Content should be based on fully referenced facts and mainstream Islamic sources Any critique of mainstream Islam should be based on its own rules and religious sources, meaning articles should never endorse (but may simply document or challenge) fringe theories unsupported by the majority of evidence. There should be no personal opinions or abstract deductions, and every statement of fact must be supported by reliable, published sources. |

Content should be written in a professional and scholarly manner One does not have to be in a profession or a scholar to write in a professional and scholarly manner. This can be achieved by simply avoiding the use of certain things, such as repeated information and wordiness; contracted forms; first or second person perspectives; and extremist, sensationalist, sarcastic or emotional language. |
