Talk:Lamia Al-Gailani Werr

Lamia al-Gailani
a wonderful article you have written, keep up the good work. But, it seems that you have wiped out my article instead of merging it with yours (which was made after mine). Not everything on the net is correct; I had interviewed her personally on January 16, 2019. For example, she is not a graduate of the University of Baghdad.

 * I tried to merge every verifiable piece of information that wasn't already in this article, but a lot of the details in your article weren't in the cited sources. Unfortunately, we can't use a personal interview as a source (unless you publish it elsewhere so we can cite it). Several sources say she went to the University of Baghdad so we are kind of stuck with that. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Her post-nominals were veritable and can be seen on the SOAS's website, for instance; and there is much other veritable information you have not included. I don't know why the biography of this very reputable and famous person is still controversial? The Arabic page was (and is still) full of wrong and misleading information (anyone can review the edit history). Many articles on the net, which were published online after her death, were dependent on the Arabic page and on the copy/paste policy from other sources. For me, it is very painful to see the life history and biography of a dedicated historian is very much distorted, very painful indeed. I have received some messages after this "merge" today, strongly and very sharply criticizing my credibility (they thought yours is the only correct one), in spite of me being the first person to make a credible and trustworthy webpage about her (in the presence of 100s of Iraqi scholars, bloggers, and historians; I'm a neurologist). I was supposed to make a Wiki page about Dr. Bahija Khalil Ismail (Arabic: بهيجه خليل اسماعيل) (may rest in peace, who died just a few days before Dr. Lamia al-Gailani, also in Jordan), former director if Iraqi Museum, but I will not do it; I invite people to make it.

 * We don't put academic degree post-nominals in the lead, just as a matter of style. See MOS:POSTNOM.
 * I apologise for the mix up with the two articles. I tried to merge as much as I could but if I missed something (and it's verifiable), please do feel free to copy it over. It wasn't my intention to undermine your credibility or repeat misinformation, but as Wikipedia editors, we can only summarise what is published in reliable sources. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 11:56, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
