Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The Kazakh language was under the unofficial ban in the Soviet period. In recent years, Kazakh-language segment of the Internet is developing rapidly. The development of the Kazakh language has become the first priority of the government. The most successful and large-scale project on revival of the Kazakh language was the creation of WikiBilim fund. The main objective of the fund is to increase the articles in the Kazakh language on Wikipedia. Also, the fund is actively assisting in the creation of digital library, online translator and dictionary. Will WikiBilim be a salvation of the Kazakh language on the Internet?
