Dear Diannaa

Thank you ever so much for your message and guidence. I am ediitng after a very long time and it will help me to improve my work. As you can see from my profile I am a professional working journalist and have 15 plus years workin in the field specially aviation in Pakistan.

I have lived in Gilgit and also worked at the airport for mul;tiple stories so I have known a lot of this information first hand. But the information I shared was part of the British Library's material that is shared for public on their website.

https://blogs.bl.uk/untoldlives/2017/03/flying-over-the-himalayas-raf-flight-to-gilgit-in-november-1934.html

I think I didn't do a good job in referencing or citing. So is it possible for you to send me the article that I wrote or restore it in draft form so that I can paraphrase it and reference it.

Also I am interested in creating new pages for women from Pakistan who are not represnted on wikipedia at the moment as they should be. So would it be ok for me to message you for help and guidence?

Kind regards
