==Scientific Errors in the Qur'an==
== Thanks ==


Hi Atheistig and welcome to WikiIslam. You have have made some massive changes to the Scientific Errors in the Qur'an page. These changes include removals and rewrites of entire sections. I would be very grateful if you could provide us with a thorough explanation to the reasons behind them. This is something that is needed before any of these changes can be accepted. Thanks.

Hi Atheistig. Just a quick thanks for the [[Quran and a Universe from Smoke|Qur'an and a Universe from Smoke]] article that has now been added to the new articles list. It's a great addition to the site. Also liking the Historicity of Muhammad article. I know it's in a very early state, but it looks good. I like the structure.

Hi Sahabah.  New to wikiislam and not sure if I should be responding to your comment here or on your talk page.  I was making my edits in response to a [[WikiIslam:Tasks#Qur.27an|Task]] to:
== Quran errors ==


{{Quote|Rewrite the sparse commentary on Scientific errors in the Qur'an, getting rid of the poor English, poor attempts at humor and generally unprofessional and arrogant approach}}
Hi Atheistig, you had worked on the Quran errors article and improved it a lot. I'm asking Saggy [[User talk:Atheistig|here]] what he thinks of re-organizing that page so we have more obvious Quran errors at the top and others in another section. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 11:02, 1 February 2014 (PST)


I've tried to improve the clarity of some of the comments including grammar and remove any arrogant or overtly condescending language. I'm also attempting to consolidate similar sections to reduce the size of the outline and put related content and references together.  I did remove a handful of minor points that were either weaker arguments or completely off topic.  This included Quran references that had no explanation as to why it was an error (and it wasn't readily evident from the text itself) or were weak (i.e "The Sun is not a star" section shows a verse that itemized the sun separately from stars but this doesn't imply the sun is '''not''' a star). In effect, I'm trying to improve quality over quantity. There's a ton of information on that article, some of it good some of it bad, and I think improving the good points (including adding reference and refutations to common apologist counter-claims) and removing the bad ones will improve the overall readability and information of that page.  I only updated less than 10% of the article and was hoping to improve other sections as well including rewriting the comments and reorganizing some points (like evolution) to be in the biology section, etc. --[[User:Atheistig|Atheistig]] ([[User talk:Atheistig|talk]]) 08:42, 14 November 2013 (PST)
I'm all for reorganizing to have the "better" stuff at the top and maybe the more borderline stuff further down.  Lead with strength! 
 
== Historicity of Muhammad ==
 
Hi Atheistig! Just letting you know that I've moved ''Historicity of Muhammad'' into the mainspace (with an added "under construction" tag). I doubt we'll get many people who will attempt to finish that page, or at least finish it in a form that would be acceptable. But you never know. I hope you become active again and finish that. Your work here was very good. If not, then I wish you all the best in whatever you do next. Thanks. [[User:Sahab|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 06:45, 12 February 2014 (PST)
 
Hi Sahabah,
 
I do plan to finish it.  Just been really busy at work lately and doing a lot of reading on the historicity of Muhammad.  Once things settle down here at work in the next few weeks, I'll have more time to continue my articles.  :-)

Historicity of Muhammad

Hi Atheistig! Just letting you know that I've moved Historicity of Muhammad into the mainspace (with an added "under construction" tag). I doubt we'll get many people who will attempt to finish that page, or at least finish it in a form that would be acceptable. But you never know. I hope you become active again and finish that. Your work here was very good. If not, then I wish you all the best in whatever you do next. Thanks. --Sahabah (talk) 06:45, 12 February 2014 (PST)

Hi Sahabah,

I do plan to finish it. Just been really busy at work lately and doing a lot of reading on the historicity of Muhammad. Once things settle down here at work in the next few weeks, I'll have more time to continue my articles.  :-)

That's great news. Really good to know that you're still with us. --Sahabah (talk) 17:29, 12 February 2014 (PST)
