Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Genghis Khan
Self nomination, clean, stable and good article.
- Object; some of the English is clearly non-native. For example, this sentence Traders, clergyman, and envoys were provided with security and guidance under Mongol Empire, in which, for example, some of them reached China including traveller Giovanni da Pian del Carpini under Ogedei Khan's rule and Italian traveller Marco Polo to Beijing under Kubilai Khan's rule, whom each of them wrote books on their travels.

- Object The concerns I raised about the structure when this was last nominated are mostly addressed, but the article is still in dire need of copyediting by a person with stronger English skills. Phils 10:04, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Object. I concur that this needs copy editing. Since Genghis is an absolutely pivotal figure of world history that WP should have a really good article on, I'll do some work on it and see what I can do to improve it. Edeans 16:21, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I've since done a truly massive copyedit, but I'm sure there's still stuff in there that needs fixing. Could someone else please look at it? I'm a little burned out on the topic right now. Meelar (talk) 19:16, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
Object. The intro gives his birth as "1155/1162/1167" and then the Early life section gives only the 1162 date. Some explanation should be given for the different dates and why one may be prefered over the others.--Allen3 talk 19:44, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)- Comment- I'm curious as to why this article says the Mongol Empire was the largest ever, while the British Empire says that one is. Can someone clarify this in the article? --Dmcdevit 01:58, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous empire. Whereas the British Empire was the largest when you add all the territory areas together. CheekyMonkey 12:42, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I knew that. I guess it was more of a pointed question. I should say: I wonder if one of the Genghis Khan editors could confirm this and amend the article's inaccuracy accordingly. --Dmcdevit 01:44, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
