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]
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.
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]
@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.

In the political system section, there is a line: "sixteen principal administrative divisions (fourteen regions plus the cities of Astana, Almaty, and Şymkent)."
That is an obvious mistake. It must be either seventeen or twenty in total, not sixteen, especially considering that in the administrative divisions section, there are 17 regions and 3 towns. 2.133.185.121 (talk) 15:20, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Two things: one, I think I owe myself a Self-trout for not looking at the article's sources—or even the article—before replying, but, two, the existing source mentioning regions claims there are indeed only 16 regions (14 regions (oblasts) and 2 'cities of republican significance').[1] Yes, you do not need a RS to do basic math (and yes I should've looked at the article), but the 16 figure is the correct one.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DaZyzzogetonsGotDaLastWord (talk • contribs) 22:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
