Hi, I just added some more links, I'll add more details soon. I had removed articleissues before because it was ok with Toddst. I believe I've satisfied some of the issues - could you confirm - verifiable claim that he is the current Consul General of Pakistan in New York, enough sources of reference now, and a decent amount of articles now link to this as well. Leaving notability and Conflict of Interest. I was wondering if you could suggest ways I could achieve this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razih (talk • contribs) 21:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, first of all, are you Mohsin, or closely related to him? If so, you would appear to have a conflict of interest, and my advice would be to avoid editing this article altogether. The reasons we discourage editors from editing articles on subjects which they are intimately related to is that it frequently gives rise to other problems such as those this article is tagged for. As for the other specific issues that are tagged, they seem basically accurate at this time. Being the Consul General is a claim of notability, but it should be backed up with references to significant coverage in reliable sources -- it's not clear that any of the external links qualify (admittedly I only looked at them briefly). The orphan tag is definitely appropriate as no other article pages link to Mohsin Razi -- only user pages and spam reports. Jfire (talk) 22:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not Mohsin, I'm his Son - Haider. that is why i understand the COI, having said that, for the category Pakistani Diplomats, most have been done by relatives, or people with COI- I am currently trying to populate this Category. Being the Consul General, can be confirmed by going to the US Dept. of State and the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs site, can be verified. I also understand the Orphan tag now - thanks alot, i'll try and fix that. Would it be then ok for the Original Research, Verifiability and Notability tags to be removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razih (talk • contribs) 22:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for disclosing your relationship. My recommendation stands, but if you are determined to edit the article, I can give you a few specific points. Original research does seem to be a danger here. For example, is the fact that Mr. Razi speaks three languages verifiable in a reliable source (I don't see it on the Consulate Profile), or does that come from your knowledge as his son? If there is a source for that fact, it would be a good idea to provide it using a footnote. I'll add one as an example.

Alright, I'll untag the notability, since I feel that has been established, I'll try and get references for the language confirmation, and try and link articles to this one. Thanks alot. Razih (talk) 18:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
