This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
My guess is that the current transliteration is from classical Mongolian script for "Blue" (=Köke) plus "Iron" (=Temür). I am actually not that good at reading classical Mongolian script yet, but judging from the transliteration table given in that article, final "e" and final "ö" are distinct enough to rule out any confusion originating from that transliteration. My guess is that either transliterating the word from the classical script's "blue" is for some reason deemed questionable, or, IMO more likely, the "Koko" is just a left-over from the time when the Mongolian designation of Lake Qinghai was transscribed into Koko-nur instead of Köke naγur -i.e. from some antiquated transscription. But you should really look for "Köke Temür", not for "Koke Temur". Yaan (talk) 12:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
These sources say Koke Temur (Wang Baobao) had a Chinese father and a Turkic mother (probably a Buddhist Uighur). ( In the article is says his mother was the daughter of a Mongolian prince (does "Mongolian prince", mean "ethnic Mongol", or does it just mean that it could be a Turkic prince who had a title granted to him by the Mongols?) The Ming Hongwu Emperor married Koko Temur's sister to his own brother Zhu Shuang after capturing her.
