::Some interesting comments on Wikipedia's page for serif fonts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif#Readability_and_legibility.

==Quranists "right hand possess"== | |||
== Quranists "right hand possess" == | |||
Quranists claim that "ma malakat aymanuhum" in 23:6,70:30 and others are not "right hand possess" but it means "maintained by oath". They confuse "aymanuhum" with "aymanihim" and "aymanukum" with "aymanikum". It would be great if someone can write a complete refutation using Arabic. I have some dictionaries but Quranists refuse to accept them by calling them "influenced by hadiths". | Quranists claim that "ma malakat aymanuhum" in 23:6,70:30 and others are not "right hand possess" but it means "maintained by oath".

I noticed recently that wikipedia now has a Ref hover system where you hover over the ref number and it shows you the reference in a little popup and you dont have to go down to the references section. | I noticed recently that wikipedia now has a Ref hover system where you hover over the ref number and it shows you the reference in a little popup and you dont have to go down to the references section. | ||

:hi 124.171.143.31, thanks for your suggestion. Currently there's no plan for this. The best way to read the content is on the website directly because if a PDF is compiled, it will become outdated as changes are made on the website. Our articles also contain links and the PDF experience is less user friendly as compared to a website (where all activity happens within the browser, as opposed to switching between Acrobat and the browser). Its an extra feature but its not a high priority right now. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 08:19, 5 January 2013 (PST) | :hi 124.171.143.31, thanks for your suggestion.

I | I have to disable editing on this site while we move. I would say, watch out for the new site [http://178.79.176.33/wiki/Main_Page].

I'll post a discussion message there at some point. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 14:08, 10 February 2013 (PST) | ||

Hi Sepehr. Thanks for taking the initiative. But I don't think we'd be interested in that. We did have our own page and it was deleted. Maybe Axius will think differently (he'll probably comment later when he logs in). A fairly recent addition to the site is the [[WikiIslam:Translations|Translation Project]], so how would you feel about translating a few of our articles into the Persian language? Also you could create a sandbox: [[User:Sepehr/Sandbox]] and work on/submit some of your articles if you think they would be suitable for the site.[[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 05:12, 19 April 2013 (PDT) | Hi Sepehr.

:Sepehr, thanks for making that. I'll think about this. We need a new URL though. I'm assuming its possible to have multiple admins on a Facebook page.
