I hope you bear with me as I figure out how to edit and stuff. I haven't figured out yet how to edit within a cited paragraph without attributing the information added as part of the cited source.

Please feel free to fix these glitches when I make these kind of mistakes, (and tell me how to avoid them).

Yes, I've spoken with Zaynab before - originally through eMail, though I saw her move to Wiki. It's fascinating, because it seems whenever I create an article, the subject of the article shows up on Wiki. It's happened with Mubin Shaikh, John Stockwell, Houston McCoy, Zaynab Khadr and a number of others. I'm going to try and clean up Qayyum's article if that's alright, in part it needs to be wikified, and some parts seem confusing to a casual reader where it might say "6 of the men were...", but doesn't say which 6 men. I welcome your input, and encourage collaboration to help paint an unbiased portrait of him. I'm not sure I understand what you mean about editing information into a cited paragraph, you want to change the information in the footnote/sourceDetail, or you want to change information inside <blockquote> tags?

I mean sometimes I add information into the middle of a paragraph that is cited as coming from a news article. My addition actually comes before the citation, but is not part of the original source. I don't know how to move the citation so that my addition isn't included as from the article cited, while still maintaining the flow of the subject being referred to. (am I making you dizzy? lol)
