[edit] On Parviz Natel-Khanlari

Dear Hariva, I have no doubt that Mr Karim Tamanna is an important person. My point was that this is not a justification for turning the biography of Parviz Natel-Khanlari into a photo gallery of all important people who may have appeared on the same photograph as Parviz Natel-Khanlari (what insight an English-speaking reader of the entry, who knows neither of the two individuals, would gain by seeing that second photograph?). Please kindly re-read my short message: nowhere have I said, or implied, that either Mr Karim Tamanna was not a significant individual or that you did not know what Wikipedia was about; on the contrary, in my message I indicated that you should consider to create a separate page for Mr Karim Tamanna. In other words, I had no intention to be critical of you; my only point was, and still is, that the biography of one individual should not be viewed as a vehicle to promote another individual, no matter how significant the latter individual may be; in this light, I would have reacted exactly in the same way as I have done if Mr Karim Tamanna had an En.Wikipedia entry of his own and someone had inserted a similar unrelated photograph in it. May I therefore repeat my earlier recommendation, that you kindly create a separate entry for Mr Karim Tamanna? My heartfelt apologies if my earlier comment has come over to you as offensive; by no means was that comment intended to be offensive. With kind regards, --BF 09:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
p.s.) The appropriate way to draw the attention of readers to the biographical entry of another individual is to cite the latter individual in the section "See also". --BF 09:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
