No conclusive evidence?

The lead simply asserts that there is no conclusive evidence as to the origin of the virus. Even if this insufficiently sourced assertion was true, it still has no place in the article. This article is about the city of Wuhan. Mentioning the fact that COVID-19 was first found there is relevant to the article. Asserting that we don't know the origin of the virus is a claim for the COVID-19 page, not this one. I understand that this is a powder keg, but that doesn't mean we throw out all standards, and allow politics to influence content. The reference needs to be removed. 2601:18F:4101:4830:BDFC:6E0D:9CAD:6572 (talk) 05:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to the government investigation, the answer is no longer obscure.

small change request

Next to the photo of the gunboat Zhongshan there is a reference to Nanking. This is Wade-Giles, people always say it wrong, the name of the city has always been pronunced Nan Jing, could someone please change to the pinyin romanization, which is easier for non-Chinese speakers to get right ? Gracias (and no idea why a covid footnote is getting postfixed to me request, oh well.) 73.83.43.194 (talk) 08:15, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wait until someone replies and you can go give out details. 2601:205:C001:EA0:8C8C:2AE3:19B5:861D (talk) 02:04, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arnhem isn’t a sister city anymore

It’s in Dutch, but Arnhem isn’t a sister city anymore because of what happens in Xinjiang. Source: https://nos.nl/artikel/2390294-arnhem-verbreekt-stedenband-met-wuhan-vanwege-behandeling-oeigoeren-in-china 2001:1C04:4E01:6700:6071:7B40:B2E:CC6 (talk) 14:02, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remove unfounded conspiracies

Please. I just removed some rant mentioning that the "lab leak theory has not been thoroughly rebutted". This shows the lack of understanding on how reason works from these people. The existence of cows in Mars has not been "thoroughly rebutted" either, so what? Meaningless. Get your fallacies straight first.

Pronunciation

So, what region is the first given pronunciation supposed to be appropriate for if the second and third are "US also"? Britain and some Commonwealth nations? It's not made clear.67.83.99.134 (talk) 21:49, 20 September 2022 (UTC)corpho[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

"On December 31, 2019, SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, was first discovered in Wuhan and the city was the location of the first lockdown of the pandemic in January 2020."

Add this following sentence: "Since then, COVID-19 has spread to other countries in Asia and then to the other continents. This has lead to many cancellation of gatherings and festivals around the country and the world. It had also lead to discrimination against Wuhan people and culture. Most unfortunately, this had led 2020 to be one of the worst years to be alive in 21st century and modern history." 204.129.232.195 (talk) 17:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Much of that language seems WP:NPOV. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:28, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
