why was this moved to the disambiguated title? And why is the picture of the singer there? It seems totally out of place. Why not move it to culture of Mongolia or something? Tuf-Kat

Aah, I see why but still disagree. Outer Mongolia has a natural disambiguator. The term Mongolia always refers to the country. Why not use a disambig block? Tuf-Kat

No. Mongolia do not always refer to the north half. Not to let users misunderstand that independent Mongolia is the only Mongolia, this is the best solution, I think. -- Nanshu

In my experience, Mongolia refers to the country always. I've never heard anyone say Mongolia and mean Inner Mongolia or some other region. In any case, the Inner is a natural disambiguator, which is always preferable to parenthetical disambiguation. A disambig block will be just as effective in not misleading readers as a parenthetical disambiguator. Tuf-Kat
