In the early life section, please remove the part where it says his great grandfather migrated from Piranshahr as there is no source backing this up and the source given does not mention this. 2600:100C:A21B:9ED1:482E:A9D4:615A:7D8F (talk) 08:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now I see the "failed verification" template was added to this claim by another user. I think that is sufficient action for now, let's see if someone has a better source. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 22:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 20:52, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He was a British subject, not a British citizen, before 1947. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:53, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Do you have a reliable source for this? Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 21:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's what the article already states. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:04, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DTSheikh wants to keep the long lead[edit]

So @DTSheikh you haven't explained why you wanted your changes to be kept. For my reason, the lead is already too long and as per MOS:LEADLENGTH, it explains that even for the longest of articles, it should be kept at 4 paragraphs at max. I didnt even completely remove what you wrote but merged it to keep it short. Not everything is needed in the lead. Insert it in the body if you really really want it. What is your defense?

It will be good if anyone else can join and tell which version is better. If there are no good reason, then I will revert. And remember, editors cannot repeatedly revert, see WP:EDITWAR, or any one person can put up the offender's name to the admin, whereby the offending editor will be blocked from Wikipedia.
