Unverified information

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)[reply]

The result of the debate was Move. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Karakorum (Mongolia) → Karakorum – Current page is due to a content fork that has now been eliminated. See Talk:Karakorum. Blisco 17:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Critique

The article doesn't do any justice to the important role Karakorum played in Silk Road. It desperately needs improvements and expansion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.66.241.70 (talk) 12:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HI. If you think the article needs to be expanded, just expand it. But don't just copy and paste material from other people's pages. This is called plagiarism and constitutes a copyright violation.

Regarding specifically Karakorum's role in the trade networks between Europe and China that are nowadays called "Silk Road", I really would like to see a better source than just one sentence in one website. Yaan (talk) 13:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Don't let this keep you from editing on Wikipedia. There is a lot of things that can (or need to) be done. Just keep in mind that copy and paste might pose a legal problem for this page, that it is always better to have a good source for things you write into articles, and that things you don't like might still be relevant for a certain topic.

1388

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)[reply]
