[edit] sectioning

Something is wrong with the section divisions. Two edit links show up at the end of the second section, Geography and Climate. I've tried fixing this but have been unsuccessful.

Temperature Extremes

The Hottest Temperature in Turfan Pendi Was recorded at Lüfkun, a incredible 94 degrees celsius in August 1929. The Coldest was in Januuary 1937 when it was recorded a all-time lows of -59 degrees celsius in Turfan-shan.

I think 'Fahrenheit' was intended here, not 'Celcius'!PeterMcC (talk) 02:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
