First edit
Re: Well done. Do try to make some other edits to learn the ins and outs of Wikipedia, you'll find it useful in the coming weeks. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:48, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen your edit as I indicated above and it's fine. Expanding Pax Mongolica for your future project is a good idea, we can chat more about during our next wiki class. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:04, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Pax Mongolica early plan
Sounds like a good plan; make sure to add the article to your group at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/User:Piotrus/Fall_2009 --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 04:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I just noted some formal things about your editing. Please don't add empty headers to articles before actually adding the relevant text. The article should look like an article at any time, and not like a construction site. If you want to experiment, then you can create a test page in your user space and transfer the completed content later.
 * When adding references to your contributions, you might want to use the tag and the Citation templates. This will make sure that the references appear in the right section and contain all necessary information, so that the readers can follow and verify them most easily. --Latebird (talk) 08:25, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the advice. Gxlarson (talk) 18:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Good job
Editing the PM article! Keep it up! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:37, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent job. Perhaps you can give some advice to your groupmates? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 18:02, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Good use of cn templates here, you are actually saving me some work (I'll soon be adding various templates to your drafts). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 03:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Re:Adding Picture
Neither of them is free; the second one doesn't seem to even list sources. You could consider using them under fair use - see Non-free content and WikiProject Images and Media/Non-free. Fair use images are however less than optimal, as they often tend to be removed. The best solution, assuming you cannot find a good map in Wikimedia Commons, would be to create such a map yourself (or as a group), basing them on existing maps. If you need help with that, check WikiProject Maps. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Origins of Term "Pax Mongolica"
Unfortunately, this kind of a search is a WP:OR and as such, should not be used (but check with the GA reviewer; it is an grayish borderland). Perhaps one of the works that uses the term discusses its origins - that would be appropriate to cite. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 00:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
