Zakir Naik

Hi, about the edit I made in that article. The text was "he is regarded as an exponent of the Salafi ideology, and as a radical Islamic televangelist propagating Wahhabism". in this way, It seems that the opinions are the same while Salafi movement is different from wahabism (which is considered radical islam while Salafi movement is not), so I thought that should be clarified by explaining that each opinion is different. and also "he is regarded" makes it seem as the only view of him, while he actually rejects secularism in Islam as the article says. and I'm sorry If my style wasn't good enough as I'm not a native speaker :) with my regards Mohamed^Talk 23:13, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

@محمد عصام: The original text read better but if you think it was misrepresenting facts, then go ahead and make your change. I'm not up to speed with what is or isn't radical islam (or Zakir Naik). If whatever you add needs fixing, someone will come and fix it. Best. --regentspark (comment) 23:30, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I think It will be best to explain my edit at the talk page to know more opinions from others and see if someone can make it more clear and easier to understand , thank you Mohamed^Talk 23:38, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

DS/IPA Question

RP, @Neil: Are discretionary sanctions under IPA, in practice, only applied for disputes/conduct-issues that fall along the nationalist/caste/ethnic fault-lines or have they been applied more generally for articles/editors that (undoubtedly) fall under India/Pakistan project, but are not in any of those narrow categories?

The question is general, but rises from my recent intervention at Swami Nithyananda w.r.t editor Akhilkodali. I am not contemplating any immediate action, but can imagine article/editor based restrictions becoming necessary given persistent RS/POV/BLP/COI issues.

I wouldn't think any fault-lines are needed for sanctionable misconduct. Dogmatic religious POVs, linguistic POVs, history POVs or political POVs are quite common too. But perhaps those users back off before reaching the precipice. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:07, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Generally, the sanctions have been applied more generally. As Kautilya3 states, the religious etc. POV editors are more careful, so that's been less of a problem there. I'm seeing the same "careful" effect in the nationalistic and Indo-Pak areas, particularly after the recent blanket topic bans were issued but not yet in the caste area (which is overrun by socks anyway). --regentspark (comment) 13:47, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Kautilya, RP. Abecedare (talk) 14:53, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

protection

Hi regents park, How did u semi protect the article Karna. Can u explain in detail. I want to protect the article Arjuna because it is being subjected to vandalism constantly. If u can, please protect the article. Its my humble request. Im begging you plz plz.... Im requesting you because its being constantly edited by the following anonymous users: 157.50.77.172 & 117.195.231.245 Sri Harsha 08:52, 21 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MKS Harsha (talk • contribs)

@MKS Harsha:. I've semi-protected the article for the time being. But, like with the Karna article, I think there is a strong likelihood of sock activity and semi-protection won't help with that. @Abecedare: to watch the article and @Ms Sarah Welch: if they can help clean up the article.--regentspark (comment) 13:52, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Watchlisted. @MKS Harsha: some of those IP's edits are problematic but so are yours. You have got to read wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sourcing and stop adding material based on Mahabharat TV series episodes you watch on youtube etc. (pinging User:MKS Harsha again).
