[edit] February 2004
List numbering doesn't work for me (I am using Konqueror 3.1) - instead of numbering 1-8 I get 1-4, 1-2 and 1-2. Is anybody else having this problem as well? --Peterlin 09:03, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- It works fine here with Mozilla 1.5. The numbering is done with a simple
<ol start=2>
which should be a standard HTML command to do a numbered list with an offset. So this must be a bug in your browser that it ignores the "start" command. andy 09:08, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed merger
The entire content of the article on Provinces and territories of Pakistan can be found on the Subdivisions of Pakistan article. I propose the two be merged with a redirect at the Provinces and territories page. Green Giant 13:38, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kashmir POV
Argh, an anonymous IP keeps reverting the opening, which I think this pretty carefully neutrally worded, into a sentence that doesn't even make sense ("In addition, the portion of Kashmir is divided into two separate administrative units."). I don't want to get into a 3rv block with him, but can someone else jump in here? He's arguing that this page can't acknowledge the fact that Kashmir is disputed unless the corresponding India page does (though he seems so far to not have taken up my suggestion to edit the India page). --Jfruh (talk) 01:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Why this article was moved from Administrative divisions
There seems to have been little common agreement between editors on what to call this article. Some of the titles make a lot of sense but there are good reasons not adopt them:
- Administrative divisions of Pakistan and Political divisions of Pakistan have the potential to cause confusion with the tier of government called Divisions of Pakistan which existed between the provincial and district level and were only abolished in 2000 but now seem to be restored. One also has to bear in mind that the federal and provincial governments insist on using the word "division" to describe the components of their ministries e.g. Railways division etc.
- Provinces of Pakistan and Pakistani province are only suitable for half of the top tier i.e. we need to include the four less autonomous units (ICT, FATA, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir).
- Provinces and territories of Pakistan does not work because only the Islamabad Capital Territory is officially a territory.
- Subdivisions of Pakistan and Regions of Pakistan imply it is a unitary state but officially Pakistan is a federation.
- Provinces and federally administered areas of Pakistan does not work because the "federally administered areas" is too close to "Federally Administered Tribal Areas" but not close enough to the other three smaller units.
As a result I believe it is better to use the term that the government of Pakistan uses in the official census - Administrative Units, with a small "u" for the word "units". Green Giant (talk) 15:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
[edit] population of Pakistan
Unless I have made a mistake, the population of Pakistan differs from the sum of the population of each of the units by exactly 4,773,000. Is there a reason for this? ~~July 06, 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.194.65.197 (talk) 20:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Wht isn't it a exact number? Why is it a percent? That's very vague. Do you expect people to find it themselves?$200inaire (talk) 03:37, 30 January 2012 (UTC)$200inaire
