Bahai Architect

Dear Jeff3000, I appreciate your formating and corrections. Just one thing that I wanted to discuss with you. I removed in the first sentence that Hossein Amanat is a Baha'i Architect and in exchange added " Since moving to Canada in 1980 Hossein Amanat, a Baha'i himself ..." because Mr Amanat himself asked me to change it. He thinks it sounds like the term Baha'i Architect is something different than an regular Architect or he is an Architect that exclusively designs Baha'i related projects. I think the text shows clearly what his faith is and what role it plays not only in his personal but also in his professional life as well. --bin/ei (talk) 16:38, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His religion is an important aspect of his notability and deserves to be in the lead. My wording removes the possible confusion in understanding. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 21:44, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
