Hello, I'm Girth Summit. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Javed Miandad seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Recent edit to Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad

Hello. I noticed that you made an edit that introduces praise or promotional language to the Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad article. On Wikipedia, we adhere to a neutral point of view (NPOV) and avoid promotional language or puffery. Please read the NPOV policy page, as well as this page of language to avoid to better understand how to expand this article in a style suitable to an encyclopedia. If you have questions, please see the Help Desk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 23:04, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Further issues

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Breaking sticks (talk) 23:20, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mohammad Asif. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Breaking sticks (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2019 (UTC) I only wrote 'known for unerring accuracy,' which is an established and renowned fact for Mohammad Asif as a fast bowler, like it is for McGrath, Pollock, or Philander.

• You seem to have some difficulty in understanding what people have tried to explain to you. Even after three different editors have given you three different messages explaining the need for a neutral point of view, you have created Draft:Asif Zaidi, which is full of praise for him, and clearly written to persuade readers that his ideas are good ones. Editors who continue to edit in ways that don't conform to Wikipedia policies and guidelines after those policies and guidelines have been explained to them are likely sooner or later to be blocked from editing. You evidently have high opinions of some people you have written about, but you must not use Wikipedia to express those opinions. Breaking sticks (talk) 23:26, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. I have now read some policy documents and understand better. Will read more to ensure that any contributions I make comply with the policy. The intent is to do some voluntary work, but the style and expression were misplaced. I note to be objective, factual, and unenthused, going forward.
