External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Yumen City. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130921055035/http://old-cdc.cma.gov.cn/shuju/search1.jsp?dsid=SURF_CLI_CHN_MUL_MMON_19712000_CES&tpcat=SURF&type=table&pageid=3 to http://old-cdc.cma.gov.cn/shuju/search1.jsp?dsid=SURF_CLI_CHN_MUL_MMON_19712000_CES&tpcat=SURF&type=table&pageid=3

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Sources[edit]

Baidu Baike (https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%8E%89%E9%97%A8%E6%B2%B9%E7%94%B0) includes much more information about Yumen than other sources (such as Britannica). Baidu Baike is also a deprecated source, and Wikipedia advises against citing it. However, I think that because this page is a relatively uncontroversial topic and the facts are well-known in China, it should be an exception to the rule.

Although more recent information and production values may be inaccurate or inflated, I think historical facts (such as the date of capture by the Communists or that Yumen produced 90% of Chinese oil during WWII) should be cited from Baidu and included in this page. If you agree with me about this, please respond to that effect and I will make the changes. If you disagree, please feel free to say so; I am (relatively) new here and am always open to advice.
