Help me
I would like to get an answer for a problem I encountered a while ago. A few years ago I tried to make contributions to Allah topic, but all the changes I made got deleted by someone the next day. I did it again and it was deleted again and since I didn't know how to handle the situation I gave up. Is there a way to protect the changes I make from other people? Thank you.

 * The short answer is "no". It is fundamental to the whole way that Wikipedia works that it is normally open to editing by anyone, and nobody has the right to "protect" their own contributions from other editors. Normally, the way to deal with disagreements with other editors about article content is to discuss the issues, and try to reach agreement, or failing that at least a compromise version that all parties are willing to accept. If agreement is not reached, but there is broad consensus among a number of editors, that consensus takes precedence over outlying opinions. There are methods of trying to resolve disputes when simple discussion among the editors involved fails to achieve consensus. Exceptions to this exist the case of obvious vandalism and other blatantly disruptive editing by particular editors, who may be blocked from editing, but the description you give reads as though it refers to a disagreement over content, rather than vandalism. However, without knowing what particular editing you are referring to, it is obviously impossible to comment on the particular case. One more point is that the subject you mention, being a religious one, is very likely to be contentious. An important point to bear in mind is that a Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view, and articles on religious topics are often subject to attempts by particular editors to impose their particular beliefs. An article on a religious topic should not present the point of view of any particular group of people as fact. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:22, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
