Please note that YouTube is an acceptable reference in some cases, such as an official account. The references you removed belong to the official account of Abu Layth; however, the text they support is not neutral so I've left your edit alone.
Happy editing! –Skywatcher68 (talk)

Disambiguation link notification for June 28
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ali al-Sistani, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Marja. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 08:50, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Why are you adding this portion to the lead when the article already mentions it in the Early Life section? GrabUp - Talk 14:35, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- The article is quite short and it's lead paragraphs contain absolutely nothing. There's usually four paragraphs on the leads but this one only has one lead paragraph and that only has two sentences. Leithiani 14:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- It does not mean that you can repeat what the article already mentions. GrabUp - Talk 14:40, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I mean it does mean that? The leads are supposed to be a short summary of the entire article, including early life, career, legacy and everything. MOS:LEADCITE says: "Because the lead usually repeats information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citation...." Leithiani 14:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Impressive. A newbie already quoting P&G pages. Happy editing! — Saqib (talk I contribs) 16:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

[edit]If you're going to nominate an article for deletion, as you did Muhammad Ishaq Madni, you need to add the {{AfD}} template to the article and log it. Please make sure to follow all the directions for nominations. —C.Fred (talk) 13:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Aight, thanks for telling! Leithiani 14:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
