Talk:Muhammad/images

Important notice:

This page is solely for constructive discussion of how best to integrate images in the Muhammad page, within Wikipedia talkpage guidelines.

If you have come here to protest against the presence of images depicting Muhammad, please don't post here. Such objections have been raised before, and been given our consideration.
If you have come here to protest against how Muslims are trying to remove images of Muhammad from Wikipedia, please don't post here. That is not new either.

A summary of the current consensus regarding pictures of Muhammad can be found at Talk:Muhammad/FAQ. If you personally want to avoid seeing the images, you might want to read How to set your browser to not see images.

Suggestions are expected to be informed by Wikipedia guidelines, in particular Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles. Suggestions for an adaptation of standing guidelines are offtopic on this page and belong on Wikipedia talk:No disclaimers in articles or Wikipedia:Village pump (policy).

Because of disruption and trolling, the Muhammad page can be edited only by established Wikipedia users. Please be polite and calm. Trolling or aggressive rhetoric either for or against the use of images will not be tolerated.

Is providing non-real images ensures a quality article?

Wikipedia is a great resource of knowledge but because it is a public property, it is difficult to see whether quality is maintained or not. I was reading the discussion about images of Muhammad and the controversy. I understand the neutral point of view Wikipedia supports but i must say that providing non-real pictures of people doesn't ensure a quality article. What is the usage of self-made picture of Muhammad in Kaaba or preaching? Is there any equal logical explanation for that? There is a lot more quality literature about Muhammad in the whole world but that doesn't mean we infest every bit of information. Providing non-real images is not information (concrete information) at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matrixology (talk • contribs) 13:52, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read the FAQ, especially Q3? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Remove the Pictures

Being Neutral does not mean that you should heart feelings of more than billion people. See these pictures are just useless you can post other pictures that will be more suitable. It is very sensitive issue Muslims hate these pictures and if you dont remove certainly they will hate your site also. And i dont think that removing these pictures will in anyway violate your policies. And it is not that hiding these pictures in our browser will do any good.

Please read Talk:Muhammad/FAQ. Your arguments have already been addressed there. But I will add:

The pictures are already suitable for the article, as they are historically significant works of art by Muslims who evidently had no problem with images of the prophet.
Read the Qu'ran. It doesn't prohibit such images.
Many people hate many things on Wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't censored for anyone's benefit.
Removing the images will violate the core policy of having encyclopedic articles in an encyclopedia.
If you don't want to see the pictures, don't look at them. You have instructions on how to hide them, so use those instructions. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
