== "promotional content and inappropriate external links" tag ==
Hello Voidvector! You tagged the "University Alliance of the Silk Road" page for "promotional content and inappropriate external links," but I at a loss to identify either of these.  The article has no external links, and is mostly comprised of quotes from articles.  Could you either point out objectionable content on the talk page, or remove the tag? Many thanks!

: It's verbiage sounds like advertisement / promotional material. Words like "aim", "foster", "promote", "designed", "leading" are used in a way that makes the article sound biased in favor of the topic. Most of those sentences could be easily rewritten to sound less so. For example, "The UASR aims to support training..." can be written as "Part of UASR's objective is to provide training...". The writing should put some distance between the voice of article and function of UASR.  --[[User:Voidvector|Voidvector]] ([[User talk:Voidvector#top|talk]]) 04:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

==Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Fbos char creation.jpeg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Fbos char creation.jpeg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F7|section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-disputed fair use rationale-notice -->

There is at least [http://www.cuona.gov.cn/zjcn/dsj/2017/201905/t20190508_28751.html one Chinese article] that seems to indicate the border outpost handles "floating population" (I am interpreting that as locals passing thru). --[[User:Voidvector|Voidvector]] ([[User talk:Voidvector#top|talk]]) 15:55, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

::: Thanks, VV. The "floating population" probably refers to the tourists/visitors. At 3900 metres, it is as high as the [[Zoji La]], with taller peaks surrounding it and a gushing mountain torrent (Namkha Chu) below. Add to that, this is the site where Premier Zhou taught the Indians a "lesson". So, it must be quite a popular tourist destination. I am guessing that [https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id&node=7231487998#map=17/27.79952/91.74185 this place] at the bottom of the valley is a resort, with restaurants, shops and perhaps a few hotels/guest houses. Incidentally, the town of Le/Lai was apparently no more than a village in 1962. It is now the "Lai Xian". So, the military expenditure and the tourist traffic must have caused a boom in the local economy. -- [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 14:05, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Well, looking at the [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Bum+La/@27.6389295,91.8063854,12209a,35y,333.92h,37.57t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x375cf75fed4aa587:0x925d13c91af42375!8m2!3d27.7236516!4d91.8916065!5m1!1e4 Indian side of the border today], I was pleasantly surprised. There are roads practically everywhere, in the valleys and the mountains, villages every few miles, with neatly built houses and roads.

The road on the left leads to the [[Namka Chu]] valley, where the 1962 war was fought. The road ahead, beyond the Taktsang Gompa, leads to the [[Sumdorong Chu]] valley, where there was a standoff in the 1980s. The road coming towards us takes you to [[Tawang]] and the [[Bum La Pass]]. Google says the pass is "temporarily closed", probably due to the ongoing standoff. -- [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 00:08, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

:That's awesome. It is nice to see countries invest in their infrastructure. Although in this case probably prioritized due to geopolitics rather than civilian needs, but either way a road is a road. --[[User:Voidvector|Voidvector]] ([[User talk:Voidvector#top|talk]]) 07:04, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Voidvector, there was an India-China meeting yesterday at a place called Moldo, which was said to be "opposite [[Chushul]]". Could it be this: 门冬 ("Men Dong" according to Google translate)?

== Mintaka Pass article ==

Hi there - on one of the other sides of Wikipedia language divide ;-) - I've been working on the Polish-language article on the Mintaka Pass and trying to trace down the meaning of its name. You seem to have referred to a Kyrgyz ethymology, but your source is rather elusive to the best of my research, ie I can't find the book in any libraries near me (I live in southern Germany). Would it be much of trouble to let me have a look at, for example, a scan of the page the Kyrgyz ethymology is given? I would hate to make you go out of your way about it but I'd hugely appreciate your assistance if you could. Best regards. --[[User:DaLoetz|DaLoetz]] ([[User talk:DaLoetz|talk]]) 11:03, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]

== Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research ==

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]].
