You deleted my post
[edit]you deleted my hard work and contributions to the article on Surah Fatiha and the current article is terrible and does not even include the prayer. You are purposely trying to suppress that article out of hate I think.
You said the contribution did not seem constructive but it was a much better article than now appears. I think this is purposely done to suppress the article by keeping it terrible and not allowing updates out of hate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YHWHYHWH (talk • contribs) 21:52, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- Not hate at all. I'm merely trying to enforce Wikipedia's rules regarding neutral point of view. Wikipedia does not speak in the voice of an Islamic believer, even in articles about Islam. Nor does it speak in the voice of a Christian, Jewish, or whatever believer. Wikipedia remains neutral. Also, we don't include the full text of religious scriptures or books. If they are not copyrighted, however, you can post them on Wikisource. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:56, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Okay, sorry for jumping to that conclusion without the facts as I don't know your motives were and what you were thinkin and I think you are an honest man doing your job. Sorry. Please forgive me, I forgive you. May our Creator be with you and bless you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YHWHYHWH (talk • contribs) 01:35, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
How about the article on the Lord's Prayer
[edit]There is an article with audio and text for the Lord's Prayer. If you allow that then the same should be allowed for the Prayer Fatiha.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer
Please undo the delete and place the valuable information like is done for the Lord's Prayer, the same standard should be applied and no efforts to suppress updates to Prayer Fatiha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YHWHYHWH (talk • contribs) 22:03, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I've re-added the transcription and the audio file. Your personal analysis and commentary, however, does not belong. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 22:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it. May our Creator bless you and help you. Make your life go well and may our Creator give you blessings! — Preceding unsigned comment added by YHWHYHWH (talk • contribs) 01:33, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
Show me an evidence why you insist on deleting that page
[edit]You despising people as which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. How you can make sure how people's importance in 5 minutes with your prejudgement. You also want us to donate wikipedia? For what? Deleleting our page? i also wrote in my Turkish page to explain these. i share my links to prove it has to be puplish as real person biography. What more significance of subject more? Would you have enough evidence why Ulaş Öcal is a person DOES NOT INDICATE SIGNIFICANT OF SUBJECT. Maybe you get a bit above yourself. I have seen terrorist's name hear. For example Pkk leader. we will be more important if kill people? I am sure you are the person really have GREAT SIGNIFICANT OF SUBJECT. if you tell me one reason why you insisted deleting my page i will apologize. You despise Turkish people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulaş_Öcal The best words to describe wikipedia it not belong to me. "I don't know the quality of your modifications, anyway i want to stress on the fact that effectively there's a big problem on Wikipedia about page editing and experienced users deleting work of the others, i would call it "mafia" because it is indeed the better term to describe it."

- The deletion of the page doesn't mean that Mr. Öcal is a worse person than a terrorist leader, or that I "despise Turkish people". It just means that he is not notable per our standards (WP:BIO), which require independent coverage of the subject by reliable sources, WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:17, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello NawlinWiki,
[edit]I came to know that you deleted a page created by me. I don't want to challenge you at all. According to the rules it could be OK. But I'm really sad. I did not expect such a thing. I created that article for reasons, not for nothing. If you were kind enough to let me know that action I could give you the reasons. But Now it's too late. Isn't it? But I'm really grateful to you if you can let me know what my weak points were and is there any way to recreate the article, please. Thank You. Textlover (talk) 16:42, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Now I'm doing experiments in my sandbox. I want to re-write the article deleted in the proper way now. It was failed twice before because of its poor condition. But this time it will be much better than before. Please help me to develop it in my sandbox. Thank you. Textlover (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
RE: Bold Innovation Group Deleted Page
[edit]Hi there, You recently deleted a page that I created about a notable software company - Bold Innovation Group. I was wondering what the process is for having the page 'undeleted.' The deletion mentioned reasons of 'unambiguous advertising' and 'nonnotable' Can you let me know what aspects were considered 'unambiguous advertising' so that I may edit or remove them? As well, what are the qualifications that make a company notable? I thoroughly went through the Wikipedia guidelines before posting the article, and I believe that this company meets all criteria - has an impressive resume of fortune 500 clients, has very high earnings for a tech startup, has multiple offices, many news stories about them, are prominent in their industry. All the facts about the company were supported and cited with 3rd party content and news stories. Is there a certain amount of revenue that a company must make? Does this need to be disclosed? Is there a specific number of news stories or magazine articles about the company? Aside from those particular issues, I believe the article was written in an unbiased, academic manner with proper citations and internal and external links. Please let me know what the specific missteps were so that they can be avoided for this and future articles. Thank you,

User:Mariiastott blocked as spambot
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki. Please excuse my writing to you like this, but I wanted to speak to you about a block you placed a few minutes ago. I was looking at the page for User:Mariiastott upon which an advertisement was placed for Male enhancement things. The message was placed by the user Marilynard and this user also created their own userpage advertising the product there too. I don't see Mariiastott making any edit suggesting they were spamming anyone, but since you're an administrator, you may have access to information which I don't, so would you please tell me what lead you to block that user? Your help would be appreciated, thank you! CharlieTheCabbie|paġna utenti|diskussjoni 11:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Mariiastott placed a spam ad on its user page, which I deleted. There is a spambot pattern of usernames that sound vaguely real but have double i's. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 14:50, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

[edit]I've blocked User:The N gamer & User:Dbgameface hasting on instagram on Commons. I wondered about these two after blocking User:Dbigcargfnd last night. Mike Rosoft brought up User:The N gamer at Com:AN/BP tonight, and it reminded me of Commons:Help_desk#The_N_game_image. User:The N gamer actually thanked me last night after I blocked User:Dbigcargfnd, but I was headed to bed by that time and too tired to get into it, and forgot about it today till I saw the AN report. INeverCry 08:06, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

- User:Ffjnfnfnf is another sock. INeverCry 03:41, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
I received an email and a talk page notification stating you deleted the page. I reviewed the notability guidelines found at Wikipedia:Notability, and found nothing that contradicted them. I included a reputable source, http://dailyjournalonline.com/entertainment/local/columbia-park-is-home-to-phlarp/article_a2e4f2cc-8ada-11e3-9e0f-0019bb2963f4.html (a local newspaper, one of the few available in the area). Can you please explain why it was thus deleted?
- One article in a local newspaper doesn't satisfy our notability guidelines, see WP:ORG and WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:02, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
So we return to: what does satisfy the notability guidelines? Does it have to donate to Wikipedia? Does it have to be national or international? Does it have to be covered by the Times? The pages you linked imply that city newspapers, or any newspapers, can be used as reliable sources. Seriously. Point out what the actual problem with the article was.
Also, it has two articles. Ceadeus Slayer Sea of Blood © 15:32, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've cited WP:ORG to you, which discusses in detail our notability criteria for organizations. As you will see there, a local role-playing game club does not satisfy those criteria. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:49, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
So. I noticed that on the page List_of_live_action_role-playing_groups, Amtgard, another LARP group as well as game system, is listed as a larp group. However, its page describes the game system only, as well as its history. So what I'm going to ask of you is this: will you undelete P.H.L.A.R.P. and allow me to fix the page? I was mistaken in trying to make a page for the group in itself, and instead should have made a page for the game system (or worded it in that way). Please, undelete the page, and I will fix it so that it describes the game, not the group. I will fix the wording. Thanks. Ceadeus Slayer Sea of Blood © 16:03, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Amtgard is apparently a game system that is played worldwide (although in reading the article, I have doubts about its coverage in reliable sources as well). Calling PHLARP a "game system" won't help if that simply means "the system we use here in Park Hills." NawlinWiki (talk) 16:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
It's used in more places than Park Hills; it's been used in many locations. But this is getting futile. You're going to do whatever you want to do without caring about what (at least I have) heard WP stands for: a comprehensive encyclopedia of information. I didn't know that it was only a comprehensive encyclopedia of global, nationally-covered information. Nice to know that WP will only allow content if everyone else already knows it. What's the point, after all, of having unique information? Ceadeus Slayer Sea of Blood © 16:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, "WP will only allow content if everyone else already knows it" is pretty close to correct. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, and therefore relies on other sources rather than conducting its own evaluations or research, or making its own decisions as to what is notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
In that case, I guess I'll digress. It's still annoying, though, that it can't be put on Wikipedia simply because it's not a big deal to enough (or at least, the right) people. Ceadeus Slayer Sea of Blood © 22:57, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
On second thought, could you move the deleted entry to my userspace, as you did for a user a few messages down? At least then I could keep it around so I could get the formatting and stuff from it. In addition, I can refine it for quality before reposting (if i do). Ceadeus Slayer Sea of Blood © 19:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Romanian tennis vandal
[edit]As per our last discussion (back in September 2013!), I wanted to let you know that I found a "new" one – Bogdanova2 (talk · contribs).

Deletion of Evolent Health
[edit]Can I attempt a rewrite of the article and then repost it? Bda3853 (talk) 18:51, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've moved the deleted entry to your userspace at User:Bda3853/Evolent Health. You are going to need to edit it to remove the promotional and laudatory language, see WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. If you will let me know when you have done that, I'll be glad to take another look. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:45, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Deletion of American Solar Challenge 2014
[edit]Can you please undo the deletion of the article? I am working on articles for several different events and plan on adding context to them soon. I just posted the article so the link on another page wouldn't be red anymore. Thanks Jakendx832 (talk) 01:24, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- You really need to at least have a paragraph of text saying what the event is, and citing to reliable sources. I'll put the deleted table of results in your userspace at User:Jakendx832/American Solar Challenge 2014 for you to work on. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Deletion of Adolfo Mondragon
[edit]Please do not delete the next iteration of the Adolfo Mondragon article. You cited "A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events," Adolfo is, and the article stated that he is, a candidate for local office in the City of Chicago. I will add citations when I repost. Ronki53 (talk) 19:47, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- That doesn't qualify as notable under our standards, see WP:POLITICIAN. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
Deletion of Carolina Digital Phone
[edit]Can you please undo the deletion of the article? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Digital_Phone As stated this article is informational and is not self promoting. Many phone companies have articles and this page is referenced a number of places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NickySmith (talk • contribs) 21:16, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's "referenced" in that you added mentions of this company to another Wikipedia page. Your article did not show that this company is notable per our standards, see WP:CORP. It's not enough to show that it exists or has an FCC license. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:18, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
As requested previously https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Digital_Phone need to be listed as other telephone companies no matter how small or large the might be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NickySmith (talk • contribs) 03:56, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, please do not erase the user's page, it's already a french-english translation of the pages you deleted.
We are actually working on a 6 month project based on wikipedia, and the lecture will take place tomorrow.
We are a small school (150 students), so we think it can be releavant to have an even page on mainwiki.
Future event can be shown on wiki main pages, as world cup or presidential election...
- I didn't erase it. I moved it to your userspace at User:Dgquatre/Post-wiki. It doesn't belong in mainspace because it's not a notable event, see WP:EVENT and WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:19, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

190.72.0.0/16
[edit]It looks to me like your block of 190.72.0.0/16 affects an ISP, not an open proxy. It seems to be affecting innocent users who aren't behind a proxy, https://utrs.wmflabs.org/appeal.php?id=12907 being one of them. Can you take a look? Thanks, Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:26, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- That's CanTV Servicio in Venezuela, which is apparently all open proxies and frequently abused by JarlaxleArtemis among others. But I defer to your judgment if there are too many innocent users affected. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:29, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

15th January 2015, Regarding Living Farms page deleted
[edit]Please note I have added more links to media articles and even listed third party associations of Living Farms in a new page under my user page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:VA1979/Living_Farms). Please review as the organization is the same established NGO who recently organised the 'Adivasi Food Festival' in Delhi. Living farms is often mentioned in many media stories focusing on sustainable agriculture, for the studies they conduct and events they organize. I have included some links, please let me know if this is sufficient? Note, there are many other notable NGO organizations and researchers and movements with whom the NGO is associated but as not many are covered on Wikipedia, please also let me know what is the kind of notability Wikipedia seeks.VA1979 (talk) 10:51, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- Those third-party sources are what we were looking for, thanks. Feel free to move the page back to main space. (And because we have no page called Living Farms, you should move it to that title rather than Living Farms (Indian NGO). Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 16:11, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Ceres Power
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki,
I am trying to find the history of the article on Ceres Power which has disappeared from the main space, and you seem to have been involved with the deletion process. When I last saw it, the article had an extensive history with claims to notability and a valid reference from the print edition of the Times newspaper, so I am at a loss to understand your comments that "sources are all press releases".
Links:
Can you point me to the history of this speedy deletion? There is no page at WP:AfD. Can you please point me to the deletion discussion, if there was one?
Your comment in the page move refers to a "user request". Where was that user request made? Many thanks. Hallucegenia (talk) 12:18, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Chip Pickering
[edit]Good morning NawlinWiki,
I have been trying to update a page on Chip Pickering and you are attributed as the editor who reverted them back to the old format with the comment that my edits "did not appear to be constructive." Putting the very questionable judgment of that statement aside I will instead try and address who I am and why we are trying to get edits made. I am responsible for marketing and communications as COMPTEL, a trade association at which Mr. Pickering is also employed as our CEO. It is part of my job to safeguard the brand of the association and its leadership. Mr. Pickering is a former congressman and was a public figure and as such was the subject of a great deal of news, both pro and con. He has not been a public figure for the last 8 years. I reviewed his Wikipedia page and saw information that is just plain out of date, information that is inaccurate and also information that is at a minimum judgmental and some of which could even be construed as libelous. Other postings are either irrelevant or just plain silly. The fact that someone posted something first doesn't make that information accurate or more credible. Please help me understand how I can get this page updated to contain the accurate information that Mr. Pickering himself has provided to me and you have now deleted. I saw your suggestion about using the sandbox in some sort of trial and error to win your approval. Sandboxes are for children and I need to rectify this asap. Some concise and helpful dialogue would be useful.
David Zinn (talk) 13:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well first, because you are a PR representative for Mr. Pickering, you need to be aware of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Second, we are happy to have you update or correct statements in the article, but you need to cite reliable independent sources (WP:V) for anything you add, and you should not remove reliably sourced statements already in the article just because they may reflect Mr. Pickering in a negative light. It's not appropriate for you to whitewash the page so that it only presents positive statements about Mr. Pickering. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:47, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
deleted code
[edit]Is there any way to get the code from the wiki you just deleted. I would like to work on it in the user forum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brannon_Bates Johnlamint2253 (talk) 17:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Article Deleted
[edit]It took me 3 hours to connect pieces of information and write an article which you deleted in a few seconds. Imagine how easy it is to delete something, and imagine how hard it is to write something which brings information (and not noise and frustration like your actions). The article was related to a company and placed under a specific section, related to companies of specific region. It included relevant information on that company which has a significant influence on that specific local market. Do you even remember anything of that article!?? Did you even read the article!? And apparently your decision was to delete it in one click. Would it rather be better (and more human) to contact me before and point out objections? Would it hurt to discuss it first!?
So, in frustration of your godly action, here is what I think of you: You are not contributing to Wikipedia. You are destroying it! By deleting articles which takes hours to write in a click, you are no better than assholes who go around and hack pages, or bomb or kill for the matter. They have the same idea of bringing order or justice in their destroying actions. Thank God there are not many like you, otherwise there would be no WikiPedia. No free information, no open resources!
And I know, you will probably still thing you are right, and will keep doing what you do (I read a few other comments of angry people whose articles you deleted seconds after they published) and will not be influenced neither by this remark, or neither by my indignation (which unfortunately comes in the form of an honest insult). So take a minute to reflect, and consider at least an apology.... Most probably you will not even think long. You will go back to your small world and be convinced by your ego that the control and domination you have. Deep down you are an asshole! Here is a new and authentic information on you. Put it on your profile and do not dare to edit it; especially if you believe in the values of Wikipedia such as originality and valuable information. Let other people who come to your profile proove me wrong. Al-punk (talk) 17:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- When you are ready to stop making personal attacks, I will be glad to discuss the deletion with you. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:03, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
My page is deleted before I added all the notability evidences
[edit]I created a page about a company mentioned in many articles on different websites, but I had no time to add everything I planned. It would be great if you could restore my article so I can finish it.
Is there anything else I can improve in order to comply to Wiki guidelines ?
RdnckNs (talk) 17:39, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've moved the deleted text to your userspace at User:RdnckNs/ApexSQL. Please look at WP:CORP regarding notability - brief mentions of the company's products are not sufficient. You need to find sources that discuss the company itself, and that show how it meets the notability standards of WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:05, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Dr. Sampat Shivangi
[edit]I have placed this page on here three times and it has been deleted 3 times for the reasons of there not being a cite, but there was because it was from personal communication and was cited at the end of the article, and also because of the individual being alive and there being a question of the importance. This individual has great importance in our state in the area of Mental Health as he is the current chairman of this board and also this article provides information about his humanitarian efforts from starting schools to being apart of different political events. Please advise how I can place this article on here without it being deleted. Bvuncannon (talk) 16:15, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Brad Vuncannon
- Sorry, personal communication is not verifiable by others, see WP:V, and therefore doesn't qualify as a reliable source for Wikipedia. Also, nothing in the article satisfies our criteria for notability for individuals, see WP:BIO. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:19, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Tunit Malcom recreated
[edit]Hi Nawlin, just looking through some logs and noticed Tunit Malcom has been recreated after your earlier deletion. Not sure how similar it is the the previous version. Just thought I'd drop you a message. Bellerophon talk to me 22:10, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- Same stuff, deleted again. Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 02:22, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
User:Devatma
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki
Just noticed you had deleted this user page, User:Devatma, now apparently recreated. Came to it circuitously from wp:NPP after seeing Dev Atma created. Note that Devatma has been deleted several times (which I see you probably already know!) with Bhagwan Devatma and Satya Nand Agnihotri created recently by the same editor.
The pages all seem to be about Shiv Narayan Agnihotri who has had a page since 2007! I've 'boldly' redirected the first two to Satya Nand Agnihotri. I left some comments about merging at Talk:Shiv Narayan Agnihotri (the pre-existing page). Just FYI! --220 of Borg 04:55, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- The problem is that this user insists on posting religious proselytizing (the one true path is to follow Devatma, etc.). I've deleted all of these pages and blocked the users. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 15:43, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you too! (late) Happy New Year! 220 of Borg 08:02, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Deletion of Romeo Charles Toogood
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki, I would like to query the deletion of this page. How could I go about getting this information reinstated? Toogood was a 20th century Irish artist of considerable renown - his name appears in the Dictionary of Irish Artists of the 20th Century 2nd Edition, which I will cite. Thank you, Lusezcki (talk) 12:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've moved the deleted text to your userspace at User:Lusezcki/Romeo Toogood. Please add the Dictionary of Irish Artists citation and any other sources you can find before moving the article back to main space. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 15:46, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lan Yan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Empress Wang. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Deletion of Capricorns (band)
[edit]I can't see why this page was deleted. The reason was that this band was not notable, but i included their album/members info along with the right references. I can't see how their work is not notable. I would like to know so i can make it better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henriettanuttal (talk • contribs) 16:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- The fact that they released an album doesn't make them notable per our guidelines. Please look at WP:BAND. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:30, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Islam
[edit]I see that you reverted my edit. However, my action was in keeping with concensus on talkpage. The editor in question has been editwarring to push POV. See the talkpage--Dustylappss (talk) 20:24, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- I don't at all see a consensus on the talk page to add your revision to the Family Life section. Also, as I just posted on the talk page, you are mis-citing the BBC source. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:27, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's not my revision, its the revision done by a dozen editors after POV-pushers tried to remove this part that had been in the article for a long time. Islam is defined by Quran, and also by the teachings, normative example and way of life of Muhammad which are Sunnah and Hadith. Muhammad was a slave owner and trader, Muhammad captured slaves in battle and Muhammad had sex with his slaves (such as Maria al-Qibtiyya, Rayhana bint Zayd ibn Amr, Al-Jariya, Tukana al-Quraziya and many others). In modern times, most Muslims choose to disregard Islamic banking laws, hijab and many things. We ought represent Islam as it is.--Dustylappss (talk) 20:43, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- What you just said is covered, in great detail, in Islamic views on slavery. But putting it in the "family life" section of the Islam article implies that it is a typical part of modern Islamic family life, which is not supported by your BBC source, and is in fact contradicted by it. The islamqa.info site is one person's opinion on what the Quran says, and does not appear to be a reliable source, or in fact a source at all on the topic of what Islamic "family life" is in current practice. Similarly, although there is a long history of slavery among Christians, see Christian views on slavery, it would be misleading to edit the Christianity article to imply that slavery is condoned in modern Christian families. But more importantly than any of that, I've read the discussion, and (1) I don't see a consensus to re-add the section, and (2) if you do it again, that would be at least your fourth revert and would violate WP:3RR. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:53, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- The BBC source clearly says "Islamic sharia law accepted (and accepts) sex slavery" It's not practiced widely just like marring four wives is not practiced widely.http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/slavery_1.shtml#h2 --Dustylappss (talk) 20:59, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hijab, Islamic banking laws, even praying five times a day are not part of typical modern Islamic family life, so do we remove all those parts also?--Dustylappss (talk) 21:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- ISIL, Boko Haram, Taliban and many others are making their "Modern" families large by enslaving millions of slave women. You don't see Christians enslaving millions of women in modern times.--Dustylappss (talk) 21:24, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Do you have a reliable source that says that ISIL or Boko Haram represent *typical* Islamic "family life"? Every source I've seen refers to those movements as fringe or extremist. It would be fair to talk about those groups' treatment of women in the sections on those groups, or in the discussions of Islamic fundamentalism. But, as I said, placing it in a generic "family life" section, *by that placement*, makes an editorial statement that Wikipedia believes slavery to be a typical or normal part of Islamic family life. That's not appropriate. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:28, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- A possibly better place for this disputed section might be Women_in_Islam#Sexual_crimes. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's not about what's typical today, it's about what Islam says regarding sex slaves. And though it's common sense that if you have children with slaves, they are part of your family. There are many reliable sources such as this: [3], that explicitly state that sex slaves are considered part of family according to Islam
- What you removed from Islam had been in the article for a long time. This was the first time https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Islam&diff=643046623&oldid=643011266 it was removed, and immediately restored. Since then many editors showed objection to removing it. So until consensus is reached, the material stays. Please self-revert and discuss on talkpage. Thanks--Dustylappss (talk) 21:39, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've now been reverted twice by editors other than you, so I am going to follow WP:3RR. If another editor than myself removes the disputed section, I suggest that you also follow WP:3RR. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:44, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've reverted that edit and given CallAng a final warning. I've also posted a request for comment on Talk:Islam. I'd like to see some other editors weigh in besides the six or seven who have been conducting the discussion so far. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:06, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Deletion of Mainstreet Technologies page
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki, I'm wondering why my page "Mainstreet Technologies" was deleted. In the rationale, you listed "unambiguous advertising." However, the language and style used on the Mainstreet Technologies page was very similar to the pages for other Canadian polling firms (ie. Forum Research). Furthermore, there were multiple references (with more to be added), which stands in contrast to pages of other Canadian polling firms, which have almost none (ie. Nanos Research and Ipsos-Reid). Mainstreet Technologies is a legitimate polling company, and several other Wikipedia pages (ie. Toronto mayoral election, 2014, Peel Region municipal elections, 2014, 29th Alberta general election etc.) reference Mainstreet multiple times, with hyperlinks to the page. Please kindly let me know what needs to be done to the page to get it back up. Alexanderecohen (talk) 20:58, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Unlike the Forum Research article, the Mainstreet article was written in language like this: "Mainstreet offers a suite of political services to candidates at all levels of government, all across Canada", and repeatedly talked about what Mainstreet "offers" to its customers. I have no problem with the article if it is rewritten more neutrally. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:15, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I understand. Can the page be reinstated so I can edit it? Alexanderecohen (talk) 22:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- The text is now in your userspace at User:Alexanderecohen/Mainstreet Technologies. I also noticed a lot of citations to Mainstreet's own website. You want to cite independent sources instead, see WP:RS. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:38, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Can it be reinstated now? I changed the wording. Alexanderecohen (talk) 01:22, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- The text is now in your userspace at User:Alexanderecohen/Mainstreet Technologies. I also noticed a lot of citations to Mainstreet's own website. You want to cite independent sources instead, see WP:RS. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:38, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- I appreciate the change to the wording. I have also, however, looked at the sources you cited. None of them are articles about Mainstreet itself. Most are merely reports of Mainstreet's polling results. A couple say that Mainstreet's results were the most accurate in the Toronto mayor's race. But this is all the sort of incidental coverage that doesn't confer notability. Look at WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:37, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
You deleted my page
[edit]I am attempting to make a page for an alumnus of Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School (Kyle Pina). Rather, I attempted, until you deleted it. Kyle is viewed as a prominent member of his community and is often referenced by his area's school district. A page for his work and experiences hitherto would allow for current students in the district to gain a greater understanding of the figure they hear so much about.

Regarding "Slavery and "Family Life" -- request for comments"
[edit]Would not it be better to temporarily remove the object of the dispute, waiting for other users to express themselves?? Some of the point raised by Dustylappss, like the extremist online preacher or the openwiki, have already been dismissed for not being realible sources. Others use the news in a distorted way: for example in the openwiki linked by Dustylappss news regarding sex traffcking crimes are part of the section "Muslim Statistics (Slavery)": is a blatant manipulation, like describing the romanian's woman sex traffcking in Europe "Orthodox Statistics"! And so on. A BBC link we're provided to explain the reason why te slavery thing must stay; i provided multiple resources proving that slavery it's not part of modern islam, it's not part of muslim family life and it's condemned in every form by the highest Muslim authorities, and that both muslim and western scholars dismissed the position of groups like isis, boko haram and others extremist ideology. It seems to me that this point about slavery being pushed despite all evidence to the contrary, for this reason I ask whether it would be better to intervene? Thanks for your time. CallAng222 (talk) 20:01, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
