===Can anyone create a login id and contribute to this website?===


Yes. Creating an account is free, allows you to remain anonymous and takes only seconds. You can also edit using an IP address but will have to enter an anti-spam CAPTCHA for every edit. <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=login}} Click here to create an account]. </span> Before editing, please see our [[WikiIslam:Message to New Users|message to new users]].
Anyone without destructive and malicious intent is fully welcome to contact administrators and request an editor account. While there is, at present, a screening process (to help avoid the overwhelming bout of vandalism experience by WikiIslam in the recent past), anyone seeking to make genuine, constructive contributions - even if just grammar and formatting edits - is allowed to possess a fully-functional editors account.


===I want to create an article criticizing atheism, Christianity or Hinduism. Can I start one?===
===I want to create an article about atheism, Christianity or Hinduism. Can I start one?===


No. We do not criticize any religion or world view other than Islam. Any such articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki mainspace. However, we do accept Evolution as a scientific fact.
No. WikiIslam focuses solely on Islam. Any irrelevant articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki.


===I want to create an article proving Christianity or Hinduism is superior to Islam. Can I start one?===
===I want to create an article proving Christianity or Hinduism is superior to Islam. Can I start one?===


No. We do not endorse any religion or world view. Any such articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki mainspace.
No. WikiIslam do not endorse any religion, worldview, or hierarchy thereof. Any such articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki.


We may, however, host articles refuting the more popular tu-quoque arguments and Islamic propaganda made against other faiths and world-views (for example; claiming Joseph, the husband of Mary, [[Joseph the Pedophile|was a pedophile]] so it excuses Muhammad's actions, or claiming Muhammad was predicted in [[Bhavishya Purana|Hindu scripture]] and [[Dasatir-i-Asmani|Zoroastrian scripture]]).  
Topics regarding other religious traditions are only allowed insofar as they are discussed in a comparative context with Islam, and even in such cases it is necessary that the Islamic perspective be the main focus of the article.


The fact that we have pages discussing Christian, Hindu and Zoroastrian scripture does not in any way make us pro-Christianity, Hinduism, or Zoroastrianism, because we are not endorsing any of these scripture as truth or better than the Qur'an. We are simply clarifying misconceptions which are spread by Muslims to endorse ''their'' religion.
===Can I write an article antagonizing Muslim immigration, multiculturalism, leftists or Barack Obama?===


===Can I write an article about Muslim immigration, multiculturalism, leftists or Barack Obama?===
No. Nor can you create articles promoting any of the above. This is not a political, let alone "[[WikiIslam:Frequently_Asked_Questions#Is_WikiIslam_a_right-wing_or_counter-jihad_site.3F|counter-jihad]]", wiki. WikiIslam's aim is to remain neutral towards issues of a political rather than religious nature. Any such articles will be updated, [http://www.wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Left-Islamist_alliance&action=edit&redlink=1 deleted] or removed from the wiki.
