 ===Can anyone create a login id and contribute to this website?===
-Yes. Creating an account is free, allows you to remain anonymous and takes only seconds. You can also edit using an IP address but will have to enter an anti-spam CAPTCHA for every edit. <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=login}} Click here to create an account]. </span> Before editing, please see our [[WikiIslam:Message to New Users|message to new users]].
+Anyone without destructive and malicious intent is fully welcome to contact administrators and request an editor account. While there is, at present, a screening process (to help avoid the overwhelming bout of vandalism experience by WikiIslam in the recent past), anyone seeking to make genuine, constructive contributions - even if just grammar and formatting edits - is allowed to possess a fully-functional editors account.
-===I want to create an article criticizing atheism, Christianity or Hinduism. Can I start one?===
+===I want to create an article about atheism, Christianity or Hinduism. Can I start one?===
-No. We do not criticize any religion or world view other than Islam. Any such articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki mainspace. However, we do accept Evolution as a scientific fact.
+No. WikiIslam focuses solely on Islam. Any irrelevant articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki.
 ===I want to create an article proving Christianity or Hinduism is superior to Islam. Can I start one?===
-No. We do not endorse any religion or world view. Any such articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki mainspace.
+No. WikiIslam do not endorse any religion, worldview, or hierarchy thereof. Any such articles will be updated, deleted or removed from the wiki.
-We may, however, host articles refuting the more popular tu-quoque arguments and Islamic propaganda made against other faiths and world-views (for example; claiming Joseph, the husband of Mary, [[Joseph the Pedophile|was a pedophile]] so it excuses Muhammad's actions, or claiming Muhammad was predicted in [[Bhavishya Purana|Hindu scripture]] and [[Dasatir-i-Asmani|Zoroastrian scripture]]).
+Topics regarding other religious traditions are only allowed insofar as they are discussed in a comparative context with Islam, and even in such cases it is necessary that the Islamic perspective be the main focus of the article.
-The fact that we have pages discussing Christian, Hindu and Zoroastrian scripture does not in any way make us pro-Christianity, Hinduism, or Zoroastrianism, because we are not endorsing any of these scripture as truth or better than the Qur'an. We are simply clarifying misconceptions which are spread by Muslims to endorse ''their'' religion.
+===Can I write an article antagonizing Muslim immigration, multiculturalism, leftists or Barack Obama?===
-===Can I write an article about Muslim immigration, multiculturalism, leftists or Barack Obama?===
+No. Nor can you create articles promoting any of the above. This is not a political, let alone "[[WikiIslam:Frequently_Asked_Questions#Is_WikiIslam_a_right-wing_or_counter-jihad_site.3F|counter-jihad]]", wiki. WikiIslam's aim is to remain neutral towards issues of a political rather than religious nature. Any such articles will be updated, [http://www.wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Left-Islamist_alliance&action=edit&redlink=1 deleted] or removed from the wiki.
