Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page regarding Pakistan.
Q1: Can I add/remove an image? or Why was my image removed?
A1: Yes, you can add and remove images but you might want to take some points into consideration before doing that. The images were carefully chosen in balance to represent the text in a neutral way from all parts of the country. All images have also been thoroughly checked for their copy right licenses while some are added to a switch code so that each time the server cache is refreshed, the image changes automatically to the next one listed in the code. Image removals and replacements are in most cases likely to be reverted due to such reasons. Please consider starting a section regarding the image on the article talk page and discuss how it should be added so as to get a consensus. See also Talk:Pakistan/Archive 13#Positioning, adding & removing images. Q2: Can I add --- and --- details? or Why was my text removed?
A2: All text in Wikipedia has to be verifiable through reliable sources. Any content that does is not published in an independent reliable source can be removed. This article is specifically maintaining a much higher standard after it has been worked on in detail in such terms to keep it from becoming an original research. Also note that while your additions are notable they still might be reverted per WP:WEIGHT. WP:UNDUE and WP:NPOV. In case of such reverts, please use the talk page to discuss the content Also search or take a look through the archives listed on the talk page to see if that has been previously discussed to prevent a discussion going in circles over time. Q3: Why no subsection for --- or ---?
A3: Please see WP:WEIGHT and WP:UNDUE. Everything related to Pakistan can not have a separate section as it would be undue to give it a mention at length. However, most related topics' main article is linked to in the article and the topic covered per its due weight. The main country article has much broader scope about the country rather than specific issues which might probably be occurring at a specific point of time of the country's history or a small part of it. If you still think some thing can be added to further improve the article or that subsections can be further improved, please start a discussion at the talk page with your proposal. Q4: The map of Pakistan is incorrect!
A4: The dark green area shows the total area constituting Pakistan while the area shaded in light green denotes Jammu and Kashmir – territory that is claimed, but not administered, by Pakistan. This geographic detail is per neutral point of view and does not adhere to the Pakistani, Indian or any other government's descriptions of territory. Q5: Terrorism/Kashmir/any other controversial topic should be mentioned more!
A5: Such topics are already covered in the article in terms of their actual issues or effects on the country. If you think any detail is missing, use the talk page to discuss that. Bluntly adding such details to the main country article is generally considered inappropriate. |

Kashmir
[edit]Though, the K in Pakistan may stand for Kashmir, according to the person who came up with the name Pakistan, Kashmir was never truly a part of Pakistan. The idea that it was, or is, is purely propaganda. Pakistan is in India, despite constant attempts by Pakistan to occupy it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:680:3080:C587:F489:7BE9:42A9 (talk) 01:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Claimed territory?
[edit]why is this southern peninsula part of India Shows as claimed territory? It looks very non valid. Kashmir is understandable, but this looks more like a symbolic then a serious claim. 2003:D9:973F:DB63:7632:3B01:AC58:4E91 (talk) 21:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Science and Technology
[edit]"Pakistan witnessed a fourfold increase in its scientific productivity in the past decade surging from approximately 2,000 articles per year in 2006 to more than 9,000 articles in 2015. Making Pakistan's cited article's higher than the BRIC countries put together."
This seems like a misleading claim to me. Using "making" as the linking word here is misleading (on first reading, it appears according to this claim that 9000 articles is more than what Russia, China, Brazil and India product together). In the source, there's a reference of the article count of pakistan and percentage of cited articles, these two claims are unrelated to each other. 2A02:1810:140B:2C00:AB7A:9D86:48CF:7F41 (talk) 22:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Linking
[edit]Per MOS:SOB, we should avoid grouping multiple links together to look like a single link. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:17, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
