If you are a real editor instead of a bot (hard to tell by your name), and you receive this message 8 years after you posted the one to which I'm replying, I'd like to tell you that I've been doing a requested copy edit on the Catholic Naqib article. I'm not quite finished, but hope to be by tomorrow. The article is in much need of citations to support stated facts, and the different sections are still in much need of cohesion.

Requested copy editing done

I've just completed the requested copy edit of the article made to the Guild of Copy Editors and I'll be happy to engage in discussion about what I did and why. But now I'd like to call the attention of any other editors who might like to work on the article further to a number of content-related concerns beyond just the need for supporting citations, which I mentioned in my message above.

1. In the top infobox, I'm not sure the name of the current editor and associate editor are still accurate, as there is no "as-of" date provided. I also removed the information in the Circulation field because it was a name rather than numbers.

2. In earler versions of this article, the following sentence appeared: ”The Catholic Naqib was the inspiration of two Catholic laymen, Radja Sakra Mehdi of Dalwal and Ghulam Qadir of Lahore.” (unreferenced) But in ¶3 of the Early years section, we are told that a Father Livinus Bavo was the magazine's founder. Because I removed the quoted sentence, it's no longer in the article and thus in need of a citation; but if the information about the magazine having been the inspiration of the two laymen is accurate, that should be integrated.

3. The following snippets of information about some of the magazine's editors also appeared in past versions of the article. Because I removed them, they are no longer in the article; but it would seem useful to use them along with the names of the other editors, which would have to be tracked down:

"In 1932, L. Banerji, followed by his sons, took over its management until 1934, when a priest was appointed as editor. From 1934 on, the paper became a fortnightly publication.1]"

"Fr. Andrew Francis was the editor-in-chief of the Catholic Naqib in the late 1970s.1] Until July 1987, Fr. Inayat Bernard was the editor.[2]"

"Father Francis Nadeem was editor-in-chief of Catholic Naqib and Gulzar Chuhan became editor in 1989.[1]"

"From 2013 to 2020, Father Khalid Rehmat, OFMCap, was editor of the Naqib.[1]"

4. By happenstance, I found in a Facebook reference (which can't be used) this quote: "Fr. Francis Nadeem OFM Cap is elected Superior General of Franciscan Capuchin Friars after Fr. Clarence Hayat. Fr. Francis Nadeem is working in the Archdiocese of Lahore and was chief editor of Catholic Naqib in 1989. The President, General Pervez Musharraf awarded Tamgha-e-Imtiaz to Fr. Francis Nadeem for Public Service on 14 August 2006." <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=624835430967449&id=430568690394125&set=a.430610600389934>

Because I created a section entitled "Of note," this information about Father Francis Nadeem could be placed as one of the magazine's editors who went on to a higher ecclesiastical position (like two others) AND as the recipient of this high civic award. But the supporting reference would have to be a better one than Facebook.

5. The following quote was in earlier versions of the article, but I removed it because the example from 1989, so long ago, is not a good one to show regular staff training, and may not really be all that important anyway: "The Catholic Naqib is a professionally run paper with regular training like the workshop for reporters held at St. Mary's Minor Seminary, Lahore in 1989, which brought together reporters from Bahawalpur, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, and Sheikhupura."
