Hello, I'm Donner60. An edit you recently made to International Islamic Propagation Center seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

[edit]Thanks for your message but you either have the wrong person or are confused. I wasn't editing wikipedia in 2009, and I'm not an administrator so could not have deleted or restricted a page. Also, when you leave someone a message like you did on my talk page, please "sign" it by adding four tildes (this symbol~) after your message. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 23:59, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- I think it is appropriate to mention Muhammad Shaikh in the International Islamic Propagation Center article since the web site shows he is associated with it. However, the article is about the Centre, not Muhammad Shaikh. So a long entry which is in effect his biography is not appropriate in that article. As near as I can tell, the Centre web site does not identify him except as already noted in the article. If he is notable in his own right, then you can create an article about him. However, it must have reliable, verifiable, third-party neutral sources. Unsourced biographies of living persons are subject to removal. The only way to insure these biographies are accurate is to have such sources. Here are some Wikipedia guideline and policy pages which can help you understand how to write an article and what it must, or must not, contain or optionally can contain.
- See Wikipedia:Your first article, Help:Getting started, Introduction to Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset, Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles, Wikipedia:Five Pillars, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Help:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Notability ("Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article."), Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch, and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.
- I hope this helps you to determine whether an article about Muhammad Shaikh can be written according to Wikipedia standards, and if so, help you to write such an article. Donner60 (talk) 02:32, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
