Karachi

I have a source for the info, it is in the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supiwani (talk • contribs)

Could you be more precise? Where in the article is the source? Green Giant 21:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

It is in the article of Karachi, under demographics, at the bottom of the table there. Supiwani 21:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

That is not a source and you can't cite other wikipedia articles as sources. It's an image created by another editor who did not cite his source either but made it clear that he had made the table himself. Please find a verifiable source such as a website by reputable organisation and then change the figures. Green Giant 22:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Stop constantly reverting

You have not yet provided a verifiable source. Please note that the diagram by another eidtor is not a verifiable source. Repeatedly reinserting the 14 million figure can be counted as vandalism. Think carefully and find yourself a source before you reinsert this figure. Green Giant 23:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Supiwani 18:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC) what is wrong with http://www.karachicity.gov.pk/ top paragraph?

The top paragraph figure is something the city government has suggested for a while but not backed up with a reasoning. After the 1998 census, there were claims that the real population including shanty towns was actually 14 million, so that figure was really for 1998. In eight years the original claimants have not updated the figure so it is unacceptable for use here. The main problem is that the Population Census Organization has not provided any recent estimates since the 1998 census -> [1]. The reason I added the figure from the World Gazetteer is that it is a reliable source of information which has academic recommendations. If the city-government of Karachi or the population census people were to publish some estimates properly, it would be no problem inserting those instead of the gazetteer figures.

Supiwani 22:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Green Giant, if you could please put more pictures of Karachi's skyscrapers in the article.

I would love to add some good images but the problem is that we are struggling to find decent free images at the moment. If you have any free-for-use images it would be much appreciated. :) Green Giant 22:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Could I ask that when you post a reply on talkpages, the Wikipedia convention is to add the message at the bottom. The easiest way to do this is to click on the plus tab [ + ] next to the edit tab. Thanks. Green Giant 22:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
