Sourced???

Id like to point out that this is the first wiki article that i've seen that does not have a single citation. Anyone able to source any of the info would be a great help, thanks.68.229.51.187 (talk) 22:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request

My expansion of the article with sources has been reverted by User_talk:Dougweller with the edit summary of (Para phrasing) and much of the article has come from this site. Keeping in view the biographical nature of the article and WP:Close paraphrasing, it is requested to have a look on the article so that its concerns may be addressed. For this I‘ve reverted the edits. MehrajMir '^(Talk) 04:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I‘ve made the necessary changes in the text of the article and checked through this detector with the site in question and it indicates a quote by Khabbab and the verse of Quran and some phrases, which are not the issue of copyvio. MehrajMir '^(Talk) 09:43, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As nothing has happened here, therefore removing (paraphrasing template) from the article and closing here as well. MehrajMir '^(Talk) 13:26, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This was still listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2012 August 8. I checked it over and while still very borderline, it is no longer to the point of copyright violation. I did, however, rephrase one half of a sentence which was a direct copy/paste from the source:

The Prophet then cast his tender eyes over the battlefield on which lay the dead companions of Musab

This would have been necessary in any case because the style and tone are very unencyclopedic. The article in general still needs considerable copyediting in this respect. Voceditenore (talk) 14:41, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
