: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).

== Translations of textimonies == | |||
[http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Waterlily_-_Voormalige_Moslem] For example. We can have a template note at the top of each testimony saying: | |||
:This is a translation of the original <nowiki>[[</nowiki>link|English testimony]]. | |||
Link can go to the English page. The English one can have a note at the bottom saying | |||
:This testimony has been translated into <nowiki>[[</nowiki>link|Afrikaans]]. | |||
That will be easier than putting it in the Infobox. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 01:25, 12 January 2015 (PST) | |||
:Cool. I've made two templates now ([http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Template:Testimony-translation-afrikaans][http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Template:Testimony-translation-english]). We'll need to get the first one translated into Afrikaans. About the second (English) one; could you please add that as an optional parameter to ''template:apostate-top'' like you have with the ''source='' thing? It would look much better without it being separated by that giant gap (the gap is in the original one obviously to provide a little space between the "legal" or "informational" stuff and the actual content).

== Additional translation links for Russian articles == | |||
Looking back I think I didnt have the best idea to keep Russian articles linked different by saying "for other languages see the links on the left". It would have been better to keep them all in the same place (unified) at the bottom of the page like we say it for other languages. Oops. Oh well. If you agree maybe that can be fixed one day for all the translations. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 17:51, 7 February 2015 (PST) | |||
:Yeah, I definitely agree. We should look to fixing that in the future. [[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 02:59, 10 February 2015 (PST) | |||

== Translation steps == | |||
I wonder if this section can be moved to the top or bottom [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Instructions_for_Translators#Steps_for_a_Translation] and expanded to be a good checklist of the stuff that needs to be done (taking stuff from what that page says but in shortened bullet form). This way the translators themselves can follow that checklist and make all the changes. There can be sub-bullets too like 1.1 or 1.a, 1.b.. or just bullets under an existing bullet (* and then ** will make it a sub-bullet). --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 10:12, 10 February 2015 (PST) | |||
:I think the way the page is set up right now is good because it covers pretty much everything, and it does it in the right order, and even splits it up into bite-sized stages. So if translators actually read the page, they couldn't go wrong. However they'd have to actually read the thing in the first place. So yeah, maybe a "Summary" section at the top of that page (or maybe even putting it back [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Translations#Help_and_Guidelines here]?) would encourage that. I dunno. Maybe it will discourage new translators from ever reading the indepth part? Anyways, I'll try to write something up soon when I get time and we can see what it looks like.

::Cool. Either place would be good. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 18:17, 10 February 2015 (PST) | |||
== Shia hadith == | |||
I dono if we discussed this before. But if i want to add Shia Hadith, where is the right place? [[User:Saggy|Saggy]] ([[User talk:Saggy|talk]]) 23:16, 14 February 2015 (PST) | |||
:Hi Saggy. No we haven't discussed this before. And I don't think anyone has ever suggested/tried adding Shi'ite hadith to any pages before. I don't know how we would approach that. One thing we can't do is add Shi'ite hadith to pages with Sunni hadith or even to pages that discuss mainstream (i.e. Sunni) Islam. Doing so would undermine the credibility of those pages (they will be dismissed out-of-hand by Muslims with something like "LOL they use Shia hadith. Shia aint Muslim XD".). Shi'ite's are a minority so criticism of their religion is not really that high on the importance factor, but if it was done, it would probably be best confined to their own dedicated pages (they could then be linked from the [[Shiites|Shi'ites]] hub page).

== Highlight in RC for unchecked edits == | |||
I want to remove the Yellow and bold that comes for the unchecked edits. I think its too strong/annoying. http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Special:RecentChanges . What do you think? We could just have it in normal text. | |||
The yellow/bold creates some kind of pressure as if its urgent and has to be done right now which is not the case. So yea I think I'll remove that. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 05:05, 14 March 2015 (PDT) | |||

There's probably more bugs in it that I dont know of. [http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Taurat&diff=111843&oldid=111842 There] I put the name in the 'link desc', just to make it work but it should really be in the Author field. Hopefully I'll fix it some day. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 16:43, 14 March 2015 (PDT) | |||
:::Oh okay. Actually, I think the fact that you can put miscellaneous text in the desc field makes this template perfectly usable. Because if an "author" name is ever needed in an external link, then by default the editor who adds that link should also be providing us with the article's publisher and publication date. When those three fields are filled, the template works as intended. It's like with our citeweb template. Just because it can be used with a single field filled, does not mean that it is allowed on WikiIslam. As stated on WikiIslam:Citing Sources, the minimum parameters that should be used are: url= | title= | author= | publisher= | date= | archiveurl= | deadurl=no/yes. I will edit the instructions on that template to let editors know. [[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 16:59, 14 March 2015 (PDT) | |||
::::Yea sure it can be used if those fields are filled out. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 07:58, 15 March 2015 (PDT) | |||

== Sunnah.com == | |||
What do you think about the reliability of sunnah.com? I havent looked into it. Their [http://sunnah.com/about About] page doesnt say much about who is behind the site etc. Its still a nice site though. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 17:59, 22 April 2015 (PDT) | |||
:I've never had a problem with it, but some people say they soften translations don't they? They even say on the About page that the text has gone through two stages of "cleaning". They mention one stage is correcting typos, but they leave you hanging on what that second stage is. However, it's an Islamic site so anything we use from there won't be accused of being "fake". So I think it's okay as a backup or when nothing better is available. We already use it for the hadith collections that are not on USC-MSA. Our FAQ says "The English translations of Al Tirmidhi, Al Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah are all taken from Sunnah.com." Obviously I archived every single page for each of those hadith collections and our templates link to these archives (this way they cannot delete or alter hadiths). It's come in quite handy for me actually. The set of Ibn Majah hadith they copy/pasted include the hadiths grading and I [[Responses_to_Apologetics_-_Muhammad_and_Aisha#There_is_1_hadith_that_says_Aisha_.22never_saw_the_private_parts_of_Muhammad.22|used it to debunk]] an apologetic argument against Muhammad's pedophilia and simultaneously pointed out how those who use this argument are knowingly propagating false information.

::Ok. Yea ''"So I think it's okay as a backup or when nothing better is available."'' - I agree too. I will try to make an archive anytime I use it. That's pretty good information in that Aisha link, all referenced etc. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 18:40, 26 April 2015 (PDT) | |||
== Sandbox article on extremist violence == | |||
I have a feeling you might not like [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Sandbox/Wartime_sexual_violence_by_Islamic_terrorists] but we can just use the references for the attacks and use them somewhere else. I think the term Rape Jihad should not be used or given much attention to so I changed the title. In any case its just a sandbox article and it has disclaimers at the top and its text can be used later for anything. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 05:49, 19 May 2015 (PDT) | |||
