How to sort out misinformation, untruths and propaganda in the article?

Could we please have a proper discussion on sorting out the misinformation, untruths and propaganda in the article? 2A00:23C4:95:EA01:6067:6E2B:11FD:E666 (talk) 22:50, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is Wikipedia, so you may either:

Read the site's policies on reliable sources and neutral-point of view, since that is probably where your grievances are, and make a policy-based argument with references to specific content in the article you are challenging. Or,
Take your vague gestures at "misinformation, untruths and propaganda" elsewhere, such as an online forum, which Wikipedia is not.

-: Because it's an incredibly important part of their culture, and absolutely essential to their historic identity. It's also one of the primary shared links to the groups that formed the ethnogenesis of the historical Uyghur people, and remained central to Uyghur identity throughout most of their history.

-I'd like to replace the picture of the Uyghur man with a sheepskin hat with the following picture. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Muqam.jpg
-The reason the photo needs to be replaced is it misleads anyone who wants to know about Uyghurs. Uyghurs are diverse people and members of today's modern society.

-::The point is not the painting or the image of the painting. The point is the current photo on the Uyghur page doesn’t reflect Uyghur people as a whole.

-:Replacing a photo with a painting would be against [[MOS:IMAGEQUALITY]]. I feel like this shouldn't be said, but representing a ''real'' group of people with a ''painting'' is less, not more inappropriate. I also don't think you own the copyright to that painting as you claim, especially since you ripped it from a Medium blog and the painter, Ghazi Ehmet, is deceased. <big>[[User:Yue|<span style="color:#757575; font-family:Consolas, monospace">''Yue''</span>]][[User talk:Yue|🌙]]</big> 01:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
-::I did not claim the copyright to the paining. I merely uploaded the photo of the painting to Wikimedia which is widely available on the internet from a page where the photo had better resolution. The blogger doesn’t claim any right to the photo. I do know the painter is deceased. The point is not the image of the painting. The point is the current photo on the Uyghur page '''doesn’t reflect Uyghur people as a whole'''. The current one being there for far too long doesn’t mean it’s the appropriate one.
