::My opinion on that: We know Abbas is wrong. Its more commonly known that it was 25 and she was 40. It should be clear that this 3 year difference is a fringe theory. Fringe theories should not be given 'equal' treatment and should not be presented 'equally' visibly along with other facts. So this should be corrected with either removal of this portion, or with the addition that more common references talk about 25/40, or make a new subsection about her age and present all the various theories there along with their proper weights. This may be best because the age difference is frequently talked about. | ::My opinion on that: We know Abbas is wrong. Its more commonly known that it was 25 and she was 40.

::Other than than it looks great, like the section "Khadija and Polytheism". There's lots of interesting information. Articles like this about Muhammad's most famous/prominent wives will be popular reads. After the remaining changes are made, we can see if we can move it to the main space and it may not even need an author attribution if it doesnt contain any opinions/original research. The pictures look great also. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 08:59, 31 March 2013 (PDT) | ::Other than than it looks great, like the section "Khadija and Polytheism".

:::I must admit I've had a U-turn of opinion here. Looking at the source and how it's written, I think the age issue has been handled great and doesn't need amending. Sources for both ages are provided and the readers can make up their mind. Also, after having a quick read through, I agree that this probably will not need to be labeled an essay. I think it would look good as part of the wiki mainspace. If 1234567 (Petra MacDonald) would like to be acknowledged as the original author, we can attribute this the way we do for all of our encyclopedic/counter-apologetic pages where the author requests recognition i.e. through an [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Category:Authors author category]. Well, those are my thoughts. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 16:54, 31 March 2013 (PDT) | |||
