- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages

If you edit without an account, your IP address (67.82.18.216) is used to identify you instead.
We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested.

Happy editing! — Keithbob • Talk • 22:13, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Parry Aftab
editThanks for your contributions to the Parry Aftab article. Unfortunately I've had to undo a lot of your changes as they were not in accordance with WP guidelines and policies. Before making further changes, please read WP:BLP, the guidelines for WP:Secondary sources. Also it's not appropriate to use bare URLs as citations. Lastly, Wikipedia's style is to summarize notable content (ie significant media coverage) in reliable sources in a disinterested tone. Therefore editorial and promotional sounding sentences like "She is a regular on many TV and news shows" and "Most US and international newspapers and major magazines have featured her" are not permitted, per WP:NPOV. Please contact me on my talk page if you need help. If you disagree with something in the Aftab article feel free to start a conversation the AFtab talk page here. I look forward to working together. Cheers!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 22:20, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
A few other points:
- Per WP:Surname we don't use titles like Ms. etc. We also refer to bio subjects by the last name. The first name is only mentioned one time and that is in the very first sentence of the article. Thanks-- — Keithbob • Talk • 22:30, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
- Wikipedia bios contain the significant, notable highlights of a person's career. Therefore a one sentence mention, especially in a press release or primary source like a government website, generally are not considered notable and/or worthy of inclusion in a WP biography. So please be careful with that. WP bios are not resumes.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 22:34, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
- A letter to the editor is not considered a reliable source on WP. Please read WP:RS. Thanks!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 22:38, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with Keithbob that your edits don't appear to be very neutral here. Drmies (talk) 18:21, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

editPlease stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Parry Aftab, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 04:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
