The second paragraph states percentages of the Baloch that do not add up. It says about 50% live in Balochistan, which per the 2023 census (5,811,185) and the article's estimate of 15m total would come out shy of 40%. Then it says 40% are in Sindh, which per the census (1,208,147) would actually be about 8%. These percentages are repeated in the first paragraph of the "Baloch Communities" section.

Note: This seems to be due to aggregating diverse sources who each have their own percentage points.

Per WP:ER, it is best you clarify exactly what should be changed, with verbatim old and new text. This will improve the likelihood that your edit request gets accepted. Perhaps you can find a reliable source that has a more holistic analysis, or the paragraph can be rewritten for clarity.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. UtherSRG (talk) 15:19, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please move paragraph "Uppsala University offers a course titled Balochi A..." in 'Language' section to 'Baloch Communities - Diaspora - Europe'. In it's current spot it seems very out of place to me and nearly like promotional content, but given there is a large diaspora community in Sweden it makes more sense when included in that part of the article.

Done There was also some duplicate text in the destination. I massaged the move text into the existing. Please feel free to make another request if it needs adjustment. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:18, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Looks good to me, you did a fantastic job massaging it in. Thanks. Seanbhean-chríonna-caite (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
