This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Omer Benjakob (February 9, 2020). "On Wikipedia, a fight is raging over coronavirus disinformation". Wired (magazine). Retrieved February 9, 2020. Countless others have found their way to articles indirectly related to the coronavirus, including those for Sars, Wuhan, "bat as food" – and even Corona beer, which has seen an uptick in editing.

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.

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.

On January 31, 2018, Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, visited Wuhan, spoke at Wuhan University and visited the Yellow Crane Tower and the First Yangtze River Bridge. She took pictures at the Yellow Crane Tower and on the Wuchang District side of the Yangtze River at the First Yangtze River Bridge.^[1] 12.171.253.138 (talk) 01:23, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
