Ibrahim B. Syed paper

Al-Andalusi,

I don't see that anyone has claimed that Muslimheritage.org "exhibits a strong pro-Islamic bias" as you noted on the reliable sources noticeboard. I said that specifically about the the Ibrahim B. Syed paper. Have you read the paper? After reading it, do you still think that it is an unbiased piece? The pro-Islamic bias in that piece is not solely in contrast to European bakwardness, but also misleading comparisons between past and present structures, and overbroad claims. link If you need more problem quotes from the paper, I would be happy to provide them and explain them, though I expect they will be evident on reading. Dialectric (talk) 03:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

If it was a comment on Syed's paper, then I don't understand why was it brought up in a discussion on Muslimheritage.org ? Al-Andalusi (talk) 00:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
The Syed paper was also hosted on muslimheritage.org, and the cite used in several wikipedia articles was to the muslimheritage.org version. Dialectric (talk) 15:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Al-Andalusi, and thank you for your contributions!

An article you worked on Al-Mufaddal al-Dabbi, appears to be directly copied from http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Mufaddaliyat_-_Al-Mufaddel/id/5311831. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Al-Mufaddal al-Dabbi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kufah (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Thābit ibn Qurra

Thanks for suggesting this, and sorry for the late reply. I think it's a great idea and I'd be happy to work on it.

Per WP:BRD, if you feel your edit should stay, please explain why on the article's talk page, instead of hitting 'undo'. WP:BURDEN is satisfied through the wikilinked articles, and there is no requirement that an individual have specific scholarly qualifications in order to write a book on a subject. - SudoGhost 04:52, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

"there is no requirement that an individual have specific scholarly qualifications in order to write a book on a subject."
Yes there is, it is called "reliability". Read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Al-Andalusi (talk) 04:54, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
"Reliable sources may be published materials with a reliable publication process, authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject, or both." Note the "or". Stop cherry-picking. Also, see WP:SOURCES. It very clearly states that non-academic sources are acceptable.θvξrmagξ contribs 06:44, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
None of which are fulfilled by Bostom's work. Hence it is unreliable. 14:48, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
"published materials with a reliable publication process" - pretty sure I've shown examples of Washington Times and CBS news favourably reviewing it, two well-known mainstream publications - over on Talk:Jihad. I rest my case. θvξrmagξ contribs 00:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jamil ibn Ma'mar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. TheChampionMan1234 03:37, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Warning for Edit Warring

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. 1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. 2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Don't do this [[2]] Use the talk page to reach consensus. J8079s (talk) 05:03, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Following WP:BRD, you weren't supposed to edit the article further after your first controversial edit. Al-Andalusi (talk) 18:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Medicine in the medieval Islamic world, you may be blocked from editing. J8079s (talk) 15:37, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

What? Al-Andalusi (talk) 02:06, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
with reference to your assertions at Talk:The Canon of Medicine It is this edit [3] that violates wp:npov and you repeat it here [4]
The claim "nor Islamic" is dubious as stated in the edit summary; the correct is "many" scholars, not "most" scholars. If every removal of dubious content is a violation of NPOV to you, then so is your removal of content that you don't like from the very same article. In addition, the edits at The Canon of Medicine and Medicine in medieval Islam are unrelated. Oh, and you blanket reverted many other changes for this little thing? Al-Andalusi (talk) 03:48, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Your efforts at nurturing less tended-to articles here do not go unnoticed. MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:04, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Your kind response needed

Hello, this is another mate on the English Wikipedia. If i'm posting in wrong place then sorry but i'd appreciated your comments. I'm requesting your comments as i feel some false accusation are being made without reliable sources in some Islam related articles that were created by a single editor User:BengaliHindu. Specially, i found this article 2013 Canning riots with lots of bias and false accusations against Muslims where Muslim clerics were murdered yet blames goes to local Muslim people. May be i'm wrong but it may also possible that such articles were created per Islamophobia. I believe Wikipedia should be free from personal feelings or views and articles on sensitive topics need extra care to maintain a NPOV. I'd deeply appreciate your comments and advises.

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Operation Protective Edge shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Your recent editing history at Taharrush gamea shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted.

New material and sources are being added and the writing is being fixed. Your wholesale reverts are undoing all that work. You've also undone a clarification about the name.

Mass Sexual Assaults

Hi, I notice that you had helped to create the page on Mass sexual assaults. That's a great initiative but please remember that in order to include any event on that page you need to have a reliable source that actually states that it is a "mass sexual assault." Currently there are several things on the page where that is not the case. Please try to fix these and I'll check the page later on.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions on all pages regarding Muhammad

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Muhammad, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Disambiguation link notification for March 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Expedition of Hamza ibn 'Abdul-Muttalib, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Hijra and Ansar. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Rashidun Caliphate and Rashidun

I notice you added {{merge}} to both articles but didn't start a discussion as to why. Also by adding the same merge template to both articles the link to the discussion would link to two different talk pages. See this and this. One should have {{merge to}} and the other {{merge from}}. This would make things clearer for others and would locate the discussion one one page. I have removed them on a temporary basis until you figure out which way they should merge. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:40, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
