Although I appreciate the effort being made here, it's clear that this article needs to be rewritten to avoid close paraphrasing. I am closing this because it has been two months since this was first nominated and I do not think that this will become eligible in the near future. Please feel free to renominate this if it reaches GA status.

  • I have problems with the "Authenticity" section. It is not sourced, and uses an improper tone. ViperSnake151  Talk  17:56, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I still do not think the tone of that section sounds encyclopedic and clear enough. ViperSnake151  Talk  16:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Yeah you're right. I'll fix it by my self. Mhhossein (talk) 19:06, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
  • @ViperSnake151:  Done I checked the section. I think this section does not add to the article at all. In fact, the editor is trying to explain how the divisions were done and what references were used, which are not necessary to be mentioned and the readers themselves will understand by checking the references. Removing this section will not hurt the article. Mhhossein (talk) 19:21, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Some of the phrasing in this article is too close to that of external sources. Compare for example "provides an extensive and detailed picture of Muslim theology and interpretive strategies on the eve of the modern period and is still evoked by numerous contemporary Islamic movements" with "provides an extensive and detailed picture of Muslim theology and interpretive strategies on the eve of the modern period and is still evoked by numerous contemporary Islamic movements" from this source, or "a religion (such as Islam) may be divine and unchanging, but our understanding of religion remains in a continuous flux and a totally human endeavor" with "a religion (such as Islam) may be divine and unchanging, but our understanding of religion remains in a continuous flux and a totally human endeavor" from this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:05, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
  • @ViperSnake151:  Done phrasing in this article are no longer too close to that of the external sources. Mhhossein (talk) 13:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  • No, there are still problems here. For example, "his cosmology and metaphysics develop a concept of God as the one beyond both being and non-being" is taken directly from this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:00, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
  • "reexamine the fundamental texts of Islam and interpret them in light of their own cultural background" is identical to this source. At this point, this article needs a far more thorough, source-by-source check and rewrite. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Hello Hadi, perhaps you should seek out someone else to do this? There are still problems here - for example, " the challenge that religious diversity poses to religious belief" is copied directly from doi:10.1111/phc3.12007 . Nikkimaria (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Hello again @Nikkimaria: and thanks for being patient with me. I have been editing this work, so would you please take another look at it and see if there is any other problem? Best Hadi.anani (talk) 07:42, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
