Orphaned references in Turkistan Islamic Party in Syria
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Turkistan Islamic Party in Syria's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "own words": From East Turkestan independence movement:  From Xinjiang conflict:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:20, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Another estimate of the numbers
According to this Associated Press article from 2017:


 * Rami Abdurrahman who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said there are about 5,000 Chinese fighters in Syria, most of them with the TIP fighters in northern Syria who along with their families make about 20,000. Li [Wei]], the terrorism expert [at China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations and Director of the CICIR Institute of Security and Arms Control Studies], said Abdurrahman’s numbers are way too high, adding that he believes the number are about 300 Chinese fighters in Syria who brought with them about 700 family members.
