Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page regarding Pakistan. To view an explanation to the answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question. 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. |

government
Shouldn't the words "constitutional republic" in the government section of the infobox have a link on them? (24.205.83.199 (talk) 02:43, 8 December 2017 (UTC))
Picture of Military dictator that over throw govt and suspended democracy, should be removed.
There is a picture of Military dictator that over threw a democratically elected govt. selecting a particularly controversial picture is in appropriate. It is not necessary to show picture of a controversial military dictator. It can be mentioned as a historical event. However highlighting picture of a military dictator, who is facing court and legal charges for coup and is highly controversial, is not appropriate. It is suggested to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harisrashid (talk • contribs) 22:20, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Population of Pakistan needs correction
Has Pakistan surpassed Brazil to become the fifth largest country by population? Wikipedia a list of countries by population disagrees... Cloud Colonel (talk) 22:25, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
the answer is yes, and the linked page indicates it. It's a different list that is outdated. I don't know how to delete commenya but just ignore this haha Cloud Colonel (talk) 22:27, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- This information is unsourced. The link given as "source" says that Pakistan has arrived at 207 million people (https://tribune.com.pk/story/1490674/57-increase-pakistans-population-19-years-shows-new-census/), whereas Brazil has 208 million. Either way, the population of Pakistan in this page needs correction, it does not provide source confirming the number displayed (209 million). 195.25.191.145 (talk) 15:36, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
