Actually, I have the same concern about CentralAsiaEnthuist's behavior of misconducts in terms of changing contents of the article about Mr. Anwar Yusuf Turani on multiple occasions and just calling his actions as "Minor edit". It took me a while to correct his misleading information on this individuals, based on the reliable information cited accordingly. I strongly advice everyone to watch this editor closely, so that he will not keep violating rules set by Wikipedia. TheGuiderman (talk) 22:16, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi The Guiderman, it appears you are the one who is publishing misleading information regarding Mr. Turani. If you look at the official website of the East Turkistan Government in Exile (east-turkistan.net) and the various news reports, along with the wikipedia page on the East Turkistan Government in Exile, you will find that Mr. Turani is not its current President. MR. Turani was the first Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile and has never served as its President. The current President is Ghulam Yaghma, I suggest you do some search using proper sources before putting misinformation on Wikipedia. Thank you. - CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 15:39, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MarkH21, the "minor edit" was assigned automatically, it is not something that I wrote in there. I always write an explanation of the changes that were made along with adding sources, if applicable, to those changes. Thank you for understanding, feel free to let me know if there is anything that I missed or need to fix. Thanks. - CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I see that

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);

• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 21:01, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have any other conflict of interest with the organization (i.e. any other nature of contact besides the copyright amendment)? There are other types of conflicts of interest that are not paid (see

@MarkH21: Hi MarkH21, as far as my "relationship," I have contact with many Uyghur groups and organizations through email, not just the ETGE. I believe I developed a more deeper understanding of the East Turkistan issue through communication with exile groups such as the WUC, ETGE, groups in Turkey, Central Asia, and by reading available information online ranging from Uyghur / East Turkistan websites, to academic research and books written by outsiders / experts. I sympathize with Uyghurs and East Turkistan, would sympathy with the plight of East Turkistan be a COI? CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 21:44, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Having sympathies is not a COI (many of us here have such sympathies!), although having actual involvement in the groups would constitute a COI (this is essentially

WP:NOTHERE. Please take care to read those policies and guidelines. There are also suggestions for advocate editing here.

There are many editors who have a COI and editors who advocate for a cause with great contributions to Wikipedia; I don't mean to sugges that COIs or advocacy positions are not allowed here! But editors have to make sure that they are editing to build a neutral encyclopedia based on independent reliable sources, and that they do not prioritize promotion, personal stances, or other agendas. — MarkH₂₁^talk 22:26, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

By the way, please stop marking all of your edits as "minor". See my message above from January 2021. "Minor edit" has a very specific meaning on Wikipedia, detailed

here. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if the edit concerns a single word. This includes adding or removing any references. — MarkH₂₁^talk 22:32, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

@MarkH21: Hi MarkH21, understood. I have read through the various links on here that you recommended. I will most certainly make sure to be extremely careful and cite every changes / edits that I will make. Thank you for clarifying this.CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 00:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 00:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

. As stated repeatedly before, globalsecurity.org is considered deprecated and should not be cited.

As for the name of the group on the article in question, a single source referring to it as a certain name doesn't make it definitive when other sources refer to it differently. ADifferentMan (talk) 08:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, User:ADifferentMan, I cited two reliable and credible sources: the US Congressional Research Service from 2003 and a chapter written by Dr. Dru Gladney, a well-known Uyghur expert who has testified before numerous governments. Whereas the existing sources you continue to cite as the sole "reliable source" all stem directly from allegations made by the Chinese government. CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 16:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is from the J. Todd Reed source:

"At least four 1990 accounts of a rebellion in Baren Town-

ship, southwest of Kashgar, referred to the Islamic Party of East Turkistan. 4

A 1990 BBC translation of a Xinjiang newspaper article also mentioned the

East Turkistan Islamic Party. 5 In 1994, a Western news report referred to

“a militant group known as the East Turkistan Movement.”6 In 2000, a Russian

newspaper published at least three articles referring to the East Turkistan

Islamic Movement. 7 Boaz Ganor of Israel’s International Institute for

Counter-Terrorism also mentioned the ETIM in 2000." (p. 47)

Frankly, both names might be worth mentioning with a relevant footnote. Do you have any objection to this?

Edit: Also, please stop re-adding globalsecurity.org for the reasons I've repeatedly emphasized.

ADifferentMan (talk) 17:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:ADifferentMan All of J. Todd Reed's "four different" sources get their information from the same place: China's government. The Chinese government announced that the uprising was carried out by the "Islamic Party of East Turkistan," despite Uyghur sources claiming it was the "Sherki Turkistan Azatliq Herkiti" or "Free Turkistan Movement," as cited by the US Congressional Research Service, which used Professor Dru Gladney's research. I believe it is best to clarify:

While the US Congressional Research Service and Uyghur experts claim that the 1990 Baren Uprising or conflict was carried out by the "Free Turkistan Movement," other sources relying on Chinese government sources claim that it was carried out by the Islamic Party of East Turkistan / East Turkistan Islamic Party. CentralAsiaEnthuist (talk) 18:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion would probably best be continued on the article's

respective talk page, which I've opened an RFC on. ADifferentMan (talk) 05:39, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply
