[edit] Sources

to the previous editors, please add sources on controversial points. Levshin, Aristov, Grodekov, Kydaiberdyuli, Mukanov and all others gave different clan names and population figures. You need to incorporate controversies. Elim.kz is not the sole authority and they rely too much on Vostrov, Mukanov et al. study.You need to specify a source for the population numbers as different sources gave different numbers for highest level clans. Also clan names should not be taken for granted, different historical sources provided different clan names for each and every juz. Just an example, Tarakty should/could be a secondary level clan of Argyn. According to geneaology Uysun was the oldest ry that all others sprang from, it is not a contemporary clan name. There are just too many issues that need my attention in this article. I will keep an eye on it.cs (talk) 05:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Also there is no such thing as Lesser Juz or Greater Juz. A Kazakh speaker can clarify the nuances here. Ulu, Orta and Kishi Juz can be translated as Great/senior Middle and Little/junior but not as Lesser or Greater.cs (talk) 06:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
