Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, Maq25, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Byzantine–Arab Wars does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Favonian (talk) 12:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Muhammad, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. ''Do not remove the images from the Muhammad page. This issue has been extensively and exhaustively discussed. Wikipedia is not censored; images are not removed just because some find them offensive. If you would like more information, please see the FAQ that discusses the issue extensively.'' Sleddog116 (talk) 14:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Muhammad, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Favonian (talk) 15:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Muhammad, you may be blocked from editing. Please read the message left in the above caution, and information contained in Talk:Muhammad about why your edits are considered disruptive. Singularity42 (talk) 15:12, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Explanation of Images of the Prophet
Peace be with you.

I see you have recently come on the article about the Prophet and removed images with the edit reason:

"Respectfully, I am having an issue with an article "MUHAMMAD" at WIKIPEDIA.I am a Muslim and representative of Islam.I am having problem with the images of our beloved Prophet uploaded in the article.The images of the Holy Prophet are not used any where"

The conundrum here is that this site's policy is secular, i.e. not founded on the principles of Islamic doctrine. Its policies, such as neutrality on all subjects (including sacred ones) and no censorship even for reasons of religious sensitivity or moral decency are held quite firmly, largely due to the largess of conflicting religious perspectives on such things.

An example often cited in this matter are the religious beliefs of a tribe of Native Americans that all photographs are evil, for instance.

While I as a Baha'i myself do not approve of these depictions of the Prophet, for both reasons of respect and reasons of the mistaken idolized impressions such images can give, I assure you that this is not done out of malice or an intentional desire to disrespect the teachings of Islam, and that as often as the addition of honorifics and image removals and people's personal praises are reverted, twice as many times those same editors are reverting the slander and abuse and insults infidels besiege these topics with.

I hope this clears some things up. Peter Deer (talk) 16:10, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
