I check pages listed in
Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for
orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of
Omsk's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.

Kazakh Latin script orthography has officially changed as of last year, so finding Kazakh Latin script forms the way they are transliterated from Cyrillic is hard for all toponyms as before 2018 it was a free for all. Now for the first time since the official decree there only one form for transliterating Kaazakh and with moves toward it becoming the official alphabet replacing Cyrillic. As for alternative names it can be shifted down below in a separate name section. On Omsk and the past the old Tsarist border used to pass through the area and was over Omsk, the area below being under the two Kazakh hordes
[2], pp. 31-32. During the Tsarist era, Omsk and Kazakhs interacted
[3], p. 81. The relationship kind of was, if one was to compare with the US, its forts and Native American groups either in conflict and later populating the area around and being controlled from those centres.

Agree and Disagree. Your analogy with US cities is not off the mark, but you will note we generally don't include Native American names, especially in the lede, as these cities were not founded by Native Americans. Omsk is a historically Russian city, founded by Russians, with minimal Kazakh presence in the city, both in the present and historically. For cities, the alternate name should only be given if a) there is a significant presence of a group within a city or b) the alternate form is widely used in English (e.g. "Philippopolis" for Plovdiv). The presence of another group in the surrounding area is not sufficient for cities, nor is being formerly located within the borders of another entity. Otherwise we would have to add the Greek, Latin and Turkish names for every city in Albania, and the Latin and Turkish names for every city in Greece...you can see where this goes...

Maybe not the lede, but perhaps somewhere in the body. Possibly more RS is needed about the Kazakh interaction with Omsk of the past, before a better decision can be made about a future inclusion of the name somewhere within the body, if at all. Reading RS so far, the Kazakh relationship with this place is complicated to say the least.

Incase this matter refers to the city and its regions's role in The New Order, which it might well be due to instances of Wikipedia being edited to include references to it or even in at least one (that I know of) extreme case where it replaced real history. For this matter I'd recommend observing the discussions in
Sergey Taboritsky's discussion page where edits including information about TNO have been removed. The matter of a "Popular Culture" tab has been discussed there too yet has been shot down multiple times, even being erased when added. The main argument would be that Fandom, TNO's preferred platform to host its Wiki, is not considered a reliable source of information, again information and argument found on the page above mentioned. If that argument is solved however it will then depend on whether another issue regarding it is at hand or not.
