Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:41, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Umar

Dear User:Betrayerofhope, assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I hope you are well. Why have you reverted edits that clearly improve the flow, readability and reliability of the article? I've carefully made many small edits to this page in recent days because it was, in my assessment, clumsily written, repetitive, hyperbolic and poorly referenced. I have tried to tighten the prose and remove repetition and to remove exaggerated claims based on weak sources. Where no sources support claims, I've added "citation needed" tags. In particular, I follow the verifiability and neutral point of view guidelines. If you disagree with my approach, please bring your thoughts to the Umar talk page for discussion. I'm happy to work with you and other editors. But right now you seem to be close to edit warring. George Custer's Sabre (talk) 07:52, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits on the Abu Bakr page

Hello Betrayerofhope, I see you and George cluster are doing a lot of work on the Umar page. I hope you guys can work productively together. Now, the reason I came here is, I wanted to thank you for your work on the Abu Bakr page. The page needs to be more NPOV and your addition of Ibn Kathir's al-bidaya wa-nihaya was an impressive balancing act. Please continue the good work. Mbcap (talk) 16:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

December 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Umar may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

{{quote|Muhammad is but a messenger; messengers (the like of whom) have passed away before him. If,
{{quote|Umar judged the outcome of the Saqifa assembly to be a falta [translated by Madelung as 'a precipitate and ill-considered deal' <ref>Madelung, 1997. p.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 19:17, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to History of the Quran, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 00:46, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
