Kazakh famine of 1919–1922

The History section forget to talk about the Kazakh famine of 1919–1922. There are mentions about the Kazakh famine of 1930–1933 but not the first one. It is important in the Kazakh history and the article need to mention it. But I can't do it myself because I don't have an account and this article is semi-protected. Can someone add it please? Thank you. 2A01:E0A:D09:A780:504B:BF09:1A6D:BA22 (talk) 13:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Renaming Astana

I think the sentence saying in 2022 the current president names the city after his predecessor is not clear.

When the city changed to Nur Sultan it reflected the first president. When the name was restored to Astana the name of the first president was being removed.

So saying in 2022 it was named after his predecessor is inaccurate. Malemke (talk) 05:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Edit request

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

 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)

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)

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)

References

Thanks. But I'm curious why you found the BBC unreliable without even saying anything? Benjamin (talk) 17:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

It's because the reference was not correct with no context. Beshogur (talk) 15:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)

 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)
