Talk:Kazakhs

message: This content is textbook WP:UNDUE, as this is not a journal of genetic studies and that is just a very long, mundane, and esoteric list of haplogroups that don't give the reader any more information than the plain explanation given right before it. It's unneeded for this article and the interested readers can refer to the scientific journals where the findings are published. The same editor also has been problematically add "ethnic galleries" despite WP:GALLERY calling for an end to that practice. I feel the long overly detailed paragraph ought to be removed per MOS guidelines as well as the image gallery. JesseRafe (talk) 22:06, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

message: There is a photo near the religions sections that show a Scythian gold armour wrongly labeled as "qazakh armour' and a portrait of Queen Tomiris labeled as "qazakh queen tomoris" as far as i know, the Scyhtians were not Turkic but Eastern Iranic people/speakers and have zero to do with Kazakhs. The portraits i am talking about are these which are also first party photos; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Qazaq_armors_made_out_of_gold.jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Qazaq_Queen_Tomiris.jpg 
The ancestors of Kazakhs were still in Mongolia when Indo-Europeans were living in Kazakhstan and much of Central Asia so there is no relation here. I propose a deletion of this portion because its obviously inserted by some nationalist with a motive. Can a mod or someone with knowledge here give me the green light so i can remove it? Thanks.

message: 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 :Kazakhs'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.
Reference named "Damgaard_Conclusion":
From Göktürks: . "We find evidence that elite soldiers associated with the Turkic
Khaganate are genetically closer to East Asians... These results suggest that Turkic cultural customs were imposed by an East Asian minority elite onto central steppe nomad populations... The wide distribution of the Turkic languages from Northwest China, Mongolia and Siberia in the east to Turkey and Bulgaria in the west implies large-scale migrations out of the homeland in Mongolia... [T]he genomic history of the Eurasian steppes is the story of a gradual transition from Bronze Age pastoralists of West Eurasian ancestry towards mounted warriors of increased East Asian ancestry..."
From Turkic peoples: . "These results suggest that Turkic cultural customs were imposed by an East Asian minority elite onto central steppe nomad populations... The wide distribution of the Turkic languages from Northwest China, Mongolia and Siberia in the east to Turkey and Bulgaria in the west implies large-scale migrations out of the homeland in Mongolia.
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. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:08, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

message: What is this edir that refers Kazakhs as a Slavic ethnic group? Since when Kazakhs are Slavic? Are you Wikipedia moderators learning history from tiktok or something? Nazarbaevax (talk) 14:14, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi, I've never edited Wikipedia before (and I do not know how to) but I just wanted to point out that the link for Kazakhs in Philippines [23] is no longer available. Just thought I'd shed some light on this, have a great day! SailorTF2 (talk) 12:40, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Can we all just take a moment to process the stupidity in the idea that ethnic Kazakhs do cultural appropriation of Kazakh oral tradition for propaganda purposes. WTF? I cannot think of any idea stupider than that and that says something because I've found a lot of stupid stuff in Wikipedia - I have found Koreans and Russians being called ethnic Kazakhs, Crimean Tatars being called the most "especially related" to Kazakhs of all ethnic groups (are we pretending the Karakalpaks don't exist now?), people called "ethnically Muslim" (because apparently Islam is an ethnoreligion now?) - but nothing nearly as close in racism and stupidity as this. You cannot commit cultural appropriation of your own culture, expressing your own culture is not cultural appropriation it is just culture. Cultural appropriation is when other people bastardize your culture not when you retain your own culture. And saying that Kazakhs especially use oral tradition for propaganda is also really stupid, political and moral themes are universal in all oral tradition.--QazyQazyQazaqstan (talk) 20:01, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Article starts: "The Kazakhs (also spelled Qazaqs; Kazakh: sg. қазақ" I couldn't find any reference to this abbreviation. If nobody explains it to me, I'll delete it. It's not documented I believe. Santropedro (talk) 15:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
