1b: Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section), the lede needs to summarize all sections of the article. The current three-sentence lead would be an excellent first paragraph, but about two more paragraphs need to be added that will summarize all sections.
1b: Although not necessary, I think an {{Infobox person}} would be useful, especially if a birthplace or birth year can be found.
2b: The information about HRW (at "Arrest and trial" and "International attention") is not sourced. The source is here.
3a: More information can and should be added. For instance, his 14 years of human rights work before his arrest is given only three sentences, but there is more info at People In Need and other sources. The sources also provide more information on "Imprisonment and health"; for instance his lawyer was threatened with violence if he continues to represent him, says this source. The "International attention" section is good, but People In Need quotes Askarov as saying "I cried like a baby. There are no words to express my heartfelt joy." when he received the Homo Hominy award, which would be a nice addition in my opinion (not a requirement).
6a: There are two photos that are not freely licensed, and they have a couple problems. For one thing, Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria states "Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information." In practice, this has been interpreted to mean that it is almost never acceptable to have two non-free photos of a person in a biography. You'll have to choose one, I'm afraid. Also, there are problems with the sourcing. Both images have a "source" listed which is just a bare URL to where the image is displayed elsewhere on the web; there is no information about the photographer, copyright holder, or date of the photograph. After digging a little, I found that the "bruises" photo is here sourced to Nurbek Toktakunov, his lawyer, and was taken June 22, 2010. So if you choose to use this image, I think it will be fine. I can't find any reliable information about the other image.

There seems to be an error in the death toll in regards to the June 2010 events in the South of Kyrgyzstan. Please note that around 2,000 people were injured and an estimated 400-900 people killed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_South_Kyrgyzstan_ethnic_clashes   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.201.189.64 (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC) 

I've returned the article to the spelling "Askarov" for now, per WP:COMMONNAME as this is far more common on both Google and Google News. I'm happy to discuss a move if there's something I'm missing here, though. Cheers, Khazar2 (talk) 18:25, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

I've also reverted the spellings in the article, which were done in unfortunately haphazard fashion--some changed, others not, and in one case the title of a reference was changed to another spelling. Again, I'm happy to discuss alternate spellings, but let's make sure we don't switch back and forth throughout the article. --  Khazar2 (talk) 18:30, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

OTRS received an image which may be suitable for this article, but I will let the editors decide.

"During the 2010 South Kyrgyzstan ethnic clashes, which primarily targeted people of the Uzbek nationality, Askarov worked to document the violence."
This sentence in the introduction mentions Uzbek nationality referring to one of the groups involved in the Kygyzstan ethnic clashes. While the word nationality has a historic use of meaning ethnicity, in a modern sence these two are quite distinct. If the ethnic clashes targeted citizens of the nation of Uzbekistan living in Kyrgyzstan, this would be correct. If they targeted the ethnic Uzbeks living in Kyrgyzstan, ethnicity would be more appropriate.
As I'm not too certain and this page has recently received a large ammount of descent edits I'm putting this question here in stead of just editing it. Dondville (talk) 05:23, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Was it claimed that the very fact of documenting atrocities against fellow Uzbeks was tantamount to 'creating mass disturbances, incitement of ethnic hatred, and complicity in murder'? Or was he alleged to have done something else as well besides documenting? 78.154.14.90 (talk) 12:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
