The Wikipedia article seems to predate the "facts." --Wetman 20:24, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
"based on slimier lines" ... huh? Kaf 12:39, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I'm working with The Pulitzer Center, a non-profit journalism agency geared towards providing audience to underrepresented news stories. I'd like to link this page to a related articles on the Pulitzer site; http://www.pulitzercenter.org/showproject.cfm?id=27 concerning the political environment in Kyrgyzstan. Please let me know if I can post this link. Many thanks in advance. Blendus 01:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
This is being called the Silk Revolution now on the BBC. Also suggested is Lemon Revolution. It seems that people were marching in silk scarves holding tulips - this is going to be a difficult one! Pictures suggest that the colours of the revolution have been pink and yellow. Also I wonder if this article ought to exist at all. There is much more information in Kyrgyz parliamentary elections, 2005. Perhaps we should just merge this article into that one, for now at least. We don't want to have duplicate information. I would favour merging, personally. A lot of people will be looking up Kyrgyzstan on Wikipedia over the next few days, and there needs to be one central article covering the unfolding events. Since this has all occurred in the wake of the elections, I think that article should be the main one. All this can be changed in the future of course when we are able to take a step back and have more of a historical view of things. I'm interested in other people's opinions on merging. If there are no objections I will do this soon. — Trilobite (Talk) 22:51, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Why does every revolution have to have a name? Why can't it just be the Kyrgyz revolution of 2005? It seems that since the Ukraine revolution every one of them has to have a cute moniker to make them sound more, well, heartwarming.--Theloniouszen 03:34, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I agree - this article should be renamed Kyrgyzstan revolution, 2005, and the material from Kyrgyz parliamentary elections, 2005, much of which is not actually about the elections, copied or moved to here. Adam 04:47, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well it's already on the front page in the news calling it the Tulip revolution, I don't know if we would be able to do that, I think we would probably need more of a consensus for the admins to change it.--Theloniouszen 05:35, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Because the name is a silly media fabrication. A revolution in Kyrgyzstan should be called the Kyrgyzstan revolution. Adam 07:39, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As it's on the main page as "Tulip Revolution", and we already have articles at Rose Revolution, Orange Revolution etc., I see no reason why it shouldn't go back to the original name.--Pharos 17:05, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
You have to wonder who comes up with the names for these revolutions? Certainly was a fast one though. Those Kyrgyz don't pussyfoot around. --Kross 09:01, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
I hope all those who scoffed at the neo-con argument that invading Iraq would trigger a wave of democratic revolutions across the Islamic world are enjoying events in Lebanon and Kyrgyzstan. Adam 15:36, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Talking about the possible revolutions, the "banana revolution" of Belarus has tried to uprise but has been quashed. One country that has been talked about a possible colour revolution is Armenia. See this article [1] 159753 20:12, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Probably because there are no bananas in Belarus. If they had called it the "cabbage revolution" it would have swept the country. Adam 00:03, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The name "Silk Revolution" apparently refers to the breaking of Kyrg. with the USSR in the early 1990s. —Cantus…☎ 00:45, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
There is a repeated mistake stating that Akayev fled the country in a helicopter. This report is not confirmed and in fact no one know if Akayev fled; some sources say he is in hiding on a nearby US military base. I suggest to maitain integrity of the article we hold changes until a few days later when Akayev will finally resurface. -- YA
One girl from Bishkek published photos about this "tulip revolution" or "apricot revolution". Apricots are blossoming in Kyrgyzstan right now. Photos are here Photos part 1 and here
here Photos part 2.
Also she writes about this revolution every day. Probably we could ask her allow to use some photos to illustrate this article.
Now I think it can now be officially called the Tulip Revolution, CNN and the BBC are now refering it as such as of late. The google hits also suggest that the majority of the world's media call it the tulip. I guess that's the consensus. May we transfer the article now? Kyrgyz revo of 2005 is not really the name used in the media.
But is a picture of a tulip all we can come up with here? Marskell 17:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Should we consider revisiting the Tulip Revolution to parse the pages of research (or current events)? I always find these past discussions quite interesting. The passion is quite evident. The result is quite muddy. In the Kyrgyz Republic's case, the results of the Tulip Revolution were replacement of one corrupt, nepotistic regime with another.
