[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to suggest how Pakistan-related articles can be put in to Wikipedia in an extensible and coherent manner. It also wishes to encourage participation in creating and expanding articles related to Pakistan on Wikipedia. This project also aims to standardize the structure and display of information in these articles. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of Wikipedians.

The scope of the project includes (but is not limited to):

History of Pakistan
Sports of Pakistan
Culture of Pakistan
Geology of Pakistan

and anything else related to Pakistan.

Newly contributed articles can be found listed at the Pakistan-related new articles page. Older contributions are archived here.
