Infobox
[edit]- List his birth year of c. 1162 in the infobox
- Done
Lead
[edit]- Is there a translation of Boroqul's name in the traditional Mongolian script? Russian Wikipedia says ᠪᠥᠷᠥᠬᠦᠯ while Chinese and Korean Wikipedia say ᠪᠦᠷᠭᠦᠳ Does any source verify?
- Not that I can find, sadly.
- Remove the comma after "inner council"
- Done
Life and career
[edit]- Remove the comma after "Börte"
- "The Secret History of the Mongols" → "[[The Secret History of the Mongols]]"
- Mention what The Secret History of the Mongols is
- Remove the comma after "Jurkin tribe"
- Who was Jebe?
- Italicize Jami' al-tawarikh
- 1217-18 → 1217–18 (endash)
- All done.
References
[edit]- All sources look good
Overall
[edit]- Single image is good. I assume no free images (if at all) of Boroqul exist
- That is sadly correct.
- Move the image to the right side so that Ögedei "faces the text" if you get what I mean
- Done.
- Stable
- No war edits
