This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. Because of this, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Copyediting

Faizanalivarya asked me to explain my changes on the talk page. Most of it was general copyediting. The most significant changes were:

The article currently has no
refimprove
}} template to ask for better sources.
I removed sources which didn't even mention Patel, namely the broken link to the National Assembly member list, the Provincial Assembly of Sindh website and the video about Zardari.
I removed some navigation templates. This article is biographical, not part of the series on politics and government of Pakistan. Similarly, Wikimedia Commons resources on the PPP are off-topic for this article; they are unlikely to be about Patel.

Furthermore, I changed the wording a little, removed repetitive links to the same articles (except the first occurrence, of course), repaired broken sentences, added a missing comma and the like. This is supposed to improve readability without significantly changing the article's content. Huon (talk) 21:25, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unavailable source

I just tried to find the autobiography of Hussain Patel via Google Books, via the Library of Congress catalogue and via the National Library of Pakistan's catalogue: No relevant results. The information given is not enough to identify that book by conventional means: We don't have an ISBN, a publication date or a publisher. Unless we provide enough information to allow our readers to access the book, it's not really helpful as a reference. Huon (talk) 14:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You might be right but with all your due respect, as its bit old book it might does not have availability on internet, however the mentioned book is very known and popular book of its time, and can be easily assess at State Bank of Pakistan's Library, also aviable at Federal Urdu University Library and Karachi University main Library aswell. -- Faizan Munawar Varya^chat_{contributions} 12:44, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked the FUU's downloadable catologue and didn't find the book. The other two libraries you mention don't seem to have online catalogues. I didn't find it via WorldCat either. Since the book is cited for events in the late 80s and early 90s, it cannot be much older than 20 years. That's by far not too old for an ISBN. Huon (talk) 15:02, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RS and COI

@Faizanalivarya: As an experienced WP editor, there is an expectation for you to include RS as citations for BLPs, which seems to be lacking in your recent edits. Additionally, you have made significant contributions to this particular BLP. I trust there is no COI involved. However, if there is any potential COI, please disclose it. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 19:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COI

I have been editing

WP:COI

I keep my each article with very much keen consideration and keep my edits very clean instead of quantity I focus on quality of each article and make it better, readable, every single article I created is very important for us so there is no

WP:COI every article is equal for me. All citations are accurate you may add citation need [ ^{[citation needed}

] ] in front of the sentence where we can improve citations and we can improve together.

Lets join hands to improve

WP:Pakistan and I have seen your efforts which are very impressive. Lets keep it up and work like a team. Thanks Faizan Munawar Varya^chat_{contributions} 09:10, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
