I would like to state that surely the Yurts of Central Asia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan etc are still 'Yurts' even if they utilise a canvas cover over an underlying cover of felt? This is quite common in some areas and certainly in Mongolia (Gers) where it is cheaper for the Yurt owner to use canvas instead of replacing an old felt cover due to the high value of sheep fleeces.

message: I have recently uploaded a new page to my website. It discusses the recreation of a Turkoman Yurt from original plan and is the same plan for the design of the 'Turkestan Yurt' pictured on the Wikipedia Yurt page. 
It covers Yurt shapes, terminology, regional information relating specifically to the Turkoman Yurt and other valuable information.
The page can be found at http://www.yurtshop.com/history_of_yurts.html and will be added to as i continue to interpret the reconstruction conclusions and research.
I would like this page be added as a useful external link in the Wiklipedia Yurts page

thread_title:  Updated page with more history and info relating the Turkestan Yurt pictured 

message: Does the community think that there should be mention of other structures that are inspired by the traditional yurt? I am thinking about things like Tapered-wall wooden yurts and frame-panel wooden yurts as documented by http://yurtinfo.org. Though not traditional yurts, it seems valuable to include structures that get inspiration from the yurt.
What are the thoughts on creating a new dedicated page about shelters that have evolved from the yurt? Does anyone else detect a negative tone under the "modern yurts" section concerning structures not strictly adhering to the authors interpretation? Perhaps this page can remain geared towards the traditional structures, and a new page can discuss structures that have evolved or taken inspiration from the yurt.

replies: text: I don't think there's enough noteworthy information about variations and derivatives of the yurt to warrant a separate article, fine structures though they may be.  -- Super Aardvark 17:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When sufficient new structures have been added to the existing page (I would suggest three items), I would support the creation of a separate page. BrainyBabe 18:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

:All the sources I've seen online indicate that the word can refer to either a vehicle or a structure built on the ground. -- Super Aardvark 18:42, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I know that yurts are also used in China, not just by Inner Mongolians, but probably also by some other minorities. However, I do not think the Chinese name is relevant in this article, as yurts are no Han Chinese dwelling. The Russian name is relevant for ethymology, and because it might appear sometimes in english texts , but I don't think we should create a list of words for yurts in foreign languages. In fact, I know a yurt that is located less than three km from where I am writing now, still I don't think it is appropriate to add the German word for yurt into the article. 
If you could, say, provide evidence that Hui frequently live in yurts and call their dwelling Menggu bao, then we might include the Chinese name. Otherwise I don't really see the point.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaan (talk • contribs) 18:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymolgy 

message: The word is used not only this kind of special tents but rather for the whole camp or homestead.It was mistakenly applied to the tent by European travellers and from their reports naturally found its way into the vocabulary of ethnologists. The word in Turkish is"Çadır" intead of "Yurt"for such kind of tents.(reference= Kaare Gronbech, The Steppe Region in the World History)
