No mention of the Great Seljuk empire? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.44.109.182 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 2 October 2004

Maybe something should be said about the 2500-year-old excavations at Issyk Kul? Or is it too early? Esn (talk) 21:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is some information under the lake's own heading in Wiki. I would like to see some peer-review of the claims mentioned by the paper from the historical team. To date, the only thing I can find is Russian-Kyrgyz declarations. HammerFilmFan (talk) 22:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC)HammerFilmsFan[reply]

Should be updated to reflect the current ethnic conflict

The pogrom against the Uzbeks should be briefly mentioned as NPOV as possible. HammerFilmFan (talk) 22:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in History of Kyrgyzstan

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 History of Kyrgyzstan'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 "rferl.org":

From Helmut Kohl: "Past, Present World Leaders Hail Kohl As 'Friend of Freedom,' Unifier of Europe". RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty.
From Sooronbay Jeenbekov: "At Final Press Conference, Kyrgyz President Atambaev Plots His Political Future". RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty. Retrieved 2017-11-20.

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 ⚡ 00:15, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please add the missing empire in the history section it’s called the Yenisei Kyrgyz Khaganate which was founded by Bars Bek who is believed to be Epic of Manas himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.28.52.84 (talk) 16:15, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None of these are reliable sources. CUPIDICAE💕 16:34, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Then why does that page exist then? Isn’t it reliable enough, I have added the picture and source by Brittanica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.28.52.84 (talk) 17:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sure we can borrow sources from that article.

Change dating system to Common Era

I will be changing the dating system on this article away from the biased, Christian based AD/BC to the common era system. This will bring the article into alignment with secular usage such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India. If you object, please state why you are ok with the biased system here. Eupnevma (talk) 20:02, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before you go changing AC BC please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style, specifically MOS:VAR. Also, instead of hundreds of discussions regarding the changes on hundreds of different talk pages, get a conversation going here: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. Thanks!
