- @Mikehawk10: as someone who clearly knows more about the field, is there a reason this is particularly key - as an inherently primary source, but mainly covering controversial topics, how much use was it likely to get? Nosebagbear (talk) 10:30, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Nosebagbear: Sorry for the delay in my response. As you say, it's inherently a primary source that is used in covering controversial topics, and it's currently used currently used in just under eleven-hundred articles despite being marked as WP:GUNREL at WP:RSP. It's awaiting a close (I assume it will be an admin close), but I would expect it to be consequential considering its relatively wide current use should guidance on using the source change.

- This is admittedly a late comment, but thanks for the write-up, Mikehawk10. I hope you're doing well and that you'll be back again soon. The discussions at Talk:Uyghur genocide have been poorer for your absence over the last few weeks and I for one have sorely missed your input. Jr8825 • Talk 00:01, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
