[edit] Prominent Parsis

Welcome to Wikipedia.

Please follow the pattern employed in the section on Prominent Parsis when adding to that list. Also, please keep the discription short. So, instead of the five lines on Jamsheed Marker, use a simple Jamsheed Marker - diplomat; UN Under-secretary General; ambassador to more countries than any other person in history. ie, what made him a person of note. The details would be in the article on him.

Similarly, * Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw - philanthropist; founder of the NED Engineering College (later NED University)the largest and oldest engineering institution in Karachi, Pakistan. should be reduced to Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw - philanthropist; founder of the NED Engineering College (later NED University). Where or how old NED College is, is not related to him. You could however rephrase it to say "founded the first engineering college in Karachi".

With respect to your desire to make the term Pakistan more prominent on that page (eg your rewrite of the entry for Byram Dinshawji Avari). That is entirely unnecessary. The article is on Parsis (irrespective of national affiliation). Because it is so obvious, it also looks bad.

Note that there are instances when such a distinction are necessary, for instance, Sohrab Kavasji Hormuzdyar Katrak ... awarded Pakistan's Sitara-e-Khidmat civilian award of distinction.. I hope you see that in this case the distinction is essential, but in (Pakistani) businessman it is not.

Be also aware that you (or rather the editor you are using) are dropping whitespace following separation characters (brackets, hyphens, commas etc). For example, note the lack of a whitespace in 'Ned University)Karachi,Pakistan'

Please leave a note on Talk:Parsi if you wish to discuss this further. - Fullstop 11:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Howard Wong

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Howard Wong, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Howard Wong seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Howard Wong, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
