:::The Pickthal and Shakir translations are both very good translations. Those three were chosen because they are the most readily available and accepted. What is the point of quoting the Qur'an if Muslims won't even accept the translations used? None whatsoever. All that is asked of the editor is to limit his use of translations to one per section/error, since using multiple translations in a single section may appear disingenuous.

::::To Sahab, indeed I overlooked that link looking in the sky part. About the translation used here in wiki the part chronological order [[Chronological_Order_of_the_Qur'an]]shows the YusufAli translation and this one is here often used when quoted here. I know the standard link is to three translations. Perhaps you can answer my question "When adding a verse that is translated significantly different in different translations how to treat this?" and with this I mean not quoting from YusufAli but from the other two. Just mention the translator like this? | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|9|5}}|PICKTHAL: Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. }} | |||
::::As far as completeness is concerned this does not only matter scientific errors. The answer Saggy got was more or less the answer you gave me about Zakat quotes. We simply disagree on this. And as I stated I realize I do not set the standard here. --[[User:PW. Jansen|PW. Jansen]] ([[User talk:PW. Jansen|talk]]) 02:15, 9 September 2014 (PDT) | |||
