Oasis of Bukhara
- ... that the Oasis of Bukhara used to be a swamp? Source: "This fact, together with the geomorphological data and interpretations, seems to suggest strongly that the inner areas of the oasis were uninhabited because of its swampy and marshy ground." — Rante, Rocco; Mirzaakhmedov, Jamal (2019). The Oasis of Bukhara, Volume 1: population, depopulation and settlement evolution, page 19
- ALT1: ... that Bukhara used to mean the oasis instead of the city? Source: "... the emergence of the city of Bukhara as the primary (if still not unique) pole of the oasis, to the extent that the name of the oasis, Bukhara, became largely identified with its new metropolis." — Rante, Rocco; Schwarz, Florian; Tronca, Luigi (2022). The Oasis of Bukhara, Volume 2: An Archaeological, Sociological and Historical Study, page. 62

Overall: 
Le Loy, I totally forgot about this. Looks good to me. Prefer ALT0, though if ALT1 is picked I'd change "used to mean" to "used to refer to". Please accept my apologies. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️⚧️) 05:26, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Queen of Hearts and Le Loy: I like ALT0 and I find it in the article. My question is the maintenance tag. We cannot run articles that have them, so how about taking that orphan sentence and combining it with the preceding paragraph. You could also de-orphan one sentence in the lead.

- Sure,
Done. Le Loy (talk) 01:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
