Lasik

• Start working on Lasik page for Dallas (in fact, the whole Dallas universe, as Ted reminds me, which includes domain pages and doctor's pages for Dallas lasik ) to make it perfect. This involves:

• no redlinks to other LASIK Dallas type pages
• pages consistently named
• links from doctors pages to their practice(s)
• links from DomainPages to their doctor(s)
• redirects in place from the clinic name to the DomainPage
• Services offered by a lasik center should be turned into links.
• Every service/organization/institution on doctors pages should be:
  • Linked to their page on AboutUs or to an external link (in case that institute doesn't has its page on AboutUs). See this example. Dr. Harvey Carter, M.D.
  • Redirects provided from name of the institute to the domain name such as American Board of Ophthalmology redirected to Abop.org
• LASIK navigation bar
  • on all Dallas pages
  • has no redlinks
  • "doctors" link goes to a category for doctors and all Dallas doctors are in that category
  • "providers" link goes to a category for providers and all Dallas providers are in that category
• Add Category:LasikDoctorsInDallas on all Lasik Surgeons' pages in Dallas.
• Add Category:LasikProvidersInDallas on all Lasik Clinics' pages in Dallas

A bit about me and why I am here

Hey this is Asad Butt originally from Pasrur now living in Lahore. A Post Grad in English Literature, a good line fascinates me as much as a delicious pizza, which is not to say that "Sometimes I think war is God's way of teaching us geography" (one of my favorite lines-- courtesy: Talat Malik), will do when I want to have a pizza pie, but that both of them somehow taste similar to me.

Writing has always been an obsession with me but being not an internet savvy I never knew until a few days ago that an exciting platform actually existed--that has the potential to "imperceptibly" revolutionize the world we live in--where I could contribute, however insignificantly, towards making it a better place by writing for it. As a WikiWebEditor now, I am absolutely enthusiastic about how we can all work together to do our most for making a positive change in the way we view this world.

Despite the fact that there are radical differences of opinion even regarding the ordinary things of life, and despite the fact that the world is a bitterly divided place as a consequence thereof, I still believe strongly that most, in fact, all people have, or at least think they have, good enough reasons to believe what they do. The only really bad thing is the tendency to think in isolation which makes everything we believe only partially true. TheWikiWay, therefore, is a great opportunity in that all of us here AssumeGoodFaith and think together. A wonderful example of This WikiWay is the ConsensusPoll on AboutUs regarding its AdultContentPolicy. It's this feature of AboutUs which I like most.

Interview Script

I'm Asad Mahmood Butt. Working as a WikiWebEditor in Lahore. I'm a masters in English, interested in social issues. I think this wiki project is a great way for me to learn a great deal as well as help my fellows on this website to develop a new sort of collaborative culture. I'm really fascinated by the infinite possibilities that this project has offered to me as well as to other people around the world.
