==A technical group for dispute resolution== |
|||
Salam Alaykum |
|||
Eid al-Milad al-Nabi Mubarak. |

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users. |

There are many Islamic-related articles which may become controversial between Muslims and non-Muslims or different Islamic Madhabs. Following our succesful attempts to improve the lead of [[Ali]] and current effort in [[Taqiya]], I suggest forming a "technical group for dispute resolution" in [[WP:Islam]]. I hope this effort pave the road to solve more severe controversies such as [[Islamic terrorism]].--<font face="monospace">[[User:Sa.vakilian|Seyyed]]([[User talk:Sa.vakilian|t]]-[[Special:Contributions/Sa.vakilian|c]])</font> 07:28, 26 December 2015 (UTC) |

*{{flagicon|Germany}} [[User:FrB.TG|FrB.TG ]], a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points. |

The content was merged [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant&diff=699383778&oldid=699378042 here] (see edit summary). The consensus to merge is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Un-Islamic_Non-State here]. Obviously, merging this content to [[Names of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]] would also be fine.

== Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid == |
|||
In response to a request for a copy-edit of the article on [[Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid]] posted at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests]], I have pretty much finished copy-editing the article. There are just two things I have to ask you about: |
|||
1) In the section [[Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid#As a theologian]] is the following sentence: |
|||
*Al-Mufid tried to defend the role of reason – he described it as Al-Nazar – and also disputed for the truth and put away faults with the help of argument and proofs. |
|||
Both phrases, "disputed for the truth" and "put away faults", are not clear. I suppose '''[[wikt:dispute|dispute]]''' is used in the meaning of "debate" (see definition 2 in the linked Wiktionary entry); "debate" is not the most common definition, but even if you use it with that meaning, it is not usually followed by "for", so that's a bit puzzling. I'm thinking either |
|||
*disputed with other scholars in a quest for the truth, |
|||
or |
|||
*debated the meaning of truth |
|||
or something else. |
|||
Regarding "put away faults", I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps |
|||
*analyzed faults |
|||
*analyzed sin/sins |
|||
or something else. |
|||
2) In the section [[Al-Shaykh Al-Mufid#Prophecy]], the last sentence is: |
|||
*Although he took care to make a distinction between an apostle and a prophet as the Quran does, he did not believe that there was a difference in their functions, which enabled him to the levels of the prophets and the apostles except in terms of their names. |
|||
The part after "which enabled him" is not clear. I have no idea what is meant, so I cannot fix it. Also, it's not really clear to what the relative pronoun "which" refers. ''What'' enabled him to [whatever]? Not believing that there was a difference? Or "their functions"? You've got to work on this sentence. I'll try to help you word the sentence once I understand what you want to say. [[User:Corinne|Corinne]] ([[User talk:Corinne|talk]]) 03:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC) |

:Thank you [[User:Corinne|Corinne]], but as you see above, [[user:p-123|P-123]] a member of [[WP:GOCE]] had already started copy editing the article. I think P-123 can answer your first question better. Regarding your second question I should tell you that something was missing and I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al-Shaykh_Al-Mufid&diff=704886990&oldid=704871885 added] it. Is it clear now? [[User:Mhhossein|Mhhossein]] ([[User talk:Mhhossein#top|talk]]) 05:32, 14 February 2016 (UTC) |
|||
::Yes, that's better. But regarding the copy-edit, you posted a request at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests]], and no one had indicated he or she had accepted the assignment. When an editor accepts a copy-editing assignment, s/he is supposed to add the <nowiki>{{Working}}</nowiki> template after the request and post the <nowiki>{{Done}}</nowiki> template there when finished. I had no idea another editor had accepted the assignment. I didn't look on this page until I had finished the copy-edit. I'll let [[User:P-123|P-123]] take over from this point.

|||
::::I didn't realise I had to put in a template after the request! I have finished copy-editing as far as I can, but have some queries: |
|||
::::1) I also am not sure what this sentence means: "Al-Mufid tried to defend the role of reason – he described it as Al-Nazar – and also disputed for the truth and put away faults with the help of argument and proofs." Can you put it in other words, the way we did before once with a Wiki article? Then I can copy-edit. |
|||
::::2) The first section, "Early life and education", refers to Hirja, and another date there has "AH". Are they the same thing? |
|||
::::3) In the sentence, "... which enabled him to put the Imams on the level of the prophets and the apostles except in terms of their names", is "except in terms of their names" really necessary? |
|||
::::4) "nass" is defined in its own Wiki article as "a known, or clear, legal injunction", not "personal designation" as in the al-Mufid article. How should this be rephrased? |
|||
::::5) In this article, should the name throughout be "al-Mufid", or "Al-Mufid", as in the title of the article? |
|||
::::6) The article says, "Al-Mufid received two Tawqees by Muhammad al-Mahdi during major occultation", but even after looking up the wiki article on "major occultation", I am still not sure what "during major occulation" means in that sentence. Could you perhaps expand the sentence, or tell me what it means and I can do that? |
|||
::::I think that is everything. I can finish copy-editing when I have your answers to those questions. {{P|:)}} ~ [[User:P-123|P-123]] ([[User talk:P-123|talk]]) 20:30, 17 February 2016 (UTC) |
|||
:::::Thank you [[User:P-123|P-123]] for keeping on the job. Here's the response to your queries: |
|||
:::::# I read the original context from which that vague sentence (Mufid defended...) was derived. As I understood, He believed that in debates one can use arguments and proofs (can use reason or ''al-Nazar''), while some others restricted themselves to the words of the prophets and Imams as by default true statements (Al-mufid apparently believed in both reason and words of the Imams). |
|||
:::::# There's no difference between them. |
|||
:::::# I think it's necessary, however you can take a look at the original source: "Denying any functional distinction enables him to put the Imams on a level with the prophets named in the Quran and also with the others who were called apostles, in every respect but in name."[http://books.google.com/books?id=lvFiAAAAMAAJ P84] |
|||
:::::# As you see here in [[Nass]], "In Twelver Shi'ah Islam/Ismaili, nass refers to the nomination of an Imam or Da'i al-Mutlaq by a previous Imam or Dai," which fits the context. |
|||
:::::# It should be Al-Mufid, when it comes at the beginning of the sentence. |
|||
:::::# [[Major Occultation]] is a belief by Shia which simply is about the twelfth Imam, [[Muhammad al-Mahdi]], being absent and hidden for an unknown period (using hadiths Quranic vesres they beleive that he and [[Jesus]] will reappear at the same time to reestablish justice and peace on the earth). Meanwhile, some people with high spiritual status could make contact with him occasionally throughout the history, an act which is desired much passionately by Shia muslims and is disclosed to have happened just few times. |

== Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan == |

Hello Mhhossein: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article [[Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan]] has been completed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You will notice that I archived one of the article's citations (#1) and I suggest that you archive the rest as time allows. This ensures that the article's references are available "forever" and doesn’t develop “dead links”. The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the url in your citation and paste it in the box on the archive.org site and click save. It creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new url to add to your original citation. If you look at one of the url's I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new url to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl= http etc|archivedate=18 February 2015}}. Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.<br/> Kind regards, [[User:Twofingered Typist|Twofingered Typist]] ([[User talk:Twofingered Typist|talk]]) 14:34, 18 February 2016 (UTC) |

Revision as of 18:04, 23 March 2018
WikiCup 2018 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.
Our top scorers in round 1 were:
- Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
- FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
- Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
- Ceranthor, Numerounovedant, Carbrera, Farang Rak Tham and Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hello, I have no Idea how to respond to messages...
I hope that you can see this. lol Thanks for the welcome! :-) As for the template for Hosay, should I copy and paste the entire information on the template page into the article? I'm confused, sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kb217 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
- Dear Kb217, you can respond to messages on your own talk page just by following what I've done in this message! See Wikipedia:Notifications for more information. Anyway, "the infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown in Template:Infobox recurring event in an article and then filling in the desired fields. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed." Does it make sense? --Mhhossein talk 13:23, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
