Talk:Mirza Masroor Ahmad

Frequently asked questions; please read before posting
If you are here because Google erroneously implied that this Wikipedia article says anything about the Caliph of Islam, do not post about it. This question arises frequently on the talk page concerning Mirza Masroor Ahmad.


 * How can you say he is the caliph of Islam? That is false!

Nowhere does the article claim that Mirza Masroor Ahmad is the caliph of Islam. His title is "Caliph" only within the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The first paragraph of the article explains this clearly.


 * Why was my request or comment removed?

Because of the frequency of meritless and disruptive requests from people who have not even read the article, any further requests to delete the page or a nonexistent claim will be removed without consideration, unless the request complies with all relevant Wikipedia guidelines, especially WP:Reliable sources.

This section is permanently on this talk page and does not get archived. It is for mobile-device users for whom the the normal talk page header is not shown.

Revert on sight?
People coming here protesting about false claims in this article are doing so only because Google somehow links to this article in a search for caliph of Islam. I think we should revert on sight such requests from the ignorant (I use that term because they obviously cannot be bothered to read the article). ~Anachronist (talk) 23:07, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added a small FAQ to the top of this page, similar to what is being done in Talk:Muhammad and Talk:Adam's Bridge to help stem the tide from drive-by requests. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:25, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it may be time to just start reverting on sight. At the most jaded level, if they can't be bothered to read anything else on the page, they won't bother to read a reply explaining the situation. —C.Fred (talk) 03:50, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
