    Category:Pakistani pacifists

    [edit]

    Re this edit: a pacifist is someone who opposes war in all circumstances. I don't think that describes Khan, and the article doesn't describe him in those terms. So the category is inappropriate. Prezbo (talk) 23:59, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Khan in 2019: "You know, I’m very—I am—I am, and will always be, a pacifist. I am anti-war. I do not believe wars solve problems. You go to solve one problem; you give birth to five other problems" WikiEnthusiast1001 (talk) 01:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks. If you want to add that content to the article then the category would make sense. But categories can’t be cited so we shouldn’t have categories that aren’t supported by the article text. Prezbo (talk) 01:16, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Resolution vs quality

    [edit]

    @Titan2456 More pixels because of the flags on either side do not make the image better quality for the infobox. The image to be used should be clear and relevant, not a question of pixel count. While the image may contain more pixels with flags, that space adds nothing to the representation and can take away from the individual, which is the most important aspect of the infobox. A smaller, well-cropped image that clearly depicts the subject aligns better with Wikipedia’s guidelines, as it prioritizes clarity and representativeness. The purpose of the infobox is to provide a clear visual representation of the subject, and additional elements like flags, unless highly relevant, create unnecessary visual clutter and do not enhance the reader’s understanding. Three examples for you, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump—use portrait-oriented images rather than landscape-oriented ones. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 02:53, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Should I crop the image to portrait size as a compromise? The previous image is very poorly made, for a portrait, with this one being much better. Titan2456 (talk) 04:38, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, you can crop it, we will see how it comes out be compared to the previous one. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 04:42, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 1 February 2025

    [edit]

    In the "Public Image" section, the second paragraph begins: [[Declan Walsh (journalist)|Declan Walsh]] writing for the ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2005, described Khan

    This generates "the The Guardian" on the page.

    Summary

    [edit]

    @WikiEnthusiast1001 If you keep expanding the premiership section, it will no longer function as a summary since every addition could prompt further balancing with counter-narratives, creating an endless cycle. The objective is to maintain detailed information in the main article while keeping this section concise. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 04:17, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
