WikiIslam:Meet the Editors: Difference between revisions

{{user2|Sahab}}, [[User:Sahab/List of Works|User's List of Works]]  {{small star}}: Sahab is a former Sunni Muslim now agnostic from [[Asia|South Asia]] who joined the wiki in April 2009 and became an administrator in 2011. Although not a Christian himself, his "positive experiences with them have left a lasting impression" and he considers Jesus Christ to be "the height of moral excellence." Politically he is "left-leaning" and responsible for the site's coverage of LGBT issues. He edited heavily for 5 years (from April 2009 to April 2014), accumulating 47,000 edits (50% of all edits) that touched almost every page on the site. He created several hundred original articles, various original media files and templates and many original series that span several hundred more pages. As an administrator, he quality-controlled most of the site's edits (copy-editing, correcting and expanding as necessary), helped with decision-making, guiding newer editors and dealt with many other day-to-day duties. He helped to formulate and write the majority of the site's policies and guidelines, created its easy-to-navigate structure (site map, links, hub/core pages, layered categories, etc.) and helped shape its general direction. Offsite, he helped promote the wiki and networked with others to import several hundred more pages worth of articles (most of these were also copy-edited, corrected and/or expanded by him). In short, he is the most significant contributor to the site as of August 2014 and basically made WikiIslam into what it is today.

Atheistig: Atheistig is (as the name suggests) an atheist with two university degrees in Science. He has a strong interest in science and history, with the former being his profession and the latter his hobby. His interest in Islam lay within the 6^th-7^th century Syriac and Arabic legends and mythology and how they influenced the author of the Qur'an. Likewise, his contributions were concentrated on legends such as the [[Alexander Romance]], the [[Seven Sleepers]] of Ephesus and issues concerning the historicity of Prophet Muhammad.

{{user2|Sanitarium}}: Sanitarium is an atheist feminist from [[Australia]]. She administered the site over several years and contributed heavily to female-related articles. She also wrote the [[Islamic Prophecies]] series and recruited other editors such as Sahab.

Farside: Prophet Farside sometimes claims to be the founder of "Farsideology – the ultimate belief system." In reality, Farside is the original inspiration behind the site. He is the creator of the satirical [[Farsideology]] series on Islam and is one of the earliest editors of WikiIslam.

Natassia: Natassia is a Christian. Her contributions to WikiIslam concentrated on Islam's history and its treatment of Christians and Jews.

Khalil‎: Khalil is a former Sufi Muslim now atheist from the [[Middle East]]. He left Islam after witnessing a public, Shari'ah-sanctioned beheading. Although no longer a believer in the existence of gods, he retains a deep admiration for spiritual figures such as Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha. His contributions to WikiIslam focused on religious violence during Prophet [[The Timeline of Muhammad|Muhammad's liftime]] and his relationship with his child-bride, [[Aisha]]. He also helped with Arabic analysis within various articles.

THHuxley: THHuxley is a Scientific Deist and a prolific online debater. His work centers around the scientific field and so do his numerous contributions to WikiIslam. He once emailed Dr. William W. Hay concerning the infamous "This Is The Truth" video and received a prompt, personal reply informing him that Hay's beliefs had been misrepresented and his words cut and pasted out-of-context.

Hector‎: Hector is an atheist. Like THHuxley, he is a prolific online debater and most of his contributions to WikiIslam center around the scientific field.
