Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. Thank you.--Doc ask? 23:53, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

But putting the image in-line will not work. And do NOT revert again. Regards. Voice of  All T 23:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Questor, Muslims believe that pictures of Muhammad are forbidden. Sure, that doesn't apply to Wikipedia -- we should try to tell the truth fearlessly -- but in this case, the picture is not historically important, nor is it a photo. It conveys no information whatsoever and it seems to me that the only reason to add it IS to offend Muslims.

A similar problem in the Bahai article was handled somewhat differently. Actual photos of Baha'ullah do exist, but Bahai do not want to see them, lest this be taken as idol-worship. Hence the photos (which ARE information, and of interest to non-Bahai) are at the end of the article, I believe, so that Bahai can read the warning and stop scrolling.

 * Actually, how about pasting this near the end of the article:

Questor2
I will move the picture to the bottom, next to the other picture, and place a warning at the top of the article tomorrow evening. I would do it now, but I appear now to have been blocked by a zealot.

Actually, I should properly have said "iconoclast".


 * But the picture is NOT necessary. Why make such a big point of it? Contrast to the picture in Quran, with a shorts-clad woman gazing at at a page from a gigantic Quran commissioned by Timurlane. We've had Muslim zealots removing it continually (apparently the image of a woman in shorts next to a Quran offends) and the rest of us have been replacing it. We even had a guy who cropped the picture, so that the woman would be removed. But we insisted on the original image BECAUSE -- without the woman, you couldn't see the scale. The Qur'an could have been two inches high. There, the picture is information, and we've insisted on it. The picture of Muhammad you want to place is not information, but decoration. Decoration isn't necessary if it hurts feelings. It's like insisting on your right to wear that T-shirt with an obscene slogan (that your wife hates) to the church picnic, just to prove that no one can push you around! I'm a non-Muslim editor, and I asking you, please don't wear that obscene T-shirt to the church picnic. Zora 02:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice analogy..hehe..but Questor2, if do not want to get a trolling block by someone, then take my suggestion right above. Voice of  All T 03:17, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
