Talk:Ethnic groups in Karachi

Super Important Changes Needed!!!!! I have not done anything to the article I just wanted to ask some questions so people who are authorized to fix articles can do something about it. In the language portion of Karachi, the table and the first paragraph have different information posted. In the top section, it says 20% of Karachi is Urdu speaking and 32% is Sindhi speaking. In the table, it says that 42% of Karachi is Urdu speaking and 10% is Sindhi speaking. Can someone please look into this and fix it? Whichever one is right just make sure the data matches on the page. Also some of the sources people are using have links that go to websites that are no longer active. So if people can look into that as well it would be great. In my opinion, newspapers are generally not the best source of information because they do not list their sources for information. I think data should be taken from legitimate sources such as .org websites or .edu. In my opinion primary sources are generally better than secondary sources because secondary sources like newspapers have information that is altered or just outdated. If you have ever taken a history class, you will know that often times newspapers and public websites accounts are classified as secondary sources and what they put is their interpretation of the facts. Therefore, if this website is to be the most accurate and best source of information, people should try to find the most reputable sources of information. Just because something is said somewhere once, also try to find it in several other places to verify its accuracy. If there are very little sources, go with the most reputable source (not the newspaper). If you want to trust something the best way to know is if they list their sources. If sources are not listed then chances are the person who is saying the information doesn’t have any evidence to back it up. Please try to find accurate and valid sources because if people just put hearsay on the internet we are dooming future generations to false information. I beg people to try to do their best to make sure information and sources are accurate, not just opinion. Also I want to say that given the estimate of 7 million Pashtuns in Karachi, then they would be the biggest ethnic group in Karachi, not the Urdu speaking muhajairs. In the article, in the same paragraph of the Pashtun estimates, it says they are the second biggest group in Karachi, so I was just wondering how they can both be true. Check the sources. How many muhjairs are in Karachi vs how many Pashtun. You can’t have two ethnicities as the highest. So if someone could verify the statistic and fix the article that would be great.
