Many of these questions arise frequently on the talk page regarding Pakistan.
Q1: Can I add/remove an image? or Why was my image removed?
A1: Yes, you can add and remove images but you might want to take some points into consideration before doing that. The images were carefully chosen in balance to represent the text in a neutral way from all parts of the country. All images have also been thoroughly checked for their copy right licenses while some are added to a switch code so that each time the server cache is refreshed, the image changes automatically to the next one listed in the code. Image removals and replacements are in most cases likely to be reverted due to such reasons. Please consider starting a section regarding the image on the article talk page and discuss how it should be added so as to get a consensus. See also Talk:Pakistan/Archive 13#Positioning, adding & removing images. Q2: Can I add --- and --- details? or Why was my text removed?
A2: All text in Wikipedia has to be verifiable through reliable sources. Any content that does is not published in an independent reliable source can be removed. This article is specifically maintaining a much higher standard after it has been worked on in detail in such terms to keep it from becoming an original research. Also note that while your additions are notable they still might be reverted per WP:WEIGHT. WP:UNDUE and WP:NPOV. In case of such reverts, please use the talk page to discuss the content Also search or take a look through the archives listed on the talk page to see if that has been previously discussed to prevent a discussion going in circles over time. Q3: Why no subsection for --- or ---?
A3: Please see WP:WEIGHT and WP:UNDUE. Everything related to Pakistan can not have a separate section as it would be undue to give it a mention at length. However, most related topics' main article is linked to in the article and the topic covered per its due weight. The main country article has much broader scope about the country rather than specific issues which might probably be occurring at a specific point of time of the country's history or a small part of it. If you still think some thing can be added to further improve the article or that subsections can be further improved, please start a discussion at the talk page with your proposal. Q4: The map of Pakistan is incorrect!
A4: The dark green area shows the total area constituting Pakistan while the area shaded in light green denotes Jammu and Kashmir – territory that is claimed, but not administered, by Pakistan. This geographic detail is per neutral point of view and does not adhere to the Pakistani, Indian or any other government's descriptions of territory. Q5: Terrorism/Kashmir/any other controversial topic should be mentioned more!
A5: Such topics are already covered in the article in terms of their actual issues or effects on the country. If you think any detail is missing, use the talk page to discuss that. Bluntly adding such details to the main country article is generally considered inappropriate. |

Claimed territory?
editwhy is this southern peninsula part of India Shows as claimed territory? It looks very non valid. Kashmir is understandable, but this looks more like a symbolic then a serious claim. 2003:D9:973F:DB63:7632:3B01:AC58:4E91 (talk) 21:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- See Annexation of Junagadh, although emphasis comes from more recent politics. CMD (talk) 01:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- this doesn't answer my point.
- Barely any world doesn't even feature this point. On a neutral perspective its barley any feature worth. 84.158.62.180 (talk) 10:11, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- It seems to me to belong on the map, though a mention of it needs to be added to and the article. (I've already done so to the caption.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 12:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Why won't you update GDP data
editI perhaps forgot how many it have been since release of revised GDP data for Pakistan by Pakistan Bearu of Statistic. It's still on 1.5 years or more old data you are using. I even got banned for vandalism when I myself tried to do it? Why won't you update it? Source: PBS It seems Wikipedia authors have Personal issues with Pakistan. It won't even allow me to add Pakistan economic survey 223.123.41.90 (talk) 01:38, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
Questionable source for the country motto
editThe current source for the Pakistan motto "Faith, Unity, Discipline" is a single line in page 97 of a Grade 5-9 Book to teach people about Pakistan, with no type of verification for the translation, this loose source could potentially be wrong, and we need an actual basis of the motto with actual verification for the translation.
