Please note that I reverted your edit on the article Lorna Selim. The reasons for the reversion were many and included:

 * 1. Factual errors - the added content claimed that she "She now lives and works in Abergavenny, Wales" but as the article clearly states, she died in 2012 so obviously cannot have lived or worked in Wales since that time. (NB: The main article uses the past tense)
 * 2. Lead section format - the purpose of a lead section is to establish the notability of the subject and provide a brief overview, rather than to write another entire biography of the person - which would lead to excessive repetition. Minor details such as the year of marriage etc and dates of employment arguably belong in the main section of the article rather than in the lead section. For all that the added material repeated much of the content in the main body, it failed to discuss the main reasons for the artist's notability, namely her involvement in the Nasb al-Huriyya monument after her husband's death, and her role as a teacher of architectural drawing in which she turned students of architecture onto Iraqi vernacular architecture
 * 3. Lack of integration with existing material- the added material made no effort to integrate with existing material - such that mention of her husband is made in three separate paragraphs in the lead section (once in the original material and twice in the content added by yourself in this recent edit)
 * 4. Cut and paste - the content added appears to be a direct "cut and paste" taken from the Facebook channel "The Young Mesopotamians" See here: and as such cannot be added without copyright clearance and an appropriate acknowledgement. To avoid copyright violations, material that is "borrowed" from published sources, inclduing online sources, must be written in your own words - and this generally means that 80% of the words in the original need to be changed. See WP:PARAPHRASE for details. Note that Wikipedia cannot accept content that is a direct cut and paste, and it will always be reverted.
