:Thinking about it, having the more general articles translated could have a very negative effect. For example, I remember the "Top 10 controversial verses" was on this list a while ago (an article that is not very well written at all). I think this has also been translated into a few languages. However, since none of the other more indepth articles on each verse has been translated, it can be easily "debunked". So anyone who doesn't read English would think our arguments on that page are weak (because they're bound to have read the many counter-arguments by Muslims that are not covered on that page).

::''"If my memory is correct, I don't think that ever was marked as an essay, but having a quick look at it, it would probably be more suited as one."'' - oh ok, yea. That sounds good because its tone probably has to be revised. The changes can be good additions to the [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Article_Style_and_Content_Guide style guide]. Yea I guess this article is far from being a translation candidate. It would need a lot of work to be good quality and also stand alone (have some kind of short summaries of "responses to apologetics" for example). --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 17:08, 19 October 2014 (PDT)
