End Time

Hello Azhar Mehmood. I had several issues with your edit at End time which I mentioned in my edit summary. First, you placed it as a subsection under Norse religion. It's clearly not part of the Norse system. Second, while I don't claim to be an expert in religion, especially Islam, your section appears to me to be about Islamic end time events. There is already a section for that on the page. If your edits represent a different view within Islam then it needs to be part of the Islamic eschatology article and only summarized here. If this "Religion of God" represents a distinct religious movement then it needs its own section and given that it would appear to be a pretty obscure religious group would still need to cut down in size in order to fit better with the rest of the article. Finally, while I didn't mention this in my edit summary, the tone of your edit comes across more as proselytizing or sermonizing than it does encyclopedic which would need to be fixed as well.

Religion of God

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Religion of God, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.theallfaith.com/religion.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:58, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Religion of God

A tag has been placed on Religion of God requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sufism

Hello Azhar Mehmood. Just so you know, my name is not actually Mr. Gibbon — my user id is just letters chosen at random and shuffled to get something that is pronounceable. 1) The first line of the Sufism article reads "Sufism or taṣawwuf (Arabic: تصوّف‎) is the inner, mystical dimension of Islam". Your claim is that Sufism predates Islam, if this is true then the article needs a major rewrite since it is built on the assumption that Sufism exists as a part of Islam. In that case you need to discuss your proposal on the Talk page for Sufism. 2) The article is specifically about Sufism as practiced within Islam whereas your contribution is about spirituality in general and therefore does not belong. Again, if you feel the two are equivalent concepts then that first needs to be discussed on the Talk page. 3) Finally, and most troubling, you seem to be using Wikipedia to promote a specific religious belief you hold (which is a point I made before). If this is not the case, I apologize, but looking through most of your edits it certainly seems to be true. Obviously Wikipedia is not the place for promoting any belief system. SQGibbon (talk) 17:12, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Again, your rationale for the edit runs counter to how the article stands now, so it would be best to discuss it on the Talk page first. Also, you rhetorically asked the question "if the information on Wikipedia is not truth then what's the point.". Wikipedia is not actually about the truth, what it aims for are well-sourced claims from reliable sources from a neutral point of view. If these things are the truth then great, but that's no why we're here. It's helpful to read this essay WP:Truth. And while Wikipedia does want to have many different points of view, we must careful to not apply WP:Undue weight on any of them. For instance, your views on Sufism seem to be in very small minority and it's not clear to me that they are significant enough to warrant inclusion in that article. Here's a quote from that Jimbo Wales "If a viewpoint is held by an extremely small (or vastly limited) minority, it does not belong in Wikipedia regardless of whether it is true or not and regardless of whether you can prove it or not, except perhaps in some ancillary article." But if you feel they are significant enough then I suggest taking it to the Sufism Talk page first and try to build a consensus. SQGibbon (talk) 05:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Allah

The Allah article is semi-protected, meaning that only users with at least 10 edits and at least 4 days old user account can edit the article. At the time you wrote the question your user account was only 3 days old. Now you should be able to edit the article. --Jhattara ^{(Talk · Contrib)} 05:36, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
