Hi 1234567. Since the article is very large, I think once you're done, it's best to split it into several pages (a page for each wife etc.). You can see examples of this (we call them "in-depth studies") [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Concerns_with_Islam:_Thoughts_from_an_American_Convert here] and [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Parallelism_Between_the_Qur'an_and_Judeo-Christian_Scriptures here]. We would also need a pseudonym (or real name if you're comfortable with that) for attribution on the "front page" and navigational TOC. Do you have anything in mind? --[[User:Admin3|Admin3]] ([[User talk:Admin3|talk]]) 05:27, 11 October 2012 (PDT) | Hi 1234567.

:I think this is a great idea! Unfortunately I'm not really sure how to use the software, so someone else may have to take responsibility for that. That's the advantage of a wiki - no one person is the author. | |||
:Several of the wives already have pages, so we should think how we are going to amalgamate these old articles with some of the new information. | |||
:In addition, my sections on "Why Muhammad married X" were designed to debunk some of the myths, i.e., none of his marriages had a charitable motivation, any political motivations were peripheral, all but one of his wives were beautiful, until 626 he basically had to marry anyone he could get. This could also be a separate article. It would counteract some of the propaganda about how his polygyny was "necessary". | |||
:We could perhaps amalgamate this article with the "list of wives" article (on which I've done some work). Make the list the hub article, then link it to separate pages on each wife, plus a few short articles on "Concubinage," "Muhammad's Broken Engagements," "Tetragyny," etc. | |||
:You can use the pseudonym '''Petra MacDonald''' for the author. This is the English translation of '''Asma bint Marwan''' (with the elements reversed). | |||
