[edit] A request to u

Due to the continous vandlism of User:Truth aspirant-- the article Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman has become a ‘business-propaganda-feature’ rather an ‘encyclopedic article.’ Just see history of the article [[Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman and Talk:Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman page--You are requested to take intrest in this serious editorial issue and make things straight in this global phenomena (Wikipedia). Thanx. Wiki4u IIII

[edit] General advice

copied to Truth Aspirant

Thanks for your note. I'm not sure if this will help, but here are some general comments on the situation. There seem to be two issues of dispute here, both with a grain of truth.

1) I agree with Wiki4u that the current article has a promotional tone - much of its content repeats descriptions from the Jang Group website. I think it does need work to make it more neutral.

2) I think Truth Aspirant is correct in objecting to the critical material posted by Wiki4u. Personally I have no way to tell if its true or not. But from a Wikipedia viewpoint it's fair to question it purely because it's presented with no evidence.

The usual advice for getting out of this kind of situation is that everyone agrees to stick by Wikipedia guidelines: in this case, show civility, and cite sources. This war of insults will rapidly get both of you blocked - that's not a threat, just an observation (I'm not an admin). Guidelines are very specific about no personal attacks and Wikipedia:no legal threats.

I can't help much more: Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman is not well documented in Western media, and this really needs handling by editors with knowledge of Urdu news sources. Tearlach 12:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
