Source Removal
edit@Telsho: Why do you think it's a good idea to remove this source from this page? Thanks! Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- You had used Radio Free Asia as a source, a state funded opinion piece/broadcaster which are closely connected to the topics of highly sensitive regions. As per WP:RS, I would recommend using another source that is much more reliable. A list of such sources can be found here. Telsho (talk) 11:42, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Telsho: Telsho, I am trying to demonstrate the existence of the usage of a certain English language name for this location. That's what that source does. Xinhua News Agency, state-run press agency of the People's Republic of China, can be used to demonstrate names for areas in the PRC on Wikipedia. It's clear that the name Uchturpan is in use in English and that fact should be further documented on Wikipedia via this source in my opinion.

- @Telsho: The Economist and The New York Times have credited RFA's reporting for bringing news of the Chinese government's persecution of the Uyghurs to light.[1][2] Geographyinitiative (talk) 13:17, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
