Talk:Persecution of Muslims by Meccans

Garbage content

This is going to be fun. @Swingoswingo:, what makes you think that the source from Faith Freedom International is reliable? I'm not going to suggest that you go to the RS noticeboard lest they make an example out of you. More importantly, you've been spamming dozens of articles on Islam left and right with spurious tags and then using that as grounds to get rid of content you don't like (if you thought that was clever, it's not. We're fully aware of what you've been doing, and others have noticed too) This persona of being serious about sources and citations is not coherent with the one that cites a shitty reference like Ali Sina on Islam. The guy himself even admits that he is loser that no one buys anything he says: "even Western authors have fallen into this trap". Al-Andalusi (talk) 03:23, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia expects everyone to be civil, so please be so in your discussions and edit summaries. I challenge claims on the basis of the unreliability of sources like islamicity, islamicpaths, calltomonotheism, direct hadith quotes (primary sources), and contradicting or doubtful authors. My additions to this article are merely on the basis of above discussions. I would have no concerns if someone can contribute multiple, reliable, scholarly and most importantly neutral sources claiming that this persecution was as serious as some propagandists want the ever-gullible audience to believe. If we don't have any such sources, this article is well on its way to a notability tag or an AfD/merge. Since the mainstream scholars are out to justify the Muhammad–Aisha love story and plenty of similar things, what better can we expect from them? Of course I and many others look forward to sensible refutations of Ali Sina (are there any?) but i am not sure if that is possible here. Right now, I also don't see any point in raising the most obvious contradiction about who was the first martyr: Sumayyah or Bilal? But one more thing I hope the contributors to this article will highlight with sources is that: these people were persecuted because they were monotheists and were forced to revert to polytheism. Swingoswingo (talk) 19:16, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Long rant, and no attempt to establish the reliability of Ali Sina's reference. Removed. Al-Andalusi (talk) 23:37, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

A thousand and one vandalism

@Al-Andalusi Having problems with a user I think you're familiar with. He has a history of adding "better source needed" tags, "further clarification needed" tags removing text, even when they have been sourced. He also has been nitpicking what to include in the source. In this case, he's not removing text with source. The Sealed Nectar is not an unreliable source. I don't want to start a personal attack but his accusation of Taqqiya in the info part of the history of this article speaks louder than words. I think there should be greater attention put on the editting history of this user. When it comes to this article, my proposal is to restore the sourced claims. Even the one which has sunnipath but include a tag. CaliphoShah (talk) 09:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

If true, you can revert the Sealed nectar claim. I have no problems with a proven and accepted RS (even if it lies). But I suppose reinserting other unsourced content with Sealed Nectar is against our rules. Here is the message from a mediator in this dispute: [1]. Swingoswingo (talk) 10:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

How is sunnipath, islamic paths, way2islam, etc. reliable? The same question I had posted above. Swingoswingo (talk) 10:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Caliphoshah, if you had issues with any edit summary, you could have raised it immediately. If you are hurt by the word taqiyah, no offence intended but one can easily get hurt or offended by the word caliph itself once they know the current caliph. Swingoswingo (talk) 10:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm nt surprised at all with your use of the word "vandalism" everywhere in this matter. Even veteran users have used this word at the drop of a hat and got away with it. Swingoswingo (talk) 10:12, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

How is this a vandalism revert? Swingoswingo (talk) 10:29, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Sunnipath may not be reliable but that doesn't mean you can remove it. Just include a "better sources tag", unlike the other times you've put those tags just to remove the text. I was not offended by the accusation of Taqqiya, rather I'm glad you made the accusation since it saves me trouble of looking for evidence to accuse you of anti Islam bias. Other users have already brought this up about you. It's clear you have an agenda. Your comments in the Islamic Golden Age talk page say as much. Now this may seem like a personal attack but it is more of a personal accusation that matters since your edit history is nothing but deleting huge swaths of text. Your comparison regarding the word Caliph makes no sense, stop trying to act like you had no bigoted intent here.

It's vandalism because of your edit history that seeks to remove as much information you don't like about Islam. I've documented your tactics and the way you've removed swaths of information. Thankfully veteran editors have stopped you from doing it. Honestly, there is no reason to even discuss this with you as you've been doing it for over 2 years and it's not like you're going to change your ways. You're clearly going against WP:Vandalism policy where vandalism is defined as "editing (or other behavior) deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia, in a variety of languages, presenting the sum of all human knowledge."

"The unexplained removal of encyclopedic content, or the changing of such content beyond all recognition, without any regard to our core content policies of neutral point of view (which does not mean no point of view), verifiability and no original research, is a deliberate attempt to damage Wikipedia.' " CaliphoShah (talk) 10:46, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Lol, so the anti-vandalism folks were snoring for 2 years? I am disrupting the purpose of the wiki? I am correcting the wrongs dear.

Today I read a humorous policy/guideline page. It laughs at how much editors can argue over rather small edits. You proved it right. Swingoswingo (talk) 11:00, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Many pages you edited were inactive and so people didn't pay much attention to you then. And you've had plenty of your edits reverted. The edits you have been doing have been in no way small.

If Al-Andalusi doesn't respond, I'll just restore the sourced claims (reliable or not) instead of everything. CaliphoShah (talk) 11:05, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

"Sunnipath may not be reliable but that doesn't mean you can remove it. Just include a better sources tag, unlike the other times you've put those tags just to remove the text." Really? I quote WP:UNSOURCED "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. Whether and how quickly material should be initially removed for not having an inline citation to a reliable source depends on the material and the overall state of the article." I have left tags for days, months, and years, dude. But I am not surprised you sound like Andalusi is your yardstick of right and wrong. Swingoswingo (talk) 11:16, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

There were unreliable tags as well, so you will still restore sunnipath and islamicpaths? What about their Islamic agenda? Everyone knows their agenda but just doesn't want to admit. By defending them, don't you have an agenda too? Swingoswingo (talk) 11:24, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

I have seen plenty of editors remove the cn tags without justifying it and it's for many years. What is their agenda? Spreading lies by letting them stay (unsourced or whatever). Swingoswingo (talk) 11:32, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Key word is "may be" in "may be unreliable". And even if those were not reliable, any other user removing those claims wouldn't be an issue. But you have repeatedly shown to have a bias. "What about so and so" is not a valid defense because it's not about other users. Heck, you've removed reliable sources because you didn't like them and because the pages weren't mentioned. And I'm not defending those sources, I'm just not buying your trigger happy removal of texts.

And read the quote again, "whether and how quickly material should be initially removed for not having an inline citation to a reliable source depends on the OVERALL STATE of the article". In other words articles with little info like this one that gives little activity should not have those claims removed. Putting tags for just days, weeks and even months is not enough for an article like this. Heck, the average wiki article won't survive if content was removed days after tags were put. CaliphoShah (talk) 11:40, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Basically, allow the lies to stay. Isnt it?

In fact you are very likely to be a sock puppet of Andalusi. I apologize in advance if such allegation is not allowed coz I could not find any doc that prohibits it. Swingoswingo (talk) 11:47, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Ah so you show your bias again. Who said anything about lies? A claim by an unreliable (or even reliable) source doesn't make the claim a truth or a lie. It seems you don't respect Wikipedia's policy. Refer to this page [2] on the difference between truth and verifiability.

Your accusation of me being a suckpuppet of a veteran editor is laughable and it's not helping your case. CaliphoShah (talk) 11:54, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Claims without sources can be removed anytime. Period. Swingoswingo (talk) 12:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Is it my fault that random trolls add unreliable sources? Should I run from noticeboard to noticeboard and project to project looking for veterans and admins to take permission? And how is it my fault if the policy you quoted above is not elaborated on when to remove the claims. I see the overall state of many articles as abandoned. Should I wait for 5 years after tagging them so that someone will quietly remove the tags? Take rest today. Swingoswingo (talk) 12:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Again, we're talking about claims with sources that you have removed here. Try to keep up.

Careful with the accusations. I can easily claim you're a troll who has a history of removing sources that are reliable. Why should anyone take your claim for granted? The policy doesn't have to be elaborated. It's common sense. Yes you should wait those 5 years, or at least start a discussion the talk page so people know of your behavior. Even administrators do this sometimes. You haven't been adding anything informative and I've had to educate you on policy. Take your own advice about resting and stop vandalizing articles related to Islam. CaliphoShah (talk) 12:12, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

It is you not me who re-added lots of unsourced content by crying "vandalism". Swingoswingo (talk) 12:16, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

You yourself said up above that my removals were in no way small. That's all the more valid reason to remove them within weeks rather than years. Swingoswingo (talk) 12:20, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

I don't care if "vandalism" offends you to the point where you're projecting your emotional state. The unsourced claims were found in the linked articles anyway. My issue with you is your history of vandalism where you have removed sourced text and you've done that in this page, so your trying to play innocent is not working. It's like a robber who's been caught with the stolen goods, everyone can see what you did. I'll be editing and adding more info to this article (with sources). So a warning: Try to do anything you think is witty that ends up being vandalism, and I'm taking you to the noticeboard. I've already detailed lots of your activities before.

Your last claim makes no sense. Your edits are not small, that's why they should be more time for your edits to be justified. Removing large portions of text that were left intact for a long time should warrant explanation, especially when you're cutting a majority of an article.CaliphoShah (talk) 12:25, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
