[edit] Liaquat Ali Khan

I have greatly improved the article regarding LIAQUAT ALI KHAN and have asked for a peer review for the article. I have tagged all the images and have wikified and also provided numerous source citations. Recently it recieve a "B" rating from wikipedia Biography portal. So I ask you to review and give me suggestion so we can improve it.

[edit] Government & Politics

There is a lot of unnecessary information in this section, making it long and unorganized. Current events do not belong in this section. If anyone is up for cleaning this section up, take a look at other "government & politics" sections on WP first to see what I'm talking about. Thanks. Afinebalance 01:20, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actor politicians?

Hi, are there any articles on Wikipedia about Pakistani actor-politicians? If there are any, you may want to add the Category:Actor-politicians to such articles. Thanks, --Gurubrahma 06:10, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Articles Collaborations

Does anyone have any interest in doing collaboration efforts in order to turn articles in featured articles? It looks like the Pakistan article will soon be featured and there are several Pakistan related articles that are not far from being featured as well. Pepsidrinka 05:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I would be interested in collaboration as I note this noticeboard seems a little neglected. Green Giant 06:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Off the top of my head, I know there are several articles that are close to featured article status. Military of Pakistan, History of Pakistan, and 2005 South Asia earthquake all are extensive articles that greatly cover their respective topics. Personally, I would want to make the latter featured due to its international prominence in the news. Though more people probably know less about the military and history of Pakistan, more people would probably be interested in reading a full article about the earthquake. Incidently, the military and the earthquake articles have already been through a FAC so there will be, hopefully, less obstacles once those issues are addressed. I'd like to hear if anyone else has any additonal thoughts, whether on these particular articles, or another article not addressed. Pepsidrinka 14:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Pakistan Ready to use !

I have just got the Portal:Pakistan up and running and it is ready to use, I will continue updating it with articles and images as the weeks go on. Last Friday was WEEK ONE as i posted the first ariticle and image for the portal and I shall change the article and image this friday 24 March 2006, so if you have any ideas let me know.

Some things that need to be sorted;

  • This noticeboard is in no condition to be used. I think it needs to be rewritten and reader friendly. We need more collaborations and wikiprojects as their is a lot of sorting out to be done. Lots of articles are almost featured articles e.g. Economy of Pakistan, Transportation in Pakistan that could be reviewed by an external user to check grammer and tenses.
  • We need to put more awareness of the Portal and noticeboard so we can attract more users that may have alot background knowledge on Pakistan.
WIKI-Pakistan Moniker
Enlarge
WIKI-Pakistan Moniker
  • We need more templates, look at the following styles used on the Indian noticeboard, maybe someone can make some similiar ones for Pakistan, with colours of gold, silver, white and dark green to represent the national and political flags;

Templates from Indian noticeboard

  • We have a new Pakistan Wiki-moniker, that can be changed to create specific monikers for people working on Pakistan article; e.g. A person working on economic articles may like to add a Rupee (RS) sign to the Wiki-moniker etc..

Lets get going !! Fast track 06:03 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Defence Housing Authority

Could someone please look at Defence Housing Authority, Karachi? I have no idea what parts are true and just need cleaning and wikifying, and what parts are completely made up. Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 12:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Need your help

I will appreciate any help or support about the article Dhimmi. The article is full with propoganda against Islam. Read its talk page Talk:Dhimmi and main article. --- Faisal 17:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV map of India

Hi! I've made a hi-res SVG map of India and have put it up as a featured picture candidate on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Blank map of India. I've tried to make the map as neutral as possible encompassing each country's claim and administration. If you have any comments on it please let me know on Image talk:India-locator-map-blank.svg. Thanks and regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jinnah

Great job with the organization guys, keep it up. I have one important request to make. Why are we letting some indians get away with calling Jinnah controversial in his Wikipedia article?? Surely that can be mentioned later than the first paragraph.

Is there anything untrue about the following:

Jinnah is celebrated as a great leader in Pakistan where the people revere him as the hero who helped fulfill their centuries-long aspiration of having a separate state for the Muslims of the Subcontinent. Critics, mostly Indian, who view the partition of India as a great tragedy often criticise Jinnah because of his highly influential role in the creation of Pakistan.

If not, then why do the Indians keep cutting it out? Also, compare that to Gaandi's page...look how flowery it is

Remember people, without Jinnah there is no Pakistan or India let alone Bangladesh!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.25.124.253 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Mass communication

Please see Wikipedia talk:Mass communication in Pakistan. Some of these student essays could probably do with some help. -- RHaworth 15:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles on Northern Pakistan

See this set of placemarks: Northern Pakistan - highly detailed placemarks of towns, villages, peaks, glaciers, rivers and minor tributaries in Google Earth

How about a collaboration on the places mentioned here that have no articles on wikipedia? Because all the placemarks show everything around a town or a village or a peak, we could start by adding the location, the district and the surroundings of the subject. Once we have articles, others who know more about the places will start adding to it. Otherwise, one is very reluctant to start a new page because one doesn't know much about it. Like if you know an interesting bit about Rupal Valley but it's a non-existing page, it's unlikely that you'd create a new article on it, if you get what I mean...

[edit] AfD

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newsletters in Pakistan is on AfD. Looks an obvious delete unless someone cleans it up. Do you guys have any interest in reviving Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Pakistan (actually, it was never alive) ? Tintin (talk) 02:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "India" link

Has anyone noticed that the page's first "India" link goes to the page "raccoon"? (I wonder how that happened?!) Fix this now.

[edit] Article for deletion

If anyone is monitoring this page, your input at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allahdad Bohyo would be appreciated. -Medtopic 05:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics/India disambiguation discussion

Hi All - please weigh-in on this important discussion. This Fire Burns.....Always 05:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] India -> India + Pakistan + Bangladesh

There is a discussion going on related to India before and after 1947. Following is statement which gives you idea, please read whole discussion before editing:


India after 1947 consists of three countries, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. When we use word India, in articles, refereeing to whole India, links are such that they bring us to present day India (Republic of India), reducing size of pre-1947 India considerably. Is it possible that when we refer to pre-1947 India we use a term which encompasses whole India not just present day India? Please comment. This is ridiculous.India was no more of a country pre-1947 than Pakistan.Indicating that pre-British south Asia was "India" is like indicating that olden day east Asia was "China" Ive discussed this too many times before.Nadirali 06:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali

[edit] Pakistanis, I need your help

To the Noble Pakistani Community:

Hi and salaam, I am 10:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC) of the Philippine Wikipedian Community. I found a video featuring your national anthem in www.youtube.com which I feel is very beautiful and very fitting for the national anthem article. I wish to link it to the article regarding your national anthem (sorry, forgot the title) and as citizens of the country article I will be working on, I wish to ask for your permission to grant me this request. Any help will be appreciated. Please reply on my talk page and on the page about Philippine related articles for the notice of the Filipino community. May God's blessing be with you all. --Justox dizaola 10:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Salaam once again. have you checked out the link i gave. please give a reaction, thank you. May Allah bless us all. Shad Bad. Zindabad. --Justox dizaola 11:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead and feel free to use it.However I think,you will need permission from the person who created that video before you post it not really us.Nadirali 05:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Nadirali

[edit] Help with translations

I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help , then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with Urdu. Thanks, --Soman 12:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Email section

I think there should be a personal email section for pakistani wikipedians incase one needs to comunicate in depth with fellow pak wikipedians.Omerlives

[edit] Sending notices

Is it possible to send a general note to many people en masse? Or atleast say all the wiki users listed on a particular page such as Pakistani Wikipedians page?Omerlives 09:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing that is supported by the wikipedia software. You'll have to mail individually or create an external mailing list. Tintin (talk) 05:24, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion list

I have updated and will be updating the deletion sorting list for Pakistan. Those interested please have a look at the articles and decide if they can be saved -- Lost(talk) 16:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Theatre in Pakistan

I've just finished a very basic cleanup of Theatre in Pakistan. It could sure use a looking over by someone more familiar with the topic. Whitejay251 22:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

The DYK section featured on the main page is always looking for interesting new and recently expanded stubs from different parts of the world. Please make a suggestion.--Peta 02:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FA updates

Hi - just to note that I've included these two FAs as Pakistan-related FA content, as it is pertinent to the colonial-era history. Rama's arrow 21:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  1. British East India Company (FAC)
  2. Governor-General of India (FAC)

[edit] Evolution in Pakistan (would be useful for Creation-Evolution controversy

A number of editors seem recall reading that either evolution was banned from universities in Pakistan or that it was officially not taught. However, attempts to find a source for the statement have failed. Assistance by editors who know more about the Pakistani situation or have more knowledge about where to look for sources would be appreciated. JoshuaZ 03:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
