Hi. could someone help me get some feedback on this article and create a little discussion? I am really interested in this topic and wondering if anyone can project in the next 5-10 years where Islam will be and if women will be sereving in the spotlight more? also what are the thoughts on Islam in the USA corrupting the traditions of Islam? I would really appriciate feedback!! Thanks.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Women as imams appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Please note that alternative views are permissible. Ogress _smash! 03:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

I reverted your removal of information plus addition of new information because it constituted a non-NPOV opinion. You were changing the tone to one position, that which argues that women-led prayer is wrong.

As for the Umm Waraqa hadiith, I see what you have done today and I would note you have written it in an essay format. If you believe it should be part of the page, I encourage you to rewrite your essay-style information into a brief, encyclopedic format. It is likely otherwise to be removed by editors because Islam pages get barraged by non-NPOV essays copied and pasted from Islamic websites. Your writing is much too long and non-encyclopedic. I am adding a welcome mat to your page with links to guides on how to write good articles in order to help you per your request. Ogress _smash! 13:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Women as imams constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. CuteHappyBrute (talk) 03:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
