Tang campaigns against the Western Turks
[edit]
5x expanded by Typing General (talk). Self nominated at 05:43, 13 July 2013 (UTC).
New enough. Long enough. 5x expansion. Well cited throughout and will assume good faith. The tone is a bit Sino-centric. But there's no princess mentioned in the article. Did you mean to nominate Emperor Taizong's campaign against Xiyu states? Hybernator (talk) 01:45, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- There is now, under Early Military Conflicts. And by sinocentric, if you're referring to the reliance on Chinese history sources, it's unfortunately because most accounts of the conflict in English are from books on Chinese history. It's unintentional, but unavoidable when the Western Turks left none of their own accounts of the war. Fun fact: The Chinese dynasties literally saw themselves as the center of the world, even though that's obviously nonsense.--Typing General (talk) 02:22, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Made a few edits, mostly wikifying names which I think would be unfamiliar to the average reader. Also could I suggest a tweak to the hook?
