[edit] Zhetysu

Unfortunately I have to revert your edit in Zhetysu article: you have no rights to delete massive chunks of text from wikipedia. `'Míkka 03:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shymkent/Chimkent

I understand your editing, and I don't want to engage in an edit war of any kind. That being said, I have posted a response on the Shymkent talk page, listing my statement that since there is no citation required for the current text, why would one be required to change it (in my view, actually correcting it). I understand the rules of Wikipedia, especially regarding Original Research. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer near Shymkent for over 2 years, and I could write a lot more about the city if not for my understanding on the evils of Original Unpublished Research. And yet, I don't like to see Shymkent's page doing nothing more than reflecting the first person that edited it, pushing only one side of a controversy. Controversial is the term to use whenever discussing the relationship between Uzbeks and Kazakhs, especially at their border cities.

Thank you for your time and attention -- Michael Hancock (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of arms of Kazakhstan

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Coat of arms of Kazakhstan, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The text you included is not idiomatic English and it spoils the article. Perhaps you could have an English-speaking friend clean up what you want to add.

[edit] Kazakhstan topics

I made the change to {{Kazakhstan topics}} so it would auto collapse like the other navboxes used in Kazakhstan and other uses. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 12:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kazakh districts

HI if you are planning on starting the Kazakh raions see Districts of Kyrgyzstan which I did. The maker of the maps unfortunately has been away for a month, otherwise I caould ask him to create some for Kazakhstan too. If you could follow the style ofr Kyrgyzstan using the infobox settlmeent this would be great. I woudl suggest creating a template like Template:Districts of Kyrgyzstan too. Thanks ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I don't have time right now, but I will do it soon. BernardTom (talk) 19:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I've begun drawing up Template:Districts of Kazakhstan. I'll try to get it completed tomorrow ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 20:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I spent absolutely ages drawing up that. Put it back in the articles please -the template was set at closed anyway. It is very useful to link all districts in the country together. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 18:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure about this idia. What's the point to put big, awkward template table in each article? I spend time recreating the district with local names and the administrative centres (belive me, corrections take longer time than just creating an article with ONE unique name of the district) and templates for each (!) Province. I also added these templates to province and city articles. Now it's more useful - one can see all info related to the province! The other information about districts of Kazakhstan (actually, I will put some tables) can be found in in the main article: Districts of Kazakhstan. BernardTom (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talas District, Kazakhstan

You added a template in this article which shows only a red link. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 05:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Terrorism and counter-terrorism in Kazakhstan

Terrorism and counter-terrorism in Kazakhstan belongs somewhere on the Kazakhstan template, but I'm not sure which category it would best fit in (history, government, religion, etc.) - what do you think? Otebig (talk) 02:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
