[edit] sources for shia POV

http://www.al-islam.org/peshawar/5.3.html

--Striver 28 June 2005 18:58 (UTC)

[edit] Obvious Sunni Bias

This article became obvious sunni bias as the shia section was removed totally and there is no mentions of any critical documents against him. I readded the Shia section and the old more historically accurate Sunni section instead of the bias nonsense posted before. This article should be locked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.90.239 (talk) 23:57, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] POV?

Quite obviously a bashing.

You might feel that it is a bashing, but it is the official Shia view, and it is represented accuratly. If you want to confirm that, start by reading the peswar nights link. --Striver 20:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] sahaba

Please stop adding the {{Sahaba}} template. It's ugly and misplaced, and it's already mentioned in the introduction, as well as the category. If you want a template on all the Sahaba, then make a nice template. Cuñado - Talk 16:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Abu Hurairah#References

I have added {{cite web}} templates to replace the external link references ... during the process, I discovered that several were duplicated, so now they use common <ref name=XYZ /> tags ... I also added website names that were missing in the External Links section.

Having said and done all that, I am dubious about some of them failing WP:External links normally to be avoided, like the GeoCities link (not a WP:RS) and others lacking references or sources, and that appear to be "intended to promote a website" ... but do not feel strongly enough to delete any of them at this time.

Besides, it looks like this is one of those Shi'a vs Sunni battlegrounds, and I'd rather just not get involved. --141.156.216.67 13:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (Peace be upon Him) and the Manual of Style

The Manual of Style (WP:MOSISLAM) indicates that:

the first reference to Muhammad should be as Islamic prophet Muhammad;
subsequent references should simply be Muhammad; and
other honorifics such as PBUH or (Peace be Upon Him) should generally not be added in the body of the text.

I have therefore gone through and removed a few of these honorifics in this article. I have left them where they appear in quotes as they may reflect the actual translation.

No offense is intended in these removals, which are simply to improve the flow of the article and adhere to similar articles elsewhere in Wikipedia. Euryalus 04:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peshawar Nights

A note for those who believe that Peshawar Nights is a solid Shi'a source and therefore is bias/one-sided, I want to point out that the statements and arguments used in Peshawar nights are from Sunni sources. This article can not bash on Abu Hurairah because these incidences are fact. That would be like if someone deleted the holocaust artocities in the Hitler article because "it is bashing on Hitler". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sikandros (talk • contribs) 20:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abu Hurairah

Abu Hurairah from zahran tribe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.138.194.99 (talk) 05:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Umar's court

I think the part about Umar's court should be moved into the shia view section, it being placed in its own section make it seem like both sunni's and shia's believe that happened --216.55.165.54 (talk) 19:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV Tag

I'm doing NPOV tag cleanup. Whenever an NPOV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.Jjdon (talk) 23:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

The information under the Shiah view is unnecessarily strident; also, some less polemical citations on it would be useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Woolcarder (talk • contribs) 19:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
