I'm sorry to undo your edit, but you may want to review basic Wikipedia policies before continuing.
First, Wikipedia articles are written in an encyclopedic tone, not in block quotations in first person (I this, I that).
Second, cutting-and-pasting large amounts of material from other websites, as you appear to have done, is a violation of copyright law. This can cause you to be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Third, all material in Wikipedia must be sourced to reliable secondary sources, not blogs and personal statements.
Fourth, you mention you are an "authorized person". I'm not sure what you mean by this, but if you have a personal connection to Ibrahim Sharif, you should read our guidelines on conflict-of-interest editing. Wikipedia prefers for neutral people to update articles where possible. You may wish to edit other articles where you do not have a personal connection.
Please review the above guidelines and let me know if you have any questions! All the best, Khazar2 (talk) 23:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- Khazar2 is right. You should read those guidelines. There are many reliable secondary sources about Sharif that are better than what you're trying to do. We're not trying to discourage you (or to help the government of Bahrain), but we're trying to maintain Wikipedia policies, which must override any personal point of view.
