[edit] "President" and "Prime Minister" are the original titles
In the English encyclopedia, if a word has been translated from another language, the convention is to put the English word first, followed by the original-language word in parentheses. However, that is not the case here. Pakistan's constitution and laws are written in English, and these titles are NOT translations, but the original English designations. It is "Sadr-e-Mumlikat" and "Vazir-e-Azam" that are Urdu translations of the original English terms, which are still used in the Constitution, laws, and government of Pakistan. Would you add "(Presidente de los Estados Unidos)" after "President of the United States" in the English Wikipedia?
[edit] Erroneous Information from Adam Carr
The statistics about Pakistan's 2002 elections from Adam Carr's website are flawed. The popular-vote percentages appear to be correct, but the seat numbers are badly off. The Adam Carr table should be merged with the National Assembly results table. Stanwatch 23:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
