Frequently asked questions

To view an explanation to the answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question.

Q1: Why doesn't the article describe the territory as "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir"?

A1: For the same reasons that Jammu and Kashmir isn't described as "Indian-occupied Kashmir". Wikipedia follows usage in reliable sources and adheres to a neutral point of view.

Q2: How about "Pakistani-administered Kashmir"?

A2: Pakistani-administered Kashmir is normally used as a cover term for Azad Kashmir + Gilgit-Baltistan.

Q3: But is "Azad Kashmir" a neutral name?

A3: It's up to the article to describe that in detail. Regardless, an article's title should use the most common name, and that doesn't have to be neutral.

Flag[edit]

The flag and coat of arms really should be added into infoboxes. Even if it is disputed, it doesn't change the fact that azad kashmir HAS a flag. Eehuiio (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
