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.

Is it now? The article literally says they destroyed Buddhist monuments because they believed they were built by Dzungers. So much for central part of their culture lmfao 2A02:C7C:507D:0:745F:9390:1452:BFDB (talk) 14:52, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Closing discussion per WP:NOTFORUM. Your off-handed tone, and the fact that you are responding on different IPs, indicates to me that you are just here to provoke others and start trouble. Yue🌙 21:34, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources needed

The last paragraph of the main section states "Various scholars, human rights organizations and governments consider abuses perpetrated against the Uyghurs". I feel sources are needed here, not only to add to its reliability but also to prompt further reading. 87.95.5.71 (talk) 11:20, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 21 June 2023

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. They cannot not be represented by an outdated photo of a man with a dusty sheepskin hat.

 Not done for now: The current image has been in this article for far too long, so consensus is required to replace it. Also, the target media file does not have sufficient information on its copyright status. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 13:11, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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. The current one being there for far too long doesn’t mean it’s the appropriate one. Women having no voting rights for centuries doesn’t mean it was a right thing. 167.98.170.146 (talk) 14:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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. Women having no voting rights for centuries doesn’t mean it was a right thing. YulghunA (talk) 22:36, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright is paramount for us here. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:58, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but my point is for yhe picture to be either removed or changed to something else that’s more appropriate. YulghunA (talk) 08:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
