Removing irrelevant Tags from Shakeel Siddiqui article
The article on Shakil Siddique (comedian) has been tagged for Peacock Terms, lack of neutrality, notability, and copy editing since October 2008. It was in a bad shape when I first read it but I have been making improvements and I think these tags are no longer applicable. How can these tags be removed?

Status of 'Port Qasim' article
I have recently done restructuring of Port Qasim. Details have been posted in the discussion page. I want to propose to review the subject article for 'B' or 'C' class. Currently it is marked as "Start Class Article" in the WikiProject_Pakistan.

Secondly I think the article should be rated as of Mid importance in WikiProject_Pakistan as: Currently it is of ??? importance.
 * 1) It is currently Pakistan's second largest port, handling some 35% of country's trade through sea.
 * 2) The shifting of oil terminals from Karachi port and major expansion projects in PQ will make the role of PQ much more vital in near future.

Jammu and Kashmir article should have Pakistani POV section also
I have ecently noticed how Indian POV pushers are trying to vandalise Azad Kashmir article. Now we also have a claim to the Indian Occupied Kashmir, and I think out editors should start putting up Pakistani POV in Jammu and Kashmir article as well. Since at the moment to a neutral viewer, visiting both J &K and azad kashmir articles, it would seem that only Azad Kashmir is disputed and while J &K is a part of India —Preceding unsigned comment added by HussainAbbas (talk • contribs) 22:31, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons
The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at WikiProject Pakistan/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 161 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:13, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Pakistan articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Pakistan articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I have gone through most of the Love stories on the Wikipedia and you have very rightly indicated that all of them needs to be re-written. Most of them are in complete and very key elements are missing. Well it may not be easy to understand the significance of these stories for an outsider, considering this region gives out a very conservative image and women folks are still highly oppressed my the mail dominated society. But these stories are considered "Spirtitual"and "Divine"and each an every person living in even the remotest nook and cornor of the country has heard them and there situations and some of the language is even used in the day to day dialogue. Perhaps just like Romeo Julliat by Shekspear being quoted by the litrary society of England. These stories not only live in the books and folklore of the region but these dwell in the hearts of people and I witnessed myself many a times even the most rigid person wetting his or her eyes upon listening to them. Then there is another problem of accuracy of the ocntent, as many people have tried to write and re-write these epic tales. To connect these with the historical time line would be another challange. In short I feel this section needs a lot of attention from the editors of this website and some experts needs to inducted for autenticity, other wise these would stay as confusing and meaning less as they are. I would really like to contruibute what ever I can but to be honest I know very little about it and its beyond my comprehension to tell right from wrong.

Help needed with JS Group
Hi guys, some weeks ago an IP user added a whole bunch of text to this article, covering alleged financial crimes, fraud, corruption etc, committed by the owner of this group. It is fully unreferenced and poorly written, especially there is no neutral point of view. But I thought that the information itself might be relevant, so I didn't remove it. I am neither an expert on financial subjects nor on Pakistan, so I cannot improve the article by myself. But I'm quite sure the right one to do so is a member of this Wikipedia project, which is why I'm posting the matter here. Thanks for your help!

Is Anti-Pakistan Movement a legit NPOV/academic term?
One article I noted (Shabbir Ahmad Usmani) uses the redlink Anti-Pakistan Movement; was that a specific recognised movement, or is that just a negative term pro-Pakistan folks used to label political movements they disagreed with?

If the latter, is it worth having an article on a political label or theme, even if never self-applied?MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Focusing effort on highest-visibility yet worst-quality Pakistan articles?
As we've noted in past months/years, Pakistan articles have ongoing issues on unsourced content. Rather than get concerned (in the short-term) about articles on villages of 400 people with content like "people here are being very noble and proud, but many have migrated to YORKSHIRE, UK", we can instead focus on articles getting high visibility which have gaping flaws. Personally, before deciding what articles to buckle-down on I tend to use http://www.stats.grok.se to get some idea of monthly hit rates. If folks want to specifically point out an article of high visibility (perhaps 10K hits per month?) maybe a couple of us can team up and tackle that one, and then move on to another high-visibility article.

Unreferenced BLPs - the final surge
Since early in 2010, many editors have assisted in the referencing or removal of over 90% of the Unreferenced Biographies of Living People, bringing the total down from over 50,000 to the current 4,862 (as of 16:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)). Thank you for all of the work you've done to date, but we are now asking for your help in finishing this task. There are two main projects which are devoted to removing UBLPs from en.Wikipedia:
 * WP:URBLP has set up a large number of topic based lists, which are updated each day by a WP:BOT. Your project's list is located at WikiProject Pakistan/Unreferenced BLPs and currently contains 76 articles.
 * WP:URBLPR is focusing on clearing out the backlog based on the month in which each article was tagged as being unreferenced. The current task is Category:Unreferenced BLPs from September 2009, and it is the last month remaining from 2009.
 * You can also reference a or make your own lists using one of the catscan tools, such as this search for |9&doit=1 Pakistani musicians.

All you have to do is pick your articles and then add suitable references from reliable sources and remove the BLP unsourced template. There is no need to log your changes, register or remove the articles from the list. If you need any help, or have any comments, please ask at WP:URBLPR or WT:URBLP.

Experienced editors with specialist regional knowledge urgently wanted
The Arbitration Committee is seeking to appoint additional people to the CheckUser and Oversight teams, in particular people with specialist knowledge.


 * Because of increasing activity in the South Asian, Southeast Asian, or Middle Eastern regions, CheckUser applications are particularly sought from people who not only meet our general requirements but also are familiar with the ISPs and typical editing patterns of any of these regions.

Successful candidates are likely to be regularly available and already familiar with local and global processes, policies, and guidelines especially those concerning CheckUser and Oversight. CheckUser candidates are expected to be technically proficient, and previous experience with OTRS is beneficial for Oversight candidates. All candidates must at least 18 years of age; have attained legal majority in their jurisdiction of residence; and be willing to identify to the Wikimedia Foundation prior to receiving permissions. If you think you may be suitably qualified, please see the appointments page for further information. The application period is scheduled to close 18 September 2011.

So called " Dominion of " Pakistan
The following is an extract from the Indian Independence Act 1947:

The following is from the text of an important (self-explanatory) UN resolution from 1947:

The following are a sample (sample only) of the many treaties during the period that Pakistan was a Dominion. In none is Pakistan described as the "Dominion of Pakistan":


 * ;
 * Exchange of notes constituting a visa agreement. Karachi, 16 August 1957; *AGREEMENT1 BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN RELATING TO AIR SERVICES. SIGNED AT KARACHI, ON 16 JULY 1949;
 * No. 2736. MUTUAL DEFENCE ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT1 BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SIGNED AT KARACHI, ON 19 MAY 1954;
 * No. 2472. AGREEMENT1 BETWEEN THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN CONCERNING THE UNITED NATIONS REGIONAL TRAINING CENTRE IN RAILWAY OPERATIONS AND SIGNALLING AT LAHORE. SIGNED AT KARACHI,ON 25 JANUARY 1954

There is no dispute but that Pakistan was indeed a Dominion between 1947 and 1956. However, it is abundently clear that both its common name and its official name was never the "Dominion of Pakistan" although that term was used sometimes. Its official name during that period was simply Pakistan. Accordingly the article called "Dominion of Pakistan" should be moved to something more appropriate e.g. "Pakistan (Dominion)" and the article revised accordingly. I want to raise this here so as to (i) reach consensus as to the facts; and (ii) agree where the article should be moved. NelsonSudan (talk) 18:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)'Italic text'

-Yes; you're quite right in this instance, although the term "Dominion of Pakistan" was in sporadic official use:

http://untreaty.un.org/unts/1_60000/2/12/00002575.pdf-here's a treaty between Pakistan and India, dated 30th of June 1948.In it, both India and Pakistan are referred to as "the Dominion of India" and the "Dominion of Pakistan" JWULTRABLIZZARD (talk) 11:20, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I think this is similar to the current constitutional name being "Islamic Republic of Pakistan" while court and government documents usually read "Government of Pakistan" instead of "Government of Islamic Republic of Pakistan". I could be wrong. --lTopGunl (talk) 19:17, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
