== Abdullah Ibn Saba ==

Hi thanks for your edits it helps in removing some of the bias in the introduction.

However I just wanted to add that their are several Shia writers who affirm the exsistance of Ibn Saba not just Sunni so this should also be added in the introduction.

Also there are also pld Jewish texts which confirm his jewish roots and they describe him as a Shia initiator or developer of the sect.

:: Good start. I just think one final edit is warranted regarding the contention of his Jewish roots in the introduction. Old Jewish texts have mentioned Saba as a former jew apostate in their texts he is described as a follower of ] and the iniator of the Shia sect.

::This can be quoted directly from the book called: History of the Jews Volume 2: From the roman empire to the early medieval period. By Simon Dubnov page 330.

::The book quotes "Ali had the cooperation of of Abdala, ben Sab, an Arab Jew, who embraced Islam and proclaimed the dogma of a second advent of Mohammad before the end of the world and WHO WAS ONE OF THE FIRST INITIATORS OF THE SHIITE SECT"

::Sorry I could not highlight the quote so I instead used capitals for the important part of it. This should be added after the "his jewish roots have also been contested" sentence in the introduction as several Jewish sources affirm his existance. Thanks for your good work and help. ] (]) 19:16, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

:::{{ping|ShaniAli1lo}} My impression is that these pre-modern Jewish sources are just repeating what is said by Sunni/Shia historians.

Thanks for your recent input. I'm responding here, as I don't want the article talk page to become a forum.

::Thank you for your kind advice. I'm aware of the works of Kecia Ali, which I find valuable, but hindered with ] conclusions. I hope Toledano and Brown don't follow that same path. While hoping for more Fiqh works to be examined, other literary forms can provide better evidence for slave treatment (court records, genealogies, historical reports, etc).

Hi, I noticed a while ago that you (or an editor with a very similar name to you, excuse me if I'm wrong) replaced referenced to the Dictionary of Scientific Biography in the Further reading and External links section by a plain external link to HighBeam electronic version of the Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography (in which I've unfortunately spotted some transcription errors at times). I think this is somewhat unfortunate as sometimes the author/volume/page numbers of the printed article where lost in the process. And also making it harder to use the {{tl|harv}} and {{tl|harvnb}} templates to cite the DSB. Could you consider using the <code>url=</code> of the {{tl|DSB}} or {{tl|citation}} templates instead, or perhaps if you still remember where you replaced the templates fix your past contributions?

Hi Wiqi55,


(].) --] (]) 06:00, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your participation in the RFC regarding the stubbing of the ''Mathematics in medieval Islam'' article, and speaking out against this outrageous behavior. The issues surrounding this RFC are complex. I believe it is important
they be dealt with in a way that provides support for further actions in the near future. This problem goes beyond the ''Mathematics in medieval Islam'' article, but it needs to be dealt with one step at a time in order to avoid confusion and build a comprehensive foundation for further action.


== ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message ==
I need your help in order to move forward. The next step I hope hope to take is opening a separate RFC/U (user) to deal with inappropriate behavior in the original incident involving Pjoef, Ruud Koot and WMC (William M Connelley). The proposed RFC would deal with the sequence of events that led up to the intial stubbing, as well as the repeated re-stubbing of the article when I have attempted to revert it.


<div class="ivmbox " style="margin-bottom: 1em; border: 1px solid #AAA; background-color: ivory; padding: 0.5em; display: flex; align-items: center; ">
The subject matter must be narrowly limited to that appropriate for an RFC/U (user behavior) action. It covers the provocation of Pjoef by RK, the insults and attempted intimidation of Pjoef by RK and others, the lack of discussion on the talk page before the stubbing occurred, the lack of proof of problems with the article, the agreement of RK and WMC between themselves to stub the article, the way the article was initially moved rather than being stubbed (causing the temporary loss of article history), and their refusal to subsequently revert the article.

Razi

hi. I added another sources to quote. this quote is clearly from Zakaria Al-razi. if you search you will find out. with best regards --– Hossein Iran « talk » 07:18, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

@Hosseiniran:, many historians have already rejected the attribution of these quotes to Razi. The article makes note of this, citing specialists in Islamic philosophy, as well as briefly summarizing the views expressed in the disputed quotes. Please read the section you're adding the quotes to. Wiqi 08:18, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Abu Hatim Ahmad ibn Hamdan al-Razi (Islamic scholar) held a debate with Zakariya al-Razi. he mentioned his debate in the book (debate between Abu hatam al-razi with Zakariya al-Razi). I used 3 references for the paragraphs and the first one was not attributed, it's original quote and 2 others are attribtution of the paragraph.--– Hossein Iran « talk » 12:26, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

@Hosseiniran: The quote you keep adding was written by Abu Hatim, not Zakariya Razi. In fact, Abu Hatim never mentioned Zakariya Razi in his book. The article already explains this in one paragraph based on recent and specialist sources. The other view is also summarized in one paragraph. Adding a lengthy misquotation would give more weight to one view over another which is not inline with WP:DUE. Wiqi 16:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Warning

Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:03, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Abdullah Ibn Saba

Hi thanks for your edits it helps in removing some of the bias in the introduction.

However I just wanted to add that their are several Shia writers who affirm the exsistance of Ibn Saba not just Sunni so this should also be added in the introduction.

Also there are also pld Jewish texts which confirm his jewish roots and they describe him as a Shia initiator or developer of the sect.

ShaniAli1lo (talk) 07:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC) ShaniAli1lo (talk) 07:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

@ShaniAli1lo: I think we could use a paragraph explaining why Ibn Saba' is notable from the point of view of early historians. I'll go ahead and add something which should cover your first point about Shia tradition. Wiqi 16:11, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Good start. I just think one final edit is warranted regarding the contention of his Jewish roots in the introduction. Old Jewish texts have mentioned Saba as a former jew apostate in their texts he is described as a follower of Ali and the iniator of the Shia sect.
This can be quoted directly from the book called: History of the Jews Volume 2: From the roman empire to the early medieval period. By Simon Dubnov page 330.
The book quotes "Ali had the cooperation of of Abdala, ben Sab, an Arab Jew, who embraced Islam and proclaimed the dogma of a second advent of Mohammad before the end of the world and WHO WAS ONE OF THE FIRST INITIATORS OF THE SHIITE SECT"
Sorry I could not highlight the quote so I instead used capitals for the important part of it. This should be added after the "his jewish roots have also been contested" sentence in the introduction as several Jewish sources affirm his existance. Thanks for your good work and help. ShaniAli1lo (talk) 19:16, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
@ShaniAli1lo: My impression is that these pre-modern Jewish sources are just repeating what is said by Sunni/Shia historians. I'm not sure if they add anything notable enough for the lede, plus the "contested" sentence seem to cover both sides. If you have sources that provide new details/arguments on his Ancestry, then I suggest you add them to the "Ancestry" section first. Wiqi 05:57, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Your edit at Abbasid Caliphate‎ was not exactly closer to the source

Here, where the source and the text both said Persian, you changed Persian to Iranian with an edit summary saying you were making it closer to the source. Sure, you made some other helpful changes, but Persian and Iranian are not exactly the same thing and you should have left it at Persian. I've fixed that now. Doug Weller talk 11:37, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

@Doug Weller:, the source uses Persian in the general sense, which should not be confused with Persian people -- a specific ethnic and linguistic group. Previously the article correctly reflected the source when it linked "Persian" to Iranian people; I just made that point more explicit. Wiqi 10:56, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
But surely that's your interpretation of the source. Remove the link by all means, but we shouldn't decide that a source really means other than what it says. Note that I also change the bit about "most" of the leaders as the source doesn't say that. Doug Weller talk 12:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
@Doug Weller: Please look again at the diff. "Most" was already in the article before my edit. The same goes for "Iranian" but was hidden behind a link. I just made an editorial judgment to unhide it per WP:LINK: "The text needs to make sense to readers who cannot follow links." In retrospect, I find it more accurate, especially when compared to the interpretation you're currently maintaining: that Persian should be understood as Persian people -- a specific ethnic/linguistic group excluding other Iranians. I'm currently inactive on wp, if you're contesting which interpretation is right then I suggest you leave it ambiguous by just linking to Persian (which matches the source's wording). Wiqi 17:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry if you misunderstood me. I know that 'most' was there, but it still isn't what the source says. I'm not sure what author meant by Persian, perhaps there are clues elsewhere in the article. Ok, I checked and see "(For the distribution of the Persian population in Sasanian Iraq, see Morony, pp. 181-213) and speaking of Baghdad "here were considerable Persian elements in its population". There are a lot of comments in the source that make me think it is Persian people. Thanks very much for taking the time. Doug Weller talk 18:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Abu Abdullah Ja'far ibn al-Aswad ibn al-Haytham moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Abu Abdullah Ja'far ibn al-Aswad ibn al-Haytham, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~~Cheers~~Mgbo120 20:29, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

The explanation in your second edit note was the sort of thing I had in mind. Thank you. (I didn't add the original text, btw, I just thought that a better reason to delete it needed to be given.) --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Anachronism

Hey/Salam,

Thanks for your recent input. I'm responding here, as I don't want the article talk page to become a forum. The issue of consent is an interesting one. Ehud R. Toledano argues that concubines didn't have much choice in their sexual relations, but he says the position of wives wasn't all that different, because marital rape wasn't criminalized in most countries until recently. He also adds that many pre-modern women had little choice in their marriage partner, a view that is reflected in the article arranged marriage: "Arranged marriages were very common throughout the world until the 18th century". Brown concurs: "the lack of choice faced by female slaves taken as slave-concubines by their owners did not differ much from the lot of brides headed into marriages arranged by their families, either in medieval Islamic civilization or Western Europe". Toledano rightfully calls this discussion an "anachronism", because seen through our contemporary lenses, even medieval marriage can appear to be a form of sexual slavery.VR talk 15:15, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

PS, be careful about burning yourself out. Not every comment should be responded to, especially if that comment (1) has already been responded to, or (2) it does not provide any policy-based reasoning.VR talk 17:51, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
Salam,
Thank you for your kind advice. I'm aware of the works of Kecia Ali, which I find valuable, but hindered with argument from silence conclusions. I hope Toledano and Brown don't follow that same path. While hoping for more Fiqh works to be examined, other literary forms can provide better evidence for slave treatment (court records, genealogies, historical reports, etc). I'm aware of at least one anecdote where presumably a Qadhi freed a slave who rejected her master. This and other similar reports do suggest that concubines did have at least some choice. Wiqi 22:47, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Wassalam, I know that Brown covers sources pretty broadly, in fact he even covers Shia sources, something that Ali doesn't. Here is another source that attributes some agency to them in the matters of sale.VR talk 02:05, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
@Vice regent: Thanks for the link. Will definitely check Brown's book. Also as early as the 16th century we find Shafi'i texts stating that a master cannot marry off his female slave to a non-Kafa'ah without her consent. See Zayn al-Din's Fatḥ al-muʿīn. Hence in some circumstances her consent is required, contrary to what Kecia Ali has claimed, although she is aware that her conclusions are provisional pending further search (2017, p.150). Wiqi 22:24, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
Well if you can find good sources for these claims then you should add them to the relevant article.VR talk 23:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
@Vice regent: A 5-minute search didn't turn up any academic secondary sources. But there are pre-modern commentaries on Fatḥ al-muʿīn, although I'm not sure if they can be considered secondary sources in this context. Wiqi 02:06, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ibn al-Haytham (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

  • disambiguates zero extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
