[edit] Northern Areas

Hi there, I notice you changed "Northern Areas" to "Federally Administered Northern Areas" in several articles. As far as I can tell it was a loose term used by one or two newspapers. The government division that covers Northern Areas does not call it FANA. I have removed all instances of FANA unless there is an official name change somewhere.

Response:

<The government of Pakistan uses both a short-form name and a more formal long-form name to refer to this territory. NORTHERN AREAS is the short-form name and FEDERALLY ADMINISTERED NORTHERN AREAS is the long-form name. See the following sources:
