The Total Nominal GDP Ranking of Pakistan currently reads “42th” and should be changed to “42nd”. Just trying to help, thanks! Theorchardist (talk) 07:58, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Population is wrong

The Infobox says Pakistan has a population of 212,742,631 and gives as its only source the page https://web.archive.org/web/20171015113737/http://www.pbscensus.gov.pk/ . But the page itself says that the Census found a total population for Pakistan of 207,774,520 people. And the World Population clock also agrees that Pakistan population today is of 207 million people: https://countrymeters.info/en/Pakistan 213.245.147.96 (talk) 14:46, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Pakistan position in population ranking is wrong

In the Infobox, it says Pakistan is #5 in population, but it is #6, as the link itself shows. In the text as well, first paragraph says "It is the world’s fifth-most populous country with a population exceeding 212.7 million people.", with a broken link as wrong source, when it should be corrected to "It is the world’s sixth-most populous country with a population exceeding 207 million people." 213.245.147.96 (talk) 21:56, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

please remove the word "Saraiki" which is mention in language information. because saraiki isn't any language there is history of saraiki language in Punjab. the movement who want to divide our punjabi is saying to our multani accent that it is separate saraiki language which is wrong. whole punjab speak punjabi language they have different accents of speaking punjabi.

Operation Searchlight and the question of genocide

The section on "Independance and Modern Pakistan" says:

       Some academics such as Rudolph Rummel and Rounaq Jahan say both sides[138] committed genocide;
       others such as Richard Sisson and Leo E. Rose believe there was no genocide.[139] 

This makes it sound as though the number of kind of killings by West Pakistan are equivalent to the number and type of killings by East Pakistan. Is this what is being suggested?

Looking at the source from Rummell, it seems that he suggests that the number of "demicides" by the West Pakistanis were 3x to 10x the number by the East Pakistanis. Does this support the statement that "both side committed genocide"? Does it support the idea that the "genocides" were equivalent? RayKiddy (talk) 05:15, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Population wrong and/or inconsistent

Please change the phrase "world's sixth-most populous" to "world's fifth-most populous" inside the link in the second sentence of the article. Explanation: At the moment, the second sentence of the article is: "It is the world's sixth-most populous country with a population exceeding 207.8 million." When you click on the link 'world's sixth-most populous', you are redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population where Pakistan is listed on rank 5 with a population of 218,741,520 (as of 25 Feb 2020). This change would not only make the article consistent with the list, but also with itself, because in the info-box about Pakistan, two population estimates are given and the more recent one, albeit different from the number in the list article, explicitly ranks Pakistan 5th in the world in terms of population. It reads: 212,228,286[13][14] (5th). Gunther Klobe (talk) 17:49, 25 February 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gunther Klobe (talk • contribs) 06:05, February 25, 2020 (UTC)

 Done For the reasons given above, fifth-most complies with the UN sources given in infobox and the linked list article. These are the best comparable figures for 2019 and supersede the 2017 figures. Also changed the ranking given in the "Demographics" section" Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:31, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Spam in this Wiki

Hey Folks, I can't edit this one

But https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan#cite_note-245 - This is now an affiliate marketing blog (www.ecosecretariat.org/), it looks like he picked up the expired domain with backlinks from wikipedia

If somebody with edit rights of this page could take a look, that'd be great

Looking at things further, this guy has hundreds of backlinks from wikipedia, all non-relevant now that his page has nothing to do with Pakistan, Islam, or the Middle East
