Incidentally, this is not nonsense (unless Channel 4 have taken to making stuff up in their documentaries), so please don't speedy it. - makomk 12:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

This is messed up. Someone played a joke on that poor journalist. number29^(Talk) 13:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes I just put this up because of the above-mentioned documentary. Henners91 20:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

A zealous user has put this article up for being deleted, so I'm doing a "hangon" on the page. I'm sure it'll come along smoothly if people who know more merely contribute. Henners91 20:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Here is a parliamentary discussion where the term appears. I guess it does not help much if you don't understand Mongolian, but you can at least verify that the word нинжа appears in conjunction with place names like Zaamar and Uyanga, which are well-known for this kind of activity, or with the name of the Altan Dornod (russ. Zlaty Wostok) mining company. Yaan (talk) 12:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

And some more info for expanding the article can probably be found here. Yaan (talk) 12:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
