Wikipedia requires citations to reliable and authoritative third-party sources. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE, regarding verifiability and HERE, regarding the need to maintain a neutral point of view.

Further advice
Today you added a gratuitous amount of information to the Mohamed Zakariya page. It was voluminous. I removed that disproportionate information not only only because it was very poorly cited, but also because there was simply far too much detail. A short, tight article on this man may be appropriate, but it won’t contain even a quarter of the information you added. It wouldn’t be right, for example, to list every exhibition or commission. Only add what is notable. Hope this helps. George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 15:19, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Ps, you had added: “A man of varied interests, his work and studies took him to Morocco, Europe, and England, where he studied Islamic manuscripts at the British Museum. At the same time, he was performing slapstick comedy with the zany British group Bruce Lacy and the Alberts, a precursor of Monty Python. His interest in music, which involved making musical instruments, was profoundly affected by his many long stays in London.” These sorts of comments are not neutral in tone, not directly relevant, and indeed are trivial. Please avoid this sort of information. Thanks. George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 15:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
