This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations: Omer Benjakob (April 26, 2018). "Revealed: The Four Articles That Got Misplaced Pages Banned in Turkey". Haaretz. Retrieved May 3, 2018. These demands pertained to two specific Misplaced Pages articles: "State-sponsored terrorism" and "Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War."Both articles have subsections that address Turkey, and both contain claims that Turkey has supported ISIS. Stephen Harrison (May 21, 2019). "Why China Blocked Misplaced Pages in All Languages". Slate (magazine). Retrieved May 23, 2019. As Omer Benjakob reported for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Turkish officials reached out to Wikimedia several times in 2017 to request that content be changed in two Misplaced Pages articles: "State-sponsored terrorism" and "Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War." Mark Lowen (May 23, 2019). "Misplaced Pages petitions ECHR over Turkey ban". BBC. Retrieved May 25, 2019. Ankara complained about the content of two articles: on the Syrian war and on state-sponsored terrorism, demanding they be removed. In meetings with the Turkish authorities, Misplaced Pages bosses explained that articles could be edited - and that removing them contravened values of democratising knowledge. Laura Pitel (May 23, 2019). "Misplaced Pages takes Turkey to European human rights court". Financial Times. Retrieved May 25, 2019. According to the Wikimedia executives, the ban followed a demand from the Turkish authorities to remove two articles: one about the Syrian civil war and another about state-sponsored terrorism. Stephen Harrison (January 29, 2020). "Misplaced Pages Has Been Unblocked in Turkey, Finally". Slate (magazine). Retrieved January 30, 2020. As Omer Benjakob reported for Haaretz, Turkish officials had previously contacted the Wikimedia Foundation in the United States to request that content on articles such as "State-sponsored terrorism" and "Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War" be removed.

Citation issue in "India" section

Section claims Sri Lanka has accused India of sponsoring terrorism but the linked citation shows exactly the opposite; an errant minister redacting his statement

China supporting United Liberation Front of Assam

China is supporting United Liberation Front of Assam to choke the chicken neck region of India(Siliguri Corridor) to discount NE India from main body of India.

The outlawed group has been using China for shelter following mounting pressure from both Burma and Bangladesh, in turn pressured by India. The outfit’s top commander, Paresh Baruah, is living near the Sino-Burmese border looking for an alternative position for a hideout. There are 50 ULFA militants holed up in China’s Yunnan Province led by the group's Lt. Partha Jyoti Gogoi.

Turkistan Islamic Party, Turkey, ISIS and Uyghur

The article contains a section about alleged ties of Turkey helping funnel Uyghurs of Turkistan Islamic Party to Syria to fight Bashar al-Assad's forces. In opposition to it, it includes a statement that says "Conversely, other reports emphasized on the Uyghur fighters' ties with ISIL". This statement should be removed.

I don't understand why ties of ISIL with Uyghur fighters are included. Do the reports claim all Uyghurs are tied to ISIS or ISIS and not Turkey is helping funnel them?

Uyghurs are an ethnic group so they can be join any rebel group. ISIS is not the only group in Syria and Turkistan Islamic Party, which is a differernt group, is not allied with the Islamic State group.

So some Uyghurs being members of one group or other shouldn't be used to counter claims that Turkey is helping transport then across border. I don't see anywhere the original sources even meant such an idea. Please remove the statement. 117.199.89.7 (talk) 23:59, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
