How is Uzbekistan Doubly Landlocked?

Kazakhstan has a pretty significant coastline... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.95.18 (talk) 13:45, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

The Caspian Sea is technically a lake; additionally, on the verge of drying up. kashmiri ^TALK 14:57, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Citations in the lead section

@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)

What Kashmiri said. In addition, WP:WHYCITE says that In particular, sources are required for material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and definition of landlocked country is hardly controversial. Later down the page, you'll find Inline references can significantly bloat the wikitext in the edit window and can become difficult and confusing. I'm removing the spurious references.
