WikiIslam:Meet the Editors: Difference between revisions

Axius is an atheist humanist from the [[Americas]]. He is also the founder and lead administrator of WikiIslam. He has about 18,000 edits (approximately 20% of all edits; the 2^nd highest) for various pages, many of them related to maintenance, administration, site interface and help. He is heavily involved in community building and decision-making.

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.  

Lightyears created very detailed articles for several different topics including [[Dhul-Qarnayn]]. In his own words, he is "not interested in causing people who are happy believing in Islam to doubt their faith," but hopes that his work "will dissuade some Muslims from spreading mistaken claims and flawed arguments about science or mathematical miracles in the Qur’an."

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.
