Life and career
Hi!

I want to say that this section of the article needs to be seriously improved. Main reason is "Time Management in article". Other reasons are mentioned below.

2003–2009: Early life and success
Zafar started career as an sketch artist and then began acting in TV serials, before this it was his "Early Life". He debuted in music in 2003, and released his music albums in 2003, 2006, 2011, with several music-video-singles. The images used in this section are from the events for his 2010 movie Tere Bin Laden.

I don't understand why the heading says "2003–2009", because the content in it is from his birth (1980) till release of his third album.

2010–present: Acting career, Bollywood and Coke Studio
Same here, Zafar started his acting career from TV serial in 1999. He was also offered a role for 2007 Pakistani film Khuda Kay Liye. He re-joined Coke Studio in 2015, after performing in 2008 and 2009. He appeared in several Bollywood movies (2010–present). He has recently signed for a Pakistani film. Also there is some information about his music, that maybe I had added. The image used in this section is from the event of his 2013 movie Chashme Baddoor, which is placed in the beginning of this section, above the information of 1999.

Then why this heading says "2010–", "Acting career (only)", "Bollywood (only)" and/or "Coke Studio"?

Tours and performances
Previously "Tours" only, I've changed the heading into current style. Now added here more information about some of his stage performances, mostly in Lux Style Awards. But I don't understand why there is "Tours" written.

Hope you understand what I am saying and try to improve the "Time Management" in the article. And sorry for my weak English. Thanks! M.Billoo2000 (talk) 06:37, 26 October 2016 (UTC)


 * In reply to the message you sent me regarding this article, I'm afraid I would not be much help. I know nothing about the topic, and any edits I have made to the article were just to correct manual of style errors, or remove vandalism. I have not made any edits to article content.

Discography
Hi!

It is my request to please seperate this section into a new wiki-article, titled "Ali Zafar Discography", and please update his chronology.

Albums
Actually there is no article for two albums of him; Huqa Pani and Masty. I think the both albums should also have an article, like his third album Jhoom.

Film soundtrack
Also I want to say that there are two Bollywood-film soundtrack albums of him; London, Paris, New York and Total Siyapaa. I request to also add them as his chronology.

Coke Studio (Pakistan)
I don't think this section needs much update now, but I have added official Youtube links of his songs. Is this allowed or not?

Single(s)
There are many singles from his albums that were also released as music videos. Should they be added here or not?

TV commercials
He also has sung for several TVCs, but I think I didn't remember much. I am still searching, and as soon as I find one, I will add. If anyone also finds it, then please add here.

Infobox
Hi!

Why "Infobox:Musical Artist" is not turning the whole or partial infobox into yellow color, as there is written "solo_singer"? And how could it be turned into yellow?

I have tried to do it by replacing "embed=yes" with "name = Musical career", and this was looking good in my mobile device, but may be bad-looking on desktop view, so I undid it.

How could it be better? Please reply. Thanks! M. Billoo (talk • contribs) 12:18, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Discography
Hi! I am messaging here to explain my recent edits on Ali Zafar discography; Special:Diff/794186957 and Special:Diff/794192969. Earlier, YouTube references were removed out, which I re-added after some conversation on my talk page. Another problem was that the references citation templates were missing, which I added now. Also, there was tagged "This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling." So I tried to change some English in the table. I also removed London, Paris, New York and Total Siyapaa from film soundtracks because of Zafar's soundtrack albums, all the details should go on either film articles or separate soundtrack album articles; not should be repeated here.
