hi Burnum/RobSmith, welcome to the site. Even though you mention in the edit summaries that the articles you made ([http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Abu_Musab_al-Zarqawi for example]) were written mostly by you on rationalwiki, we still dont keep copies of any external content on our site. The reason being that the original copy is where the content should be maintained. The reader would rather go where the original content was created first. One solution is to have a short version on our site and link to external content from our page if the link is appropriate/properly sourced, all of this complying with our [[WikiIslam:Policies_and_Guidelines|guidelines]]. From what I've seen RW does not require sourcing their content. For our site if there's content that is not sourced and contains opinions that falls under [[essays]]. {{user|Sahab}} can expand more on this. | hi Burnum/RobSmith, welcome to the site.

We could also talk about what other content you have written and if we can make shorter versions of those and any other future plans e.g. if something catches your eye on the [[tasks]] page. Taking a quick look, your content at RW looks good at first glance but I havent looked at it in detail. In any case its good to have you join our site. Hopefully you have taken a look at our [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Message_to_New_Users Message to new users]. I'm going to leave some links here for Sahab: [http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Salafism Salafism at RW], your [http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/RobSmith&offset=&limit=500&target=RobSmith contributions at RW].--[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 22:18, 24 November 2014 (PST) | We could also talk about what other content you have written and if we can make shorter versions of those and any other future plans e.g. if something catches your eye on the [[tasks]] page.
