Polytheism isn't normally upper case
See polytheism where you will see that both polytheism and monotheism are lower case except at the beginning of a sentence. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:25, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, we don't cite the Quran for interpretations or other statements about history. We cite secondary sources. I have reverted your edit in persecution of Muslims. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Referring to them as "polytheists" is just a description of their actual religion, and is demeaning to them, either capitalize it, or switch all incidence of polytheists to "pagan" (since some would have only worshipped 1 idol anyways). To call them Polytheists instead is like calling muslims theists or muhammadists
 * Secondly you are removing important context as to why the Pagans defended themselves from muslim aggression, it is difficult to find historical accounts of the Pagan's perspective because of limited literacy at the time and biased muslim historians that persisted to this day, but this is what the muslims themselves agree was said at the time, i will try to find secondary sources in addition but the quran is relevant in this case Ibn Sa&#39;d ibn Abi Sarah (talk) 20:46, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And yet Wikipedia uses lower case. You could always go to the article and try to change the case there. But you won’t succeed. Doug Weller  talk 08:57, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Paganism and polytheism aren't names of specific religions, but collective terms used to describe a class of religions with non-Abrahamic origins. These are common nouns, not proper nouns; therefore, they are not capitalized. Please stop edit-warring on this point; it will result in your account being blocked to prevent further disruption. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:26, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Amazing stubbornness. CIR? Doug Weller  talk 09:01, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I conceded to polytheist not being capitalized, but Pagan is a religion(even if it's a generalized description of the numerous religions practiced), you even capitalized "Abrahamic" just now which is also just a category of other religions, "Neopagan" was also capitalized before I edited on this site. Stop being biased against Pagans, they are as deserving of respect as any group, or are you muslim and think they are the "lowest of creatures" ? Ibn Sa&#39;d ibn Abi Sarah (talk) 16:27, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Sarah You're being a bit over the top, no one is biased against pagans, one of my favorite authors is Ronald Hutton. But "pagan" should be lower case as it is in Paganism. And most reliable sources if not all. Doug Weller  talk 16:46, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * In the Hutton article you shared the terms "Pagan" and "Paganism" are both sporadically capitalized, my edits here and in the Paganism article serves to give consistency and neutrality, the status of the word is tainted by it's usage by Muslim/Christian authors who used it derogatorily and it conflated with lack of belief in their religion(ex Christians calling Muslims "pagans" for having similar practices, and Muslims calling Christians "pagans" for worshipping the trinity, in these cases "pagan" is more of an adjective to describe unorthodox behavior). If we are using Pagan to mean people who worshipped Hubal and other idols in the Kaaba then we are referring to a religion, if religions are capitalized Pagan must be capitalized. Ibn Sa&#39;d ibn Abi Sarah (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Paganism isn’t a specific religion. We go only by what reliable sources say, not editors’ opinions. By the way, Abraham os a person’s name, so has to be upper case and not a good example. Doug Weller  talk 17:52, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Criticism of Islam shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Criticism of Islam seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The caption “beloved prophet”, especially in the context of the article, is clearly an NPOV violation  Doug Weller  talk 08:35, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
