As per our relevancy document, in order to be covered on WikiIslam, a topic must be about "a belief or practice that is or has been widespread amongst Muslims, or does it chronicle the history of such a belief or a historical subject which is germane to such a belief." The Love Jihad article you created cites no examples of widespread practice of "Romeo Jihad" in the Muslim community nor any proof of widespread support or promotion of the practice by Islamic scholars and clerics, but rather cites examples of BJP governments in India passing legislation against the practice (and the articles cited actually bring up the fact that this is not a widespread practice which is actually happening). For this reason, it also violates WikiIslam's policies on article relevancy and scope. As with the above infraction, a further infraction will result in your permanent banning from WikiIslam. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me or [[User:IbnPinker]]. --[[User:Asmith|Asmith]] ([[User talk:Asmith|talk]]) 03:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC) | As per our relevancy document, in order to be covered on WikiIslam, a topic must be about "a belief or practice that is or has been widespread amongst Muslims, or does it chronicle the history of such a belief or a historical subject which is germane to such a belief."

:I thought it was enough to cite sources Alan. The, "Forced conversion to Islam" article was copied from a Wikipedia draft, I did not know that Gyaanipedia had put up the same content with a different first sentence. I will try to get [[User:IbnPinker]] to help from now on. I am sorry.—[[User:Raman|Raman]] ([[User talk:Raman|talk]]) 03:11, 30 November 2020 (UTC) | :I thought it was enough to cite sources Alan.

==Please never edit quotes with your own words== | |||
I reverted some changes to the jihad and kafir articles. The content looks ok, but as you've since learned, we have a policy against copy pasting from wikipedia, which in this case even had an unfinished sentence. As well as wanting to avoid plagiarism, there is a risk when copy pasting that errors are transplanted this way, and from past experience, cited sources often go unchecked when copy pasting. I then reapplied your removal of "This is not true" - a good application of the new policies. | |||
A very important thing to note is that we must never change translated verses, hadiths or other quotes with our own words (you added your own commentary "to Allah" and "according to Islam" in parentheses to the 9:5 in the Kafir article, I guess to emphasise that the Arabic words were salat and zakat). A reader would wrongly assume that this was part of Yusuf Ali's translation, which often has its own round brackets. Worse, the site would risk being accused of tampering with translations. The most we do is occasionally add square brackets (not round brackets) just with the transliterated Arabic word used. Then there is no risk of confusion. If something in a quote is mistranslated, we can add commentary and evidence before or after the quote.
