A1: The current title reflects the consensus established in three separate move discussions (30 June 2020, 1 April 2021, 22 January 2024), the first two that were created just over three-quarters of a year apart from each other, and the third in January 2024; please see Logs and discussions below for the full list of move discussions. In these discussions, editors discussed reporting from reliable sources in light of WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CRITERIA, the first two times establishing an affirmative consensus that the title "Uyghur genocide" is an appropriate name for the article. The third debate, immediately following a 12 January 2024 discussion that was closed as "not moved", cited WP:NCENPOV as the naming convention guideline justifying a shift to the new name.

@Xiliman:@Czello: I looked into this, and it appears the article isn't citing any reliable sources at the moment showing that this image is depicting a internment camp in Xinjiang. So, this editor does have the right to challenge it. Perhaps there is an alternate image which comes from a reliable source? Sagflaps (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
The original article should be news from Luopu County, Xinjiang, which mainly talks about how extremist religion leads them to commit crimes. This picture comes from a prison and is a normal state judicial act. There is no evidence to prove persecution. Inkuaxjieng (talk) 20:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Is that a blog post or a news article? I am not sure 石亭资讯 is considered a reliable source. Butterdiplomat (talk) 23:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
This is a news gathering platform. Inkuaxjieng (talk) 13:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Looks like it’s a new aggregator without a clear original source then. Butterdiplomat (talk) 23:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is no clear source for that image either. Although some Western media forwarded it, they did not indicate the source when forwarding it. Inkuaxjieng (talk) 01:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Still can't complete. Because Radio Free Asia is a political media, controlled by the US government.
Template:U.S. Agency for Global Media - Wikipedia
U.S. Agency for Global Media has a channel for all its competitors, such as Radio Free Europe for Russia. Such targeted news media cannot guarantee its neutrality and objectivity.
In addition, this is just a text description and cannot be proven true or false. Since you think the proof link I gave is not credible, please give me a more credible link, preferably this origin article, instead of giving me a paraphrase of the RFA. Inkuaxjieng (talk) 06:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm well aware of the political bias of RFA, but in this context it doesn't impact its reliability - and the article itself shows detailed fact-checking, unlike any of the PRC sources. Pincrete (talk) 08:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
What you said is obviously discriminatory. Inkuaxjieng (talk) 19:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The CIA-funded conspiracy theory that China is committing "genocide" against Chinese Turkic Muslims has had a demonstrable impact on the increase in anti-Chinese attitudes globally. Why isn't this mentioned in the article? 2A00:23C4:3E44:2C01:14A8:9E0:45A3:2D98 (talk) 14:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Adrian Zenz, a senior fellow at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, is referenced 6 times in the Mass detention section and 6 times in the IUDs and birth control section. An over-reliance on research produced by him, despite that he is a heavily interested character in this issue, serves against the credibility and quality of this article. As a leading scholar his findings should be mentioned, of course, but not without qualification or alternative sources and data. NipponGinko (talk) 06:46, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
It’s likely more once you dig into sources as well; there’s a significant degree of circular reporting involving Zenz. I agree with your idea generally but it’s better to approach in a concrete way. What’s the specific edit or edits you want to make to address the issue? JArthur1984 (talk) 14:02, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Per WP:RADIOFREEASIA, RFA is considered reliable: Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use. — Czello(music) 14:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
level-5 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
