Hi 21fafs! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at List of films considered the best that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Please note that we only care that sources are reliable, your religious beliefs are irrelevant
And attempts to delete or change material can get you blocked. Doug Weller talk 21:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Doug, my religion has nothing to do with the edit I made. The article is called "Noah in Islam", not "Noah in the Ahmadiyya Faith." The source that was used to back up the claims there may be sufficient for the beliefs about Noah in the Ahmadiyya faith, but not so for Islam. Feel free to suggest a "Noah in the Ahmadiyya faith" article if you wish. 21fafs (talk) 21:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. Ahmadiyya sources clearly can't speak for all of Islam. No Islamic sect can. I wasn't bothered about that but about your removal of "pre-Islamic" on faith based grounds even when that is what the source says. We are a secular encyclopedia. Now I have to waste precious time reverting you if you've changed source text. Doug Weller  talk 07:11, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Why does your removal of "pre-Islamic incorrectly say " Also, the link does not say "pre-Islamic"
I'm baffled. The source says on p2, per the citation, "From The |Pre|-|Islamlc\ Era; Muhammad's Childhood And Earl’ Manhood". Doug Weller talk 07:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Let me explain. on Enos (biblical figure), there is a link to Qisas al-Anbiya (Tales of the Prophets). "Qisas al-Anbiya" does not translate to " tales of the pre-Islamic prophets", and the phrase "pre-Islamic" is not found on the article, yet that is what the text on Enos (biblical figure) reads. I edited it to "tales of the prophets." The phrase "pre-Islamic" is not found on Qisas al-Anbiya. As such, your revert makes no sense. The word "pre-Islamic" is unfounded for this context. 21fafs (talk) 17:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It’s in the source, that’s what matters. Doug Weller  talk 18:27, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

“ about Islamic” hides the fact that the link goes to about Pre-Islamic Arabia. im not sure what to do about your edits. Doug Weller talk 18:38, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Ok, that seems to be a mistake. You can change the link to link to Islam rather than to “pre-Islamic Arabia.” “Pre-Islamic Arabia” (which is an actual thing) doesn’t make sense on in the context on that page because Jesus (peace be upon him) didn’t live in Arabia. 21fafs (talk) 19:36, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
