Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam/Islam and Controversy task force

This is a task force of WikiProject Islam dedicated to classifying articles for controversial topics related to Islam.

Mission objectives

This is a project aimed at increasing the quality of the articles related to Islam and Controversy and its related articles, elevating the articles to "Good article" standard, and then all the way to "Featured article" standard. The appropriateness of this task force is currently under debate on the talk page.

Improvements can be made by:

• Making sure all statements are sourced using the "<ref>source</ref>" model
• Making sure the articles follow the given standards.

As of 6/11/2007, we have 0 articles at the "Good article" standard and 0 at the "Featured article" standard.

{{WikiProject Islam|Islam-and-Controversy=yes}} is added to the top of the talk pages of any articles relevant to this project. This will make them appear on the Category:WikiProject Islam and Controversy.

Proposals for new articles

• Quintan Wiktorowicz - (Google) - he is an author of books on Islam and Terrorism related issues, and is an "Assistant Professor. Department of International Studies. Rhodes College". More information on bio
• Azam Kamguian not completely sure if notable, but if so, somebody should write an article about her.--Sefringle 07:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Temporary articles (work in progress)

This section is for temporary articles until they can be transfered over as actual articles. This is so that articles in their infancy are not nominated for an AFD.

• No temporary articles exist as of now

Proposed tasks

• Expand Tawfik Hamid
• Find reliable sources or translations for: Tahrir-ol-vasyleh - Arabic version available here
• Incorporate 2010–2017 Toronto serial homicides killer of men of South Asian or Middle Eastern origin into project. It appears many if not most victims are likely to be Muslim or children of the faith, article does not identify any Muslim victims or mention if it may have been part of his targeting motivation Bachcell (talk) 17:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
