Talk:Shabbir Ahmad Usmani

Editing Wikipedia articles

Wikipedia articles follow the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and its associated guides which have been developed by the Wikipedia community in order to make Wikipedia articles easier to read, higher quality and generally consistent in appearance.

I have reverted the edits of User: 99.240.111.186, which have not been in the Wikipedia style, for the following reasons:

1. Dates should no longer be linked in Wikipedia, unless there is a really good reason to do so. See WP:CONTEXT#Date
2. It is incorrect to link plain English words or to link the same thing over and over. These links, like date links, add clutter to articles without providing useful information. See WP:OVERLINK.
3. Links should not be made to articles that do not exist yet unless you plan to write an article for those subjects really soon. Books published in a foreign language are a good example of subjects about which there is likely never going to be a Wikipedia article (unless you write one yourself). These “dead links” appear in red, and make the article more difficult to read.
4. Headings must follow “sentence case”, and not “Title Case”. In sentence case, only the first word and proper nouns (like the names of people, places and organizations) should be capitalized. Don’t capitalize all the words as you would in Title Case. See WP:MOSHEAD.
5. External sources (i.e., not other Wikipedia articles) should be provided for any information that is added. See Wikipedia:Verifiability.
6. Articles should be written in a neutral tone. See WP:NPOV. Just report the facts, and let readers draw their own conclusions. We do not have to tell the reader that the subject of the article was a good person or a great scholar. If the person’s actions and words show this, then the reader will draw that conclusion for her or himself.

I will continue to revert changes that violate the Wikipedia Manual of Style or other policies, and will protect the article to prevent these changes if necessary. Ground Zero | t 14:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

FLAG:

There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE of the claim that Usmani was asked to hoist the Pakistan flag. When? Where? How? 182.185.223.67 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 03:58, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Created/expanded by Ainty Painty (talk). Self-nominated at 03:16, 14 August 2021 (UTC).

• – @Ainty Painty – The article in long enough (4999 characters), but is not new enough. It was created in 2006, and has not been 5x expanded in last 7 days. Assuming if article is at 5x now, expansion began 228 edits ago on March 16, 2008; hence, it doesn't meets the criteria. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 06:20, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

• Unfortunately I agree with Kavyansh.Singh. It doesn't look like any major expansions or edits have been made in the past 2 years. It would require really major edits for this to be eligible. BuySomeApples (talk) 22:06, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
