Article Duplication

It looks like these two articles: Chagatai Khanate and Chaghataite khanate are about the same person. I added the merger tags at the top and will add them to the Wikipedia:Duplicate articles. Even though the other article has more content the this one is included in the {{History_of_Mongolia}} and looks like the naming issue is addressed at the top so I indiacte that the articles should be merged here.

Citations please

This is not satisfactory, IMO, yet. Alerts for readers. Most of the sections go unsubstantiated.--Jhelyam (talk) 21:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

While it would possibly be nice to have "everything" sourced, this is only strictly necessary for statements that are actually disputed (or likely to be disputed). Plastering the article with tags only makes it look bad. It would be much more helpful if you could substantiate your criticism, and point out any actual flaws in the current text. --Latebird (talk) 22:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Criticism is for poorly sourced material. For example, statements and paragraphs without sufficient substantiation. When an article or parfts of an article are in poor shape, they should look bad (Alerts). This is not an encyclopedia for original research of any kind; in fact, that is against the policy as I understand. When I read unsourced statements that me me tingle with curiosity and skepticism, alerts should be used. This isn't a blog, but an encyclopedia, an encyclopedia where original research should not be used.--Jhelyam (talk) 23:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I was actually in the middle of rewriting this article when you put up the alerts. You are right, several parts of this article were either questionable or outright false. I made sure to thoroughly cite my edits. Hope this solves the problem. Ro4444 (talk) 07:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; it did help. This is how an article of length should look. Thanks for rewriting it.--Jhelyam (talk) 19:11, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Religion

Chagatai Khans usually worship Tengeri or Allah. But Changshi had his son baptized and he was probably Christian or Buddhist. And Eljigidey was also interested in buddhism. --Enerelt (talk) 03:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Chaghatai or Chagatai or Jagatai was a son of Jenghiz or Genhiz or Jinghiz Khan. To call his ulus or empire the Chaghatai or the Chagatai Khanate is like calling Jenghiz Khan's conquests the "Jenghiz Empire". "Ogodite" is commonly used as adjective for Ogodei, another son of Jenghiz. "Jinghizids" or "Jenghizids" is also used for the descendants of Jenghiz, or for those who claimed descent from him. The adjective for Chaghatai can properly be "Chaghataite" or "Jaghataite". Hence, Chaghataite's empire can and perhaps should be called the "Chaghataite Khanate".

NOPE, not in English, it isn't. HammerFilmFan (talk) 23:14, 29 August 2011 (UTC) HammerFilmFan

The Mongols used Chinese to rule Bukhara (in Central Asia) for the same reason they used Central Asian Semus in ruling China

While the Mongols moved Central Asians to become Semu in China and serve as administrators, they did the same thing in reverse in Central Asia, sending Chinese over to administer Bukhara.
