Greetings fellow Wikipedian’s and Mrusak,

I look forward to the expanse of this article, in the meantime, I would like to give some suggestions for improvement. First off, the language that you have started the article with is reminiscent of essay style writing and could benefit from more objective, factual wording. It would be more encyclopedic if you worded your writing differently, for example, the first sentence could say “Gohar Dashti was born immediately after the Iranian Revolution had ended and the Iran-Iraq war had just begun”. Likewise, the rest of the article could also be slightly more factually written. I would suggest adding headers that are followed by information that is important to Dashti’s career, artwork maybe personal life, and achievements. With more research, I’m sure you will be able to add more references which will also give you more facts to incorporate into the article. It is also helpful to add internal links to other Wikipedia sites when it comes to specific terms that are important to the article or are not generally known. In addition, the transition from the second to the third sentence is a bit distracting as the topic changes completely from Dashti's harsh upbringing to her career life. Finally, like it says on Dashti’s talk page, the article is almost completely uncited, so adding references will improve it greatly. Marissajd1212 (talk) 16:11, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
