Kazakh famine of 1919–1922

The History section forget to talk about the Kazakh famine of 1919–1922. There are mentions about the Kazakh famine of 1930–1933 but not the first one. It is important in the Kazakh history and the article need to mention it. But I can't do it myself because I don't have an account and this article is semi-protected. Can someone add it please? Thank you. 2A01:E0A:D09:A780:504B:BF09:1A6D:BA22 (talk) 13:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming Astana

I think the sentence saying in 2022 the current president names the city after his predecessor is not clear.

When the city changed to Nur Sultan it reflected the first president. When the name was restored to Astana the name of the first president was being removed.

So saying in 2022 it was named after his predecessor is inaccurate. Malemke (talk) 05:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert this unexplained edit, as it contradicts the article's body. 212.3.150.115 (talk) 13:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The user reverted his own edit. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 13:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done CanonNi, the IP was referring to the later edit, in which the editor removed Russian from the infobox again. Liu1126 (talk) 13:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I'm very sorry for my mistake, and thank you for fixing it. I didn't see the full edit history and wrongly assumed that the edit in question was the only edit made by the user. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 13:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Jamedeus (talk) 04:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I'll be surprised if there's any reliable source that supplies a number as specific as 109,000. Largoplazo (talk) 10:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== 4% ==
-A recent edit removed a modifier before  the 4% figure for some area.  I question this removal since the removal gives a false sense of exactness. What is the consensus? [[User:Kdammers|Kdammers]] ([[User talk:Kdammers|talk]]) 17:45, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
-:Well, you haven't described the recents edits correctly. That's not what's happened. The first sentence of the article ends with the statement that Kazakhstan is "...mostly in Central Asia, with a small part in Eastern Europe". There is a longstanding footnote to this sentence which says: "About 4% of Kazakhstan's territory, west of the Ural River, lies in Eastern Europe." A source was given for this percentage. Eight days ago a new editor, with currently 193 edits, decided to ignore that source and without an edit summary add to "about 4%" the following additional unsourced qualification "By some definitions, about 4% ...". that gives the impression that other definitions say it is a different percentage. No source has been given for a different percentage. Today, that was reverted and the longstanding sourced version was restored. 59 minutes later the above message, which makes no sense, was posted. The longstanding and now restored version includes the "about" modifier. The reverted unsourced version includes the "about" modifier.
