Welcome! edit

Hello, ShuratiMuslim, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need personal help ask me on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Again, welcome.  ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 11:22, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please do not change sourced text edit

Hello ShuratiMuslim! Please do not change text that is already attributed to sources. This breaks source-text integrity and renders verification impossible. Please either add new text based on reliable sources, or fully replace existing text (including their sources) with new reliably sourced text.

I also see that you've already some experience with wiki-code (adding infoboxes, formatting references, etc.). Did you edit before with a different account?

Thanks for the welcome ☿ Apaugasma (talk ). I have re-added sourced info and did not remove unsourced info on Sayf ibn Umar. Also can you please change the edits I requested at Talk:Muhammad, no one else is responding there. Regards ShuratiMuslim 1:41, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello ShuratiMuslim, you again removed some info from Sayf ibn Umar without explaining why it should be removed, and added some other info that is not well-sourced. Websites like al-islam.org do not qualify as reliable sources, because they have little or no editorial oversight, no reputation for fact-checking, and are not independent from the subject they write about. Please read Wikipedia:Reliable sources. For this kind of topic, we basically need works written by academic scholars (books published by academic publishers, articles in scholarly journals, or encyclopedia entries). Anything else is very unlikely to be reliable, so it's easier in the beginning to stick to those. Also please read Wikipedia:No original research. We don't use primary sources like al-Tabari for anything except literal quotes illustrating what is already sourced to reliable, secondary or tertiary sources. Again, in the beginning it is easier to just stick to secondary or tertiary sources entirely.
And please, don't remove or change any text without a sufficient explanation. When you get reverted, go to the talk page and discuss your proposed changes. Thanks!   ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 14:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

October 2021 edit

 

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Zayd ibn Ali have been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 08:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sayf ibn Umar. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 15:20, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello ShuratiMuslim! Your additions to Sayf ibn Umar have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 15:50, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
