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)
- 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)
