Name[edit]

I think the name; Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-TianShan Corridor should be changed to Silk Roads: The Routes Network of Chang'an-Tashkent Corridor. The article reference in Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor and displayed on the website "https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1442/multiple=1&unique_number=1985" is under development and the pictures in the article state that. I believe the person or persons developing the article used Tianshan as a place holder without editing it. There is no place called TianShan. The correct name is Tian Shan and refers to a mountain range. Routes are indicated by a geographic beginning and ending and not by a City and a region or mountain range. The Tian Shan Mountain Range is not on the Silk Road but North of it. Tashkent, Uzbekistan is close to the end of the Tian Shan Mountains and almost on the Silk Road and is much more widely known. This change would be helpful to all who are unfamiliar with the geography of Central Asia. I will edit the title of the Article to "Silk Roads: The Routes Network of Chang'an-Tian Shan Corridor" I will leave it to others to decide if the suggested change is warranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidslindsey (talk • contribs) 16:31, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidslindsey: "Tian Shan" and "Tianshan" are both correct names of the mountain range, both are widely used. The current title is the official name used by UNESCO. Absent evidence of a more commonly used name, the official name should be used per MOS:IDENTITY. -Zanhe (talk) 18:28, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I Agree, this is not an article about any part of the silk road, but about the UNESCO world heritage site, therefore the title of the article should be the name given by UNESCO to the site. --Bjs (talk) 15:23, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
