NPOV Issues

The following issues were noted in this article: 1. The usage of terms such as "Indian-occupied" and "Pakistani Occupied" 2. The usage of weasel phrases "due to lack of Pakistani strength". 3. Total lack of references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punekar (talk • contribs) 21:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, although I am astonished that no-one else has responded in the last year. The nationalistic POV/peacock/weasel back-and-forth on this article needs to stop. We need to find better words than "-occupied" etc and generally we should follow the naming used by the linked aricles because it is to be assumed that the primary names (ie: not redirects) have consensus. - Sitush (talk) 13:03, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Map

User:Uanfala and User:Kautilya3 The map that is currently in the article does not mark (by shadign or whatever) the location of Pir Panjal range. I think adding it would be nice, does any of you have access to a geographic map that clearly marks Pir panjal in the map.--DBig Xrayᗙ 06:42, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the page doesn't have any decent sources yet. Without sources, it is hard to figure out what to put on the map.

You can find plenty of sources that vaguely mark "Pir Panjal range" that stretches from north of Haji Pir pass till the Rohtang pass. But what happens near Banihal is uncertain. This page claims, without sources, that the Sinthan Pass is in the Pir Panjal range. But the Sinthan top page doesn't say so. I can't find any sources that give any particular name to the stretch of mountains that run between the Banihal pass and Pahalgam. Some call it Pir Panjal and others don't say anything.

If we are happy with a vague line drawn like this, then we can get a map made at the WP:Graphics Lab/Map workshop. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:25, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
