Having lived in Quetta for a year and a half, i can safely say that it is not the tourists' paradise as described in the article. Most of the city is shabby and dirty and too be frank there are very few obvious attractions to the outsider. On the other hand, it does contain a fascinating mix of cultures and the climate is generally quite good (for Pakistan). Hannah Lake is not he turqoise green play ground described in the article - it has been dried up for quite a few years now sadly

[edit] India Pakistani?
In 1935, a magnitude-7.5 earthquake was recorded in Quetta, India, killing 50,000. In 1974, just north of the recent quake's epicenter, a magnitude-6.2 earthquake occurred, generating 5,800 casualties. [1] Is it in India or Pakistani?
Reply: It was in British India.
[edit] 1935 Quake
It is part of Pakistan. This must be an old reference during the British colonial rule. User:Siddiqui 19:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Population
Quetta's population is at least 2 million.
[edit] Afghani Refugees and total population
On one hand, there are about 600,000 inhabitants of Quetta. However, this is found in the Culture section: Beside millions of Afghan immigrants, the local inhabitants are mainly Pashtuns.
Therefore, I think that this is a contradiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.183.131 (talk) 02:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] s:The Story of Uriah
The above poem was written in the late 1800's taking place in Quetta. Does anyone have a clue why Jack Barrett died? Is Septemeber a likely season to contract maleria or some other disease?--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 14:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taliban?
I'm wondering whether the article should have at least a passing mention of the ongoing questions about Taliban presence in Quetta.
