 * Thank you for the review. I have addressed the image concern by replacing te Minar image with a smaller image and placed it next to the relevant paragraph but aligned left. I will attempt to address the other issues later today. Green Giant (talk) 05:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the delay in addressing these issues (been busy at work). The lead is now shorter and makes no extended mention of the national heroes. The citation that was needed is covered by an existing citation (Archnet.org). Hope that covers everything. Green Giant (talk) 01:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the delays from the GAN side here, too. As Jack hasn't replied, I'm going to assume he's on a wikibreak and reply in his absence.  Thank you for the improvements to the lead and additional citations. It is an improvement, but I think there's a tiny bit more to do to get this to GA status.  Similar to the heroes, the bird, animal, flower and tree symbols should be mentioned somewhere—just in an extra "Minor symbols" section that specifies what each one is and, if possible, when and why each was chosen.  Also, if in your opinion Pakistan's heroes are  considered "National symbols", then in order to meet the criteria for board coverage, they should have a section as well.
 * Again, apologies for the delays and the annoyance of now having a second reviewer. I hope you agree that this process will ultimately lead to a better article. --jwandersTalk 16:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I think an action should be taken on this article very soon. The nominator, the first reviewer, and the second reviewer have all drifted away. As I see it, it could probably be passed right now anyway. I'll take the liberty of doing so quite soon if no one objects. Noble Story (talk) 14:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

As I said, I think all that all concerns have been addressed, so, in the absence of other reviewers, I'm going to pass this article.

Flag of Pakistan
The section mentions Muhammad Ali Jinnah as the designer of the flag however in the main article (and I think factually correct) mentions that Syed Amiruddin Kedwaii is the designer of the flag. Take a look at Flag of Pakistan, and update accordingly. --uXuf (talk) 07:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The mention of Khidwai in the flag article was added by an anon IP without any source. The Ministry of Information article on the flag says that Jinnah designed the flag. I think it is reasonable to assume that the government of Pakistan is a more reliable source on the history of the flag than an anonymous IP. Green Giant (talk) 17:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
