[[The Rising Star of Incompetent Muslim Science]] would look better and the site would also give a better impression if the title was changed to something more nuetral and the language was modified. Do our current policies say essays should not be changed? I'm thinking they could be changed if the material can be edited to more closely follow the [[WikiIslam:Article Style and Content Guide|Style guidelines]]. And then the author can still keep their name in the article. Happy holidays. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 17:21, 24 December 2014 (PST) | [[The Rising Star of Incompetent Muslim Science]] would look better and the site would also give a better impression if the title was changed to something more nuetral and the language was modified.

:Hi Ax. Thanks. I had a very Merry Christmas. Hope you did too. Yeah, I don't see a problem with administrators copy-editing essays for the sake of style. WikiIslam's essays policy ATM says, "If needed, essays/op-eds may be edited for relevance, clarity and language issues." So it would fit in with that, and it's hardly the same as another editor coming along and trying to alter the message/subject/focus of the essay (i.e. Sunshine).

::I've moved that page and all associated links to "[http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Quran_and_Modern_Science_%E2%80%93_Conflict_or_Conciliation Qur’an and Modern Science: Conflict or Conciliation?]", so at least the first issue is sorted.
