[edit] WP:BIO

There have recently been some reverts about the addition of information about Shahroudi being the guy to finally place a moratorium on stoning, during which WP:BIO has been invoked. Certainly if you google Shahroudi, the vast majority of the English-language hits will relate to his institution of the moratorium. I don't understand how this (adequately cited) information in any way violates WP:BIO, although I welcome a debate on the subject. Ford MF 09:40, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that last edit. I had meant to delete the contentious info while retaining the salient info of why anyone in the west might have read about him before. No harm meant. Ford MF 09:56, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
