Divine call, Al-Muqtana Baha'uddin
edit( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that entry into the Druze faith has been prohibited since Al-Muqtana Baha'uddin ended the Divine call in 1043 CE?

Can you link to the nomination page not the article in future? It avoids having to manually create the link to check the review. Interesting articles! Is Druze a sect or a faith? You have both in Al-Muqtana Baha'uddin. The hook ref in divine call 404s, but its fine in Al-Muqtana. The latter is also classed as a stub. The stub thing needs fixing, the rest are just comments. They are new enough, long enough, well referenced etc. Secretlondon (talk) 17:33, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing. I've changed it from stub to start class and removed the reference to Druze as a sect, which it isn't. Technically, I guess you have to be a splinter group within a religion to be a sect and Druze is a religion unto itself. I have also revised the lede of Divine call, which was taken from the Makarem source "The Druze Faith", which is a book I do own. I've copied the original Druze source that Makarem has cited in that book along with the source from Al-Muqtana that confirms the hook to back it up. Hopefully this will be all problems solved. Let me know any other concerns. Cheers. Paul Bedson ❉talk❉ 23:07, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

- It's looking better. End of second para in divine call needs a ref at the end, and the hook ref in divine call is still broken. Secretlondon (talk) 07:05, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Which hook ref seems broken? They all seem to work for me. The Makarem one won't preview though. With regards the end of the 2nd paragraph, I am glad you highlighted that as it wasn't reading quite correct. Al-Hakim may have been convinced of his soteriological divinity but never declared it if he did. That was down to Ad-Darazi and co, so I've changed the sentence to better convey that.

- Erickson, the last ref in divine call, 404s. Secretlondon (talk) 18:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, gotcha! Thanks again. It's all fixed now and I've improved that last sentence a bit with an extra reference from a Syria guidebook too. Paul Bedson ❉talk❉ 00:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
