Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Islam/Muslim history task force

Project banner?

Is there some specific reason this task force has a separate banner, as opposed to using the existing {{WikiProject Islam}} banner? John Carter 18:27, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering the same thing - every other task force I've seen uses the banner of the parent. Walkerma (talk) 01:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Hijri dating

I suggest that all dates in Muslim history be dated, along the Common Era dating, with Hijri dates as well, because most events in Muslim history are dated in Hijri and the conversion to Gregorian is often inaccurate by one year sometimes two.

Mujir ud-Din Abaq

We need an article for Mujir ud-Din Abaq. Can anyone provide one, even just a stub? -- Secisek (talk) 20:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Um, it would help if you gave any indication what or who it is. Google comes up with nothing with that spelling. John Carter (talk) 20:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, he was a mid-XII century ruler of Damascus. His vizier was Mu'in ad-Din Unur. -- Secisek (talk) 21:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Muslim history

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 09:27, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

History of Sufism

This article might as well not exist in its current form. The history section of Sufism has more content than it does. :-( --Polymonia (talk) 02:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah

Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah was the third son of Imam Ali and a distinguished early Muslim. He did not join Husayn's expedition that ended at Karbala, and became for some years the public face of the house of Ali. He eventually died at Medina, and was buried there. Someone has greatly altered that section of the article, saying that Ibn al-Hanafiyyah escaped from Karbala by sea! and reached northern Burma, where he defeated the local queen, married her, and ruled with her, and eventually they died and were buried there. This seems to me at least as unlikely as that Ali was buried at Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. The trouble is that the person who introduced this story claims the authority of a book published in Iran. I am nowhere near being an expert in this field, and know neither the book nor the publisher. I will probably revert this article on grounds of obvious poppycock, but wish more knowledgeable people would lend a hand. The article should probably be in more categories.

Alhazen article under attack

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alhazen#Theology

First user Dougweller removed an entire section because he doesn't like Jagged_85. I stripped the section of all content but the quotes, as per Dougweller's instruction. Then another user, Johnuniq removed it again for trying to make it acceptable for Dougweller. It's like I'm in a game of keepaway. Editing it to meet one guy's standard will violate the other's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.37.21.141 (talk) 01:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Expert attention

This is a notice about Category:Islam/Muslim history task force articles needing expert attention, which might be of interest to your WikiProject. It will take a while before the category is populated. Iceblock (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Suleiman the Magnificent

I have nominated Suleiman the Magnificent for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. DrKay (talk) 17:29, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
