WikiIslam:Policies and Guidelines: Difference between revisions

Generally, an article should begin with a short introduction that summarizes the most important content of the article. It should also end with a conclusion that does the same. The conclusion can also repeat in short the most important references in the article.

In general, content on WikiIslam should:

# not support any kind of fringe theories unsupported by the majority of evidence found in recognized translations of the Qur'an, hadith and quotations from Islamic scholars.  

# free from vulgar, offensive, or slang language. The only exceptions being the necessary translation of an Islamic word/phrase or possibly an article in the [[:Category:Humor|Humor]] category

# be written in a professional, scholarly manner, and should refrain from using sensationalist and extremist expressions and labels for maximum impact on the reader. Although it is very tempting to use dramatic and sensationalist language, it is best to let the evidence speak for itself. The same principle applies to humor and jokes. If you would like to contribute such articles to the wiki, keep them confined to the Humor category. See the [[WikiIslam:Article Style and Content Guide|Article Style and Content Guide]] for details and examples.

 

With the exceptions of translations, content written by new editors should not exceed 30KB (page history shows the size). This helps existing editors to review your content and make sure it complies with guidelines before any more new work is done.
