How on earth can we have an un-sourced article on the founder of the PPP? The whole article is outlandish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulfikar_Ali_Bhutto a complete re-write of history, anybody with any knowledge on Pakistan help me correct it?

I can see 32 references on that page. In what way is it "un-sourced"?

No Thomas, there are problems with (a) the East Pakistan/West Pakistan war (Bhhutto was a memeber of government and never appeared on TV - it was the government leader who told of West Pakistan's capitulation)

I made no comment as to the accuracy of the article, only your claim that it is un-sourced. There are numerous sources in that article. The sources may be incorrect or the article may be misinterpreting the sources, but the sources are there.
The larger point is that this isn't the ideal forum for finding editorial assistance. I'm surprised no one has yet responded with WP:SOFIXIThttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOFIXIT. At a glance, the page looks OK, if not great. Perhaps there are indeed serious problems with it, but being "un-sourced" as you first wrote does not seem to be the key problem. So fix it! You seem to have the interest and knowledge. That plus a little initiative is (often) all that separates a bad article from a good one.
