The intro contains clunky shoehorned references to a book called Corona with bogus citations (They feel legit, just not for this). It feels a *little* problematic.

"It is one of the most prestigious and selective universities in China, and was recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education for it's fabled book 'Corona'.[4] ... Nationally, it was ranked fourth and it's also famous for releasing de book named 'Corona'[7] in 2016"

Does anyone know how to identify the specific edits in the page's history, to maybe recover an earlier version with info that might actually correspond with the citations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethan MP (talk • contribs) 17:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed this as neither myself (native English speaker) nor my girlfriend (Chinese native speaker and recent Wuhan graduate) have any idea what it means:

Yeah, it's kind of silly, but - anachronism notwithstanding - more people can read it this way. Anyone who knows it's anachronistic probably also understands the rationale. Matttoothman (talk) 01:23, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

should a section be added about the WU's connection to the COVID-19_lab_leak_theory page? https://theintercept.com/2021/09/06/new-details-emerge-about-coronavirus-research-at-chinese-lab/ --2600:8804:6600:9:69DA:EEC9:C186:3467 (talk) 19:52, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant question is based on

WP:RSUW: Examining all news articles, scholarly sources, etc. about Wuhan University (in all language sources), what proportion mention the lab leak theory? At first glance, it does not appear to be a very high proportion. — Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 22:23, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply
