Abel Xavier's scandal

What, exactly, is the reason for not listing the unique characteristic of Abel Xavier being the first Premier League player to be found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs? Aside from that he's a completely unremarkable player. It's debatable whether he should even be listed here at all, frankly, since he converted late in his life. But if he is then we might as well list something unique about him. 96.59.49.49 (talk) 16:39, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Addition of misinterpreted material

I noticed that recent edits to Islam in Mozambique (like the one here) includes text that is not mentioned in the sources. For example, while this source by Deutsche Welle does mention the presence of slave traders in East Africa, it makes no claim that they were one of the two factors involved with spreading Islam in Mozambique (it also doesn't even name the country). I previously reverted that text and source for similar reasons. The second source seems not to work and I therefore can't verify it. The last source which is a book,is about Kenya, not Mozambique. Even the, it makes no such mention. Also, this editor removed this existing source which is an academic article written by a Islamicist that specializes in East African Islam. This source is more appropriate (and superior to at least the first source) and actually backs what the text says. The claim that Arab slave traders were one of the main factors behind the introduction of Islam into the area is simply not supported by the sources. I will revert these recent changes for the reasons cited. SlackingViceroy (talk) 23:47, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

The removal of the academic source in favour of a poorer source suggests that the reason for this edit was polemical and geared towards pushing a POV. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
