:When replying, add one colon before you start the paragraph. If there is already somebody else's reply, every next reply must add one more colon. No need to write your name in the first sentence. You don't need any special knowledge of hadith. Just start reading and searching them for any topic. About sky: I think 22:65 should be in the same sky section but not Yusuf ali's words. Pickthall and shakir are correct because they dont write "rain" and it is not in the Arabic text. "Pillars" and "A piece of sky can fall on them" is present. Adding the same verses if they dont strengthen the article? Not sure but I was discouraged from doing it. Some sections will have a rolling list of verses. There is variety in the added sky verses so that each of them strengthen the claim of sky being a solid dome over earth. [[Flat Earth and the Quran]] article has most of the flat verses with Arabic word meanings.

::Ok, so there is a much more extensive page on the flat earth, but not a cross link from the scientific errors page. About completeness or not I prefer to be complete. It is after all supposed to be an encyclopedia. And you avoid discussions what verse should be cited. And when it is not about science but priorities one can get a better sense of what is important in the Quran. But I don't set the standard here. I think YUSUFALI was not a good choice as the main reference for wikiislam, he differs significantly from most other translators. It seems he tried to create something more acceptable. But I also realize that any choice has its problems and controversy. When adding a verse that is translated significantly different in different translations how to treat this? Since it is, I think rightly, practice here to cite only one translation here: YUSUFALI.--[[User:PW. Jansen|PW. Jansen]] ([[User talk:PW.

:::2. When has this site claimed it was only an encyclopaedia? As the [[WikiIslam:Policies and Guidelines|policies]] state, "''WikiIslam is not restricted to only being an encyclopedia of Islam. It is there for editors to make use of in contributing and arranging information about Islam in many ways. For example, compiling news, translating media, making lists, collecting images and videos, counter-apologetics, hosting online books and other documents, and so on.''" | :::2.

: No Axius, but I think organizing should start before it is complete. The Qur'an is the most authoritative source for Muslims, and if that part is up to level we can organize it, giving it headers, so searching is easier. Waiting with organizing until it is all complete would take too long, and would make the site less convenient to use. --[[User:PW. Jansen|PW. Jansen]] ([[User talk:PW.

PWJ emailed the site account and said he does not wish to contribute anymore. I mentioned again that for example the page was titled 'Quran hadiths and Scholars', so the logical thing is to have hadiths on the page. Yet he refused to acknowledge such a basic mistake or acknowledge the importance of Hadiths in Islam as mentioned by Sahab above. | |||
The website is [[What_People_Say_About_WikiIslam|well liked]] by people due to the hard work and attention to detail that existing editors have put into it. This would not be possible if they made basic mistakes and refused to acknowledge them. | |||
PWJ, good luck to you as well and thanks for visting. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 09:19, 23 September 2014 (PDT) | |||
