| Stillman's assertion that "Huyayy B. Akhtab had gone from Khaybar with his son to join the Meccan and Bedouin forces besieging Medina" stands. Neither Watt nor any other scholar has said that there were any Banu Nadir troops in the army that participated in attacking the Muslim community.

| Since you're Persian too, you might want to help out at ]. We're having an inter-Iranian problem over the broader definition of who Persians are. Even though some sources clearly state Persians are of mixed ancestry, some users insist on saying Persians are "descendants of Aryan tribes", which is immediately contradicted by the next statement saying Aryan tribes intermingled with the local populations (Elamites for example, but also others) upon their arrival on the Iranian plateau. | |||
| {|style="background:#d5dceb; border:1px solid #6881b9; margin:0.5em; padding:0.5em;border-radius: 8px;" | |||
| All I'm asking is for the statement to be replaced with something more neutral. Perhaps something like "Aryan tribes began migrating from Central Asia into what is now Iran in the 2nd millennium BC." I don't know why some users insist on using the terms "descendants" and "Aryan" next to each other. | |||

| The other side shows very little flexibility or respect. This issue has escalated beyond imagination and some users are actually trying to get me banned from Iran-related articles. As a result I've had very little time for anything else (such as the dhimmi article, which I've visited before). | |||
| Dear AAA765, | |||
| We are a team of researchers at the ] and ], researching the experiences of editors of content about the Arab world on Misplaced Pages. We are interested in your experiences of editing Misplaced Pages and are organising two events that we think you would be an excellent contributor to. | |||
| Could you look into this and let me know what you think? | |||
| First, we are hosting an online wiki focus group about contributing to Misplaced Pages in Arabic and to articles about the Middle East and North Africa. We are interested in what barriers you perceive to exist in Misplaced Pages, how articles can be made better and generally what can be done to expand and improve Arabic Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages articles about the Arab world. This discussion will take place on a MediaWiki hosted at our institution and be available in English and Arabic. We will allow users to create their own discussion pages in addition to our discussions. | |||
| Second, we are hosting face-to-face workshops in ] from 21st-22nd October 2012. If you are interested in this we should be able to pay travel and accommodation costs for up to twenty participants. This workshop will cover similar themes to the online discussion but will allow participants to meet one another and benefit from being together. | |||
| We will take care of the organization and planning and all you have to do is show up and be ready to discuss. But if you would like to help shape some of the discussion themes in advance, please let us know. We have booked time in the workshops for Wikipedian-led discussions. | |||

| ! Frequently Asked Questions | |||
| |- | |||
| |* ''What is the purpose of this project?'' | |||
| : This project is about who represents the Arab World on Misplaced Pages, and how the Middle East and the Arab world is represented on Misplaced Pages. We are studying Misplaced Pages through statistics, edit history data and personal experiences. Our ultimate goal is to help Misplaced Pages grow in size and fairness and do academic research on this topic. You can read . From this page, you can also find a biography of the researchers. You may also want to see our . | |||
| * ''Who is funding this project?'' | |||
| : This project is funded by the ] (http://www.idrc.ca). This organization is funded by the Canadian government to improve infrastructure across the world, including online content. We have been working with the IDRC since June 2010. | |||
| * ''Why did you contact me?'' | |||
| : Because you’re awesome. In all seriousness, we have been looking through Misplaced Pages for active editors based on user activity in either Arabic Misplaced Pages or articles about the Arab world. We have not contacted everyone we could, but we contact people that we think will help to balance the discussion and help us (and each other) learn more about the state of Misplaced Pages. | |||
| * ''Do I need to participate in both events?'' | |||
| : Not at all. You are welcome to participate in both or just one. We recognise that it will be more convenient for some people to have online conversations and for others to speak in person. For some people it will not be practical to fly to the Middle East, but we still consider their contributions important and want to give them a voice in this work. | |||
| * ''Can I use my Misplaced Pages handle in the online discussion?'' | |||
| : You do not need to use any particular name on the online forum. All we need is a valid email address so you can register. You can post using your real name, your Misplaced Pages name or a completely different nickname, whatever allows you to speak your mind most effectively. | |||
| * ''What sort of travel funding will you supply for the face-to-face workshop?'' | |||
| : We have funding for travel and accommodation costs for approximately twenty participants depending on where they are coming from. If you would like to join us in one of the face-to-face meetings then we will do our best to get you there. The exact amount of support we can offer will depend on how many expressions of interest we get and their distance from the chosen venue. | |||
| * ''Can I get involved and help to organize sessions?'' | |||
| : Yes, but this is completely optional. Our first priority is organizing a space for people to attend, talk about Misplaced Pages, and discuss how to expand and improve it. However, if you want to help organize discussions, advise on venues or facilitate specific conversations, please let us know. | |||
| : The discussion we have already organised/planned will focus generally on barriers that people perceive to exist when editing Misplaced Pages either in Arabic or about topics related to the Arab world. But if there is any particular angle of conversation that you’d like to focus on and start a discussion about then please let us know and we can either incorporate it in the programme or let you lead that part of the conversation. | |||
| * ''Will the face-to-face meeting be public?'' | |||
| : The meeting won’t be open to the broader public in order to facilitate focused discussions about the topics of greatest concern. We will compile a summary research report of the discussions. People can choose how/if they want to be identified, and a draft version of this document will be circulated to everyone who participates. | |||
| * ''What if I don’t live in the Middle East or North Africa?'' | |||
| : We would still very much encourage you to participate in the online discussion. However, we think it is unlikely that we will be able to fly you in for the in person workshops. If you can pay your own way, we may still be able to provide you with hotel expenses. In short, talk to us and we will see what we can do. | |||
| * ''Will these events be in English or Arabic?'' | |||
| :Both events will be designed to accommodate English and Arabic speakers. The online discussion will have tracks for both languages and the workshops will have simultaneous English and Arabic sessions that you can choose between (as well as coming-together sessions to share experiences). Three of the researchers speak English as a first language and three speak Arabic as a first language. | |||

One of the editors involved here has a substantial record of abusive diffs, establishing a pattern of bullying, gratuitous insult and unrecanted false charges alike. To me, that's not the immediate issue. 3RR was the reason given for the block, and when they realized AE'd miscounted, AE changed the subject while Sean Black blanked his talk page.

So, Jews believe they are '''descendents''' of Issac who was Hebrew. Now, saying Iranians are '''descendents''' of "Aryans" automatically proves Iranian Jews are not Iranians. All the issue is about the word '''descendent'''. To persians this may not have much importance but to Jews it has. --] 23:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Bernard Lewish on Najis article == | |||
| Hi Aminz, you are possibly right, however on wikipedia we are not supposed to state the author of the source in the articles text unless there is an opposing reference *and* if the original source is considered unreliable. Bernard Lewis however, is considered reputable and reliable enough. Feel free to add another reference so that you can spell out your complaints without it being original research. Usually by virtue of the name of the author of a source appearing most people will assume the article is suggesting that the person is biased.- ] | ] 06:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| P.S. Can you respond on my talk page as I tend to forget to check the other people's talk pages. | |||
| Well its not common sense to me. I am admitedly not an expert on shiism or anything, but I think I am probably more knowledgable on it than an average person and I really wouldn't have the foggiest idea that it is common sense to Shiite Jurists.- ] | ] 06:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| The reasoning you provided not only doesn't seem like common sense but seems quite esoteric (to me, probably not to you though). I think you are just going to have to provide a reference for this one man. I understand what you mean though, for every culture there are things that have become so ingrained in their collective consciousness and memory from such a young age that it is near impossible to understand how some poeple do not already know it. I guess that is a problem with having such a heterogenous community on English Misplaced Pages.- ] | ] 07:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| I would say that Bernard Lewis is definetly reputable and reliable enough to stay in the article. I do understand that he is sometimes controversial, but I would argue that for an academic who writes on controverisal subjects and is as well-known as Lewis is, the criticism that has been directed towards him is relatively mild. Compare what has been said about Edward Said and you will see what I am talking about. | |||
| My suggested solution for you would be to add opposing references that ilustrate your viewpoint, but be careful to use reliable sources and not add original research.- ] | ] 07:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| "Dhimmis were guaranteed their personal safety and security of property. They had to pay a special capitation tax known as the '']'' and accepting various restrictions and legal disabilities. " | |||
| is actually a little more critical of Sharia, in that it suggests (correctly) that the "protection" was really just a threat. You may be familiar with the phrase "protection money" in regard to the Mafia; merchants would pay or be unprotected (from the Mafia itself, naturally). | |||

Therefore the Prophet (pbuh) for the sake of protecting Safiyah, accepted to marry her." | |||

| Thanks - looking forward to it; hope things go well w/ your exams. I understand the general background; though Al Ahzab gives good context, not sure if it is 'the' cite we need. Would also humbly suggest that militarily it would not make sense to attack there 'just because they broke an oath' - there really wasn't very much to be afraid of tactically, (esp from perspective of a presumably intelligent & courageous commander....). Kind of bizare to chase folks out of town - and then pursue them a while later to kill them: why not just kill them right away. Which makes me think some of the more recent Islamic interpretations may be apologism, which I think is uneeded and in many ways insulting to Islam. But the point needs to be made that there is a heck of a lot more to this than what Stillman and the encyc of Islam assert.

| I've already seen this, though thank you for forwarding. I think this is a real mistake, and somewhat an indictment of WP, that it's as lopsided (so far) as it is. Joturner is bright and hard-working. These are good. But he is too young to stand in judgement over anyone, a point underscored by recent experience with Sean Black, and admin tasks include this. Would you want teenagers on your jury? Although he does use his real name, a very big plus to credibility in my book. Further, will he take ''or solicit'' admin action in Islam-related articles? The second point is very important, because the current system invites favor-trading between admins. Two admins can functionally evade the rules simply by agreeing to block on one another's behalf.

Fair use rationale for Image:Profwatt.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Profwatt.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Moses:On hold
Salam brother,
At present I'm reviewing Moses. It has narrated the life of Moses on the basis of Bible, and I think we should pat attention to Qur'an too. Thus I asked to narrate Moses's life on the basis of Qur'an. I think Shia and sunni agree on it and we can use al-Mizan as a source. But please check it and help me with it.--Seyyed(t-c) 12:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Banu Nadir
Stillman's assertion that "Huyayy B. Akhtab had gone from Khaybar with his son to join the Meccan and Bedouin forces besieging Medina" stands. Neither Watt nor any other scholar has said that there were any Banu Nadir troops in the army that participated in attacking the Muslim community. Quite the contrary, all sources on the detailed composition of the allied army at the Battle of the Trench confirm the absence of any Banu Nadir combatants.

Credible author
Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.
Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner.

I am issuing this note so that you can review how I have placed you, and to signal if this is an appropriate placement and/or to make known your current thoughts on this matter. You may either participate in discussion at the article talk page or leave a note at my talk page; but to keep things in one place, you should also clarify at Talk:Rorschach test/2009 consensus review/addendum. Longer statements may be made here or quick clarifications/affirmations based on several pre-written statements can be made here. Best regards, –xeno 14:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- Further to the above, we would appreciate if you could briefly take the time to place yourself below one of the suggested statements here. If none of these statements represents your current position, please compose your own or simply sign "Not applicable" under "Other quick clarifications". Likewise sign as N/A if you do not want to participate further in this debate. If you choose not to respond then you will likely not be counted with respect to further consensus-determining efforts. –xeno 14:41, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
GA Reassessment of Ishmael
I have done the GA Reassessment of Ishmael as part of the GA Sweeps project. I have found a few items that concern me about the article. My review can be found here. I have held the article for a week and I am notifying you as the primary editor in the hope that work can be done to keep it at GA. Please contact me at my talk page if you have any questions.

In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog.

AfD nomination of Criticism of Judaism
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Criticism of Judaism. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Criticism of Judaism (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to workshops on editing Misplaced Pages
Dear AAA765,
We are a team of researchers at the University of Oxford and AU Sharjah, researching the experiences of editors of content about the Arab world on Misplaced Pages. We are interested in your experiences of editing Misplaced Pages and are organising two events that we think you would be an excellent contributor to.
First, we are hosting an online wiki focus group about contributing to Misplaced Pages in Arabic and to articles about the Middle East and North Africa. We are interested in what barriers you perceive to exist in Misplaced Pages, how articles can be made better and generally what can be done to expand and improve Arabic Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages articles about the Arab world. This discussion will take place on a MediaWiki hosted at our institution and be available in English and Arabic. We will allow users to create their own discussion pages in addition to our discussions.
Second, we are hosting face-to-face workshops in Cairo from 21st-22nd October 2012. If you are interested in this we should be able to pay travel and accommodation costs for up to twenty participants. This workshop will cover similar themes to the online discussion but will allow participants to meet one another and benefit from being together.
We will take care of the organization and planning and all you have to do is show up and be ready to discuss. But if you would like to help shape some of the discussion themes in advance, please let us know. We have booked time in the workshops for Wikipedian-led discussions.
More details can be found by expanding our “Frequently Asked Questions” below.
We would be delighted to welcome you to either (or both) event. Please let us know (wikiproject@oii.ox.ac.uk) if you would like the opportunity to participate and we can send you more details.
Sincerely,
Mark, Bernie, Ilhem, Ali, Ahmed, and Heather
Dr. Mark Graham, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford; Dr. Bernie Hogan, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford; Dr. Ilhem Allagui, Department of Mass Communication, American University of Sharjah; Dr. Ali Frihida, National Engineering School of Tunis; Heather Ford, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford; Ahmed Medhat, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford;

Proposed deletion of Status of Christians under different rules
The article Status of Christians under different rules has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Only dhimmi section has any content. Article title is unclear.
While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
