:::''If the report of Abdullah ibn Abbas is correct, she was a mere three years older than Muhammad, which hardly qualifies as an age-difference.'' | :::''If the report of Abdullah ibn Abbas is correct, she was a mere three years older than Muhammad, which hardly qualifies as an age-difference.'' | ||
::My opinion on that: We know Abbas is wrong. Its more commonly known that it was 25 and she was 40. It should be clear that this 3 year difference is a fringe theory. Fringe theories should not be given 'equal' treatment and should not be presented 'equally' visibly along with other facts. So this should be corrected with either removal of this portion, or with the addition that more common references talk about 25/40, or make a new subsection about her age and present all the various theories there along with their proper weights. This may be best because the age difference is frequently talked about. | ::My opinion on that: We know Abbas is wrong. Its more commonly known that it was 25 and she was 40.

::Other than than it looks great, like the section "Khadija and Polytheism". There's lots of interesting information. Articles like this about Muhammad's most famous/prominent wives will be popular reads. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 08:59, 31 March 2013 (PDT) | ::Other than than it looks great, like the section "Khadija and Polytheism".

After the remaining changes are made, we can see if we can move it to the main space and it may not even need an author attribution if it doesnt contain any opinions/original research. The pictures look great also. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 08:59, 31 March 2013 (PDT) | ||
