Cannabis in Pakistan needs improvement
We have a new article Cannabis in Pakistan, but it could really use improvement and expansion, especially from anyone who can read Urdu sources. With a little polishing, it'd also be really useful to make a translated version for Urdu Wikipedia since it's a topic of increasing interesting these days.

Please see Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_December_22. It could use some input from someone fluent in Hindi/Urdu and who perhaps better understands the context of the word. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:47, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Duplicate article
Found duplicate articles, F.B.Area (Gulberg Town), Karachi and Federal B. Area. They need to be merged and named 'Federal B Area' with a 'F B Area' redirect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.88.165.192 (talk) 20:58, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I've come across 2 essentially identical articles, Totalai and the newer Totalai Tehsil. The latter was created recently by with the notation correct a huge mistake in a name of tehsil. I'm posting here to check which version of the article name is preferred; I do note that most articles omit "Tehsil". If the longer name is preferred in this case, a history merge will be required due to the content being copied from the other article. Thanks! Crow Caw  22:28, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * After checking a few articles, it does seem that none of them use the "Tehsil" suffix in the title, and so the original title can be used. However, there is another issue: the templates, and the two articles, are not consistent about whether it is a "tehsil" or a "union council," which as I understand are two different levels of organization. Is there any clarity on which this actually is? Vanamonde (talk) 04:15, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I expect there has been lots of reorganization over the years and what was once a tehsil might now be a union council or vice versa. YBG (talk) 06:51, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * A tehsil is a subdivision of a district (which itself is a subdivision of a province), and usually districts and tehsils are named after the city or town they contain. For example, the city of Jacobabad is located inside Jacobabad Tehsil which itself is a division of Jacobabad District. Union councils come in later in the tier system (so Jacobabad for example would be divided into further union councils). So the two articles above are likely to be seperate, where Totalai is part of the Totalai Tehsil.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 09:56, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree with . It is a good idea to use "Tehsil" and "District" suffixes in all cases so that we have a uniform naming convention. The corresponding towns of course need have no such suffix. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:33, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
