes.  But travellers between India and China normally went round Tibet, which was a formidably difficult to cross.  --GwydionM 17:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was an offshoot of the main Silk Route. See the map on the Silk Route article for details. =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: A reference which points to the the temperature is actually bad. That site copied out text verbatim and claims copyright! =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you know from where it was copied, we can acknowledge the original reference. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, I don't have the source. Was told to me, and with the elevation it is vey likely :( =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Did that site copy from Wikipedia? If not, how can you say that it has copied text. BTW, I have managed to find a ref for the upper limit, and the one in use for the lower limit seems to be the only online reference available for the fact. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cause I wrote the text a looong time back word to word. At that time just a handful online sources were available. :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have temporarily removed the reference. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 05:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have also added the reason for non-availability of such data. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 07:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Let me know when you're done with the additions. The article needs to be polished before FAC. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
