Sahiwal information

[edit]

On this page, please add information which relates to the city of Sahiwal and not the entire district. For that, please add it to this page, Sahiwal District. Rzafar (talk) 10:05, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I made the following modifications to the infobox: The population given was the one for the whole district (according to the infobox at Sahiwal District), so I changed it to the population given in the text. The area given here I found no way of confirming, but a back-of-the-envelope calculation made it seem reasonable that it was the area of the District, so I added it to the infobox there, and removed it here.

Biography

[edit]

I have removed the biography of Mufti Zia-ul-Hasan from this article. This article is supposed to written in a Summary style. Going in depth about a politician does not make it a summary. The biography would be appropriate in an article about him, not an article about Sahiwal . Also, what is up with making entire sentences into headings?

Actually, I didn't remove it this time, it was reverted before I finished writing this. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 18:01, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On "Neighborhoods of Sahiwal"

[edit]

There are many, many Wikipedia articles (linked back to Sahiwal on the "Neighborhoods of Sahiwal" table) featuring various villages and towns in the district, most of which have questionable nobility (Many simply state where they are located, and nothing else). Many of them may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines or criteria. GabeIglesia (talk) 00:48, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
