Talk:Babusar Pass

message: *Re:  "It is the highest point in the Kaghan Valley that can be easily accessed by cars.: Is that true? If it is true, when was the road improved? I read a book written by a woman who pedal-bicycled in the North-West Frontier area of India and Pakistan. She described the Malakand Pass (perhaps before recent road improvements) as "babyfood after my efforts in the Hindu Kush, and I did not have to dismount once", but getting over the Babusar meant much dragging her bicycle up steep rock slopes until "at last I assimilated the unlikely fact that I was on Babusar Top". She also said that with huge effort some men had managed earlier to get an unloaded jeep over the Babusar. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:51, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I added rugby and removed the tag.  American football is usually just called football, so it is proper to call the sport by that name in the article.  (The reason our article on American football is under a different name is because "soccer" is known as football to more people around the world.  That is a valid reason for how we name our articles, but it doesn't dictate how we refer to the sport in other articles.) Johntex\talk 03:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dahamtore Union Council

message: Dear Wiki editors, hello! Once again, on another WP Pakistan article, relating to a place/area (and like many similar articles on places, tribes, people etc) there's a very very long list of 'notable people' given here which isnt really notable by Wiki standards. Once again, as already pointed out on several talk pages and WP Pakistan discussion/notice boards, there is a dire need to set some basic standard for inclusion of people in such lists. Wikipedia isnt a directory and is not a space for self promotion and/or promoting ones friends and relatives, or promoting political figures etc from one's area/s.

Hi, all. W r to the Info Boxes provided in many of these articles--information such as the names of 'Nazims/Naib Nazims' (local councillors etc) tend to get outdated v quickly here, or to become redundant very soon, with our fluctuating political fortunes. Maybe these shoudlnt be added at all please? I have noted at least 20-30 articles with the same problem. A common policy for all such articles is badly needed.

Talk:Saltney

message: said Chester CB sought to absorb Saltney in the 1960s - which would have varied the England/Wales border!  Note to self: research this.  Morwen - Talk 10:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I just redirected Saltney, England here.  I haven't merged the material there since it seemed to be mainly about the areas in Chester which are supposedly considered part of Saltney.  I welcome any reliable sources about how locality names are used in Chester.  Looking at the map, the national border almost follows the railway line, and would seem to provide a 'natural' eastern boundary for Saltney, but a small sliver, the Saltney Park Drive area is actually in England.  Or is it the Clivedon Road area which is claimed to be Saltney?   This already has its own name, Lache. Morwen - Talk 17:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hah, and then I find it -  claims "Saltney (or Higher
Saltney) is the English sector of the greater Saltney community, the majority of which resides in Wales and is known as Saltney Town."  So I'll add that. Morwen - Talk 17:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: The following was temporarily removed from the text because it lacks the verifiable support of an in-line citation.  Without more, this could be merely spurious:
*Yoshiteru, like other shoguns of the Muromachi period, practiced the tradition of shudo. He took a number of wakashu, among whom were Matsui Sadonokami and the young Oodate Iwachiyomaru. Sadonokami remained as the Shogun's lover until he reached adulthood, when he entered the service of the Hosokawa family, where his descendants can be found to the present day.
*Together with him died his wakashu, Odachidono, age thirteen, who committed seppuku upon the death of his lord. The event was recorded by the Jesuit Father Luis Frois. Yoshiteru's mother is recorded to have died on the same day.
