Edit request

[edit]

Please revert this unexplained edit, as it contradicts the article's body. 212.3.150.115 (talk) 13:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The user reverted his own edit. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 13:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Done CanonNi, the IP was referring to the later edit, in which the editor removed Russian from the infobox again. Liu1126 (talk) 13:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I'm very sorry for my mistake, and thank you for fixing it. I didn't see the full edit history and wrongly assumed that the edit in question was the only edit made by the user. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 13:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I'll be surprised if there's any reliable source that supplies a number as specific as 109,000. Largoplazo (talk) 10:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Horses

Thanks. But I'm curious why you found the BBC unreliable without even saying anything? Benjamin (talk) 17:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's because the reference was not correct with no context. Beshogur (talk) 15:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean, how is it wrong? Benjamin (talk) 23:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The page says " Kazakh people, derives from Russian: казах." It is not true. Kazakh work derives from Turkic origin, is thought to mean “free man” 12.47.48.228 (talk) 20:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure that in that instance, "Kazakh comes from Russian" was actually meant to say that the spelling of the ethnic group's name came from Russian, as in "if the name was taken from Kazakh, it'd have been "Qazaq" or "Kazak", and not "kazaKH"". That "Kh" at the end is the thing that comes from Russian, not the name "Қазақ" itself. Nursultan Malik(talk) 00:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it unreasonable to suppose that English speakers picked up their knowledge of Kazakhs through Russians with whom they were more likely to have had direct contact than from Kazakhs themselves? Largoplazo (talk) 01:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Europe

[edit]

@Are2The2: Please make your case on the talk page first. The body states that part of Kazakhstan is in Europe and this is supported by current sourcing. We cannot write that it is only sometimes considered to be partly in Europe in the lead when the rest of the article does not say this. To claim that most sources do not consider Kazakhstan to be partly in Europe requires a good amount of evidence.

I have reverted you already and you were earlier reverted by User:Beshogur. Please refrain from restoring your changes. Mellk (talk) 14:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
