Picture of the day

Ruddigore is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. The tenth of fourteen comic operas written together by Gilbert and Sullivan, it was first performed by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company at the Savoy Theatre in London in 1887. Some critics and audience members initially felt that Ruddygore (its original title) did not measure up to its predecessor, The Mikado. After changes, including respelling the title, it achieved a run of 288 performances and was profitable. This 1887 illustration by Amédée Forestier depicts scenes and characters from Ruddygore for The Illustrated London News. Since D'Oyly Carte revived the piece in 1920, it has been regularly performed.Illustration credit: Amédée Forestier; restored by Adam Cuerden

Adding articles to categories

Hi, you've been adding a large number of articles to Category:Supporters of Ibn Arabi, which you recently created. At least some of the articles you added to that category, such as Baybars, make no mention of the subject's relation to Ibn Arabi. As stated at Wikipedia:Categorization (see WP:CATV section in particular), the categories of an article must still be verifiable in the article itself. That means there should be content in the article itself, supported by reliable sources, that makes it clear that the article belongs in that category. Please do not add articles to categories if they lack that content; even if you know that they should be there, the article should be updated first. (Suggestion: you can leave a comment on the article's talk page if you don't have the time and resources to do this yourself; future editors may be able to do it instead and add the category later.)

Support

Hello, TheEagle107 and welcome back! It's heart-warming to see you again. I've made several new threads and wondering if you could help me get them the tag for Authority control database. These are: Al-Kiya al-Harrasi, Muhammad bin Husayn al-Sulami, Abu Muhammad al-Juwayni, Al-Halimi and Jamal al-Din al-Isnawi. Thanks! Ayaltimo (talk) 12:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

@Ayaltimo:  Done Well, honestly, I have no experience in this field, but I did my best. 😃 PS: The {{Authority control}} template draws its values from Wikidata. For more info, see: H:AC, & WP:VIAF. Please also see: WP:ILL & watch this video on Wikimedia Commons:

Wow, you thanked me for my User page! Never had that happen before. It's a nice form of support. Martindo (talk) 21:31, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Martindo: I liked what you wrote about yourself and your life. One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world and see all of the amazing things it has to offer, especially where there is sea, warm sun, and good, kind people. For example, I would like to visit Phuket in Thailand and Bali in Indonesia. Let me take this opportunity to tell you something weird: throughout my life, I've been seeing Asians women are not pretty, but recently I've started to like Japanese and Korean women in particular and find them attractive in some way. 😃 Have a good day and take care. With respect and appreciation.--TheEagle107 (talk) 00:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. Most of my work here is 99.99% editing. I actually forgot that I created some pages. In the case of Sunan Drajat, I actually had never heard of him but decided he needed a page after reading about him on Wali Songo which I spent a lot of time editing some years ago.

Tanbih al-Ghabi bi-Tabri'at Ibn 'Arabi External links in the body

Hi, I was reviewing your article here. I fixed it a bit so the spacing around the ref/notes area is a bit better organised. I notice your using external links in the body of the article. These are strictly illegal and are considered disruptive editing. In this case here I turn them into references. Do not use them from this point forward. If your using them in articles can you remove them. They are great article apart from that. Great series of articles indeed!! scope_creep^Talk 13:28, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Barnstar for you

		The Epic Barnstar
		Greetings, TheEagle107! I believe it's terribly careless of me to be so late in presenting you this barnstar. We appreciate your diligent and hard work on so many historical people and their works from the classical Ages. Finding and reading them is always a pleasure (and frequently results in exclamations like "At last, someone wrote about this!". May God bless you and keep going! Ayaltimo (talk) 08:30, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ayaltimo:Thank you so much for your kind, encouraging words. Your support means the world to me! Words can't express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness, consideration, and appreciation to my efforts. I really appreciate it! You have just made my day and lifted my spirits! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏 TheEagle107 (talk) 06:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

My apologies

Careless of me. Thank you for pointing that out. --Louis P. Boog (talk) 18:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

My opinion

Some similar opinion I had given on VFF's talk page too.

See my view has been that shifting focus from content to personal concerns benefits the accuser to take content dispute off the track. Solution is from your side give primacy to content dispute and take the discussion back to the track again at earliest.

About personal side usually best solution meet impatience of accuser with patience. Address legitimate concerns so the other side would have less scope to continue off the track.

Refactoring requests

Where personal accusations are clearly factually wrong, arrogant or insulting Wikipedia has a discussion culture where in you reach out to such user at their talk page with section heading 'Refactoring requests'. Cite their specific objectionable difs, mention your concern and request them to correct their sentences. After coming such request a user is generally expected to do self introspection and drop their stick and correct their improper mentions and sentences.

If they don't do leave it their for future users who are similarly affected from similar behavior shall take them to the task at appropriate forum with list of improper behaviour and then community warns. In my point of view this is smarter to save our own time, stress and focus.

I hope you would find my suggestions helpful enough.

Once you go through WP:RFC content issues will get resolved any ways. Bookku (talk) 13:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Proposed RfC

see what you think of sandbox RfC for the Jinn article dispute, I just posted. --Louis P. Boog (talk) 20:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Louis P. Boog: Good.👍 Short and direct.👌 But I think the title is a bit long, so I suggest deleting the phrase “according to some Muslims.” I do understand that this wording is for the sake of neutrality, which unfortunately has no place in the content of the current article. In fact, there are a large number of primary and secondary sources that confirm that the vast majority of Muslims consider belief in jinn as necessary and essential. Anyway, your real RfC must include all the sources you have to confirm this. Here are some additional sources that will make your argument stronger and more difficult to deny, ignore or sideline:

The existence of jinn, “who are believed in Islam to be part of the Creation, and dwellers of the imaginal,” has also been verified in the 72nd sūrah (“chapter”) of the Holy Quran, “Al-Jinn.” It is believed by the Quran commentators, both Shias and Sunnis, that jinn exist and even reigned the world before the rise of Adam.

Also, check out the book “The Essentials of the Islamic Faith” by Fethullah Gülen (here & here).

There are also other sources, but the sources mentioned in the previous discussions are sufficiently enough to clarify the issue, and prove that the opposing opinion is merely WP:FRINGE. Good luck and all the best.TheEagle107 (talk) 22:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
