i'm sorry if you don't like my edits. i am not a company. i just want to add good information about my country. I'm tired of so many people not knowing the real kazakhstan and the good things the country is doing. i am sorry for the UNDUE and i will do better in future. If you don't like how i write my edit, then please edit it but do not remove the whole thing. i don't think that is right to do. Thanks. |

I would like to ask the opinion of the community about the edits of [[User:Jens2015]] here, which suffer almost invariably of [[WP:UNDUE]] and [[WP:RECENT]]. This is an encyclopedia article about a country, not a local newspaper. We don`t write on the USA article about the inauguration of an hospital, and the same common sense rule should also be valid here.

Nursultan_Nazarbayev webpage also vandalised - needs freezing
the page on the president of Kazakhstan has also been vandalised and needs to be frozen.
Someone thinks its cute to put a picture of Cohen where the president should be.

Location maps available for infoboxes of European countries
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed soon at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish two things:
- whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions),
- which new version (with of without indicating the entire European Union by a separate shade) should be applied for which countries.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 00:52 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps User:Jens2015 might like to reveal whether they work for a PR firm, maybe one mentioned in http://corporateeurope.org/sites/default/files/20150120_spindoctors_mr.pdf Jzlcdh (talk) 06:50, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Contiguous country
@Alessandro57: I see what you mean, but the term "contiguous country" is simply not commonly used, and in fact, google:"contiguous country" does not support such use. The term has certain circulation, but in an entirely different context, meaning "bordering" (Canada is a contiguous/bordering country with USA). (Yahoo Answers do not count as a RS). Even if we accept such definition as valid, I don't think it has a place in the first sentence of the lead -- it simply is not an important, pending property of the country. Spain is not defined as "discontiguous" as far as I can see, nor is United States, although, I concede, Contiguous United States is a term of art. Turkey is defined as rather ridiculous contiguous transcontinental parliamentary republic
(but that's an issue for that article). How does it help reader's understanding at all? Why is it important? No such user (talk) 13:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hallo @No such user:, I agree with you, this is a typical example of wikipedia pedantism. :-) I just reverted your edit to answer your question on the history's comment line, but feel free to remove the adjective if you feel that is superfluous. Bye Alex2006 (talk) 13:31, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hey, I came here for an argument and all of a sudden you agree with me :). Anyway, I removed it from the lead both here and in Turkey: being a transcontinental country is an interesting but rather trivial factoid, and it's linked in #Geography sections of both articles anyway.

- Well done, @No such user:! Besides, I cannot have arguments with someone who likes Monthy Piton. :-) Alex2006 (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Potassium
The Natural Resources section refers to potassium as major export, however this is not included in the references for this paragraph. Hack (talk) 08:56, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Observation on content
Does anyone else feel this article is getting constantly stuffed with news items when taken as a whole, serve to highlight how Kazakhstan is becoming a more attractive place for business investment? Like a PR campaign is taking place? --NeilN talk to me 18:14, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- The problem is that since several months there is someone, using several user names or as ip, who constantly insert promotional content, not understanding that this is a general article about the country, and as such all this stuff is simply undue. Alex2006 (talk) 14:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- This might explain it. [1], [2]. If it continues, I'll probably post to WP:COIN to get other opinions. --NeilN talk to me 15:45, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- This guy usually does not react when he is reverted. He disappears for sometime, and then shows up again with other Kazakh agency news. Alex2006 (talk) 17:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
