Talk:Aisha

Aisha and Weight of this article

Who is Aisha, what is notable about her? In the world when you google the name. In the books about Islam? So how is the bulk of the article talking not about historical Aisha but something to do with her age of marriage. It is undue weight. It is mentioned once and that is that. I dont know how modern Western opinion of ancient societies is so relevant to this article. Makes no difference what they think, and there is an article for that also.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 18:05, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Age at marriage

The phrasing in the "Age at marriage" section has been extensively discussed over the years. The second line is sourced perfectly well, and clarifies why critics of Muhammad take up this issue. The recent edit also added material about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that I doubt is actually in the source cited, so it had to be removed.Cúchullain ^t/c 13:48, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Human Tradition's Project comments

You have done a great job expanding the existing article into in in-depth look at the life of Aisha after Muhammad. The organization of the article is good and helpful for the reader. The section on Aisha's major contributions was well-developed and had a lot of interesting information. Although I would not change much to the article, combining the sections about the Caliphs might be beneficial, otherwise the article is coming along nicely, great work!--Bissonar (talk) 16:15, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Your article is coming along good. The one thing I did notice is that quite of few of your links don't go to existing pages. That would be a good thing to fix. Also the section Battle of Bassorah needs some more information, but I'm sure that y'all are still working on it. Nice job otherwise.--LittleDuck17 (talk) 20:13, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

This article shows that you've done some good research. However, the information in this section has not yet been organized as clearly as it should be. There seems to be some overlap in information covered in different sections. For example, "Important Contributions to Islam and Her Paradigm to Women" (which is an unclear and confusing title) discusses Aisha's influence on politics and people, both of which are topics covered by other sections. There are other examples of overlap as well. My main suggestion at this stage is to clarify the kinds of information that should be included in each section. --Jdenbow (talk) 20:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

After reading your article I feel that it is well written and is interesting, but some of your information overlaps and you guys should try to figure out a way to clear this up and make it flow better. I also think how you have your title on the bottom of the human traditions page is confusing but maybe that is just me.--Swalrus007 (talk) 00:05, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Everything looks awesome! You all have obviously done a great deal of research for this article and it definitely shows. The only criticism I have is to explain the act of veiling in the introduction of your section, just so others who are not familiar with Islamic traditions understand the impact of the act. Great job! --Eamodeo (talk) 01:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm no expert on Aisha, but it seems like you guys have broken down her life into relevant categories and they all looked developed! Great job Kbeisaw (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

This is looking great. It's very detailed and easy to read. My only suggestion is to break up the large sections into smaller subsections. I think it might help find where the info is overlapping.Lbeaulieu1 (talk) 19:24, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

You have done a good job with adding thorough information onto an already existing article--Bpio075 (talk) 01:54, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Lots of interesting information. I think it's good that you provide lots of links to other pages. --Kerri grant (talk) 05:16, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Group 3 Discussion

Hey guys, I moved around the sections of our article to what we talked about after class today. What I feel we need to work most on is overlapping issues. Aisha's contributions to Islam and her influence on the Islamic people need to collaborate and try to avoid overlapping which is something I am currently trying to work on. Also, throughout out article, the Battle of Bassorah is mentioned more than once and acting like a overlapping issue. We need to maybe try to combine these sections or exclude duplicate information!! --Kireland1 (talk) 23:51, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
