As far as I know, Samarkand is located in Uzbekistan so why does the article state that the city is located in Tajikistan? This should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.154.34.38 ( talk) 00:38, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Popular culture sections can be useful, though random pieces of unsourced and unencyclopedic information are not. The Popular culture section in this article has attracted a lot of random pieces of unsourced and trivial information. Leaving the section in place will likely encourage more unsourced and dubious material, so I have moved it here for editors to evaluate the material, find sources, and look to see if the information can be incorporated into the main body of the article per WP:MISCELLANEA, or a more robust Popular culture section built.

I am beginning to notice a lot of unsourced content within articles such as Bactria and Samarkand lately, namely with the Sassanid Persian Empire.
Essentially, I am saying that this sentence "The Turks ruled over Samarkand until they were defeated by the Sassanids during the Göktürk–Persian Wars." should be removed if there is no source to back it up. Kirby ( talk) 04:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Does the Russian name of the city warrant inclusion in the article? -- Lingveno ( talk) 06:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Does the Tajik name of the city warrant inclusion in the article? -- Lingveno ( talk) 06:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

There seem to be two photos of Shah-i-Zinda in the infobox. Shouldn't the pictures all be of different landmarks? (The captions are also wrong, which led me to notice this in the first place.)-- Vellidragon ( talk) 19:25, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm uzbek and I was born in Samarkand. In this article has a picture of historical building, which named "Ishratkhana". It's not true name of building. It is "Ashratkhana". Ashratkhona arabic name. It means "ten (10) room". Becouse, in history that building had a 10 rooms. This memorial built by Temurid emperor Abu Said for her wife Habiba Sulton.
Current name "Ishratkhana" means "brothel room" in uzbek language. That is why, we shuold change name of building for original name. For more information see

The standing title of the article is Samarkand. However, a majority of the article uses "Samarqand" instead as an alternate name. Shouldn't these be edited to be more consistent? HaapsaluYT ( talk) 18:14, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
