WikiIslam:Meet the Editors: Difference between revisions

{{user2|Claustrum}}, [[:ru:Участник:Claustrum|User page on the RU wiki]] {{small star}} : Claustrum is the administrator of the [[:ru:Заглавная_страница|Russian]] WikiIslam, the site's first sub-domain, and maintains most of its articles. He has also been of great help providing technical and other invaluable assistance for making sure both the English and Russian sub-domains keep operating smoothly and can support their growing traffic.  

{{user2|Sahab}}, [[User:Sahab/List of Works|User's List of Major Works]]  {{small star}}: Sahab is a former Sunni Muslim now agnostic from [[Asia|South Asia]] who joined the wiki in April 2009 and became an administrator in 2011. Although not a Christian himself, his "positive experiences with them have left a lasting impression" and he considers Jesus Christ to be "the height of moral excellence." Politically he is "left-leaning" and responsible for the site's coverage of LGBT issues. He edited heavily for 5 years (from April 2009 to April 2014), accumulating 47,000 edits (50% of all edits) that touched almost every page on the site. He created several hundred original articles, various original media files and templates and many original series that span several hundred more pages. As an administrator, he quality-controlled most of the site's edits (copy-editing, correcting and expanding as necessary), helped with decision-making, guiding newer editors and dealt with many other day-to-day duties. He helped to formulate and write the majority of the site's policies and guidelines, created its easy-to-navigate structure (site map, links, hub/core pages, layered categories, etc.) and helped shape its general direction. Offsite, he helped promote the wiki and networked with others to import several hundred more pages worth of articles (most of these were also copy-edited, corrected and/or expanded by him). In short, he is the most significant contributor to the site as of August 2014 and basically made WikiIslam into what it is today.

{{user2|Sanitarium}} ([[:Category:Sani|User's List of Major Works]]): Sanitarium is an atheist feminist from [[Australia]]. She administered the site over several years and contributed heavily to female-related articles. She also wrote the [[Islamic Prophecies]] series and recruited other editors such as Sahab.

Natassia ([[:Category:Natassia|User's List of Major Works]]): Natassia is a Christian. Her contributions to WikiIslam concentrated on Islam's history and its treatment of Christians and Jews.

Khalil ([[:Category:Khalil Fariel|User's List of Major Works]]): Khalil is a former Sufi Muslim now atheist from the [[Middle East]]. He left Islam after witnessing a public, Shari'ah-sanctioned beheading. Although no longer a believer in the existence of gods, he retains a deep admiration for spiritual figures such as Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha. His contributions to WikiIslam focused on religious violence during Prophet [[The Timeline of Muhammad|Muhammad's liftime]] and his relationship with his child-bride, [[Aisha]]. He also helped with Arabic analysis within various articles.

THHuxley ([[:Category:THHuxley|User's List of Major Works]]): THHuxley is a Scientific Deist and a prolific online debater. His work centers around the scientific field and so do his numerous contributions to WikiIslam. He once emailed Dr. William W. Hay concerning the infamous "This Is The Truth" video and received a prompt, personal reply informing him that Hay's beliefs had been misrepresented and his words cut and pasted out-of-context.

Hector‎ ([[:Category:Hector|User's List of Major Works]]): Hector is an atheist. Like THHuxley, he is a prolific online debater and most of his contributions to WikiIslam center around the scientific field.
