:::::>"For MGM, perhaps the page is better titled 'Male Circumcision in Islamic Law', as this is how it is more commonly known." | |||
:::::I agree - it would be best to use the term that people coming to WikiIslam would be most familiar with and most likely to search for. | |||
:::::>"Alternatively, we could have a page titled 'Khitan (Circumcision) in Islamic Law' which could be for either Male circumcision alone or both FGM and Male circumcision. What are your thoughts?" | |||
:::::TBH I'm not sure. Could we return to this question as I become more experienced and get a clearer picture of things? There are commonalities between FGM and Male Circumcision, but there are enough differences to make me cautious about associating them on too general a level. Maybe a page for 'Genital Mutilations' where the commonalities and differences can be outlined? Such a page could include a section which which gave, and justified, correct definitions of terms associated with genital mutilation - 'khitan' in particular, but also 'khaffad' and 'bazr' (there may be some other terms associated with male circumcision - I have yet to investigate this). | |||
:::::>" if you encounter any other confusing instructions in the policy/guideline pages, let me know or even make an edit." | |||
:::::OK, I'll do what I can, though at this stage I'm not yet able to determine whether any confusion is due to the instruction not being clear or because of my own stupidity. But if I see anything that I feel able to correct I'll give it a go. | |||
:::::>"try to see if you are able to create this page: https://wikiislam.net/wiki/User:Flynnjed/Sandbox" | |||
:::::I've clicked on the link but I get a page (with none of the 'edit' tabs) which says: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page." | |||
:::::>"I just posted a brief summary of FGM I'd written elsewhere on the wiki on the FGM page for the time being, see what you think." | |||
:::::What you've written is good. I'll check my notes to see if I have anything to add - maybe we could add sections for each school - I seem to remember that their position on FGM (and other matters) depends a lot on how they make a heirarch of their interpretative resources (itjma, qiyas etc). I've a few notes on Shia, Ibadi Islam too I think. I like using paired maps - for example a map showing the distribution of schools of Islam and another showing the distributions of FGM - but I also note that there are not many visuals in WikiIslam - other than the home page. Is this a policy? | |||
:::::>" Also, if you continue making quality contributions, we will be able to upgrade your editor status so that you can edit pages directly - can't make any promises on how soon this would be, however" | |||
:::::No worries - I'm fine being supervised. If I was given too much power at this early stage, I'm worried about the damage and chaos that might inadvertently ensue. | |||
:::::>"If you want to discuss plans for larger projects, please use our WikiIslam:Discussions page." | |||
:::::Thanks - I'll have a look at the relevant pages and make myself known. | |||
:::::Just a final point - my username is currently my real name. I note that all the (other) editors use pseudonyms. Whilst I'm not over-anxious about this, I'd prefer to write under a pseudonym. Can this be arranged? [[User:Flynnjed|Flynnjed]] ([[User talk:Flynnjed|talk]]) 09:50, 18 March 2021 (UTC) | |||
