message: As my daily edits I fix and remove adverts/useless ext links from articles and so did with this article. This revert war by anon user is only because a user was blocked for hate speech on my report. Just adding this comment to thank you guys for supporting me against vandals (specially Ragib, IP198). Gives me courage to carry on my Project Clean-up. --Webkami 16:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Can someone who actually speaks English re-write this article, as opposed to a Pakistani who THINKS they can speak English.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Birmingham.Information (talk • contribs) 14:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone tell me why the beginning paragraph gives the population for the city as 2.1 million, but down in the demographic section it gives the municipality a population or nearly 3.1 million?  Is one counting the city and the other the district, if so, than this needs to be corrected, because this page is for the MUNICIPALITY of city, not of the district.  Also, the land area and population need to be given in the infobox, too. --Criticalthinker (talk) 03:43, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is now years old, but it bare repeating for clarification.  Population for "cities" in Pakistan either need to be given for the urban area, irrespective of union councils boundaries, or for teshils, or in rare cases the entire district.  In the case of Rawalpindi, it'd seem that as if the "city" is the tehsil level, so the area and population for Rawalpindi Tehsil needs to be given in the infobox. --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:46, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I think the term "Lakh" should be used for the amount with conversion in bracket since the norms are to use the variety of English associated with the place in question, which is Pakistani English in this case.-lTopGunl (talk) 19:44, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the detailed reply to this. WP:RETAIN is the reason I did not revert your edit and instead chose to discuss on 0RR. Also that would be useless contention. You are right, much of the article might not be written in the right English here. Esp. American English, has the least relation with Pakistani English unless it is computer related terminology (ie. "programme" is used normally but Pakistani programmers use the word "program" almost always). Pakistani English is mainly an evolved form of British English (which is obvious). Pakistani English will not have much clashes if we use British English to write the whole article and then make the detailed changes for Pakistani English if possible. The dot with the "Rs" is many times put (or not) in Pakistani standards too. I think that is not an English issue so no problem there. You are an aware user so I think I don't need to quote about why local English is preferred for an article or any of its other points. Many English words like "cantonment" are exactly the same as British English (though we see "Cantt." being used almost always by the Military Brats). I've seen in other articles that "Km" and "Mile" is converted on every mention.. so I think conversion will not have that effect of creating disarray. Numbering system and other typical terms are the major differences in the variations of this kind of English which could even be debated to be kept on their own notability. The 100 year ago terms are actually still contemporary (mostly) in Pakistan. Infact if you check out the stub Pakistani English, it rightly says that Pakistani English has actually preserved terms and words that are not used in current British English. The city Rawalpindi has strong ties to military (be that be British or Pakistani - which too are the same in many ways), on the other hand Pakistan uses all ISO standards as well which would have led to the over all article being this way in the first place. Now what we have to consider is that on one side almost every one who does not have a graduation degree in Rawalpindi might not know that "Hundred thousand" means Lakh (atleast not without writing down a "100" into "1000" multiplication and then exclaiming, "Oh, this is 'lakh'!") and on other it might be confusing for others. Although this last term is just an insight for you and not a sourced claim (as yet) to be put in the article. Conversion here seems to be the best way. May be it would be better to keep it your way so as not to create confusion and later give it a rewrite to conform with Pakistani English? Regards. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:27, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

message: There is currently a deletion discussion taking place at Commons regarding :File:Map on Dialects Of Punjabi Language.jpg, which can be viewed here. Regardless of whether the map image is deleted at Commons, I think that it needs to be removed from all English Wikipedia articles because it breaches our synthesis policy. The image creator has provided a long list of sources in the deletion discussion and it is evident from those that none contain all of the information shown in the image, nor is it a simple task to work out which bits of information were gleaned from which source(s). We simply do not permit people to aggregate information in this way. It should also be noted that the chances are very high that the various sources did not even adopt the same methodology in compiling their data, which makes the analysis of the creator even more suspect.I have removed the image because the Commons discussion may end up as something other than "delete" and yet the thing is still invalid on English Wikipedia. - Sitush (talk) 19:07, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Map was deleted on two reasons. 1... Commons deletion discussion but now Deletion request by Sitush has been rejected on Wikimedia Commons. 2... Sitush has a self perception that map is synthesis, which is actually not because it is based on latest research of 2007 in the Publication named 'The Indo-Aryan Languages' by George Cardona and Dhanesh Jain. So I am re inserting it. Unless Sitush prove it again as a synthesis and refer me the areas of map being synthesized also mentioning the different publications along with page numbers where from in his kind opinion I have synthesized the map.Maria0333 (talk) 08:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
