Your article Harith al-Hamdani

Greetings, Huzefa! I spotted the above article while patrolling the new content, and noted the above page. Knowing very little about Islam beyond some of the basic history of the faith, I can't make changes to the article content - but we do have a project on Islam, and plenty of editors who work with the project. With this, then, I have tagged the article so that they can give it some attention and bring it to our standards.

This said, the article also contains no references. This isn't a qualifier to have an article deleted unto itself, but it is cause for concern. For this, you will want to read up on the related guidelines.

Blessings, and welcome again to Wikipedia. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:26, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hadith of the pond of Khumm

Wikipedia is not a collection of quotes. You are adding far to many to the article. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Mad Caliph

I was not the editor that reverted your change, but I do believe in inclusion of the name. A search for that term in Google books shows multiple sources using that to refer to him: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=mad+caliph&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbm=bks&source=og&sa=N&tab=wp&ei=DfE6UKqwFumoyAG564DwAg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=ccbd65a7f6b1790d&biw=1920&bih=934

I tried looking for a source that took issue with that name, as then we could cite that notable source and make a statement like "He is referred in many works in Western Literature as the "Mad Caliph" but this term is seen as derogatory by some, such as [and then here we would note which notable took issue with that name]." Wikipedia has standards on who is notable (so it can't just be some blog), I am hoping there is a historian that makes this arguement or perhaps a leader of the Druze.

One of the main reason he is often referred to by this name is his erratic behavior when it comes to persecution of minorities, flipping back and forth without any apparent logic. This is usually brought up in contrast with the rest of the Caliphs in history who in general were far more tolerant. This term is also used to signify that his behavior doesn't make sense in either the culture of Egypt nor the precepts of Islam, so one should not seek to blame his behavior on either of these.

Because the statement that he is called this can be verified by multiple sources the statement meets wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, that is why its removal is seen as vandalism.

Oh, I had not seen that you had taken the information out again, so this time I will be the person to undo your change and replace that information as it meets the criteria for inclusion (as mentioned above). You should note that in order to prevent what are called "edit wars" Wikipeida has a set of rules and regulations concerning controversy over articles. If you still have issues with the inclusion of the term "Mad Caliph" you can call for a greater discussion on the matter in the article's own discussion page which is accessed by clicking on the "talk" tab at the top of the page.--Wowaconia (talk) 04:30, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

I have added sourced statements from historians that lay out why he is referred as the Mad Caliph, for reasons similar to what I stated above. I still would like to find a notable source that took issue with the term altogther - I can't believe a Druze would not take issue with that term, but we need to find a notable source rather than put words into people's mouths.--Wowaconia (talk) 05:37, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

re : Repeated undoing of sincere editing attempts

Thanks for your message. I don't agree with your logic. Ther is no compraison with democratic election (Obama as you quoted) and this issue. Mufaddal and Khuzaima are both claimant for Dai-ship. Khuzaima followers are Dawoodi Bohra too. We have no idea yet how many followers each claimant have. Mufaddal Saifuddin is controlling the administration, and that's why propably most of media have stated that Dawoodi Bohra accepted him as Dai. I will revert your edit. Reference are valid regarding the sucession issue and both are still claimants. I'm trying to keep a NPOV on this matter. Hope you understand Ftutocdg (talk) 20:16, 3 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ftutocdg (talk • contribs)

All reference regarding the sucession issue have stated on neutral POV. None of them have stated that Mufaddal Saifuddin was Dawoodi Bohra's 53rd Dai. Thats's the problem. The media you talked about have stated for Mufaddal Saifuddin BEFORE this sucession issue openly arise. That's why I wrote "Mufaddal Saifuddin is controlling the administration" - it's a fact too. So keeping in mind wikipedia NPOV policy, "claimant" is necessery to qualify both "dai". I don't need to justify further. Thanks Ftutocdg (talk) 21:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

PS : There are many article on Dawoodi Bohras where basic NPOV are not respected. Your contribution is urged : especially on this fictional Qutbi Bohra article , Progressive Dawoodi Bohra, Taher Saifuddin, ... Ftutocdg (talk) 21:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
