[edit]Some one is repeatedly adding local low level politicians as "Notable Political Figures" of the district. Try to make it a realistic informative article rather than an advertising to get lame popularity with. A personality is "NOTABLE" within a district if he/she has some contribution for the district or its major portion or he/she has got at least district wise popularity for his/her qualities. Can any one explain why "Muhammad Zahid" an ex nazim of only a union council and a failed local politician Anwar Ali of Chowgah desrve to be included in this article. What message are we conveying to the readers with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.178.248.144 (talk) 18:28, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
language map
[edit]Excuse me ! The Language Map is wrong which is used for all district of khyber pakhtunkhaw Nobody Speak Hindko in Banu District , majority of the people Speak Pashtu and in the Map the Districts of Shangala, Battagram,Torghar, is shown Hindko Speaker While it a 99% Pashtu Speaker, Also there is no Sariaki Spekar in Bannu and lakki Marwat , I suggest to remove this unfeigned map from all districts of KPK it is vandalizing on existence of Pashtun and Pashtu Language in Area — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ouzair88 (talk • contribs) 16:30, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
There are no native hindko speaks in Shnagla district. Some ignorant person has been adding a misleading Map. Wikipedia sjould do something about it. Tigerkhan007 (talk) 19:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
I have tried to talk about the incorrect map being used with everyone, but no one has been able to provide any rationale on why the districts such as Battagram, toorghar, Shangla, Buner, Tank, Karak, etc are shown as Hindko and saraiki speaking when the text states that most of the population their speaks pashto. And also this is a matter of general knowledge that most of the population in the above mentioned districts speaks pashto. Moroever, due to this incorrect and biased map there is a contraditcion between the text and the map being used on the same articale. Therefore, i have replaced this incorrect map with a more accurate one. This will not only make the page more representative of the reallity but will also make wikipedia more reliable.

Languages of Khyber-Puhktunkhwa (Map)
[edit]Languages of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (Pakistan Census 1998) http://www.pbs.gov.pk/sites/default/files/other/yearbook2011/Population/16-20.pdf
Map being used in various articles pertaining to languages of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa is incorrect and biased. It is showing tank as Seraiki speaking which is incorrect as majority of people in Tank speak Pashto. It is showing Karak as Hindko speaking while we know that almost 99% of the population of Karak is Pashto speaking Khattak. It is showing battagram as hindko speaking while we all know that most of the people in Battagram speak Pashto. Similarly, it is showing Shangla as hindko speaking, which is incorrect as most of the people their also speak Pashto. Finally, it is showing Toorghar district as Hindko speaking while we know most of the people their also speak Pashto. I think all this show biasness or incompetence on the part of the person who included that Map. Furthermore, it should also be noted that the map fails to show that most of the people on western side of Mansehra and Haripur speak Pashto, while most on western side of D.I.Khan also speak Pashto. I feel that the Map has grossly exaggerated the number of speakers of other languages. Tigerkhan007 (talk) 17:26, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
The map is showing the regions of the province. Pashto-speaking people are immigrants from Afghanistan. -- Zhamidz (talk) 05:07, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
