Talk:Murad Qureshi

message: somebody needs to input qureshi's work in the london assembly. this is relevant for inclusion first and foremost. seems to be an absence - in contrast with obscure and insubstantiated additions attempted to do with his Dad's activities or tenuous connections with 'awami'. who cares. get with the wiki programme Quickerthan 23:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  info on london policy interests and decisions 

message: Will contributors please stop deleting my corrections to this entry. Some of the amendments made are just ridiculous. For example we have entries reading: "Murad Qureshi ... is a British Labour Party politician, and is the member of the Greater London Assembly for Westminster, the city's governing body, and being the only Muslim elected official on the London assembly."
Not only does this make no grammatical sense but there is no such thing as the "Greater London Assembly". Murad is a member of the London Assembly and he was elected on the London-wide list. There is no GLA constituency named "Westminster". 
We have people claiming that Murad was born in Sylhet, others that he was born in London. He was in fact born in Manchester. You can email him at City Hall and ask him if you want.
All the information I have provided for this entry has been checked with Murad himself. My aim has been to provide an accurate and objective summary of his life and political work. So please, stop posting a lot of ignorant crap and messing up this entry. It's the sort of nonsense that brings Wikipedia into disrepute.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.200.138 (talk) 20:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your contributions, I have added sections to the article, and have added: his parents are originally from Sylhet, Bangladesh - backed with 3 references. Bangali71 (talk) 12:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Im sorry but these are based on sources/references as cited with 3 please view them, the second of which it states he is orignally from Sylhet, you're information cannot be verified because you have only emailed to this person, are you even sure it is Qureshi himself? the information should be based on references. Bangali71 (talk) 13:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

text: For now I will remove 'from Sylhet', but clearly it is known from the references they are from Bangladesh. Bangali71 (talk) 13:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

text: What do you mean all over again? there is no much difference to the revisions, I have added back information of him following Bangladeshi politics, and the City Hall meetings, please do not go there because it will constitute as vandalism. Bangali71 (talk) 13:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Im sorry but if you have the ability to read, you would see that it does not say he was 'born in Sylhet' but 'originally from Sylhet', a person can still be originally be from Sylhet even if he or she was born in another part of the world! for example I was born in London, but I am originally from Sylhet, it does not necessary mean I was born in Sylhet, but my origins are in Sylhet!! Bangali71 (talk) 11:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Go and look at a dictionary and see what originally means, and I doubt Murad will actually reply back regarding to these types of informations. This is in fact not a mistake and I believe you are an anti-Sylheti by reviewing your edits, you are trying to remove information that this guy is not from Sylhet, when in fact he is, just because he was born in Manchester does that mean hes not a Bangladeshi or a Sylheti? Your statements clearly do not make sense, the source is trying to indicate that he is of Bangladeshi descent as it states he is originally from Sylhet. Please do not revert informations which are referenced, or you will be blocked from editing. Bangali71 (talk) 15:20, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The source even indicates he spent polling day in Sylhet, which obviously means he spent the election in Sylhet, I dont think he ran out of Sylhet one that very same day, you are clearly not making sense and shows you can not bear the fact of having the word Sylhet in the article even though he was in Sylhet during the election, and you go on to say he told me, I have contacted the guy many times and no reply, and why would he reply on this type of topic, im sorry to say to you but he is from Sylhet whether you like it or not, thats life.

text: You are the same user as the IP editor, you don't need to live there or be born there, get it through your head that someone can be originally from some other place based on their parents ancestral home. He is from Sylhet, Bangladesh but born in Britian, majority of people in the UK are from Sylhet, this also includes people who were born in the UK. Bangali71 (talk) 17:20, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

text: You are clearly not making a valid statement here mate, if he was to go back to his ancestral home of Bangladesh, he would go to his village in the Sylhet region, which I am trying to make a point he is still from Sylhet even though born in UK, you just don't understand, you do not have a valid point. Bangali71 (talk) 17:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Im sorry but there is no reason to suggest that these informations are incorrect, these have been confirmed by Murad himself and his father through email that they are from Sheikh Para, just because a person as you say only relates to a one set of region, does not mean it should deny users to enter in information that is valid and correct. This is not my identity for sure mate, and I think Wikipedia does allow such informations to be added plus are confirmed by sources, it does makes sense to have these informations because it is his background, which just doesn't disappear into thin air. Bangali71 (talk) 10:15, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have removed information about his ancestors but information about his father is relevant because it shows the slight history of his background and basically how he came into existence. Bangali71 (talk) 10:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Replaced back removed references to indicate Bangladeshi descent, added back only Muslim seeing he is the only and what the source says should not be hidden - its a fact and was born in Stockport in Greater Manchester not the Manchester city. Bangali71 (talk) 12:37, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
