 Hello, I'm Donner60. An edit you recently made to Tomb of Genghis Khan seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 21:50, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Yes, I realize you are correct. One other way to handle this is to put at the end of the sentence. Donner60 (talk) 21:56, 30 July 2016 (UTC)


 * One more possibility is that it is a typo. However, none of the links to references or external links in the article that are searchable have the disputed statement. So it would seem that someone would have to have access to other references to check whether this is a typo, a mistake in the original source or even some greater error about the book. In the absence of something more concrete, I suggest you put a note on the talk page pointing out the error and put the disputed template after the sentence in question. Sorry for the technicalities but that is part of the process. Donner60 (talk) 22:09, 30 July 2016 (UTC)


 * This is the reply to your comment that I put on my talk page. I am repeating here to be sure you see it and because it has a few extra remarks. "I put comments on your talk page. Extended messages in the context of articles are not appropriate under Wikipedia guidelines, even though it appears you are correct. I suggested you put the template after the sentence in question and put a brief explanation on the talk page. I left some Wikipedia page links as information. I checked all the references that could be checked but did not find a reference to the sentence. A number of possible explanations not limited to a typo, a mixed up in the reference of some sort (different book, author not a Jesuit, etc.) and others may exist. In the absence of something more definitive, I think my suggestions are in line with Wikipedia guidelines. Changing the century reference may even be acceptable, although that may be too close to the edge and I would not do that if I could not find a source. My further thought is that someone converted a year in the 1500s to 15th century. The problem here is that even if you are correct, guidelines do not permit commentaries in the text of articles. If they did, all kinds of unsourced comments or challenges or disputes that are not credible, as yours is, could occur." Donner60 (talk) 23:19, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
