Xinjinag ref's
the sources added on the Xinjiang article/East Turkestan section seem valid. can you add them to First East Turkestan Republic as well? thanks Seb az86556 (talk) 23:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello. I've already mentioned my thought about having two different articles with nearly identical content, in my talk to another user:
 * The 1st section (history) of the article Xinjiang is redundant since there is also another article History of Xinjiang. Most of the sentences are identical in both pages. I think the first section should be moved to the history article, including new additions, refs. etc. Xinjiang article better be just related to current Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, as Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region is redirected to Xinjiang. Maybe a new name "Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region" fits better to page, afterwards. Otherwise, Xinjiang article becomes lengthy, and subjected to vandalism by people who do not want to see names of earlier states of a region belongs to their country (PRC).

 * Agree. Who the hell came up with that in the first place? Seb az86556 (talk) 03:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The issue, I believe, is naming consistency across other Wikipedia articles. Currently, all WP articles on Chinese provinces and ARs go by the common name (Guangdong, Hubei, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, etc. etc.). If we were to have an article titled Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region while other ARs are, for example, just Ningxia and Guangxi (rather than the full names), there would be some inconsistency.
 * But... the good news is we already have some precedent for breaking the consistency. There are already separate articles at Tibet Autonomous Region (the AR) and Tibet (the "historical/cultural" region). The issues there are similar to the ones here. So moving the current Xinjiang article to XUAR sounds fine with me, as long as someone is willing to do the leg work of moving the appropriate content to the appropriate articles (most of the current "History" section would probably have to be replaced with a or  template). r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 04:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree completely. Crux is whether to name to the cultural region "Xinjiang"... or "East Turkestan" (small article already exists...). I see an edit-war looming...Seb az86556 (talk) 04:06, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * (out) I've left a proposal at User talk:Rjanag for a possible way to deal with some of the naming disputes among these articles. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 04:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Bird taxonomy
The sources you cite are well over 50 years old - in fact two of them are from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica - the world of bird science has moved on a great deal since then. Sabine's Sunbird  talk  02:50, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
