[edit] Mountains

Hello my Pakistani friend. First of all I have moved the peak to english good reasoning well spotted. All you have to do is look at the top right of the page click move and move to desired page. I have mentioned at beginning it is commonly known as Pico Alcanzor in Spanish. Second Tilla Jogian. If you live in the area you probably more than many known more about it than others. Don't feel guilty editing something than doesn't reflect a true picture and gives poor information. Use your knowledge to try to improve it but don't worry if your english is not perfect. This will come in time -think of it as a learning curve mate. As for the Urdu Digest it was clearly an Urdu publication which needs to be categorized. If I wasn't so busy I could probably use my great knowledge and ability to turn it into a good article. Good luck and I hope I am helpful. You can see all of my User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld contribs to see my work on wikipedia in many fields such as János Fadrusz, Leon Moreaux, Tashilhunpo Monastery, William Garwood , The Diamond from the Sky The Covered Wagonetc. I am currently establishing the entire country of Slovakia. Feel free to help me in my work you seem an intelligent enthusiastic person. All the best Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:45, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pico Almanzor

So far, you have cited no source that uses "Almanzor Peak" (and all the ones I've seen seem to have been written by non-native speakers of English, mostly Spanish people over-compensating). Your map with a "+" symbol uses the name "Almanzor"; even if the "+" signifies a peak, it is not part of the name, but merely a cartographical symbol. So the two names that are routinely used are "Almanzor" and "Pico Almanzor", and of the two, the former is already being used for a disambiguation page. As I said on my talk page, it might be possible to move "Almanzor" to "Almanzor (disambiguation)", and "Pico Almanzor" to "Almanzor" (although most of the incoming links to "Almanzor" do not refer to the mountain, suggesting that that's not such a good idea). However, there does not seem to be a good reason to use the name "Almanzor Peak". There is no reason why every word must be translated into English, especially for place-names. Although "Los Angeles" may be translated as "The Angels", we still call it "Los Angeles". The same is true of mountains; we have "Mont Blanc", not "Mount Blanc" and certainly not "White Mountain". --Stemonitis 08:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Syed Pervez Musharef

Gentelman I am surprised by your action. Being Paksitani I think I know more about our names. I have given the full name, the name he is quoted too. Syed is his family name. What is the problem in seeing the family name of a person? I am not a new here. And givng family name or full name is normal. Waiting for your comments about this...

Ok, so vandalism may have been a bit harsh -- sorry. The edits were in good faith, and I way overreacted. But this is an English article, so what we refer to him as is what he is named in the article. It doesn't matter what he's called in other countries. It's the same reason why the article on Germany isn't called Deutschland, even though that's what the Germans call it, ok? Gscshoyru 16:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


Dear you could not convince me. What is the problem in giving the family name? Even in English press it is used. And wikipedia is an encyclopedia and we should provide sufficient information about a person. Syed with his name shows that his ancestors came from Arabia and related to Prophet Muhammad. Is not the American names show from which part of europe a person came or is it not informative to write here a persons lineage. A small word Syed shows too much about this person.

Really? Google-searching for "Syed Pervez Musharraf" (with quotes) returns 8 results. Calling him that is hardly mainstream enough to deserve placement in the article. Gscshoyru 17:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Pakistan

WikiProject Pakistan Newsletter

Shi'a-Sunni sectarianism! What next?

Wikipedia has always had its fair share of disputes. The issues surrounding debates like creationism-evolutionism had been a source of many edit wars. But recently enough, the ball-of-chaos had landed in our very own court. Pakistani issues are now polluted with a new sectarianism, especially the biographical articles celebrating some of the most influential people in Pakistani politics. These edit wars annoyed administrators who had no idea how the problems should be dealt with. Instances of religious inclination (either Shi'a Islam or Sunni Islam) were changed from one or the other. Debates have kicked off on the WP Pakistan talk page. Recently enough, a new policy has come into discussion (actually, it's just a set of rules) that defines major guidlines for such issues. It now awaits votes from all Pakistani editors.
