i have made changes. pl comment. Spasage 07:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I've simplified the table and extended it to cover all of the airports. Still needs an introductory paragraph and a history section at the very least. Green Giant 23:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
I've changed the sequence of the pics, it's trivial, but still I thought Karachi was the major airport, it should be on left :) Waqas.usman 17:10, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I cannot now see the table headling. The picture of Lahore airport is above the table headings. I am using firefox browser. The page is useless if you use firefox. Please change it. Faisal 21:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Good try Green Giant for fixing the pictures on the page, for the Firfox browser. They are now aligned on the left side of the page (which is good and look better) but still covers the left portion of the table heading. I can still not see the text. I suggest that pictures and table should be in seperate section or part of the page... ---- Faisal 00:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Have you tried changing your resolution? Admittedly my screen is quite large but I can see the table occupying most of the left and centre with the images separated to the right. Green Giant 01:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I have 1024*768 resolution which is maximum that is allowed in my XP window version. I am going to change the page myself by changing the location of the images. Faisal 01:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please make corrections in the list

Queeta Int'l Airport says "No Customs". Skardu said "Civil", but I changed it to "Civil/mil", Skardu is DEFINITELY in military use, and I think so is Gilgit, but I'm not sure. Please verify all the entries, and if an entry is still unverified, it should not say "Civil" or "No Customs". I hope you'll agree. Waqas.usman 01:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About adding new info to airports (and cleanup)

Thank you guys for this list project, keep up the good work. However, I strongly sugges we follow these guidelines while updating the pages of any of the airports, I've cleaned up several airport articles in the last few hours that had false info like "PIA flies to this airport", "This airport is expected to be upgraded etc".

  • Please keep the "Airlines and destinations" under one heading, because it is only logical, if there are four airlines, you won't mention them all under "Airlines" and then repeat the info under "Destinations" (e.g. see Lahore or Karachi airport)
  • Verify the information before you add it, just adding "Pearl Air" and "Askari Aviation" on every airport is not the right thing to do. If you have any source of the info, mention it.
  • Please don't make new blank headings that have nothing under them like [1]

Remember, no information is better than wrong information. Whatever you put on wikipedia comes on top on google in days, see Google search for chilas airport I hope you'll agree. Waqas.usman 02:51, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Why Picture is moved once again?

Somebody had once again move the picture to the top and once again the table many rows are hidden behind picture. I requested that one should not touch pictures unless he has tested the page on Firefox browser. Why you continue to playing with pictures without testing them on Firefox? Is the page is only for internet explorer users? --- Faisal 15:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I have reduced the image width because in Firefox it overlaps the top right corner of the table. Green Giant 22:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Salam Faisal! Please note that wikipedia is a resource that everyone can contribute to, if something is not there, it is because you or I didn't put it there, if some pic looks wrong, it's because you or I didn't fix it, you could also fix it :) I use opera 8 and I didn't see any problem with the image in that size, so the page is not for IE users only. Thanks to Green Giant, the image is now fixed. I hate firefox, and seldom use it. It won't be possible for anyone to test all pages on a specific browser (especially when such issues are VERY rare, this is the first I've come across), but since you're using firefox, you are an ideal candidate to fix such issues. It'll be good if you mention it on the talk page as well. Waqas.usman 05:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Wassliakum Assalam Waqas, I had done the change before and now did it once again. Please do not move the picture unless you can test it on firefox. If you do not want to test it on Firefox then do not change the location of picture. Thanks. ---- Faisal 06:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't look good at the bottom, was it not right the way Green Giant fixed it? I'll try to fit it on top somehow. Waqas.usman 12:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Pic moved back up, table moved 3-4 lines down, blank spaces, issue resolved. Waqas.usman 12:31, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
No it is still not 100% right (the border of the table is hidden but text is visible). Green Giant change was not good enough, your is much better but still not perfact. ---- Faisal 15:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
The problem is the image width compared to table width. I've reduced the image size down again and it looks fine on Firefox. By the way I use Firefox regularly and I didn't have problems viewing the image and table originally. I've also fixed your reference Waqas and added portals and a commons link. What's needed now is more references to show where the figures in the table are sourced from. Green Giant 15:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
The change in the image done by Waqas was much better than page current look. In waqas change the border of table was conver by the image and in your change many heading are gone under the image. I wish if you had not touch the image. I have firefox version 1.0.7. May be I need to update my firefox. ---- Faisal 17:23, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
The problem is not your browser but your screen resolution and the width of the image and the table. At 1024*768 there is simply not enough width to allow both the image and the table to coexist without overlap. The solution to this problem is to move the image above the references request. That way at 1024*768 resolution the image and table are separate but the image overlaps the reference request. Green Giant 17:58, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Now its look 100% fine and great. ---- Faisal 19:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Faisal added extra empty lines at the top to avoid overlap. To solve this problem, I've removed the width parameter from the table and the extra spaces. There is now no overlap in either Firefox or Internet Explorer at eight different settings (800x600, 1024x768, 1088x612, 1152x864, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x960, and 1280x1024).

[edit] Sahiwal Airport -- please verify and add to list

Hello. Someone knowledgable, please verify that this new airport exists or is under construction, and that its codes are correct. One source, giving SWN and OPSW, is: http://www.logtool.net/toolextra/LINKHelp/help/help_lc_airport_s.htm Thank you. --Mareklug talk 14:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
