Mongol Empire

I originally thought you will be very happy with my friendly actions. I was basically trying to fix sentences that do not conform to Wiki style or contain nationalist views. For example, I changed "Pan-Mongolism" to "Pax Mongolica" and changed sentences to wiki-style ones from reliable sources. I do not understand why you are trying to promote nationalist views. If you have any doubts, you can talk to me directly regarding which specific edit was not well-done, and I will carefully review it, as in certain cases I may not really realize it until being told. For example, I thought Temur etc belong to the house of Yuan and Borjigin, i.e. *both* should be fine (since the name "Yuan" continued to be used ). Later I realized for the name of *ruling house* Borjigin indeed should be better, since Yuan is the name of the regime instead of ruling house. I only try to make edits that tend to conform to Wikipedia guidelines, and definitely tried to avoid anything related to nationalism or policies. Wikipedia should be the place for good-faith and non-nationalist people. Note that I once became nationalist too, but then I decided to leave immediately once I realized that (to the goodness of Wikipedia) without even notifying anyone (including my friends) here, and promised myself to make significant edits again only when my edits will be more constructive. When I came back this time (although not yet completely recovered), I found it had somehow become a mess, and thus decided to help resolve problems and fix them silently (and avoid edit wars as possible). Since the purpose I came this time is mainly for fixing existing problems and let Wikipedia be more friendly, I will really return only when it will be even more constructive. I really hope that anyone who becomes nationalistic-minded should leave Wikipedia automatically and only return when their edits will be more constructive. Thanks for understanding. --216.254.206.54 (talk) 12:57, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
