Talk:Khushab District

Initial

I merged Khushab into this page. I did my best to remove redundancies, unintelligible material, large sections of non-english material (this is english wikipedia...), POV, etc. The current article is still a hodgepodge, but I hope more knowledgeable editors can help with that. - Special-T 14:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Villages

I have moved the following information from the article here as it contradicts what the sources say, both official government sites List of Tehsils and districts - Statpak.gov.pk and NRB.gov.pk, the source states two tehsils, this article said there were three:

The Villages of Khushab tehsil are are Anga, Balwal, Bansi, Bola, Daiwal(the hub of the Sanghas), Dhak, Girot, Hadali, Hassan Pur Tiwana (Hamoka), Jaba, Jalalpur Syedan Hamdania, Khabeki, Khatha, Khhotakka, Kufri, Kund, Mardwal, Mitha Tiwana, Mohib-Pur, Nali Nari, Nowshera, Padhrar, Pail-Piran, Parachagan, Rakh Rajar, Roda and Sabral

Villages in Noor Pur Thal Tehsil are: Adhi Kot, Adhi Sargil, Bambool, Billand, Boranawala, Chan, Dhamak, Jamali Balochan, Jara, Jatooi, Jharkil Kalwal, Katimar, Khai Majoka, Maiken, Mehmood Shaheed, Nawan Saggu, Nikro Shaheed, Noor Pur, Obhal, Palowan Pelovanis, Rahdari, Rangpur Baghoor, Shah Hussain, Shahwala and Sidha.

The sources sited above are not updated otherwise now Khushab district has officially three tehsils. Rafi436 (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

And once you add a reliable source to this fact, it can be updated. Please don't add unsourced information, even if it is correct. --Muhandes (talk) 13:16, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Names of the two union councils, Okhali Mohlah and Goleywali, are misspelled in the news reports. I have corrected this. So now only one union council has to be ascertained that belongs to Quaidabad district. Rafiullah (talk) 19:22, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Good work. I hope you can find information about that one. --Muhandes (talk) 16:41, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Lists of names

Lists of names in this article should be sourced in accordance with WP:BLP. As there is no way of constantly maintaining linked articles, this applies to names which have a Wikipedia article as well as those that do not. Any name listed with no verifiable citations should be removed. Refer to WP:NLIST for guidance. Fæ (talk) 09:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Etymology

I have moved the following information here without removing it from the main article as this section needs references. The purpose is to retain the information if the section is removed from the article. It would be easy to restore the section once some references to the effect are found. Rafiullah (talk) 22:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Khushab is a combination of two Persian words khush (Persian: خوش) meaning sweet or tasty and aab (Persian: آب) meaning water. A common belief is that the Persian invaders, from the west, first used the word khush-aab in admiration of the sweet and tasty water found in the historical city situated on the bank of Jhelum River. With time the city started to be known as Khushab.

Since this is the source of the name of the city, and the district is supposedly called after the city, doesn't this information belong in Khushab rather than here? Second, since it it unsourced and was added recently, perhaps it is best not to leave it at either article until some source is found? --Muhandes (talk) 08:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I have found an online reference. Rafiullah (talk) 21:53, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
