Regarding your undo of my edit on the above-mentioned page.

A gentle reminder that whenever you undo any edit, it is a basic Wikipedia norm to tell what led you to do that. It is even better if you can leave something on the user's talk page. Simply saying that "these kinds of edits make things worse" is an insufficient reason for undoing any edit. It implies that you didn't see or read my edit and undid it, just because of the edit summary; I hope that is not the case. It may be the case that most such edits are bad but it is kind of necessary that you first see the edit and then, take any decision. I have undone your undone :) of my edit. Feel free to discuss this. Viewing your talk page shows that this is a big problem of yours. Please try to amend it. FlyingNinja1 (talk) 05:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IFNEC edit reverted

Hi. I did not understand why you reverted my edit updating the composition of IFNEC. The title of the article is IFNEC (not GNEP) and the paragraph in discussion reads: "In 2010, the GNEP was renamed the International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation. IFNEC is now an international partnership ..." The key word here is "now". This paragraph is an IFNEC paragraph and GNEP is simply in the past.

Could you please reread the entire paragraph with my edit and explain what you find incorrect? Were the article named GNEP, your edit summary would make more sense to me, but as it currently stands IFNEC is not being correctly described in wikipedia. Erkcan (talk) 06:17, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Turkey" vs. "Türkiye"

in spite of the Erdoğan government's proclamation and the United Nations' adoption of their preferred name, the English-language WP:COMMONNAME of this country remains "Turkey", and it is Wikipedia policy to use that name.

Please note that this is not because of anti-Turkish bias or a desire not to keep up with the times; it's that English Wikipedia follows English language usage, not prescriptions by any one group, no matter how official. Please be assured that if mainstream English language use changes (as it did, for example, with "Bombay" changing to Mumbai and "Peking" changing to Beijing), English Wikipedia policy will follow that change, for exactly the same reason that it resists the change now. The WP:COMMONNAME and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) pages have more information on this.

If you would like to dispute this, please take this up at Talk:Turkey, where the issue has been discussed repeatedly and at great length. Please don't make any similar changes to other articles unless this is first endorsed by community consensus. — The Anome (talk) 19:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Revision of Pakistan and nuclear weapons

This article should have written something like this:

Pakistan
Location of Pakistan
Nuclear program start date20 January 1972
First nuclear weapon test28 May 1998 (Chagai-I)[1]
First thermonuclear weapon test28 May 1998 (Chagai-I)[2]
Last nuclear test30 May 1998 (Chagai-II)
Largest yield test40 kt in 1998
(PAEC claim)[3][4][5][2]
Total tests6 detonations[1]
Peak stockpile165 warheads (2021 estimate)[6]
Current stockpile165 warheads (2021 estimate)[6]
Maximum missile range2750 km (Shaheen-III)[7]
NPT partyNo

Pakistan is one of nine states that possess nuclear weapons. The official numbers of nuclear arsenals are subjected to secrecy but estimated by the arms control think tanks measures that Pakistan has 165 nuclear devices.[6] Pakistan has signed and ratified the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) in 1972 and the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1997. Deflecting the international pressure, Pakistan has neither signed the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) nor the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has blocked the negotiation of the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty (FMCT), considering all as discriminatory and against its national security interests.: 86:94 [8]

Development on the nuclear weapons begin in secrecy under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's administration, which delegated the program to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) in January 1972.[9][10][11][12] Motivated by the off-set fears driven by the India's invasion in 1971,[13] and to maintain the regional balance of power, Pakistan has conducted the nuclear weapons testing in a series namely, Chagai-I and Chagai-II, at its nuclear test site in a response to India's tests in 1998.[14],

Officially, Pakistan has maintained a "first-use" nuclear weapons policy and, over the years, it has been developing its capability as a nuclear triad as a part of its version of "Full Spectrum Deterrence" that addresses its deterrence strategy in a lieu of conflict with other opposing actors.[15][16]

If you agree to this version, we can go and publish it. It addresses all WMDs not just nuclear weapons, policies and rationals.

There are number of different ways that the yields can be determined, including calculations based on blast size, blast brightness, seismographic data, and the strength of the shock wave. The Pakistan Government authorities puts up the yield range from 20-~40kt (as noted by Carey Sublette of the Nuclear Weapon Archives in her report.
