Commentary

I removed text added by an IP because it does not meet standards in WP:MOS; for example, it is written in the first person and addresses the reader. Also, it was unsourced except for a myspace article. The information must be sourced by reliable sources if it is to be kept. This is very important per WP:LIVING. (See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Remove unsourced or poorly sourced controversial material for more details. delldot | talk 02:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

myspace

The myspace profile is clearly a very clever joke, and while I find it very amusing I don't think it ought to be linked here, so I am removing it. 68.49.242.230 06:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)ahassan05[reply]

Yeah, thanks, someone keeps adding that in. We should make an effort to keep an eye out for this. Peace, delldot | talk 07:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I can't find this persons name in these links? I also did a search for this person and got no returns, does anyone know anything? Govindaharihari (talk) 18:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the Introduction of the page.

I'm proposing the change to the summary of the page to the below. It has more citations and is fills the details where the current intro is lacking.

Wasim Sajjad (Urdu: وسیم سجاد; born 30 March 1941) is a Pakistani conservative statesman, lawyer, diplomat who served as the acting President of Pakistan for two non-consecutive terms and as the Chairman of the Senate from 1988 until 1999.^[1]

Born in Jalandhar, British India, Sajjad's father went on to serve on Pakistan's Supreme Court. Sajjad studied at the Army Burn Hall before moving to Lahore where he studied law at the Punjab University. As a Rhodes Scholar, he moved to Oxfordshire, where he received his Bachelor of Civil Law followed by a graduate degree in Jurisprudence from the Wadham College, Oxford in 1967. He was admitted as a Barrister-at-Law at the Inner Temple.^[2]

On return to Pakistan, Sajjad was admitted as a lawyer in Pakistan and joined Punjab University Law College as a lecturer in constitutional law between 1967 and 1977. Sajjad also appeared as a amicus curiae in the Lahore High Court in matter relating to Constitutional validity of Operation Fair Play.^[3] Sajjad was elected as to the Senate in 1985 as a member of the conservative Pakistan Muslim League and served as the Minister for Law and Justice from September 1986 to December 1988, when he was elected as Chairman of the Senate of Pakistan in December 1988 and remained so until 1997. During which he was elevated to the presidency twice during the general elections.^[4]

In 1999, Sajjad joined a defecting group that supported General Musharraf's coup and became the Leader of the House in the Senate of Pakistan in 2003 where he remained until his political retirement in 2008.^[5] After retiring from the national politics, he has been serving as Chancellor of the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, chairman of the Youth Hostels Association and the national secretary for the Rhodes Scholarship in Pakistan.^[6]

Thanks for bringing this to the talk page. My main concern is that this proposed introduction is simply too long for the size of the overall article. I think it would be better with less detail. You don't have to include, in effect, every post he has filled. Do other editors have a view? My regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 14:22, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I can cut some of the lower posts. George Custer's Sabre (talk)

Yes I think that would help. Regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 03:05, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
