Verification of Net Worth for Political Figures
i think the way you have listed is wrong. Mr Zardari is President of Pakistan but his source of income is certainly not the Government - you should change this it certainly gives a erroneous message

Edit request from Paki87, 1 April 2010
I think, in the article, writing in front of President of Pakistan, his main source of income as Government of Pakistan Money is a thing of shame for the whole nation. Wikipedia should rather write 'other sources' as source of income. I think, peoples will think over it and correct it :)

Request accepted, 11 June 2011
Well you are right and therefore, I corrected the mistake. This page is also in my watch-list so nothing of this sort happens in future.

 * Wikipedia is not censored... it's from the government, no?  fetch  comms  ☛ 21:13, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

@ Fetchcomms:

It's not a thing of censorship etc. Its a matter that it can't ever be proved. So wikipedia should keep this thing in view :)

If people are gonna say something bad but it can't be proved, is wikipedia going to say so too ? I don't comment on the truth of statement of the site, I only object to very source used !! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paki87 (talk • contribs) 21:33, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) Fletchcomms is right about Wikipedia not being censored, but the source of Zardari's wealth isn't clear from the references. One reference on his article highlights "sugar mills" and vaguely "business ventures." There were graft allegations at one time, but nothing to suggest that the bulk of his income is from the government of Pakistan. Unless we have a reference which makes that claim, we should remove it as a simple matter of accuracy. However if a reliable source were found which states that the bulk of his income is from selling off Pakistan's national treasures, we would include that without regard to "shame".

 * The second reference lists "Source" as "Industry: Politics", which I reduced to just "Politics." (I think they are talking more of the source of the person's wealth, not the current source of the person's income.) I adjusted his wealth as reflected in that article and added the food industry, since that reference goes on about the sugar mills quite a bit. I hope this satisfies all involved.

-- The source you quote for President Zardari's statistics is a web newspaper that I had never heard of before (I've been a journalist in Pakistan since 2005). More importantly, the newspaper itself claims in the intro that the information "has been disclose in a list released in the Internet". How does this meet the verifiability standards of wikipedia? Wikipedia makes an Internet list based on a newspaper report that in turn is based on an internet list. Another newspaper might quote the wikipedia list - potentially incorrect and obviously unverified information is spread on and on and wikipedia is part of it. This is not what I signed up for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.101.192 (talk) 10:25, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Michael Chowdry : edit request
Most of the information in this article is unverifiable and in one case libelous. It is obvious from the comments above that the author has no intention of removing it. But please at least remove Michael Chowdry from the list because he died in 2001. That should also be a good indicator of the accuracy of the sources. Paagalinsaan (talk) 10:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Please Delete the person called Micheal Chawdhry
Well i guess the name of Michael Chouwdhry should be removed from the list... We respect him for bringing his image out of Pakistan but now the man is dead... the list is about the living business people.. Look in the list of India, they now dont mention the name of "Dhiru Bhai Ambani" India's first ever billionaire because he is dead now. So i guess putting Michael Chawdhry's name is giving a sense that We just wan to fill the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mughalemperor (talk • contribs) 20:07, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Exclude the names of politicians from the list
I guess the names of both Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif should be excluded from the list, cause the list is all about pure businessman then when why we are trying just to fill up the list who are not pure businessman. It gives a bad impression to the reader. If you say that no its about each and every Pakistani then i guess it would be a lame excuse cause we know that this page is the part of all those pages which are only showing pure businessman. So please exclude Nawaz Sharif and mr.Asif Ali Zardari from the list. After then only it can become the pure top riches businessmen's list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mughalemperor (talk • contribs) 20:32, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Removed curruption
I have removed corruption from source of income of Asif Ali Zardari. There is no reliable source which says this. There are only political statement. If we count these type of source then we can say this about every politician in pakistan. Please Discuss

On the Contrary I request the humble editor to remove other sources of income and only show corruption. Its a pity that you don't even know the correct spelling of corruption yet you have removed it! If corruption was a political blunder by the person writing then the editor has committed a grammatical blunder. 182.178.37.118 (talk) 08:37, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
