Changes at Shi'a Islam in Tajikistan
Greetings, I saw your recent change, and though I agree you have provided sourcing for the claims of a change from 11 to 33 percent for the Shia there, I'm finding the sources pretty iffy. First off, the claim almost defies logic, as that many millions switching identity in a year seems unlikely barring absolutely massive social upheaval. Secondly, both your sources are using one "Fariddun Kabirov"/"Фариддун Кабиров" as their authority on the subject, and searches of that name under both spellings bring up nothing except this basic claim. If such a momentous change had occurred in the last few years, one would think major news media would be all over it, with coverage in BBC and Al Jazeera. Even failing that, if there were multiple news articles in Iranian, Russian, Indian, etc newspapers addressing the topic from different angles (not all just citing one single person of no clear credentials) then we'd have something credible.

As it is though, I'd say this is a case of "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". For the moment, I'm going to revert the additions of the Kabirov numbers to both articles, until we can drum up some clearer substantiation for this trend. We can always revert back to your version with the Kabirov numbers if need be, but for now I really don't think we can substantiate a sea-change in Tajik religion based on the analysis of one guy quoted in a few small online sources, per WP:FRINGE.

Please stop adding the Twitter and Liberal Conspiracy references on the Anne Barnes article. Neither are WP:RS - see WP:TWITTER and WP:BLOGS. If a Lib Dem national spokesman really admitted that they had backed independents in various areas, specifically identifying North Wales, Bristol and Kent, you should be able to find RS rather than having to rely on a Twitter post or a blog by political opponents.

Some of your contributions on this article have violated policies on WP:NPOV and WP:BLP but I have not reported you. If you continue with your biased edits I will have no choice.-- obi2canibe talk contr 16:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
