Republic of Macedonia edit

Hello Kamal,

The section "Religion" of the article "Republic of Macedonia" was updated. In addition, some sources for the information were added. User "23 editor" doesn`t want to accept the facts and this user undid the revision. Do you know what we could do in this matter?

Best regards,

Hello! I have added that new data back to that paragraph on the Republic of Macedonia page. l hope it can stay this time. Kamalthebest (talk) 06:01, 24 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hello Kamal,
Thank you very much. It seems that the user "23 editor" has accepted the facts. However, the user "Judist" doesn`t want to accept the facts and this user undid the revision on the article "Religion in the Republic of Macedonia". Maybe could you have a look and do you have some minutes to revise it? Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,

Hello Kamal,
User "Judist" doesn`t want to accept the facts regarding the religious affiliation in Macedonia. This user undid the revision on the articles Religion in the Republic of Macedonia as well as Republic of Macedonia.
Please have a look on the talk page of the article "Religion in the Republic of Macedonia". This is the link

Women's march edits edit

Hi, I saw you edited the 2017 Women's March, and your addition was reverted as Point of View: "and especially at his statements and positions regarded as anti-women or in other ways reprehensible." This phrasing was in earlier versions of the article, and has undergone extensive editing. It has been added and reverted several times. I am moving it to Talk for discussion. Thanks for contributing.Bjhillis (talk) 23:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I can see where you're coming from. I have added "some" to the quote to distinguish between some who may not have seen Trump's statements as sexist. Kamalthebest (talk) 23:43, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hey edit

Hey how are you, just a small note Muslims are not an ethnic groups, they are religious group compare them with Azerbaijanis, Indian people, Moroccans, etc is wrong. Have a nice day.--Jobas (talk) 08:34, 23 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Jobas: Hello! I am aware that Muslims are not an ethnic group. I was trying to say that other pages about different groups of people have way more than 10 listed countries for the "Regions with significant populations" section. The only other pages for religious groups with similar infoboxes are "Jews" and "Christians" since "Hindus," "Buddhists," "Atheists," etc. don't have infoboxes, so I don't think that's the best barometer for the perfect infobox since there are only two examples. That's why I referred to ethnic groups and nationalities of which there are a variety of examples. And, all of them such Azerbaijanis, Indian people, Moroccans in addition to Pakistanis, Japanese people, and British people list more than 10 examples of "Regions with significant populations." That is why I believe we should list more than 10 examples of "Regions with significant populations" for Muslims even if they are not an ethnic group.

Office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement edit

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Note that making a Reductio ad Hitlerum argument, as you have now repeatedly done on this page requires sterling sources, not partisan blogs and unreliable online "news" sites. When material has been reverted with an edit note reading "see talk" you need ot justify your edit on the talk page and get consensus before replacing contentious, highly POV material. And such material should never be reverted, as you did, with an edit note asserting that you "Undid vandalism WP:UNDUE"

Your revert edit

You reverted my edit on the page. The leader of the party said it was politically motivated, but that doesn't mean that it actually was. She's claiming something, that doesn't mean it was a terrorist incident. It's also unknown who did it. Police are treating it as a hate crime. There's nothing to say that it was politically motivated, ergo it can't be ruled as a terrorist incident. st170e 20:44, 2 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@St170e: I don't think the police need to call something a terrorist attack before we include it on the list. For example, the 2017 Paris machete attack is on the list despite police formally never explaining what the motive was. However, French President François Hollande and the American President Donald Trump stated that it was terrorism, so it's on there. The perpetrator was not even a member of a recognized terrorist group of ISIS, nor was he ever proven to be inspired by a recognized terrorist group. I feel like it's a similar situation where the incident was never actually considered to be terrorism by the police but an official stated that it was terrorism, so it was added.

Gender of Ms Sarah Welch edit

There are two clear indications of her gender. First, Ms. is an honoric used in English to precede the last name (family name) or full name of a female person. It is never used for males, because the equivalent honorific for males is Mr. Second, Sarah is a female given name. It is a very old female given name, being the name of the wife of Abraham, considered the founder of the Abrahamic religions, so that Sarah is considered an ancestor of the Jewish people and of others, including anyone tracing descent to Solomon.

Talk page discussion edit

Hi Kamalthebest, I think you need to calm down. You are indeed clogging up the talk page discussion at Talk:Hindu, making a response to almost every comment by anybody. Please find other things to do in the meantime, and let the discussion proceed at its own pace. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:29, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Kautilya3: Almost every reply of mine was in reference to a comment directed towards me, but maybe I was too animated. Sorry, bro.

Respond edit

Hey how are you, If you see this source here p.22, you can see the most common languages among world Muslims population, among the 25 most common languages French and Russian do not appear, while it's true a large Muslim population do speak these two languages, yet it is not predominant spoken languages among Muslims compare to other languages, I think the information of this source could be added in predominant spoken languages among Christians or Hindu. Thanks and Have a nice day.--Jobas (talk) 14:15, 10 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ah, this is a great resource. Thanks, Jobas! Kamalthebest (talk) 22:16, 10 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

London terrorism edit

why take out the car ramming category, it was a car ramming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BernardZ (talk) 06:28, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@BernardZ: I think you have the wrong person, sorry. The only edit I made to the 2017 Westminster attack was to add a map. Kamalthebest (talk) 06:33, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oh, hold on, I see what you're referring to. I think I accidentally reverted something I didn't mean to. I'll fix it. Kamalthebest (talk) 06:35, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
No, I was right all along. This was the edit I made. It was just regarding the international reactions. I didn't touch the "see also" section, so I'm not sure who did that. I agree that Vehicle-ramming attack should be under the "see also" section. Kamalthebest (talk) 06:38, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I found the edit you are talking about, and as you can see, it wasn't done by me. It was done by User:WWGB. Kamalthebest (talk) 06:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Murder of Nabra edit

The murder of Nabra has been gaining a lot of international media coverage. This is in addition to it rocking the Muslims in North America and other countries. Do you think this could merit an article?VR talk 14:01, 22 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Vice regent: I was actually thinking of creating one, but for the sake of WP:PERSISTENCE, I think we should wait at least two more days to see if the story still has media attention. The fact that more recent investigation reports state the motive behind the murder was "road rage" rather than it being a hate crime might lower its significance to media sources. Then again, not all notable murders are hate crimes. See Murder of Travis Alexander for example. Kamalthebest (talk) 20:22, 22 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Islam in the United Kingdom edit

Hi there, it looks like you're not too active on Wikipedia lately, but I wanted to see if I could reach you regarding an edit you made to Islam in the United Kingdom last year. I've commented out a paragraph, with an explanation alongside it - see my edit here. If you can shed any light on the issue, I would appreciate it. Thank you! Jessicapierce (talk) 02:52, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello Jessicapierce! The statistics on breakdown of Sunni population by denomination are found in the footnotes at the bottom of page 59 of that report. Here's the direct quote, "Questions: (1) ‘What type of Sunni are you?’ with response categories: Salafi (N=38); Deobandi (N=31); Barelvi (N=45); just Sunni (N=508); all other (N=140)." The "N" denotes the number of respondents, which can divided by the total sample size of Sunni Muslims (N=762) to get a percentage. As for the last part of the sentence, it means that 18.3% Sunni Muslims (N=140) in the UK adhere to a school of thought that is not Barelvi, Salafist, Deobandi, or non-demonational. If you want to change it to word it better, I'm totally fine with that. LeRoiDesRois (talk) 23:37, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks so much for the clarification, I really appreciate it! I don't know how I missed those figures in the source - I thought I looked thoroughly, but I guess I didn't see that footnote. I will take a look at the article in a sec. Best, Jessicapierce (talk) 02:09, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
