Talk:Demchok (historical village)

Lead rewritten
I rewrote the lead to remove the POV and OR present in it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:31, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "Demchok was a historical village". There is no source that says such a thing. Demchok still exists. And it is still as divided as it was.
 * It wasn't mentioned in the 1684 treaty. We have no idea whether "Demchok" mentioned there was a village, whether it was divided or undivided. Rather it was the Lhari stream which was of importance in the treaty.
 * Nor did anybody say that it was the first time it was mentioned.
 * Okay with the first and last point, which were just to make it clear what the scope of the article is and what the first known mention is (as a summary of the contents of the article rather than a directly cited assertion). On the second point, Demchok was certainly mentioned in the Ladakh Chronicles on the Treaty of Tingmosgang; for instance, Lamb wrote — MarkH21talk 04:59, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
