Talk:Baltistan

message: I propose adding a list of villages in Baltistan to the list. As a Balti, it would be interesting to me, to see how many villages there are and possibly a map to see what villages are around the one I'm from.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.106.30 (talk) 17:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

message: So best I ask...  I've got this Baltistan page in my watch list and see an edit come up linking to www.k2international.com.pk, what appears to be a commercial outlet.  Does this go against the grain of Wikipedia or is this an unobjectonable addition?  Feel free to enlighten me. Qwrk (talk) 16:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[Baltistan Division]] into [[Baltistan]] 

message: I added an explanation of the etymology of baltistan. it seems so simple that there are no research papers or the like for it. only source was an quora answer: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-etymology-of-Gilgit-Baltistan-region-of-Pakistan
https://www-jstor-org.proxy-ub.rug.nl/stable/41926824?seq=6 -> this article from 1969 hints that the regions name (Baltistan) was not created by the Balti people, however it sources 5 E. Chavannes, Documents sur les Tou-kiue occidentaux, St. Petersburg
