1. Mistranslated Quranic verses - As an example Quran 5:38 is translated on free-minds.org as "cut from their resources", which is different from the actual meaning "cut off their hands". Explore all other possible Quranic verses listed in the Quran category, Top 10 Controversial Verses Concerning Women and Top 10 Controversial Verses in the Qur'an and compare translations to accepted translated like Yusuf, Shakir and Pickthall. These obscure translations distort the meanings of Quranic verses and are often used for apologetic purposes. Explore the sources and the people behind the free-minds website and those who wrote these translations.
2. Advice for editing Wikipedia - advice for following Wikipedia policies, how to create content and dealing with situations relating to criticism of Islam
3. IDebater (User:Axius/IDebater)- directed towards Muslims, this is a big project. See the link for more detail of what it is about. More information on the project will be posted later.
