[edit] No Publicity Please
A wikipedia article should not be used for publicity of publishers of Ibn-e-Safi. The senteces in last paragraph ("We are trying to.. ) makes the whole article an advertsiement rather than pedia article. By disclosing identity of the author of the artcile which happen to have motives other than imparting knowledge. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.35.10.149 (talk) 08:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
I agree, the contents of the title "Asrar Publications" shoul dbe removed altogether.Saqibsohail 12:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- To be blunt, I wonder if the best move would be to revert it to this version. Most of the material added since then by Muhammad Jabran has been copied verbatim from the Ibn-e-Safi website. If that user represents the publishers, it's a conflict of interest to be editing the article; if not, it's a copyright breach.
- Information direct from the publisher is, however, valuable and welcome - just not dumped into the article in unencyclopedic form. Tearlach 17:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- I peronally feel that articles related Ibn-e-Safi has become too wordy and with repetitive information. Muhammad Jabran has added too little to the actual value of these articles. I would vote to revert them back to an older version. Safi-Fan 20:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Official website
I found the old Official Ibne Safi Web Site at the Internet Archive.
I'm not sure whether to use it as an external link, as sometimes click-throughs lead to the current dead address www.ibnesafi.com, which has porn links. However, the archive has plenty of material for expanding (obviously with caution about copyright) the Ibn-e-Safi and related pages: introduction, biography, family, works, poetry and opinions.

Wow, thanks a lot for these links. A real treasure! Good job.
[edit] Quotes
Could someone do a translation of those quotes? Tearlach 12:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Category
Is a category named "Ibn-e-Safi" really necessary? I mean, all his works can be categorized properly under other names (with articles about Imran Series and Jasoosi Dunya deserving their own categories). --Nastaliq 01:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright
Muhammad: I'm sorry to have deleted your contribution to the Ibn-e-Safi page, but it is copied directly from the www.ibnesafi.info website. One of the rules here is that contributions must not breach copyright. The material would be fine if you rewrite it in your own words. 81.155.126.141 18:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Mr. Muhammad Jabran has copied material from www.ibnesafi.info and simply pasted here. I have removed material that was a ditto copy. I have also tried to change headings and translations of Urdu words according to Wikipedia's qaulity standards. --Safi-Fan 01:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
