There is a section that reads very strangely, because a sentence was deleted? The paragraph preceding Life as matriarch and advisor contains a sentence that begins

"Accepting this condition, Yesügei requested ..."

What condition? I found your 16:48, 5 October edit deleted a sentence that was somewhat explanatory. Can you fix the text to read better? Shenme (talk) 01:05, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Excuse me for not finding my comment. It was not meant as a reply to where it sits now, nor do I think anybody will notice it, but so be it, nothing important. - I do hope that we will not end up moving opera to a different title. I hate Western concert flute for the instrument understood when Classical music people mention flute (no idea how many links go wrong), and also contemporary classical music, recently moved from contemporary music without a redirect, and I do know that hundreds of links o wrong but found no time to fix more than the first fifty. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:22, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
