Missing Info
Unlike most city articles this one is completely missing information about the climate

Unlabled Question
Who were the other prominent students at the university?
The tourism website has lots of creepy 'mail order bride' advertisements all over it.
Violations of Wikipedia naming conventions
The names of towns in this article violate Wikipedia:Naming_conventions, specifically Yar Çallı, Älmät, Bögelmä and Çístay.
There are not any city in tatarstan with commonly English name..
- This is incorrect. See http://www.tatar.ru/english/ for a list of official Tatar city names in English. The rest of the discussion is at Talk:Tatarstan Gene s 07:00, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
(exclude Kazan). So Tatar naming is also useful in English. Russian naming is not origin - it is only transliteration of transliteration from Tatar to Russian.
I have tidied up the text somewhat including some of the seeming POV statemsnts - but do not know about the names.

- This image is obviously heavily doctored, so I've removed it. There are plenty of far better images on commons, but in any case the page probably has enough photos. Palefire 14:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Removal of economy info
Many of User:TY-214's edits are good improvements, but this edit seems to have removed some potentially useful info about companies. Any opinions? Offliner (talk) 18:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Citation
I don't know why but can't normally put refs about square, foundation date etc in the Infobox. This is a reliable official source. TY-214 (talk) 23:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- This is because the infobox is using the deprecated set of parameters which do not make it immediately obvious how to add citations. Per your request, I added this ref for the area and the foundation date. If you need to reference other fields, please see the infobox documentation for the parameter names (or list them here; I'll be happy to add them for you). Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:14, November 20, 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've fixed all needed citations.TY-214 (talk) 21:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

That section needs to be cleaned up, definitely. Some citations would be nice. What is said there about there being no Tatar-as-medium-of-instruction schools in Kazan is almost certainly not true -- while there weren't any in 1989, now there are most certainly quite a few. "The main building of the university" also makes no sense -- Kazan has over a dozen universities, and so it's not clear which one is being referred to. "The" implies that there is only one university, which is also far from true. It's also not terribly clear which building would be "main" anyway, especially after the recent bout of university mergers in Kazan. Also, very few university courses are taught in Tatar (i.e. with Tatar as the medium of instruction). It is extremely unlikely that any building of any university would hold classes primarily in Tatar. God, what a mess. I'm deleting the whole last half of the section.
What is missing from the city timeline? Please add relevant content. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 11:18, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
The head of Executive committee changed
For today Alexey Pesochin is not the head of Executive committee of Kazan. Denis Kalinkin is. To prove in you can see http://old.kzn.ru/page21569.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.255.195.56 (talk) 12:03, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Kazan is the leader in different rankinks
Kazan confidently occupies third place among Russian cities with the best quality of life, according to the Russian Government’s Financial University. The city occupies fourth position in investments in the country, and an authoritative international sports ranking included Kazan in the top 30 cities in terms of sports facilities and the number of hosted major sporting events. According to RBC and the newspaper "Kommersant," the city is in the top 20 best and fastest growing cities in Russia.
In 2014, the international "Fitch Ratings" agency raised the credit rating of Kazan from "B +" to "BB-," confirming it in January 2015 with a positive outlook.
In terms of investing in residential real estate, Kazan takes second place among the most promising cities in Russia and is recognized as one of the most attractive destinations for tourism in Russia.

Pure conjecture rather than fact?
Unlike in most Western cities, public bus routes are not municipal, operated by private companies and therefore are very efficient.
