Revision as of 14:01, 17 June 2005 by Germen (talk | contribs) (→[] and [])(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Hi Germen, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 16:03, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Ma malakat aymanukum and Sex slavery
I am not going to revert again on Ma malakat aymanukum... I do not know enough about the issue and you do have a point although I think it needs some smoothing out. When you equate the ma malakat aymanukum to sex slavery there is a problem. The context is very different ans the ma malakat aymanukum are a product of war and have a means of getting freedom through sex/children. Also, there is the implication of forced sex... which, it is not clear is allowed with ma malakat aymanukum... sex is permissible but slavery implies a certain amount of control and force. You cannot directly equate the two like that. A link to the article with further explanation is needed to make the issue clear and not leave the reader thinking something that is not true. There is a link between the two... but ma malakat aymanukum is complex and should be fully explained on its own page, not as an equation with sex slavery. gren 13:23, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) Gren, OK, I added a separate heading 'ma malakat amaynukum' as the concept is central in understanding sex slavery in islamic countries. Hope this is alright. --Germen 14:01, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
