sectioning

Something is wrong with the section divisions. Two edit links show up at the end of the second section, Geography and Climate. I've tried fixing this but have been unsuccessful.

Temperature Extremes

The Hottest Temperature in Turfan Pendi Was recorded at Lüfkun, a incredible 94 degrees celsius in August 1929. The Coldest was in Januuary 1937 when it was recorded a all-time lows of -59 degrees celsius in Turfan-shan.

I think 'Fahrenheit' was intended here, not 'Celcius'!PeterMcC (talk) 02:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Origin of Name

Anyone out there know the origin of the name? Alexwoods (talk) 19:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Area

Does anyone know the extent of the area of the oasis, how many acres or square metres is it?

Title

The original title of this page was Turfan (which is the most common spelling in English texts). There wasn't any consensus for moving the page to Turpan (as Rjanag did). If Rjanag insists on moving the page, he should first use the proper procedure of "Move request" and obtain the consensus. Alefbe (talk) 21:09, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

(copying response from my talk page)

I did search Google books, news, and web; there are slightly more Turfans on books and web, slightly more Turpans on news. In any case, it's all relatively close, and the difference is not large enough to strongly suggest that one spelling or another is "right"; furthermore, google searching is an inexact science anyway, a google result can't be used as damning evidence one way or another unless the difference is huge. Ultimately, the trump card is that Turpan is the native name.

As for consensus... there was no consensus either way in the beginning, it just happened to be located at Turfan because that's the page that some random person created first. When I moved it, no one cared for a month. If you suddenly have an issue with it, the appropriate thing is to reach a new consensus now, before you start edit warring over it. But once again: neither spelling is vastly more common in English, and Turpan is the native name. rʨanaɢ /_contribs 21:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
