25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi NGC 628! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of :Islam ↗ several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy ↗ disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages ↗ to try to reach consensus ↗. If you are unable to agree&#32;at {{TALKPAGENAME:Islam}} ↗, please use one of the dispute resolution options ↗ to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-ewsoft --> Left guide (talk) 07:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored.

Thanks.<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> R Prazeres (talk) 16:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

:I removed this sentence, which reflects the Yemeni government's attitude towards a scientist, because I thought it was not very relevant to the history of the Quran. There is nothing that requires it to be included, at least in the introduction.NGC 628 (talk) 06:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Pushing a POV



It has been made clear to you before (e.g. at Talk:History of the Quran ↗, Talk:Islam ↗, Talk:Quran ↗) that editors do not agree with your attempt to push a single POV across several articles and that such edits do not respect WP:NPOV ↗. Stop inserting content unduly promoting the revisionist school ↗, like you did here ↗ at Rashidun Caliphate ↗. What's worse is that your attempts to do this at that article have been previously reverted, yet you seem to be trying again by sneaking it into an image caption. This comes across as tendentious editing ↗. R Prazeres (talk) 15:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

:Dear Prazeres, first of all, I would like to say the following about your tendentious editing definition;
:1-No one can be absolutely neutral, but a neutrality that the average can accept is sufficient.
:2-Yes, it is true that I added the views of the Revisionist school. But this does not indicate that I am inclined to organize the entire article according to the revisionist school, and I am not making such an effort.
:3-Like many others, I do not consider the views of this school to be fringe.
:4-I am in favor of that school and other views being included in the articles together and within their own encyclopedic value scales.
:5-Finally, I made such additions to some articles where alternative views were not included and they were given in a devalued manner (this points to the dominance of an invisible group). If this situation hadn't happened, I wouldn't have needed to make such an effort.
:My contributions will never disrupt the general balance, and as I said on the discussion pages, I respect wikipedia policies and have full faith in their requirements. Thank you for your understanding and attention.NGC 628 (talk) 06:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
::You don't seem to get the point. But the short answer is: don't re-attempt things that consensus ↗ has already rejected, unless you've obtained a new consensus to do so. R Prazeres (talk) 09:37, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
:::I'm not very interested in politics pages. I'm sorry for that. I have to read some pages because someone brought them up.
:::However, I understand that the pages are not set as definitive rules, except in these very limited cases, and are only guidelines. Consensus is one of them. As a flexible concept used to express "common sense", not unity of opinion. What I understand is a rule that will prevent the others from becoming invisible by inflating one of the subheadings in an article that may consist of many subheadings.
:::Depending on the breadth of the subject, there is no harm in covering different information on other pages in another article with small links, sentences or a few paragraphs, and the amount of this is left entirely to the responsibility of the contributors.

::When what you added is unencyclopedic, as putting a question in the text is, it needs to be reverted, and doing that is constructive for the encyclopedia.

That reference was about the attribute Ismah. One user objected, saying that this adjective is not used for ayatollahs. It had different aspects and this could be a partially justified objection.

::::@NGC 628, The phrase "''and gained tutelage over people and the administration''" already conveys the main point.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved content from :Sharia ↗ into :Salah ↗. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content (here or elsewhere), Wikipedia's licensing ↗ does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary ↗ at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking ↗ to the copied page, e.g., <code>copied content from <nowiki>page name ↗</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{tl|copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''India ↗, Pakistan ↗, and Afghanistan ↗''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> <span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span> talk 16:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Links should be provided so readers can follow and read more from the sources. (2) the sources appear to be entirely religious sources that were written long ago (not sure?). Although that may be barely acceptable for WP, much better are more recent scholarly sources that analyze the Necklace Incident from a modern, academic perspective. In fact, modern sources are MUCH better than older, religious sources.}}

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Noleander<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

Do you know German by any chance?



Because I think I remember some sources about how the Quran adopted Biblical material and how it integrated it to an Islamic narrative. Indepth analysis, but, if I recall correctly, only available in German. I knew you used various languages for your research, if German is among them, I would try to dig them out for you.

Hello. I have noticed your recent edits to Islamic articles and there are serious issues. You have presented Goldziher’s critique as "if" it were an established fact, when it "must" be clearly attributed (WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV ↗, WP:UNDUE ↗). You have also added "editorial claims" not supported by the sources (WP:NOR ↗, WP:SYNTH ↗) and "copied" the same text across multiple articles (WP:COPYPASTE ↗), which gives it undue weight. These edits misrepresent the sources and violate WP:V ↗. Please stop adding this kind of material. If the "same" problems continue, your edits may be reverted on sight and the matter taken to the appropriate noticeboard for further action. Selenne (talk) 12:48, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

30px|alt=Stop icon ↗ Your recent editing history at :Muhammad ↗ shows that you are currently engaged in an '''edit war ↗'''. An ''edit war'' occurs when two or more users begin repeatedly reverting content on a page in a back-and-forth fashion to restore it back to how they think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree with their changes. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or undo the edits made by other editors when your changes are reverted. Instead, please use the '''talk page ↗''' to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus ↗ among the editors involved. The best practice at this time is to ''stop editing the page'' and to discuss the disagreements, issues, and concerns at-hand with the other editors involved in the dispute. Wikipedia provides a page that helps to detail how this is accomplished ↗. If discussions reach an impasse, you can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard ↗, or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection ↗ while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in being blocked from editing ↗'''&mdash;especially as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee ↗, if you violate the one-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert ↗ on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions 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 one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you do not violate the one-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-1rr --> Selenne (talk) 13:40, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Possible conflict of interest



NGC 628, after noticing edits like this ↗ and this ↗ (and this ↗), which read as promotional material for a particular author, I must ask you if you are aware of Wikipedia's policy on editing with a conflict of interest: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest ↗? That policy also includes also a section on citing your own work, if applicable.

Related to that same point, please make sure you are aware that edits with a promotional nature or tone are not acceptable on Wikipedia (WP:PROMO ↗). The edits noted above conflict with that policy in form, if not also in intention. Please respond and feel free to clarify. R Prazeres (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Minor edits


25px|alt=Information icon ↗ You recently made this edit ↗ to the article on :Umar ↗ and marked it as "minor". The edit added a paragraph of text. On Wikipedia, "minor edit ↗" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typo ↗s or reverting obvious vandalism ↗. Clearly adding a paragraph of text is not a minor edit.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">-- Toddy1 (talk)</span> 17:18, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Citation templates


25px|alt=Information icon ↗ I see that you have posted a new citation at :Umar ↗. Please could you learn how to complete citation templates. Instructions can be found at (for example) :Template:Cite book ↗. You might find it easier if you used Source Editor. In some cases it is a lot of work trying to figure out what you are citing - see Talk:Umar#Unclear source ↗ - it would help a lot if you tried to address these problems.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">-- Toddy1 (talk)</span> 13:51, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Copying without Attribution


25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved content from one or more pages into another page.

I know because the version you pasted into the article on :Umar ↗ contained exactly the same mistakes.

Whilst you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content (here or elsewhere), Wikipedia's licensing ↗ requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s).{{pb}} When copying within Wikipedia, at a minimum, give attribution in an edit summary ↗ at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking ↗ to the copied page, e.g., <code>copied content from <nowiki>page name ↗</nowiki>; see that page's history for attribution</code>.

No you cannot have footnotes to footnotes


What you are attempting to add in this edit ↗ is just too complex. I see that you made it to both the articles on :Umar ↗ and :Ali ↗. It added the following as a footnote, that itself had two footnotes:
{{Notelist}}
Please could you rewrite it as a paragraph with citations but no footnotes. "Modern historians don't take this period family trees veritable" is not natural English.
