Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Maqam Ibrahim, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 08:48, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Shahab Nama. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia.  Idell (talk) 19:01, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Shahab Nama, you may be blocked from editing. Donner60 (talk) 03:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Shahab Nama. Idell (talk) 22:24, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

I did not vandalize the page.I represent the Shahab family and can confirm that the words 'Mushfiq Khawaja a close friend'are absolutely false. He is entitled to his opinion but cannot a special insight as a personal friend. Marybeth13 (talk) 19:19, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see any justification for 's characterisation of your editing as vandalism: you appear to be editing in perfectly good faith. However, there are a few things about how Wikipedia works that you need to be aware of.


 * We go on what reliable published sources say, not on what individual Wikipedia editors think. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, we get people who put all kinds of things into articles, including sincerely held but false beliefs; sincerely held but purely subjective opinions which are neither objectively true nor objectively false, and don't belong here; deliberate misrepresentations in order to promote or to denigrate the reputation of something or someone; deliberate vandalism; etc etc. Thus we cannot accept changes to articles purely on the basis that an Wikipedia editor says that something is true or untrue. The content you have removed is supported by published sources; if you have reason to believe that those sources are unreliable then you need to provide evidence that they are.
 * Since you say that you "represent" the family of the person you have edited about, you need to be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. You can read a more detailed explanation of this, and also an account of how you can request changes to articles where you may have a conflict of interest in the conflict of interest guideline.
 * Repeatedly changing the content of an article to the version you prefer in the face of changes by other editors, known as "edit-warring", is considered unhelpful. Instead, if you disagree with other editors, you should explain your reasons for disagreeing, and be willing to discuss the issues involved, with a view to trying to reach agreement. Editors who persist in edit-warring may be blocked from editing by administrators. A fuller account is in the policy on edit-warring. JBW (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
