Talk:Maya Ali/B Class Discussion

The following notes are offered to help improve the article to B-Class. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:50, 16 February 2024 (UTC)


 * "a Lux Style Award out of three nominations" - this is awkward; presumably, this means three nominations and one win. However, per WP:LEAD, the lead section of an article is intended to be a **summary**; this is excessive detail - and, worse, the section contains further details about Lux awards.


 * "Ali completed her master's degree in mass communication" - this lacks a date, and also leaves open the obvious question - what was her bachelor's degree in (and when?). [At least in the U.S., where I'm at, one does not get an MA without having a BA, except in very, very unusual circumstances.]


 * The "Early life" section should be chronological - it's not. (I assume she was a video jockey **before** getting her Masters, for example.)


 * "under the direction of Haissam Hussain" - this does not follow WP:MOS - specifically, only the last name of the director should be in the text.


 * "in the social drama series," - the comma should be removed


 * Who is Zahra Mirza? A critic?


 * "The drama emerged the highest rated" - there is no need to use "emerged"; "was" is a better choice.


 * The first time a notable person is mentioned, the person's name should be wikilinked. After that, it should NOT. I haven't looked through the article for violations of this rule (again, per WP:MOS, but I found this fairly early in the article: "Ahsan Khan" is wikilinked, then not wikilinked, then wikilinked again [wrong],


 * "some criticism towards her performance" - "towards" should be "about" or "regarding" or "for"


 * "Polish born" should be "Polish-born"


 * "Ali consecutively starred in her second film" - "consecutively" makes little sense. This should be something like "Ali's next film was also directed by Asim Raza", but that's problematical because you don't mention that, in describing Teefa in Trouble, who directed it (Raza). I suggest that you add Asim Raza's info in the paragraph about the Teefa in Trouble, and then say "Ali's next film was also directed by Raza" [note omission of first name]


 * "with the romantic comedy," - comma should not be there


 * "Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo which is" - should be a comma after "Lo"
