http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6288704.stm I'll let someone who's been working on the page add it. Akubhai 14:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Casualties are a big problem in this article. Some casualty numbers are a few days old when the numbers were still coming in and some are up to date and some are speculation and thus all casualty numbers differ from each other. And these numbers are spread all over the article. It makes it very confusing for the reader to understand how many people got killed. So we need to fix all this.

This is to point out that any religious militancy doesn't necessarily got any relationship with Al Qaida as quoted in the Information Box at the top right corner of the page. Thus, I think it leads to dispute of neutrality of the facts. Further, not always European media reports are neutral for describing events and facts about Muslim countries. Muhammad Shoaib 08:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
So Lal Masjid were so foul,they left AL-Qadea letters so that ISI would discover them later.Anyway there is such report of ISI going in to do the search operation after the operation.Nor there is any other Netural source saying the same thing.Nor Pakistani media have sad said anything about that.My experiences with "Time" are already bitter they make hell of noting.When a Pakistani aircraft was shoot down in over Pakistan they made the mess of everything.Ordinary soldiers were described as "Commando" so it's no problem for them to make People from NWFP as foreigns and belonging to Al-Qaida. If there is Iota of treuth in all this then any Government minister would have spoken that out.User talk:Yousaf465
It's also reported that that one of the Person who has been identified as foreign was actually from Balochistan.User talk:Yousaf465
Basically all references will say what Govt had lied about. Hence they could be even had contact with OBL, what we need is some Govt offical saying it and then some Newspaper quoting him. That is the fun of wikipedia. --- A. L. M. 08:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Dont know how the prose part passed (although there is a caveat above), but i just edited 2 parts with some copy edits. The rest of the article may need to reviewed in this department. Doesn't seem to be poor in a general sense, just Desi English, which may or may not be most legible to other speakers of English.Lihaas (talk) 23:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Can somebody explain the mention of Taliban under the belligerents in infobox? I cannot find any evidence that states that Taliban were involved in the siege. The clerics were pro-taliban and that, I believe, does not mean that they were Tabliban themselves.180.178.149.36 (talk) 04:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC) - — Hamza [ talk ] 04:12, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Why does it say 60000 under Pakistani Army Strength, for something that is not an large scale multi divisional operation? 141.70.3.106 (talk) 05:53, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Some IP users have been blanking sections of this article. Is this part of some decision I'm not aware of? I'm assuming that these edits should be reverted, and the user page should get a Uw-delete. However, my latest reversions have been flagged as "non-autoconfirmed user making rapid reversions." I'm pretty sure that an anon IP user is less credible than an un-autoconfirmed user with quite a few edits that have been accepted as constructive, but I could be wrong. Could anyone shed some light on this so I don't feel like I'm doing something wrong here? Either way, I'm going to go confirm my account now. WikiSpamIsFun (talk) 06:40, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

The article has changed near-completely since its listing as a Good Article nearly 15 years ago. It has grown in size significantly, but poor writing has accompanied this expansion. I have only recently attempted to remedy some of the typos and awkward wording littered throughout the article. The article also makes frequent use of long quotes from sources without effort to paraphrase. This is particularly notable in the "Reactions" section; I understand the purpose of the section, but Wikipedia is not a repository for entire paragraphs ripped from editorials. Speaking of editorial, some of the wording in this article would no longer be appropriate under Wikipedia's updated guidelines, such as "Securing Lal Masjid brought an end to nine days of high tension in Islamabad, normally a tranquil city that had been immune to the violence experienced in the tribal areas of Pakistan." Does this sentence have encyclopedic value? Also, the tenses of this article are also odd as most of the editing done to it followed the event itself. In a similar manner, a lot of the figures in this article are outdated, and attempts to update these numbers have led to a few inconsistencies in the article. Yue🌙 08:21, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
