Hi there!!!! Before you go any further I'd like to show you how you can add an infobox and categories to these articles. PLease see Gir-e Kumar ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Basically you can add an infobox and locator with coordinates to most countries in the world including Pakistan or whatever country you are working on. All you have to do is enter the country and coordinates correctly in the box

♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I have been creating articles like Abdusamat. I'm sure you've noticed that around 85% of world places are missing. Asia and Africa are particularly bad. If you can learn to generate articles like this for the appropriate country and categorize this would be great. If you study how that box works I'm sure you'll see how to add the coordinates and the country map to it. I would recommend however that you work on one country or province at a time - I would use maplandia.com and falling rain for nearby villages. E.g see Mogolo and you can copy the nearest settlements from falling rain. Then you can fill in the re dlinks of nearby settlements etc. You can active a link by placing a [[ ]] around a word like Afghanistan ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

If you could create articles like Mogolo in that format every time this would be a great help ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Its actually dead simple once you get the hang of it. Don;t let that big infobox put you off. Good luck! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Kumaran, Bangladesh ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Yup thats good. Remember though to always categorize your articles e.g Category:Towns in Iran. Gradually I am working at renaming them all like Category:Cities, towns and villages in Niger etc etc. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 20:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you also add a {{iran-geo-stub}} or {{pakistan-geo-stub}} to new articles you create thanks ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 20:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I;d recommend you use pages like this. But ignore population as it isn't correct. This way you can add the nearest settlements in your articles ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 20:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, if you see Kumardad you'll see I;ve added the nearest towns and villages and fized your external links -tidied. If you can take note of all I have done this will be of use to you. Regards ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 20:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

You don't need to discuss the coordinates in the article ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

If you don't categorize your articles, how can people find them?? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

PLease, please note that every article should be categorized. See Category:Cities by country and you'll see just how many articles are categorized correctly ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:11, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Jabal Kumar is neither a city or in the dahuk government. It is a mountains so should obviously be classified as Category:Mountains of Iraq and as it is located in the east of the country I doubt entirely it is the Dahuk governate. PLease be very careful that you create articles as correctly as possible. 09:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Why are you still not categorizing your articles???? Kumartas ???? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 09:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

PLease see here. When you give the external links references you don't need to display the entire URL address. If you see what I have done to the external links if you leave a space after the external links and just add fallingrain.com and then add a [ ] around the whole thing it considerably shortens the appearance of the links and looks a lot tidier. Also can you "wikify" the towns by placing a [[]] around a word. If you see that Kumartas article now you'll see ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 09:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your contributions. Just so as you know, Punjab is a disambiguation page. It's generally considered helpful for internal links within your articles to link directly to the relevant article page rather than the disambig page (see wp:dab). In your recent articles about towns in the Punjab province of Pakistan the correct article would be Punjab (Pakistan). You can pipe this so it just displays as Punjab.

[edit] April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia.

Why are you reverting the article a version that is a few days old? I did not remove any information; I moved them to other articles and then linked to them from the article. Please discuss further changes on the article's talk page before making them. Gary King (talk) 22:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
