Hydrotherapy
Hi, I'm User:Girth Summit. I noticed that you had made a number of changes to the Hydrotherapy page recently, so I thought I'd reach out to you to see whether you might be in a position to help me. I'm concerned with the description of modern hydrotherapy - most of the sources used are not WP:MEDRS-compliant, and I'm not convinced that the article adequately describes what hydrotherapy practice looks like nowadays. Are you knowledgeable in this area, and would you be interested in collaborating to improve the article? Girth Summit (talk) 14:43, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Changing capitalization of sura article
I'm sure you have a reason for changing the capitalization of sura name articles e.g. Al-Ahqaf → Al aḥqāf and a lot of others, but the previous naming is a longstanding practice and I'd suggest not changing it without some discussions to see if other editors agree with your reasoning. For a start, you can begin a discussion in WT:ISLAM. HaEr48 (talk) 00:39, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
- Please do not move any more such articles without discussion. You moved Surah to Sūrah referring to WP:MOSAR, but WP:MOSAR#Common transcription means that we should use "Surah".
- Please revert any other surah pages that you have moved to versions with diacritics, where that version is not in accordance with WP:MOSAR. – Fayenatic London 22:34, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london:, would you mind checking if that applies as well to recent non-title transcription changes of a similar nature to Dhul-Qarnayn such as here, here, here, or here? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 10:17, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- WP:MOSAR#Common transcription may not specifically cover those, but it certainly covers Special:diff/899030559, moving Al-Ahzab to Al aḥzāb.
- JorgeLaArdilla, you are now blocked for 24 hours. Please consider your future conduct carefully. Do not move pages again from longstanding names without discussion. If you wish to gain the confidence of other editors, you should also start to respond to discussions and requests on this page and other relevant talk pages. – Fayenatic London 18:53, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Hadith. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. General Ization Talk 12:31, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
- You were warned about this just last month. General Ization Talk 12:32, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at Al-Zamakhshari, you may be blocked from editing. General Ization Talk 12:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Salwa El-Awa
If this is the first article that you have 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.
A tag has been placed on Salwa El-Awa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www-fri.swansea.ac.uk/staff/arts-and-humanities/academic/salwamsel-awa. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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. Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Sincerely, Masum Reza☎ 16:40, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Unsourced changes to lead
Please stop introducing unsourced material to the lead at Dhul-Qarnayn, as you did here and here. Your changes have been undone. Please see WP:CITE and Help:Footnotes for how to create footnotes to reliable sources. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:58, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
It also looks like you've been making other changes to Dhul-Qarnayn contrary to WP:MOSAR that you've already been warned about previously a couple of times at least. Please stop. Mathglot (talk) 10:21, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Your move of Al-Kahf has been undone
I moved page Al kahf back to Al-Kahf again, undoing your recent unilateral move. Please seek consensus for page moves of this nature on the article's Talk page first. Please see Wikipedia:Moving a page, and especially section #Before moving a page. Normally, when you want to move a page, you should follow the procedures given at WP:RM#CM. See sections #Changing capitalization of sura article, and #April 2019 above. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:36, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- Clarification: user’s page move happened before the block above and does not represent recidivism. Mathglot (talk) 02:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
You have moved An-Nas again, and Al-Ahzab. At least you gave a rationale on the talk page for the first one. That is now open for discussion. Please await consensus on that page before moving any others. – Fayenatic London 09:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Medr moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Medr, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Additionally, the article claims to be about a regional god, yet the content of the article talks about a king and Christianity without first contributing much if anything related to the deity. As such, the article lacks a focus. Please revise, restructure, and expand this prior to bringing this back into a published article. Happy to review it again if that will help. FULBERT (talk) 01:38, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
December 2019
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sam Tarry; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:27, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

JorgeLaArdilla, you have recently edited the article TERF. Below is a standard notice from ArbCom directed to all editors editing this, or any article related to gender. Please read it and understand it; thanks.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. Mathglot (talk) 07:16, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Delete Wikipedia is not a random collection of things; there are no sources to indicate this is a complete or notable collections of items requiring disambiguation.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:41, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Birmingham Quran manuscript into Maryam (surah). 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., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{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. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 10:43, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

George Sale material
Hello, regarding your addition of George Sale material, I think to avoid the WP:UNDUE problem it's better to not indiscriminately add his opinion/analysis to every Quran article. When appropriate, e.g. if it covered significantly by more recent scolarship, we can add it for example to George Sale's own article, but IMO we should avoid it adding George Sale as a reference on its own right, because according to WP:RS AGE works such as his should not be treated as RS.

- @HaEr48: In a nutshell: It is a significant viewpoint in needed of being fairly represented within the exegisis. His work is basesd on Arabic Quranic texts that are extant and in reputable archives.
- OK I have read the policy. WP:Undue: Neutrality requires that each article or other page in the mainspace fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources.
- I get that I may seem to be plastering the surahs with George Sale material, but I feel I have not been indiscriminately add his opinion/analysis to every Quran article. George Sale was a protestant using the Vatican Quran in a time when Islam might be classified a political superpower, before inferiority complexes, before the time of the "arrogant" orientalist, the Fall of the Caliphate, the "new" traditional Islam or the Revisionist School of Islamic Studies. The problem is that the other perspectives have so far not been able to add much quality content themselves. My LT plan would be to do this too if no one else comes along.
- The premise of the content guideline, WP:Age matters concerns scientific and academic fields, where older sources may be inaccurate. In Religious studies older sources are often more accurate, provide a vivid context, and provenace to what might otherwise seem a recent idea.

- I agree that older sources might in certain cases provide more vivid context, as you put it, but IMO they shouldn't be taken as source of their own. We should include it only if it is influential or covered significantly by more recent scholarship that meets WP:RS. Otherwise it will be a free-for-all, everyone will find their favourite historical author and put that as the voice of the Wikipedia article on the topic. HaEr48 (talk) 18:43, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
