Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Prophets of Islam

I fully understand what you mean - Jeremiah is not mentioned in the Quran and neither is Daniel nor Joshua by name nor Ezekiel. But I simply stated that Dhul-Kifl is often identified with Ezekeil, not that he is Ezekiel. But I fully understand your points and will think twice before making pages for such topics. However, I added much to the pages of Islamic view of Jonah and Islamic view of Noah, much of which has been deleted. May I know why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Imadjafar (talk • contribs) 10:48, 10 November 2010 (UTC) (Imadjafar (talk) 10:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC))

Thanks for the reply, but i dont know to be honest about the Jonah and Noah pages as i have not been there. Thanks for your co-operation Someone65 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

No problem, may I ask one thing? Is there any way to remove all associations of Eber/Hud, Shuayb/Jethro, Ezekiel/Dhul-Kifl, Enoch/Idris and Salih/Shelah from Misplaced Pages and to permenantly make sure that the prophets of Islam template leaves the spaces for Biblical equivalent for all these prophets as N/A. Moreover, is there any real need of the PRophets of Islam in Turkey template? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Imadjafar (talk • contribs) 10:48, 10 November 2010 (UTC) (Imadjafar (talk) 10:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC))

I think its fine as it is. To be honest i'm not really familiar with the template. You will have to ask regular editors there or the creator of the template. The Turkey template i think has a consensus already to be deleted. Also, next time please respond on your own talk page. Someone65 (talk) 13:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Abd r Raheem al Haq

Please try and find a way to edit what others have posted if you think you can improve it as the version you keep reverting to has typos and grammatical errors which have been corrected since, despite problems with the content. The idea is to refine the article towards the highest possible standard. --Abd r Raheem al Haq (Talk) 05:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Death of Michael Jackson, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please read your sources; Latoya Jackson is not Janet Jackson. Rodhullandemu 23:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Images

You are adding a whole bunch of indiscriminate images. Just because images are free of copyright doesn't mean that you should put them in images. The images should have a direct connection to the text in question. Regards, -- Jeff3000 (talk) 19:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hi,

Just fyi, a place to consider looking for contacts and ideas is Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith and it's talk page if that's your interest. Smkolins (talk) 15:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, in case your interest it taken to Claims to be the fastest-growing religion, please note the talk page. It been a very contentious article. Generally the Baha'is have avoided adding the religion there. In fact the origin of the article is the fact that the claim is most about noise and confusion though it is evolving into a neutral proving ground where claims can get substantiation. But there may be a lot more development before it becomes a good article. Smkolins (talk) 15:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

October 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Singapore. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Misplaced Pages account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Dave 03:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Sahih al-Bukhari do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Misplaced Pages uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Supertouch (talk) 10:36, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Re

But you do not need to mention it in the opening of the article, before you add such a thing you should understand whether there is such a difference, it would be more appropriate to mention it in his personal life, because he is still a Sunni Muslim, you can be a Sunni and follow Sufi practices as well same goes for Shi'a, Sufism is not really a sect but just mystical practices, I will not remove it but I will move it to the personal life section ok. thanks.

Islamic view of Daniel

I've had to decline the speedy. Criteria G5 says, in part "...with no substantial edits by others." and the article has had several edits by other people and looks very different from the original. If you want it deleted then you will need to go to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 22:42, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

You already added a WP:PROD to the article here. That means that as per Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion#Objecting it can't be added a second time. That is why I already told you to use Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 00:27, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox article size comment

Per your comment on the article talkpage I have been trying for 3 days now to reduce the article size to only have another editor come in and restore the deletions and then also add more. LoveMonkey (talk) 13:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Your explained reversion of sourced material

Hi. I have reverted your unexplained removal of sourced material. You did not provide specific reason for your recent edits in Christianity in Kazakhstan and Religion in Azerbaijan, as you removed/edited information that contained recent sources from 2009. Moreover, I reverted your recent edit in List of the oldest mosques in the world by providing additional references. Before accusing one of vandalism, , kindly read Misplaced Pages policy on vandalism carefully. Misplaced Pages:Vandalism Thanks.Scythian1 (talk) 22:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Islamic articles moving to the Caliphates?

Hello,

Not being familiar with the workings of Misplaced Pages's processes for deciding when articles need to move. May I ask at whose behest, or for what reasons, you are moving articles containing the words "Islam" or "Islamic" in their titles to article names with "Caliphate" in their titles?

Thanks -Aquib (talk) 01:59, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi aquib. Please see WT:Requests for comment/Jagged 85/Cleanup for an overview of why some page moves are occuring.
