G219 extended to Yunnan ?

Looking at zh:219国道 and https://map.tianditu.gov.cn/ it seems as if the route has been extended down to Yunnan (云南) and Guangxi - please cross-check. --katpatuka (talk) 17:43, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Book plagiarizing Wikipedia?

First paragraph of p133 of this book (2017) seems to contain few sentences that are just copy-edited version of this paragraph of the article. Book even kept the same adjectives. Seeing as that paragraph predated the book by 6 years, I don't think there's any issue on Wikipedia's end. --Voidvector (talk) 00:18, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable source

This book has been cited numerous times on the main page:

Taillard, Michael (2018). Economics and Modern Warfare: The Invisible Fist of the Market. Springer. pp. 267–268. ISBN 978-3-319-92693-3.

Most of the content citing it is not verified by the source. Nevertheless, the source itself is quite dubious. For example, we find the statement:

... the Sino-Indian border dispute did not really even begin until 1958, roughly 10 years after China built a road through Aksai Chin, connecting Xinjiang to Tibet.

So the author is claiming that "China" built a road through Aksai Chin in 1948? That is a completely ridiculous claim, and absolutely no evidence is presented! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 05:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
