The main header photo for the Mongolian people's Wiki page claims to show the Queen consort Genepil in 1923. This however is likely not her, and there seems to be no known photograph of Genepil around. The photograph first appeared in a National Geographic magazine article published in 1921. The photo is titled "A Mongolian woman sits for her portrait before a Chinese photographer" by Luther Anderson. Here is a source describing it. [1]
I'm happy to keep the photo as I think it's a very nice picture, but we should retitle it on the main page perhaps using the original title or some variant rather than misattributing her identity. However, as the article is semi-protected, I can't edit it, so I hope another Wikipedian comes along to rectify the issue! Regards, Andrew S. CosmologicalDefect ( talk) 08:42, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@ Juihui and Super Dromaeosaurus: please discuss here instead of in edit summaries. That way, you can both provide sources for your arguments. Thank you. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 23:58, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
The main image used for this article has been doctored, with another person's face photoshopped on top. It is not the same as the cited source.
I've taken the liberty of uploading the actual, real, unaltered photo (I've supplied a link to the digital version & page number of the source for ease): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_Mongolian_lady_sits_for_her_portrait_before_a_Chinese_photographer.png
Could someone please replace the image in this article with the correct one? It's really bothering me that this has been accepted. Thanks. Exousies ( talk) 04:05, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
While Mongolian was the governing elite's language, the Chinese language was nevertheless used for official reasons during the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongols also used the Uighur script for administrative and official documents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilipGiwa1416 ( talk • contribs) 07:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
