Abuse of citations

I removed the following fragment, which was added by Kwékwlos (talk · contribs)[1]

The {{nihongo|'''Okinawa Islands'''|沖縄諸島|Okinawa Shotō|[[Okinawan language|Okinawan]]: ''Uchinaa'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ryukyu-lang.lib.u-ryukyu.ac.jp/srnh/details.php?ID=SN03451|title=ウチナー|website=首里・那覇方言音声データベース|language=ja}}</ref> informally ''Churaashima'', "beautiful island", [[Kunigami language|Kunigami]]: ''Fuchinaa''}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ryukyu-lang.lib.u-ryukyu.ac.jp/nkjn/details.php?ID=NK47813|title=フチナー|website=今帰仁方言音声データベース|language=ja}}</ref>

The sources cited do not support the statement in question. They refer to an island, not a group of islands. As I discussed in Names of Okinawa, the island group was recognized by modern geographers, not by the native populations. --Nanshu (talk) 08:21, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
