Talk:Foreign aid to Pakistan

Mechanics and grammar

The mechanics of this article are atrocious. I have neither the time nor the interest to clean up this particular piece, but somebody who specializes in international aid should devote some time to making basic grammatical corrections.

What? Error?

"United Kingdom has pledged £n/a million to Pakistan from 2009-2013.[17]"

Fixed it, source said 665 Million, so I put that in.

Trump's Comments and Update

It seems like there should be some updating to the page. Trump has made comments more than once on Pakistan losing funding. Why has this been left off the page? 125.25.20.84 (talk) 16:01, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Foreign aid to Pakistan → Foreign funding to Pakistan – When following Pakistan's news sources related to International Women's Day demonstrations called Aurat March, I realized that the contemporary wording used in South Asia in general and Pakistan in particular, used is 'funding' instead of 'aid'. I do have two purposes here
1) To know whether to continue with with word 'aid' only or word 'funding' is better one?
2) Since any way some of you will join the discussion, I want to know community inclination about, whether it is better to include debates over institutional i.e. private and NGOs funding in same article or it is better to come up with independent article? Bookku (talk) 07:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose It may violate WP:NPOV if moved to the requested/proposed titled. Moreover, most of the RS sources refer to "aid" not "funding". Also, the proposed title may introduce bias. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 10:07, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
