Talk:Hamid Mir

message: 90% of the statements in this article are undreferenced.He is a very honest & truth full person.This MUST be fixed. According to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons:There are confusing claims in this article.There is no credible evidence that he was born in Lahore.Some reports claim he was born in Sialkot.There is no evidence that his birth name is Hamid Mehmood.Some analysts say he is pro Taliban other say he is US agent.Please remove all this confusion with credible information.
We must get the article right.[1] Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.[2] 
If you add material to this article is must be referenced. Especially Negative or positive comments. If you could start with the material statements I've already tagged this would be a good start. Seriously some editors would take one look at this article and blow the whole thing away.- SimonLyall (talk) 10:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Part of the "neutral point of view" of wikipedia is to ensure that positive and negative aspects of the person are in the article ( simplifying a little). However statements must be referenced to reliable to authoritative sources. - 10:30, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unreferenced Material 

message: Yes i agree that Hamid Mir is controversial but its an open secret in Pakistan that Mr.Zaid Hamid have started a compaign against him and may be he is trying to prove him a double agent through wikipedia.You must be careful about the material included about him by Zaid Hamid.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.2.170.118 (talk) 13:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biased Material 

message: People are trying to adjust cross comments here. This page is about Hamid Mir, so it should be just about Hamid Mir. No need to put paragraphs about the other personalities. On one location there is a comment about Hamid Mir, made by Zaid Hamid. I have put the link of Zaid Hamid there, if someone wants to know who Zaid Hamid is. There is absolutely no need to put a paragraph about Zaid Hamid, after his comments.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NewsForAll (talk • contribs) 11:59, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I guess the most obvious explanation would be that the programme was broadcast at 17:00 PST while the edit was made at 14:38 UTC ( about 2.5 hours later) . - SimonLyall (talk) 19:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Can you please sign your posts. The 1700 time was posted by you in this edit. Anyway we can't prove the post was Mir or somebody connected with the programme - SimonLyall (talk) 08:15, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem of Unnecessary Comments 

message: This article is a complete mess and about three times as long as it needs to be.  I have the impression people have been cramming in statements from various points of view, trying to make sure all views are represented.  This is not what Wikipedia is for.  The article should be a reasonably concise summary of the facts of his life and career, not a laundry list of interviews, "controversies," threats, etc.  Someone with the necessary time and knowledge should do a rewrite (and then it should probably be at least partially protected).

replies: text: I've just gone through an chopped out a lot of the extra stuff. Probably more could be removed - SimonLyall (talk) 08:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is hardly neutral. The edits clearly show editors' bias for Mir's work. Adjectives like "famous" and "Zardari-led" are surely not objective. I'm new on here but IMHO this page's POV should be made more unbiased. Leo Pacificus (talk) 18:30, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I have edited this section and added ISPR and ISI statement about attack. Without any proper reason donot edit this section--Ali.wali.4550 (talk) 05:53, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have given proper reasoning in the edit summary. Come here when you have read WP:NOTNEWS. -- SMS Talk 06:01, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Since all major news papers reported the allegations against the ISI, it should be included. To preserve the NPOV, i have made sure to highlight that it is only an allegation made by Mir's supporters and not what actually happened. not including the allegation will introduce a pro isi bias to the article as the other side of the story is being silenced. both sides of the story must be presented without bias so that the reader may draw an informed conclusion of the events. Also why is the previous bombing attempt of 2012 being removed? to the guy that keeps reverting my edits, maybe you should edit the text to better present a neutral point of view than retardly reverting all my edits.Pvpoodle (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

The patriot Pakistanis hate the most him in view of his love last for anti-Pakistan elements. 
His wealth has swollen during last ten years. He is among the notorious black-mailers. 
Social media is an evidence indicating the levels of hate of common people of Pakistan, whose calls are not aired by live shows.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.154.207.244 (talk) 01:55, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi, the article links to the wrong Taliban. Mir is suspected of being in cahoots with the TTP (Pakistan Taliban).
