The marmots should not be eaten certain times of the year because they can carry Bubonic Plague.

I've got a big foamy beer for the first person who can work this line plausibly into any other article on Wikitravel. --Evan 02:18, 11 Feb 2004 (EST)

I wonder, did he put that in because Marmot Day was less than two weeks ago? -phma 07:07, 11 Feb 2004 (EST)

Here's a question. The Lonely Planet guide for Mongolia led me to the ruins of a city near Kharhorin via GPS coordinates (it's about a half day walk to the nearest town/road). When I slept in the ruins, I took my own GPS fix. I'm wondering if there will be any copyright problems if I publish my own coordinates (differ by about 300ft) and description of what I saw.

Also, as a bit of an aside, Mongolia is a country where it is super-beneficial to have GPS coordinates for sites and towns, since there's probably just the rotted remains of half a road sign in the entire country.

Knowledge itself is not copyrightable; expression of knowledge is. It should be fine to put in the GPS coordinates you took yourself. Of course, your description shouldn't be encumbered by copyright. --Evan 22:41, 22 Feb 2004 (EST)

I followed the link to mongolie.mn and it's in French and the title means "French-Mongolian Travel Agency". Should this link be removed for being another guide? -phma 11:27, 25 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Does anybody know how fare I get with English in Mongolia? I am planning to leave the normal tourist places. Will anybody understand me? 193.216.109.229 07:42, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
