Regarding your edit of Ali

Hello, I was hoping to discuss your edit and Wikipedia policy. It is true that the Shia perspective supports Ali's claims and considers him to be the Prophet's successor in authority over the Muslim world. However, to delete that his predecessor in the Caliphate was Uthman is unencyclopedic, and gives the impression of a POV edit. I would suggest broaching the issue in talk. Furthermore, adding honorifics after the name of the Prophet is unacceptable in articles (though it is quite acceptable in conversations) and goes against Wikipedia's guidelines on the subject. I suggest reading the Manual of Style and particularly the Manual of Style for Islam-Related Articles. If you have any questions do not hesitate to inquire of me on my talk page. May you go in God's care. Peter Deer (talk) 00:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Nomination of Rafida (sect) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rafida (sect) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rafida (sect) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Ammarpad (talk) 12:18, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

October 2017

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Yasser Al-Habib. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:44, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
