Re

Thank you for your hasty accusations, and I have even noticed that you thought I am an "overzealous" editor. Where is your good faith? I don't give a damn about the Kurdish-Arabic feud, I don't belong to any of these groups.

1. "According to Yasser Tabbaa, an anthropologist specializing in medieval Islamic culture, the Ayyubid rulers who reigned in the late 12th-century were far removed from their Kurdish origins, and unlike their Seljuq predecessors and their Mamluk successors, they were firmly "Arabized." The citation is completely irrelevant (why would you cite the profile of an anthropologist? Should I start citing the profile of a random biologist in an article about evolution?), and as you can see, the sentence is not sourced, unless you are claiming that it is contained in Angold 2006. Now you have added a proper citation, so it's completely good to be in the article, but please notice that previously the citation was completely absent, and you can't expect all new readers to know that that sentence used to be properly cited before someone decided to put a random link to a biography.
2. Read carefully before you start accusing me as being "destructive". The only part that I deleted there was "When Saladin restored Sunni orthodoxy in Egypt, 10 madrasas were established during his reign, and an additional 25 during the entire Ayyubid period of rule. Each of their locations had religious, political, and economic significance, in particular those in al-Fustat." I have read Yeomans p. 111, and it's not there at all. Leaving that sentence would also not be consistent with the last sentence in the paragraph: "About 26 schools were built in Egypt, Jerusalem and Damascus by high-ranking government officials, and unusual for the time, commoners also founded in Egypt about 18 schools, including two medical institutions." I also restructured the paragraph in accordance with the flow of the source.
3. The fact remains that it is irrelevant to the section, you can move it as you please, but I did not do it because I noticed there is a chronological flow from top to bottom.
4. Is that campaign PART of the Third Crusades? The USA was fighting Japan at the same time while they were fighting Nazi Germany, does not mean we should just put random info on USA attacking Guadalcanal in an article about the Western Front?

Next time read carefully before you start being overly alarmist or even a crybaby over other people trying to fix your work. If you think it's so perfect and you don't want any outsiders to disturb it, then don't put it on Wikipedia. Mimihitam (talk) 17:39, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

@Mimihitam: I know you're upset about my criticism, but it was directed specifically at your editing actions, not your motivations. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from ad hominem attacks. The fact remains that every piece of text you deleted reflects reliable sources, almost all of which were already given in the article. If some text strikes you as being in the wrong place, the correct response is to move it, not delete it.Rupert Clayton (talk) 21:17, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

I have moved your post, since it was deleted, to the Ayyubid dynasty talk page[1]. --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:23, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
