Addition of Olympic medals in figure skating

The sport section of this article includes references to other Olympic wins, but is missing Denis Ten, first bronze in figure skating for Kazakhstan, and this year's win by Mikhail Shaidorov Pinkysaurusrawr (talk) 21:19, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Correct Acronym

"World Trade Organization (WHO)" should be corrected to (WTO), since WHO is World Health Organization. QuidPluris (talk) 17:44, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

It's a member of both, so that's how I fixed it. Largoplazo (talk) 18:38, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Establishing diplomatic relations with Israel in 2025?

Hi, the below paragraph is very confusing, I think.

"In November 2025, after establishing diplomatic relations with Israel, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry issued a statement indicating that the nation had become a participant in the Abraham Accords to safeguard its interests, consistent with the balanced, constructive, and peaceful foreign policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan."

And in fact contradicts the article on Israel-Kazakhstan relations which correctly states the date as April of 1992.

Article size

We are at over 16,000 words now. The history section should probably be trimmed. Mellk (talk) 23:32, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

You're right. I'll shorten this section tomorrow. GnuUserr (talk) 23:35, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. Mellk (talk) 23:36, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I also think that some other sections could be trimmed, specifically the government and culture sections. Sport (under culture) is probably far too long as well as human rights and foreign relations (under government). Mellk (talk) 00:21, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy today. I'm not nearly as experienced as you, so I'd really appreciate it if you could shorten these sections yourself. I might accidentally remove something important. I'm mainly talking about the politics, government, human rights and culture sections. My focus is more on history. GnuUserr (talk) 23:23, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

OK, sure, I can take a look at those sections. We just need to avoid excessive detail for what is supposed to be a summary. Either way, we do not need to remove too much text for now, we just need to get the article to under 15,000 words at least (see WP:SIZE for guidance). Mellk (talk) 14:18, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
