Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia! Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.

• Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
• The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
• Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
• Quick Introductions to:

• Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
• Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
• Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
• Uploading images — How do I add and use images?
• Navigating Wikipedia — How do I find my way around?

• What Wikipedia is not - even though everyone can edit it, Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia.

If you want to know more about a specific subject, Help:Help explains how to navigate the many help pages.

• Google: Wikipedia is very well indexed by Google. Searching for a term, even about an editing question, followed by "wiki" or "wikipedia" usually pulls up what you need.

Where next?

• If you wish to express an opinion or make a comment, Where to ask questions will point you in the correct direction.
• If you would like to edit an article, the Basic tutorial will show you how, and How to help will give you some ideas for things to edit.
• If you would like to create a new article, Starting an article will explain how to create a new page, with tips for success and a link to Wikipedia's Article Wizard, which can guide you through the process of submitting a new article to Wikipedia.
• For more support and some friendly contacts to get you started, the Editors' Welcome page or the Wikipedia:Teahouse page could be your next stop!

Isa (name)‎

Not going to change back your edits right now, but "th" to "sh" is a Canaanite change, not any kind of ordinary Arabic change... AnonMoos (talk) 22:16, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I know but when going from Thamudic(Old Arabic) to the Quraishi dialect, the Tha changed to Sheen, I gave the word Hairy for example. It used to be 'Atha but is now called 'Ashara. This could have been done for Jesus as well because the name y-sh-' is Thamudic and it naturally would have come from Yatha', which also means 'Salvation.'

You have added unsourced information to the article Isa (name).[1] Please could you add some citations, or it may be removed.--Toddy1 (talk) 08:21, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Prophets in Islam

The problem with edits is that they were unsourced. For example you stated that Adam is not a prophet but the fact that he is considered one by Islam was sourced. In the section on Ishmael you changed Mecca to Paran but that name is from the Christian Bible account. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 21:49, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

There is no reference to Adam being called a Prophet nor Messenger. The article Adam does not cite one verse in the Quran saying that Adam was such. Also, I quote: whom God spoke directly, and thus viewed as the first prophet of Islam." Even this does not say he is called a prophet.

You are correct in the Ishmael account, but it should be cited that this is from a Hadith by Ibn Abbas and not from the Quran.

The Quran is a WP:Primary source and the article has to rely on secondary sources, which are provided. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 02:50, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Toddy1. Thank you for the edit you did to the article on Abraham in Islam. Unfortunately, you did not say where the information came from. I have therefore reverted it. If you can find the source you got the information from, you are welcome to put the information back in, providing you add citations to reliable secondary sources. I think you can see examples of how to do citations in the article, so you do not need me to explain how to format them.--Toddy1 (talk) 07:49, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Prophets in Islam, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Job, Lot and Zechariah (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
