This is a comment from Arnold Schwarzenegger that he posted on the Reddit.com website:

Thanks for sharing this.

Everybody, behave and stop bickering. This is about inspiring more people to get into fitness. I've never understood people who argue constantly about who is wrong and who is right in fitness, because the fact is, there are many "right" answers, especially for people just starting out.

Do you think Sergio Oliva and I did the same thing? No. In fact, you could walk into Gold's and watch the 5 best guys and see 5 completely different routines. And you know what? We didn't argue.

Do me a favor. Try to focus more on expanding the fitness community as a whole than protecting your little corner of it.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's comment on Reddit.com - July 11, 2013

This quote applies to criticism of Islam as well. Critics should focus on working as a team together and helping the movement move forward instead of being divisive and disapproving attitudes or approaches by other critics of Islam.

  • deletion policy: MediaWiki:Confirmdeletetext
  • syntax highlight

  • Hire:
    • Primary task: Community building. Create new ways of attracting editors and building an active self-sustaining community with a positive constructive vibe where rational ideas reign. Without this this website cannot survive, evolve and grow. Increase high-quality editing activity. You can also explore implementing fund raising to finance editors (if that is what is needed for increasing editing activity)
    • Other tasks:
      • Also recruit volunteer editors for other languages. Coordinate with sub-domain administrations for community building.
      • Make it easy for translators to do translations
      • Web usability: Make it easier to browse the website and get the information people are looking for. This can include suggestions for changing the basic layout of the side (top, left, bottom areas) but this is not the only thing that may be needed.
    • Prior experience in website community growth, or leadership positions in other scenarios and education/experience in Web design may help

  • A system for WI's own hadith and Quran page references for the hadith and verses we use, to keep the visitor on the site. Current templates could be updated for these hadiths and verses.

  • For Quotes: Investigate using different colors for different types of contents, e.g. Quran (green), hadith (blue), News sources (brown), Articles (light yellow), grey and light pink, light orange could also be used.

Article tasks

  1. Mistranslated Quranic verses - As an example Quran 5:38 is translated on free-minds.org as "cut from their resources", which is different from the actual meaning "cut off their hands". Explore all other possible Quranic verses listed in the Quran category, Top 10 Controversial Verses Concerning Women and Top 10 Controversial Verses in the Qur'an and compare translations to accepted translated like Yusuf, Shakir and Pickthall. These obscure translations distort the meanings of Quranic verses and are often used for apologetic purposes. Explore the sources and the people behind the free-minds website and those who wrote these translations.
  2. Advice for editing Wikipedia - advice for following Wikipedia policies, how to create content and dealing with situations relating to criticism of Islam
  3. IDebater (User:Axius/IDebater)- directed towards Muslims, this is a big project. See the link for more detail of what it is about. More information on the project will be posted later.
