The "Islam" section: Iran

Hello. I stumbled upon a paragraph in "Islam" section about Iran and deleted it out of WP:GEVAL concerns. You see, Kayhan is an extremist newspaper, and when short of actual material, raves about pretty much anything. The "Zionist" is its favorite label for anything non-Iranian. But most importantly, no one gives a damn about Keyhan.

The untold fact, however, is that there was never a ban enacted against Harry Potter books in Iran. All seven book were translated by Rowling's official Iranian translator (whose "official" status is, as far as the law is concerned, only honorary) and were published and sold. The truth is: There was virtually no religious backlash worth considering. 158.58.21.85 (talk) 14:48, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. This FA was promoted in 2007, and it does not meet WP:WIAFA. The article breaches WP:ELNEVER as there are multiple instances of the sources using accio-quote.org, which hosts copyright violations. It is also apparent from this, which includes 2019, that the article has not been kept up to date. The sourcing and datedness here needs examination, and because the article has Wikipedia hosting copyright violations, I will add this article to WP:FARGIVEN.

No response; I have replaced what I could and commented out the rest, adding citation needed tags. Some of these may be fixable if someone can locate archive links without breaching WP:ELNEVER. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:12, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

The prose is listy, suggestive of WP:PROSELINE; see for example, the Catholicism section. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:04, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

And, there are dubious sources throughout, while modern scholarly sources (eg Guanio-Uluru, Lykke (2015). Ethics and Form in Fantasy Literature. Palgrave Macmillan. doi:10.1057/9781137469694. ISBN 978-1-349-56000-4) are untapped; a trip to FAR seems unavoidable. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Granger quotes

DrBat re this edit warring, the other quote from Granger is from a reliable source. Please read WP:WIAFA, WP:RS and WP:FAOWN, and discuss to gain consensus for adding this text to a featured article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:09, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

both quotes are from his website?

Not to mention in the full text of the first article Granger associates gays with pedophiles so I dont understand why that quote is featured so prominently.DrBat (talk) 20:42, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

They are both gone now; WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies. Because there is some bad sourcing throughout the article doesn't mean we should continue the trend. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:55, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

PS, I will submit this article to WP:FAR as soon as I have an opening vis-a-vis the five-nom limit; there is marginal sourcing throughout, along with other problems mentioned above. Since I am restricted by the five-nom limit, you could also submit it to FAR. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:57, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

the first quote is still there, should I remove it?

You can submit the article later if you want, I don't know if I could do a good job summarizing the issues. DrBat (talk) 21:48, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
