Talk:Islamabad

The entries for the following restaurants "Cafe @ Brabus" and "Luciano's pizza" are pure advertisement. They need to be changed!


 * You probably could have changed them yourself in the time it took to type this message :). Never mind, I will have a look. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 05:31, 31 March 2010 (EDT)

McDonalds
Sorry, but just not interesting.... if it's closed when someone arrives, then it should be promptly removed. fyi, from what i've read it's being threatened based on illegal construction in a park without proper permissions.... not because of pakistan's discomfort with the west. Seems that it's a pakistani-owned franchise anyhow, only western in the name/logo – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 20:09, 20 October 2010 (EDT)

Islamabad in Punjab
I think that Islamabad should be listed in the Punjab hierarchy for the following reasons: Overall I think it lacks sufficient draw in its own right and its transport connections make it a useful hub for that part of Punjab.Travelpleb (talk) 17:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a quiet, new, planned, concrete, grid city with relatively little of interest for travellers. It is not a the sort of mega-city that can captivate travellers for several days or weeks.
 * It is completely surrounded by Punjab and any trip to it would likely be taken as part of a wider Punjab experience (notably Rawalpindi). E.g. land in Islamabad, have a look round for a few hours, go somewhere else.
 * It is intended to be, and becoming, an integrated conurbation with Punjab's Rawalpindi.
 * The airport, while obviously vital to the whole country, serves northern Punjab domestically.
 * I somewhat agree with you. --Saqib (talk) 15:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I disagree . Islamabad is not in Punjab. Its completely separate Territory .Islamabad should not be listed in the  Punjab [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamabad Wikipedia on Islamabad]

Walking in the Margalla Hills

 * I'm not sure whether such a long trial looks appropriate in the article. --Saqib (talk) 18:58, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Page banners
I've cropped two new page banners. Both showing the most important structure of Pakistan and a symbol of Islamabad. --Saqib (talk) 09:02, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the article's current banner looks nice. From the two above I would vote for the first one. ϒpsilon (talk) 09:10, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Sector Names
As a formed resident of F-6/3 I am deeply sceptical of the sector naming scheme discussed in the article - "D for Diplomats" and so on. I never heard of any such theory and think it much more likely that this is a "post facto" rationalisation. Is there any sort of cite for this? —The preceding comment was added by 81.102.75.130 (talk • contribs)


 * This isn't Wikipedia, so if something probably isn't true and is of no importance to travellers, there's no reason for people to spend time researching it, let alone cite it. Instead, why don't you plunge forward and change it? Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:51, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
