Emblem

See Talk:Emblem of Kazakhstan#not correct emblem of Kazakhstan for discussion. I'm seeing @Rkt2312: replacing with the wrong one twice. Official sources senate, egov. Beshogur (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

I uploaded File:Emblem of Kazakhstan 3d.svg and swapped that in. I think part of the prior dispute was a lack of the svg version? Hope this helps, and I'll self-revert if requested. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:35, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers: hey you forgot the white background, can you fix that? Beshogur (talk) 09:34, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

I think I fixed it. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

@Beshogur The quality of the current file is a traced bitmap, and not a true SVG. 71.239.86.150 (talk) 22:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers: thanks that's great! Beshogur (talk) 22:35, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

4%

A recent edit removed a modifier before the 4% figure for some area. I question this removal since the removal gives a false sense of exactness. What is the consensus? Kdammers (talk) 17:45, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Well, you haven't described the recents edits correctly. That's not what's happened. The first sentence of the article ends with the statement that Kazakhstan is "...mostly in Central Asia, with a small part in Eastern Europe". There is a longstanding footnote to this sentence which says: "About 4% of Kazakhstan's territory, west of the Ural River, lies in Eastern Europe." A source was given for this percentage. Eight days ago a new editor, with currently 193 edits, decided to ignore that source and without an edit summary add to "about 4%" the following additional unsourced qualification "By some definitions, about 4% ...". that gives the impression that other definitions say it is a different percentage. No source has been given for a different percentage. Today, that was reverted and the longstanding sourced version was restored. 59 minutes later the above message, which makes no sense, was posted. The longstanding and now restored version includes the "about" modifier. The reverted unsourced version includes the "about" modifier. DeCausa (talk) 22:55, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
