Linking in this page edit

Is terrible to be honest. Way way overlinking. Examples are Research Scientist which should be Research Scientist. And many words linked here do not need to be, such as member. We also have several words way way overlinked. I'll do the best I can to work through it but I may need some assistance. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 07:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

And I see it's returned. So I added the cleanup tag so others can take a gander and work on it. Not every word should be linked. Really. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 06:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Wow, you did a lot of clean up Woohookitty! I went through all the sections up through "Heading Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC)". I beleive it is reading better. Pknkly (talk) 03:24, 1 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
@Woohookitty: Same fri##in thing is still happening. It's only ELEVEN YEARS later. That weird linking, and mass over-linking, you mention above is exactly what I was 'fighting' against in 2015, now the links are back and I'm back. See my latest round of edits here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 220 of Borg 22:10, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thoughts on not getting award edit

I want to add some suggestion for Munir Ahmad Khan. I think the only reason Munir Ahmad Khan didn't awarded with Nishan-e-Imtiaz, was just because he was closer to Prime Minister (late) Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. That was his mistake that prevented him from awarding with Nishan-e-Imtiaz. And, Thanks User:Woohookitty, for helping me out with Munir Ahmad Khan's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ironboy11 (talkcontribs) 06:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Lacking In-line citations making it sound "story" like edit

Looks like a lot of references were used, but none were mentioned within the article statements. Please do not continue to edit without using in-line citations. Without these citations other editors can not validate the statements within the article. The neutrality of the article is also questionable because it lacks the citations.

The use of the footnotes and in-line citations improved the article. However, it still needs a lot of cleanup (e.g., assigning names to repetative citations and using them instead of repeating them). Pknkly (talk) 02:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Section "Saviour of Nuclear Program" lifted from copy edit

The section was lifted word for word from a speech by Mr. Abdul Sattar, Ex- Foreign Minister of Pakistan which is documented at the following source:

"Munir Ahmad Khan Memorial Reference". Pakdef.info. Archived from the original on 01 August 2009. Retrieved 1 August 2009. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |archivedate= (help).

The cite from which it was lifted has a copyright warning. Therefore, the lifted items were deleted from the article. Pknkly (talk) 04:21, 1 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Keep Khan's page a biography edit

Munir Ahmad Khan's page must be remain as biography. Do not use Wikipedia as source of enlightening the achievements and personal opinions. I have seen contributors are adding more and more information on how he developed the programme and credit him with their own words. This needs to be stop!

From History to Present edit

Munir Ahmad Khan's matter is same as J.R. Oppenheimer where dr. Oppenheimer was the director of the Manhattan Project. Edward Teller took the credit of making the bomb, But, in reality, Stanislaw Ullam, a mathematician, was the one who developed the bomb and little contribution was made from Teller. No one remembers Ullam cause he was kept in secrecy. Teller went on to Media telling everyone that he is the father of the Hydro-Bomb design. Like Teller, Abdul Qadeer Khan also undermined Munir Ahmad Khan and PAEC. As, Teller made himself as Father of U.S. Atom Bomb Project, A.Q. Khan did the same. I strongly urged to upgrade his page based on neutral sites, sources and completely based on true facts. Please, no more information be added. We just need to know what his role was, education, and his personal role. That's it!

Errors in quotation edit

One of my grammar-correction rules was triggered by a phrase in the quote beginning "The genius of Pakistan...", so I went to look at the source. The cited page is rather different from the quote in the article; the source doesn't mention the 1940s or Germany anywhere. Is there a different published version of the speech somewhere? -- John of Reading (talk) 19:59, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
