Talk:Lolazor, Jabbor Rasulov District

Question and answer
Why is the map in the picture showing Kyrgyzstan when the village belongs to Tajikistan?... --94.21.163.190 (talk) 06:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably because it's a very small exclave within Kyrgystan, and doesn't show up on the Wikipedia maps of Tajikistan. Skinsmoke (talk) 17:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Can someone confirm the exclave answer?--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The recently cited reference states, "The reason for various names used in reference to these territories is their proximity to a larger village, which by default gives them its own name." The pushpin map has been changed to Tajikistan for the village that is in Tajikistan. Jeff in CA (talk) 00:54, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for updating the broken reference. One thing is not clear to me though: this article is about an exclave of Tajikistan named Kayragach or Western Qalacha, isn't it? However, the article now says Kayragach is a village of Tajikistan near this exclave. Then the village must be either in Kyrgyzstan, or somewhere near Proletarsk in Tajikistan. See also this map, on which I do see the railway station Kayragach, just north of the exclave, and a village Kayragach in Kyrgyzstan some 20 km east of the exclave.

 * Thank you for asking about this. It has been a couple years since I last studied this, and although I had the same concern about a purported village called Kayragach in Tajikistan, my edit failed to reflect that. I agree with your logic. It appears that the exclave is uninhabited, refuting any mention of a village being in the exclave.  My understanding is this (having studied the same map as you did, some time ago):
 * 1. Kayragach - uninhabited exclave of Tajikistan inside Kyrgyzstan
 * 2. Kayragach - village in Kyrgyzstan
 * 3. Kayragach railroad station - just north of the exclave
 * 4. As far as I know, there is no Tajikistani village named Kayragach in the area.
 * This article should be about the exclave, as you say. Please go ahead with your edits to accomplish this, as it's all fresh to you. Jeff in CA (talk) 16:36, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
