[edit] Muhammad Imran Masood
I have once again removed a link to Muhammad Imran Masood from under famous people. I see no indication that this person is famous at all. It seems to be just a vanity link. Dipics 20:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Most of the facts mentioned in the history section are not accurate. The article needs revision. The history of Gujranwala is not match to the history of either Lahore or Sialkot.
[edit] Gujars are not a Jutt caste
Gujranwala is named after Gujer or gujjar tribe-tahts true but gujers are an entirely different catse-related to what you can say milkmen-infact milkman and gujjers are considered synonomus in Punjab.It is wrong to say Gujjers a are a jutt tribe..howvere Sansi is a jutt caste... --Yahoo 17:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I am from gujranwala and I can assure in gujranwala gujjars are considered a distinct ethnic group. So to say that gujrawala was named because of gujjar jat then it would be entirely wrong. Gujranwala´s name is due to Gujjars and not jutts. jatts and gujjars are considered totally different ethnicities in gujranwala.
I also endorse the opinion of the above people because I am also from gujranwala. I can assure you that in gujranwala , the gujjars are a distinct tribe and have no affiliation with jatts whatsoever. Gujranwala name is on gujjars, it is a fact, I totally endorse it.( Muhammad Usman Butt Gujranwala) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.58.115.48 (talk) 17:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted text relating to manufacturing
I deleted the following text from the "Economy" section of the article:
- AS Cutlery Industries is the one of biggest producers of Cutlery in Gujranwala and also the biggest exporter. Industry of "China Dinner Sets" is also booming.Mr.Muhammad Arshad is the famous Industrialist of the city.
The AS Cutlery Industries article was recently deleted after AfD discussion as likely advertising. The above text is therefore also suspicious. If someone can find reliable sources for the above text, please feel free to reinsert it appropriately. Paddles TC 11:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Personalities et al
I have removed the entire "personalities" section because the only contributors were a pair of anon's who did not provide any reliable sources for why these names should be included. It is part of a wider disease permeating Wikipedia where articles are filled up with junk lists which detract from the purpose of the articles. Please do not reinsert any of this junk unless it is a reliably-sourced and concise list of particularly notable individuals. Green Giant 17:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
