Comments[edit]

RUSSIAN MAJORITY

I wonder why they have a picture of a mosque when it is a city founded by Russians and with an overwhelming Russian majority like the rest of Northern Kazakhstan... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.53.111.123 (talk) 21:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. Why there is a picture of a mosque when the majority of the people is Christian and Russian speaking? Just add the numbers of different European ethnic groups: Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Poles...65% of the population is European and both them and part of the Kazakh minority speak usually in Russian, no matter of the efforts of the Kazakh Government to change that.--88.18.149.75 (talk) 10:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)'[reply]

I dislike these renamings of the Kazakh government of Russian names of Kazakh cities. I will always spell this city as Petropavlovsk and never as Petropavl whatever their efforts are.

Reverting with images

I put photo of dacha and Orthodox church on top, since is majority Russian with Orthodox population. Mosque is moved bellow, but not erased. After all city is named after Peter and Paul, that is also that Cathedral name. --94.140.88.117 (talk) 20:01, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no picture of the Orthodox church....--83.165.178.34 (talk) 17:43, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move[edit]

Petropavl → Petropavlovsk – The article should be moved to "Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan". It is the official and common name of the city, and it is used on Russian Wikipedia. Also there are no documents stating that the "-ovsk" was omitted.
