Immediate attention

State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Why?

Why do people remove obvious non religious people from Africa eg Nawal El Saadawi, Zara Kay, and many other Egyptian atheists? Nlivataye (talk) 09:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not clear as to what you mean. Can you cite an example, like a wp:diff where people remove obvious non religious people? I assume you are talking about removal from this article, as each article's edits are discussed on the same article's talk page.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:23, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update: It turns out that Garemoko removed all your additions without explaining why. They were in part correct and in part incorrect in doing so. Note that names appearing in lists must be people who already have Wikipedia articles. And they need to be blue links. To create a blue link, you need to [[Nahla Mahmoud]] surround the name with paired square brackets. That way, you get Nahla Mahmoud. Further, note that Wikipedia does not allow improper capitalization, such as capitalizing nouns and adjectives; Wikipedia only capitalizes proper names in articles.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:26, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
