[edit] Blue Hats

I reverted the line about blue hats, buses, and age of consent. I doubt, although I do not know for sure, that it is accurate. If someone can source the claim, by all means do so and put it back up. It would certainly contribute to the article. I do not consider Borat a source. Cyrusc 18:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The blue hats thing is a stupid reference to Borat. Revert all such Borat-vandalism. KazakhPol 01:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Internal link

I am removing the Borat internal link, if y'all don't mind. No point in it being there. Հէտտֆոնէսոնէսc 19:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Positive links about human rights in Kazakhstan

Does anyone know of a reputable site that reports favorably on Kazakhstan's record on human rights? If so, the link might be worthwhile to add.

[edit] Religious freedom

I do not see an evident link between the destruction of krishna devotees' houses and violation of religious rights. A year before, there was a similar but much larger incidents which concerned ethnical muslim kazakhs.

(or tape "shanyrak" in google)

There's a large number of mosques, orthodox churches and synagogues in the country, the governement never opposed their construction as it was the case in Switzerland, for example.

The picture of a woman in the article does not seem to me to be neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.141.213 (talk) 02:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kazakh Home Demolished.jpg

Image:Kazakh Home Demolished.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
