 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

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

Thanks. But I'm curious why you found the BBC unreliable without even saying anything? Benjamin ( talk) 17:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC) reply

It's because the reference was not correct with no context. Beshogur ( talk) 15:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The page says " Kazakh people, derives from Russian: казах." It is not true. Kazakh work derives from Turkic origin, is thought to mean “free man” 12.47.48.228 ( talk) 20:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Pretty sure that in that instance, "Kazakh comes from Russian" was actually meant to say that the spelling of the ethnic group's name came from Russian, as in "if the name was taken from Kazakh, it'd have been "Qazaq" or "Kazak", and not "kazaKH"". That "Kh" at the end is the thing that comes from Russian, not the name "Қазақ" itself. Nursultan Malik^{( talk)} 00:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Is it unreasonable to suppose that English speakers picked up their knowledge of Kazakhs through Russians with whom they were more likely to have had direct contact than from Kazakhs themselves? Largoplazo ( talk) 01:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC) reply
