Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:30, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Satanic verses

FYI, I reverted your edit to Satanic verses for two reasons

We are not permitted to make personal comments about, or criticisms of, the authors of our sources. Ideally you would find other sources that take a different view and add those. The last resort would be to add a wp:reliable source that gives a well-founded critique of that source.
You may certainly challenge any assertions that lack citations. The way to do it is using template:citation needed, just append {{citation needed}} where the citation should be. If you have a convincing case that what is being said is just wrong (and not just your own opinion or "everybody knows"), then you should start a new topic at the article talk page. However in the specific case where you put {{cite book |title=No source}}, the whole paragraph had a good citation.^[1] Now that you are a Wikipedia editor, you get free access to articles on Jstor and many more, via Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library, so you can go read it if you like.

Does that explain what happened? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:30, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand.

As I am new to editing and citations on Wikipedia, I was not aware of these restrictions. I did the best I could to correct misleading or objectionable material. I will take your points into consideration for future amendments.

Thanks for taking the time of day to write to me,

You are welcome and yes, I guessed. Most people learn by trial and error.

While I think of it, another issue you might face is MOS:ISLAMHON – you can't put PBUH after the name of the Prophet. (The restriction on honorifics applies to all topics, it is just given a more detailed explanation in this case.)

You might want to look in on WP:WikiProject Islam. Welcome again to Wikipedia. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:37, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
