Poorly-sourced content

[edit]

A large amount of unsourced and poorly-sourced content has been added to this page, with an obvious point of view to push. I have removed the following content from the page:

In recent times, this trend of migration to the West has grown amongst Pakistani Uyghurs, and not always for innocent and licit reasons. Between 2000-2010 a fairly large number of these Pakistani Uyhgurs have migrated to the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany and elsewhere

Which was cited to "Interview, Mr Abdullah Erkin, Rawalpindi, December 2010". Personal interviews constitute Wikipedia:Original research and are not acceptable sources for loaded statements. Also, I am not able to locate any book published in 2009 by an author "Naveed Qaiser" either in WorldCat nor the National Library of Pakistan catalogue. When adding content you need to provide a full-form citation in the "Sources" section giving the name of the book, so that other people can verify the content you have added. Similarly for this citation "Humayun Khan, News Report, daily "The Observer", Islamabad, 12th May 2010": The Observer has a very complete website [1], but I see no evidence of a Humayun Khan publishing an article on 12 May. Please provide a weblink or scan for such articles.

Finally, please do not modify existing sourced statements with gratuitous insertion of "allegedly" nor your own snide analyses like "and as such, their claims cannot be substantiated". Facts in the article should be drawn from reliable sources and given the weight of reliability that comes with those sources. cab (call) 03:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
