::::No, I agree 100% with you. I prefer the no-nonsense, facts only, encyclopedic/counter-apologetic pages over essays. My editing history shows that I'm ruthless when it comes to removing opinions or non-referenced statements from our pages. My concern is that it will end up becoming too much of a hassle for both the author and the site. I'd rather have several new a-grade essays over eventually having nothing at all. Plus, in this instance, the author can argue a point we'd never make, I.e. that all of Prophet Muhammad's wives (including Kadijah) were young women. This would make it an important counter-apologetic piece, and I don't think it being attributed to a single author is an issue there. Ideally we'd have both, essays and encyclopedic pages. --[[User:Sahabah|Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 20:28, 5 February 2013 (PST) | ::::No, I agree 100% with you.

:::::Ok. ''"that all of Prophet Muhammad's wives (including Kadijah) were young women."'' - this would also be fine if its not an essay because if we've given the sources for their ages we can make that direct conclusion that they were young and its not original research.
