Syed Taj

Hah, you're welcome, I guess it was time! I did it because I saw someone on his facebook page asking for one to be created. Fairly similar, not sure why yours was denied for notability, perhaps bias? (although the opponent's page has a bias notice on it)

I thought about saying some of the things you added, but put them on the talk page for Syed Taj instead, asking that someone else review and put something in, because I was afraid I was getting too biased. Glad to see that someone else touched it right away, a couple people actually, very helpful! I probably will not do much more to it, my time for wiki editing comes in spurts once every few years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chadnibal (talkcontribs) 03:38, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

You might consider taking Roberts out of either the intro or the early life and career section... actually, what would probably be best is a section on the 2012 election. Look at McCotter for an example. When I started to write political stuff (see that talk page) I didn't consider Roberts important enough to look up his first name, much less mention him twice. Equally well, I'm not sure if Bentivolio should be mentioned or not... there's an opponent tag available in the infobox, but if it should go, it should go in both candidates.

Do try to be very unbiased.

The other thing I wanted to do, but maybe you could, is put links into wiki pages where Taj is mentioned but there was nothing to link to. There are pretty many. (notability!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chadnibal (talkcontribs) 03:58, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
