Talk:Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic

message: Dear moderators,
There is a mistake in the list of Soviet republics in the bottom of the article, it has the flag of the Moldavian SSR near the link to the article about the Kirghiz SSR. Could someone please correct this mistake? Bektour 11:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

message: So why was this moved to Kirgiz, instead of Kirghiz, which was what the RM was for? --Golbez (talk) 23:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, why this move to the wrong place?  If anyone is looking under "Kirgiz", a redirect there will serve the purpose of getting to "Kirghiz".Cosal (talk) 23:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Don't panic. While checking google, I came across this page, which says that this term is rejected with source UNESCO. I see no problem in moving to "Kirghiz" if you say I got something wrong. `'Míkka>t 18:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But all of the former SSR names are 'rejected' at that site, probably because they are obsolete. Considering it comes up with the list of other SSRs, I would say that source validates using "Kirghiz". --Golbez (talk) 19:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There are certain users who have been editing other SSR articles on Wikipedia for the past year, by stating that the soviet republics existed until the adoption of their new constitutions in the mid-1990s. 
Kirghiz SSR declared itself independent and changed its name to the Kyrgyzstan in 1991, and there are absolutely no arguments to back up that this state existed until 1993. That would be rewriting history. A new state is not just a matter of all-new constitutions, but also of its status and form of government. Afghanistan has had a lot of states since the abolishment of monarchy in the 1970s: the First Republic (1973–1978), Democratic Republic/Second Republic (1978–1992), the Islamic State (1992–2001), the Islamic Emirate (1996–2001), the Afghan Interim Administration (2001–2002), the Afghan Transitional Administration (2002–2004), and the present-day Islamic Republic since 2004. Yet they have only had four constitutions since then: 1976, 1987, 1990 and 2004. Is that to say that we should change these yearspans totally as well, so that most of these states didn't exist? The People's Republic of Hungary ended in 1989, but an all-new constitution was first made in 2011. Should we also say that the PR of Hungary existed until 2011, then? That would make little sense. Although Kyrgyzstan did not adopt a new constitution before 1993, there's no doubt about that it was a totally different state. It had a totally different form of government, its name was changed, it was an independent state (not a federated state), it was not a Soviet socialist republic. These factors are a lot more independent than the adoption of an all-new constitution. And although the constitution was not all-new, and formally the same constitution although heavily amended, it was amended to fit a new state and was not really the same constitution in practice. You'll have to agree that the 1991 transition is a lot more historically significant change in Kyrgyzstan's history than the adoption of a new constitution.

replies: text: , I am actually fine with your edit, I just saw that you removed quite a bit of text and you summary stated you reverted some edit-warring whereas there was no edit-warring in the article, and I assume it was a mistake. If it is not a mistake, please feel free to restore (may be with a different edit summary).--Ymblanter (talk) 17:10, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article editing 

message: I'm reluctant to make any edits as it appears the various names of the topic in question appears to have been a source of controversy, however the opening paragraph of this article really needs redoing. Currently, the whole paragraph consists of about eight different alternative names, with half of them written out in Kyrgyz, in Russian, and romanised in both languages, all before the article even gets to telling us what the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic even is. Surely a lot of this could be put into notes, as at the moment it's pretty messy for the general reader to try and decipher. A wild wild world (talk) 23:35, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
