Kazakhstan has a pretty significant coastline... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.95.18 ( talk) 13:45, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
@ 120.16.56.94: See WP:LEADCITE. Summing up, citations are best avoided unless subject matter is contentious and a sentence needs backing up. Thus, referencing a simple, non-contentious definition to FOUR dictionaries which all say the same is superfluous, that's also why I keep deleting these useless references (one of them is a dead link anyway).
There is no point to refer to third-party books when mentioning the HDI rank - when Wikipedia itself maintains a list of countries by HDI. Is it a book you wrote? kashmiri TALK 14:55, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
