A fact from Cotton production in Pakistan appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 December 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I have converted this article to British English (you too can do this using thisuser script).
The prose did not read very well originally. I have performed a few copyedits, please check them to see if I changed anything improperly.
Thanks. Your ccorection are in order.
Lead
Cotton production in Pakistan is the backbone of the nation's economy Looks like a controversial statement. Please add a strong ref to support this here.
Removed the word "backbone" and added additional text as suggested in your review here.
Cotton is grown as an industrial crop in 15% of the nation's land On which year's figures is the "15%" estimate based? You can add it in a footnote. (repeat in Growing regions, but no need for footnote)
Added year
(each bale=470 lbs) Add this in a footnote. (repeat in Production)
The term used in USDA reports is "bale of 470 lbs".
The ranks mentioned for Pakistan in terms of production may also be controversial, so you can add citations to support them in the lead. Bolding as it is still unresolved. Sainsf(talk·contribs)11:11, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added refs in the lead
Years for the ranks? (repeat in Production)
Added year
Now you need a convert template for the lbs.

History
At Harappa, evidence of cotton threads have been found tied to the handle of a mirror You mean this was subsequent to the first discovery, of threads on a copper bead? Should be clear.
Made clear with additional text and reference.
The last line belongs more to the next section.
Moved to the next section
as Malavaceae pollen type, similar to Gossypium in Balakot Not sure what this means. Also, remove"in" after "such as".
Malavaceae is linked. It is flowring plant. Other corrections done
seeds & fragments "and", not "&"
Done
and is unlikely to change during the 2015–16 season This season has passed, I understand. So where is the data for it?
Deleted the sentence
Cotton serves as the base for the nation's industrial sector Combine with the "backbone" part.
Done
Varieties
18 Bt cotton and non-Bt varieties Add the number for non-Bt varieties as well.
Added numbers to both
What is medium/long staple?
Clarified with an additional reference.
Merge this with the "backbone" part: The country's economic development is largely dependent on the cotton industry and its related textile sector, and this has given a principal status to cotton in the country.
Done
Can you divide this section into two paras, one dealing with intranational production figures and the second with Pakistan in the global agricultural sector?
Vanilla production in French Polynesia is an article in which I contributed nearly 50% of the text at the dyk stage. The section under "Background" gives the uses of Vanila. My view is that production is because of a product's use and is relevant to the article. USGS in their articles on production of minerals give a section on its uses. However, I have now merged it with the earlier section.
