Welcome!
Hello, Muffizainu, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Saifee Villa, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Saifee Villa
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Saifee Villa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. MuffledThud (talk) 20:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
January 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Saifee Villa, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. MuffledThud (talk) 22:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
License tagging for File:Muffi.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Muffi.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:05, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Nomination of Mufaddal Zainudeen Kurban Husein Adamjee Lukmanjee for deletion
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mufaddal Zainudeen Kurban Husein Adamjee Lukmanjee is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mufaddal Zainudeen Kurban Husein Adamjee Lukmanjee until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Pgallert (talk) 13:02, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Jafar us Sadiq Mufaddal Saifuddin
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Jafar us Sadiq Mufaddal Saifuddin, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Muffizainu, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to 53rd Syedna succession controversy (Dawoodi Bohra) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:01, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Articles about the Dawoodi Bohra are covered by sanctions
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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.Template:Z33 In particular, these sanctions apply to editing of Mufaddal Saifuddin. Controversial articles need care and patience when editing. Patterns of reverting on these articles, for whatever motive, may come to the attention of administrators. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 23:14, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Reverting at Mufaddal Saifuddin
If you continue to make large changes at Mufaddal Saifuddin without waiting for consensus on the talk page, you are risking a ban from the topic of the Dawoodi Bohra. This topic is constantly being disrupted by enthusiasts for one faction or another. EdJohnston (talk) 13:52, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Well noted. Thank you for the thumbs up and will always follow the Wikipedia Guidelines. However, I request you to keep track the vandalizing posts by others. (talk) 23:40, 12 June 2016 (IST)
- Beware of speaking too loosely about vandalism. If you see changes that meet the actual definition of WP:Vandalism, you can report the editor responsible at WP:AIV. Unconvincing charges of vandalism may expose you to sanctions under WP:NPA. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:31, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?
![Screenshot showing a dropdown menu with options for editing the table structure](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/VisualEditor_table_editing_menu.png/220px-VisualEditor_table_editing_menu.png)
Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
Recent changes
- You can now set text as small or big.[1]
- Invisible templates have been shown as a puzzle icon. Now, the name of the invisible template is displayed next to the puzzle icon.[2] A similar feature will display the first part of hidden HTML comments.[3]
- Categories are displayed at the bottom of each page. If you click on the categories, the dialog for editing categories will open.[4]
- At many wikis, you can now add maps to pages. Go to the Insert menu and choose the "Maps" item. The Discovery department are adding more features to this area, like geoshapes. You can read more on MediaWiki.org.[5]
- The "Save" button now says "Save page" when you create a page, and "Save changes" when you change an existing page.[6] In the future, the "Save page" button will say "Publish page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
- Image galleries now use a visual mode for editing. You can see thumbnails of the images, add new files, remove unwanted images, rearrange the images by dragging and dropping, and add captions for each image. Use the "Options" tab to set the gallery's display mode, image sizes, and add a title for the gallery.[7]
Future changes
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Let's work together
Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changes
A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [8]
The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references />
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [9]
Other changes:
- You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [10]
- The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [11]
- The Categories item has been moved to the top of the Page options menu (from clicking on the
icon) for quicker access. [12] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [13]
- You can now create
<chem>
tags (sometimes used as<ce>
) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [14] - Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [15]
- The Special character menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [16]
- A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [17]
- There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:
Control
+Shift
+K
on a PC, orCommand
+Shift
+K
on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which isControl
+K

Future changes
- The VisualEditor team is working with the Community Tech team on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of
<ref>
tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [19] - The kind of button used to Show preview, Show changes, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding
&ooui=1
to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [20] - The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use. [21]

Revert of Syedna
Thanks for your revert. I understand your contention and I also agree with you on the matter. This was to just divert the readers to proper article for technical reasons only. Please cooperate--Md iet (talk) 04:17, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
Asking for detailed answer in article talk page
Hi, Muffizainu, you have posted an uncompleted answer in Talk:Circumcision#Where to write on "Forced circumcision of children"?. You didn't mention there under what article should I write on "Forced circumcision of children". Please review the latest status of the discussion now. I continue the discussion and am still looking for clear answer. Thus, I request you to post detailed answer there clarifying whether I should write on "Forced circumcision of children" under the existing Forced circumcision article or not. Once I get a clear suggestion there, I may proceed further.

Important notice for Talk:Female genital mutilation#Azhar University Disagreement dispute resolution
Hi, Muffizainu, I found this argument in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard.
The problem is that the reference you have provided is very poor Islamic reference. But I agree with your statement that genital cutting is equally prescribed for both males and females in Islam.
According to UNICEF, There is a widespread view in several countries, particularly in Mali, Eritrea, Mauritania, Guinea and Egypt, that female genital mutilation is a Islamic religious requirement.[1] And in many countries, only the women in Muslim families are genitally mutilated. In many African countries, the rate of female genital mutilation is higher among Muslims than other religious groups.[2]
Scholars[3][4] suggest the start and widespread acceptance of female genital mutilation in Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, proves that female genital mutilation is not purely a pre-Islamic practice, and it is rather Islam which established the practice of female genital mutilation in these countries. Buddhism and Hinduism were the predominant religions in Southeast Asia before the arrival of Islam; and male as well as female genital cutting was prohibited in its religious beliefs.[3] Islam introduced female genital cutting as well as male genital cutting into Indonesia and Malaysia from the 13th century as part of its drive to convert people to Islam.[4] Populations in some islands of Indonesia underwent only partial conversion to Islam in the 17th century. In these islands, only Muslim females are circumcised.[3][4]
There is no mention of circumcision of either sex in Qur’an.[5] Rather, according to Quranists, both male and female circumcision is haram (prohibited) in Islam as Quran prohibits any type of body alteration regardless of the gender of the victim. However, some hadiths support that circumcision of both sexes have religious significance in Islam. Some Islamic scholars have ruled in favor of circumcision of both sexes based on these hadiths.[6][7] But according to Quranists, these hadiths are not as reliable as Quranic verses.[5]
The hadiths have been collected 100-200 years after prophet Muhammad’s death. The number of hadiths collected and attributed to the prophet Muhammad is in the hundreds of thousands, and reaches the milestone of million. As much as 99% of all these hadiths are pure lies and fabrications and were rejected by the early Muslim scholars. Some of the famous hadiths collectors and what they collected are provided below-
(1) Malik Ibn Anas collected about 500 hadiths in his famous book, "Al-Muwattaa".
(2) Ahmed Ibn Hanbal, collected about 40,000 hadiths, in his famous "Musnad". He chose these 40,000 hadiths from among 700,000 hadiths. In other words he thought 660,000 hadith were un-proven, lies and/or fabrications and the others may be authentic. That is 94% lies and fabrications.
(3) Muhammad al-Bukhari collected about 600,000 hadiths and accepted 7275 hadiths and considered 592,725 hadiths to be un-proven hadiths, lies and/or fabrications, that is almost 99% of what he collected.
(4) Imam Muslim collected 300,000 hadiths and only accepted 4000 of them, and refused about 296,000. that is almost 99% of these collected hadiths.[8]
According to Quranists, genital cutting of children regardless of their sex is in violation with Quranic principles. And hadiths can’t override the principles of Qur’an.[5]
Please note that you may find full information on religious significance of female circumcision in Islam in these articles – Religious views on female genital mutilation, https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Female_Genital_Mutilation and Prevalence of female genital mutilation by country.
I replied in Talk:Female genital mutilation#Azhar University Disagreement, with full details regarding this matter, which can be seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Female_genital_mutilation&oldid=806520899
My post in talk page has been reverted by the same editor with whom you were in a dispute in the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard. I request you to read my full post by clicking the above link. I wrote a long post giving 112 references. I explained the ruling of both male and female circumcision in Islam in all 4 major schools of Sunni Islam. Where in Shafi'i school of Islam, female circumcision is obligatory. Other 3 schools of Islam considers it to be a honorable thing or preferred. Neither of the 4 Islamic schools prohibit it. About male circumcision, 2 Islamic schools consider it recommended but not obligatory or 2 other Islamic schools consider it to be obligatory. So, it's clear that Islamic ruling on male and female circumcision are same.
Furthermore, in my post, I explained Sunni fatwas, Shia fatwas and Rashidun fatwas on female circumcision. All of them recommending female circumcision. And about Azhar University, it has been given bunch of fatwas historically favoring female circumcision. I mentioned all of those with respective references.
Even when in 1996, Egyptian gvernment banned female circumcision, the grand mufti of Egypt ruled in favor of female circumcision and Egypt court overturned the government's ban on female circumcision soon after that.
I also mentioned the fgm statistics of many african countries where the fgm rate in higher among Muslims than other religious groups.
Now I request you to create a new section "Islam and female genital mutilation" under the Female genital mutilation article where you will mentioned the summery of my post. I also included a summery with my post so that it helps you. Along with my summery, you can include ruling on female and male circumcision by 4 major Sunni Islamic schools. And you can include the Sunni fatwas, Shia fatwas and Rashidun fatwas on female circumcision as well.
About main article for that section, you will add Religious views on female genital mutilation and Prevalence of female genital mutilation by country.
If someone reverts your edit, just inform me and we will file a joint case directly to Wikipedia Mediators (not Dispute resolution noticeboard) asking why was the edit reverted. And will also ask why was my post in the talk page has been reverted.
About your dispute on Khitan (circumcision) article, I agree with your dispute, but my recommendation is that, the Khitan (circumcision) article should be deleted. Most Muslims circumcise older children rather than infants, where the children are either physically forced or are tricked to undergo the procedure.
And as you can see, I posted a bunch of videos of such forced circumcision of Muslim child boys in Talk:Circumcision#Where to write on "Forced circumcision of children"?. The voices of the boys are clear, attacks on them are brutal. Upon discussion on talk page, it is being suggested that we should write on this violence under the Wikipedia article Forced circumcision which is categorized under Category:Violence against men. So "Khitan" falls under "Violence against men". It should be covered by the Wikipedia article Forced circumcision and there should be no additional article on this. So, I request you to reply on this talk page discussion: Talk:Circumcision#Where to write on "Forced circumcision of children"?. In your last reply, you didn't clarify under what article should I write on "Forced circumcision of children". In Wiki talk page, we need specific answer. A couple of users already answered. And upon completion of the discussion we may start writing on those "forced circumcision cases" in Wikipedia. If we face any issue, we can request for "Mediation" directly to Wikipedia mediators.

Thank you for your comments, Abir Babu. Unfortunately, before I could even go through your comments, User:Godric on Leave reverted everything on my talk page - once again, without any justification. I will answer your comments in line. Give me some time. I agree and disagree with you on a few points - but I think that that is vital for a Wikipedia article, and all artciles should be neutral. Muffizainu (talk) 16:13, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Muffizainu, please report Godric on Leave in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism for Vandalism. Removing unread posts from another Wikipedian's talk page is a vandalism and should be reported. Let me know once you reported. About the post I have written about "Islam and female genital mutilation", you have to read the entire post here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Female_genital_mutilation&oldid=806520899
And as I mentioned twice, you left an incompleted comment here: Talk:Circumcision#Where to write on "Forced circumcision of children"?. A couple of users have commented and it is being suggested that we should write on "forced circumcision of children" under Forced circumcision article. Please post your clear and full comment there. 3 Wikipedians have filed a dispute to Wikipedia's arbitration committee regarding this. I am also in discussion with those Wikipedians. Please read my message sent to them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Antixt#Important_notice_for_Male_genital_mutilation_dispute_resolution and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:193.198.16.211#Important_notice_for_Male_genital_mutilation_dispute_resolution And an important question relevant to the dispute has been posted here in Male genital mutilation talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Male_genital_mutilation#There_is_no_such_thing_as_.22Male_Genital_Mutilation.22.3F Please check this as well. And if you can answer then answer that.
I need your attention. And if you need any help anytime, don't hesitate to let me know.
Abir Babu (talk) 20:38, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for dropping your comments on my talkpage,it would be great if you can also be a part of the talk page consensus. I also intend to take my sources to RSN.Muffizainu (talk) 15:08, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?
![Screenshot showing some changes, in the two-column wikitext diff display](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Wikitext_diff_paragraph_move_correcting_vandalism_2018.png/250px-Wikitext_diff_paragraph_move_correcting_vandalism_2018.png)
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you enable the Beta Feature for "⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
![Toggle button showing visual and wikitext options; visual option is selected](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/VisualEditor_visual_diff_tool_-_toggle_button.png/200px-VisualEditor_visual_diff_tool_-_toggle_button.png)
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
![Screenshot showing the same changes to an article. Most changes are highlighted with text formatting.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Visual_diff_paragraph_move_correcting_vandalism_2018.png/250px-Visual_diff_paragraph_move_correcting_vandalism_2018.png)
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence. An arrow indicates that the paragraph changed location.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changes
- The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
- The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [22]
- Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [23]
- The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. This tool has been used at the English Wikipedia for a long time. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be tricky for admins to set up. Other wikis can have this service, too. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.
Let's work together
- The team is planning a presentation about editing tools for an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
- The
<references />
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia. If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either<references />
or the plain (no parameters){{reflist}}
template. If you edit a different wiki, you can request multi-column support for your wiki. [24] - If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations!

Discretionary sanctions alert
Hi Muffizainu, your edits about FGM have become a problem, in my view, and if they continue I intend to ask that you be topic banned. The Arbitration Committee has authorized discretionary sanctions (DS) for anything related to India and also for anything related to gender disputes. Both cover this issue because your focus seems to be FGM in the Dawoodi Bohra community in India. I'm therefore leaving you "alerts" about both sets of sanctions.
I'm involved as an editor at the FGM pages, so I'm not acting as an administrator here. I would have to post a request to WP:AE that you be topic-banned. The DS system gives admins the right to impose additional sanctions, but the editor must first be alerted using the standard templates, which I've posted below. I apologize for doing this—I dislike these templates—but if they're not posted, then DS cannot be applied. SarahSV (talk) 00:07, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, 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 that 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.Please carefully read this information:

I understand that you have to drop me this template it would be fair to understand that since you are dropping me this notice, you can consider yourself of having been alerted of the same sanctions.
I have a few reservations. While you have alerted me, I could assume good faith in that but your accompanying remark that shows you intend to ask for sanctions at AE which is why you are alerting me lacks good faith as it preludes that you would ask for sanctions on me. You could have simply alerted me in good faith that wikipedia has marked it as a sensitive topic area with the alert alone.
That said, I also would like to say that this is a content dispute and I am not intending to disrupt the page. I have not editwarred on the page. I did add a few tags for the content that I thought needed citations, since they were reverted, I've not reverted them back. I've been discussing on the talk page. If you think you can defend your argument, sure. But any admin on wikipedia would also understand that you can not ask to topic an editor who is disputing your content? You have to go to dispute resolution, not sanctions. If burden of some proof is on me, then I shall go to the appropriate dispute resolution if you think you can not directly discuss and clear it with me on talk page. By now you should have known that I am a reasonable person here to make a point on talk page with argument as per wiki policy. I will be happy start an RFC or a mediation dispute so that uninvolved editors can help resolve what you think is right - because I am not adding my own point of view - I am merely adjusting lack of presence of all points of views in the article. Remember that an NPOV article should accommodate all points of views attributed to reliable sources, not just a few reliable sources and excluding other RS.
To respond to your comments off topic and on me, on the FGM talk page, I do not have a conflict of interest as I am not among any one campaigning for or against WHO. I am making my remarks based on sources and evaluating sources in a topic of interest (FGM). Hope that clears that part of the discussion and you will not continue to accuse in favour of civility. Let us just discuss the content on FGM talkpage.
Third issue, you reverted a talk page comment of mine on Talk:Khafd. I suggest you put it back or move it to the target talk page at the very least as I know removing or factoring out other people's talk page comments is not allowed. I also dont see any policy that says talk pages should always be redirected to other talk pages. Since I wanted to discuss that specific redirect, I could discuss it on the talk page... I do see a preferable location would be the talkpage of the target page instead of the redirect page and you can move my comments there instead of removing. Removing completely is not good faith. I suggest you self revert in one of the two ways I mentioned. You can surely put your own comments against it if you have any. Muffizainu (talk) 12:15, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- I've replied to you at Talk:Female genital mutilation, as you wrote most of the same points there. Re: your talk-page post, I don't mind if you repost it at the religious views page. What should be avoided is any attempt to create a WP:POVFORK. Many thanks, SarahSV (talk) 04:21, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve Rasāʾil Ramaḍāniyya
Hi, I'm Rosguill. Muffizainu, thanks for creating Rasāʾil Ramaḍāniyya!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article currently relies too much on direct quotes from sources (see WP:QUOTEFARM). Additionally, the article lacks context for a reader unfamiliar with the topic to understand the article. The various sections for different Da'i al-Mutlaq could use introductions.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
