Talk:Liaquat Ali Khan

message: I have made a major overhaul in the article adding a lot more amount of information. Similarly, I have cited around 9 sources, none of which were present beforehand. The article has also been wikified and numerous pictures have also been added. I have made every effort to present a non-biased and neutral point of view however, if anyone believes that I have been biased in areas, its wikipedia, you are free to correct it.
What I would also like is to diversify the sources which has been cited.(Gambit pk 15:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major overhaul of the article 

message: But it needs imrpovement it doesn't mention a legacy or any criticisms, it is properly referenced and has good pictures ..I am in two minds about GA status..will get back to it. --Zak 19:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article looks good 

message: I have added the "Criticism and legacy" section to the article. Since it might be the most controversial part of the entire article, I have tried to remain as objective as possible and have even written a answer presented to these criticism by Shahid M Amin, who served in the Pakistan foreign service and was a ambassador to various countries, in his book "Pakistan's foreign policy". However I dont feel that answers to criticism should be a part of this section since the section should only focus upon the criticism. Thus I would just like suggestion if the Shahid M Amin part should continue to remain present.
On another note, I believe that I have added sufficient(5 in number) credible references which should be enough. The only thing I see as a deffiency is a picture for this section. I believe a picture of the postage stamps which has his face printed should be a good option.(Gambit pk 11:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism and Legacy 

message: This is a good article, however, there are some issues that force to put it on hold for GA.
First and foremost, it needs a thorough copy-editing. There are garmmar mistakes, as well as points that could be rephrased better, IMHO.
Second, some points seem to verge on POV. For instance, you say in the lead-in he was "an obvious choice for prime minister". However, I dont why exactly he was an obvious choice, as opposed to some other politician. Was he an obvious choice according to some authority on the matter, or is this just your POV?
Third, while you do have in-line citations, I think the article could do with a few more. There are whole paragraphs without an in-line citation (e.g. the first para in "Political Career").
Again, like I said, a good article, but needs some fine-tuning yet. Druworos 22:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA nom 

message: Article has been on hold for over a week, and the concerns given have not been addressed. This article has been failed. (I assume that, as above, this is a good article, but not a Good Article) Homestarmy 20:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed GA

message: Overall, this is a really promising article, with good pictures, clear sections, and a nice selection of references. In response to the request on the Wikiproject Pakistan discussion board, I have a few points to make which may help improve it further:
# Nawabzada, and Nawab: add links to explanations of these titles, or explain them in the article. It is definitely of interest to establish that he was the son of the Nawab of Karnal, and therefore a prince. This would not be at all obvious at the moment to a non-Pakistani/Indian reader.
# Which Oxford college did Liaquat attend? 
# Add link to Inner Temple, and to explain the phrase ‘called to the Bar’.
# What happened to Liaquat's first wife? At the moment it is not stated whether they divorced or she died.
# Add link to separate page for Begum Ra’ana, who is an important figure in her own right. 
# Perhaps the whole of his personal life should go in a separate section?
# Should he be called ‘Liaquat’ throughout the article? I think this would be clearer than the current mixture of ‘Liaquat Ali Khan’, ‘Liaquat Ali’, etc, and it is how he was generally described in documents of the period.
# Jinnah is referred to as ‘Quaid’ in a part of the article based in the 1930s; he was not acclaimed as such until the Lahore meeting of 1940, so this is confusing. In general, in line with Wikipedia’s policy on not using titles, it would be more appropriate to talk about ‘Jinnah’ throughout the article, rather than calling him ‘Quaid-e-Azam’. 
# The sections on Liaquat's political life are good, though I feel that there should be more on his role in the transfer of power. 
# The section on his death is very suspect, especially the phrase “Killing the assassin erased all clues to the identity of the real culprit behind the murder”. We can’t just say this. It would be much more encyclopedic to put ‘The assassin was killed, but rumours have persisted that another party may have been behind the murder’ – with references to published material on the subject, and more detail if you think it appropriate.
# There are a few POV issues, especially in the Criticism & Legacy section. It is particularly important that this section be rendered in strictly neutral language and does not read like an essay. It is not up to the editors of Wikipedia to cast judgment on Liaquat, either positive or negative. Please read WP:NPOV and WP:NOT. 
Hope that helps! -- TinaSparkle 22:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggestions for improvement (an informal peer review)

message: Although, I have rectified almost all the problems which faced the article which led to its failure in the previous GA nomination but there have been a few which I have failed to correct.
Firstly and foremostly, the date of assissination of Liaquat Ali. It is mentioned as 15th October in the references provided of the State Dept whereas an overwhelming number of sources put it at 16th October. For example, the books by Farooq Naseem Bajwa and Rizwana Zahid Ahmad both cite the date as 16th October. A simple google search about assasination of the Prime minister will show that the date is indeed 16th October so I am not sure what to do because the State Dept reference is very credible but at the same time all other sources are giving a different date. At present, I have continued to use the 16th October date until the problem can be solved.
Secondly about how the assassin was killed. The State dept source clearly states that he was killed by the crowd and so do a number of other references(which I will provide at a later time). However I have seen a few sites claim that he was killed by security officers. I contacted my grand father about this and he says that he was killed by the DSP, a police officer. 
Thirdly. TinaSparkle brought up a good point as to what happened to her first wife, Jehangira Begum. The State Dept source only states that the first wife did not make public appearances as opposed to her second wife. The special edition about Liaquat Ali Khan on "The News" mentions nothing about the fate of her first wife and neither does Rizwana Zahid Ahmad in her book. I have tried to find an answer on google but to no avail. 
If anyone can solve the above mentioned problems, I would be grateful. Gambit pk 11:08, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done a full copyedit of the article, removing statements that could be construed as POV and fixing a lot of syntax problems, etc, that would be likely to make the article fail again. I will check printed sources on the date of Liaquat's assassination: we absolutely have to get the date right! I will also see what I can find on Jenhangira Begum and the assassin. -- TinaSparkle 20:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Few things to be considered 

message: The bit about Liaquat's death being proved a U.S. plot stimulated me to check the links provided.  I couldn't find that these proved anything.  I tried to delete this libelous material on 4/14/11, adding information available in declassified U.S. records and providing the appropriate links.  About three hours later somebody erased my changes and re-inserted the original unsupportable material.  
Clearly this page is being watched.  I don't know why somebody is out to slime the U.S. for a sixty year-old assassination whose true motivator is still unknown, but the motive behind this slur is obviously current and doubtless of greater importance than the libel itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SolmonTwo (talk • contribs) 01:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  multiple issues with sources and citations 

message: People have continuously spammed, in a sense, Liaquat Ali Khan's page by adding that statement that he convinced Jinnah to comeback to India. This statement is completely False and most likely came out of state propaganda which is not what Wikipedia stands for and has no credible sources and no primary sources what so ever (that is why it is never referenced). In reality a Ahmadi man by the name of A. R. Dard spent by the Ahmadi spiritual head. This Article by the PakTeahouse provides many primary sources and Jinnah's own words and is highly recommended read:

replies: text: I'm looking into it. Jinnah's return is supported by the references in favour of both Liaquat and Ahmed Dard. We should have a mention of both. Nothing to do in this article, but it should be done at Founder of Pakistan. Faizan 17:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Liaquat Ali Khan and Jinnah's return  

message: I copy here what I said there.
I'm working on the French article of Liaquat Ali Khan right now, and I face difficulties to write about the suspect of the murderer of Liaquat Ali Khan. The english article seems very incoherent : the "Soviet Union and United States" section explain that US murder Ali Khan, whithout any doubt, quoting this source. On the contraty, the section "assassination" explain that we don't know... The better source I found is maybe this one, from Pakistan Today. It's about US declassified papers which explicitly say that the murder was organized by US. But there are very few sources, and they are sometimes incoherent. It seems weird to me that such an important revelation remains largely unsourced, and mention just in two or three newspapers. What is your opinion ? Guillaume70 (talk) 12:49, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

message: =The letter Q in Maltese, Azerbaijani and (transcribed) Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi and Urdu indicates an unvoiced stop like ‘k’ but pronounced further back in the mouth. Examples: Qatar, al Qaeda, Qabbalah, Qom. It should not be confused with the labiovelar in languages of Latin and Germanic origin, which is always written with a following  ‘u’. Semitic ‘Q’ is written without the following ‘u’: to put one in misrepresents the pronunciation.92.13.217.108 (talk) 10:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Greetings! By going through and changing every instance of "Liaquat" to "Liaqat", you've broken several sound and image file links. I have reverted your edits to restore the links. If you would still like to change it to "Liaqat", please look carefully at each instance you're modifying so as to avoid breaking links. That said, a Google search suggests slightly more hits for "Liaquat" than "Liaqat". Even if, linguistically, you feel their shouldn't be the a "u", the spelling with the "u" seems to be slightly more common in English, and consequently WP:COMMONNAME would suggest that we should stick to "Liaquat".
