al Rashid

Hey bro. I'm here to tell you that, the family section of the page of Abbasid caliph Harun-al-rashid looks like a mess. Now it's extremely difficult to find out name of a wife/concubine and her respective son/daughter with Harun. The list view was better and easier to read. Misplaced Pages is supposed to help people read and understand easily. Can you change it back or make it a better list? Hope you understand my point. Thank you.

Speedy deletion of Qabiha

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Qabiha has been speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474423199-008 and See https://copypatrol.toolforge.org/en/?id=101071141. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Deletion Review.
