Assalamu alaykum and hello. I love "new page reviewing". I also enjoy copy editing articles for clear expression and hopefully improved consistency. I have a wide range of interests, but seem mainly to edit articles related to my homeland Pakistan and to Islamic scholars and scholarship. I feel disappointed by entries that contain no references or that contain references which do not actually support the claims attributed to them (which is sadly common). I often delete blocks of unreferenced material. I also work hard to keep articles neutral, which is sometimes frustratingly difficult, especially when dealing with Islamic topics.
I used to frequently update Rotten Tomatoes ratings which were seriously out of date, but I haven't been able to find much time for this lately. I am also keen to reduce the excessive use of the honorifics / titles which clutter some pages (Sir, Lord, Hon., Dr, Rev, Hon, Sheikh, Maulana, Imam, Mufti, Sardar, Sayyid, Janab, Khawaja, Hajji, etc).
In good faith, I sometimes cut down long, unfocused and waffling articles, basing my edits on the wikipedia guidelines on including too much detail and on the wikipedia guideline on “being bold” while editing. I also sometime remove trivial information from pages. If I get it wrong in an article you’ve created or edited, or I revert you for what seems to be an invalid reason, please assume my good faith, contact me, and highlight your objection. To quote the Beatles, “we can work it out”.
