I am writing regarding your recent edit to Uthman Ibn Farooq Yusufzai. The edit used Huggle to restore contentious content regarding a living person and alleged domestic abuse that was sourced solely to a court filing.
WP:BLPPRIMARY calls upon users to not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. There are some narrow exceptions (when primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source), but the edit you restored appears to solely rely upon primary sources. Domestic abuse allegations, generally, are of an extremely serious and grave nature and require substantial independent secondary sourcing whenever including them in an article—if we choose to do so at all.
I understand fat fingering during an antivandal session, or occasionally misreading diffs—this happens to the best of us. But please do be careful when evaluating this sort of material going forward.
Red-tailed hawk, That was a diff misread. All I saw was content being deleted without any explanation as to why. I don’t even think I looked at the content at all (which I have a very terrible habit of doing I hate to admit when it comes to unexplained deletions), I just saw yellow with no explanation as to why.
