A fact from Wahhabi sack of Karbala appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 September 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that after 12,000 Wahhabis from the first Saudi State sacked Karbala and killed at least 2,000 people, they left the city with 4,000 camels carrying their plunder?

Why?

This article appears to have never been sourced, and it was created by a sockpuppet account which was banned four years ago. Is there any reason for this article to exist? MezzoMezzo (talk) 13:24, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While the article is non-existant, it should cover a significant military attack and mass murder incident committed by the First Saudi State. It is important as well, as this incident could be considered a prequel to 9/11. I would say the incident is very well attested. --Lionheart Omega (talk) 22:17, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This prove the intent of Saudi state and Wahhabi / Salafi beliefs to terrorize anyone else, level any tomb to the ground (as what happened to Jannat_al-Baqi' Cemetery and Jannat_al-Mu'alla cemeteries), and kill the shia muslims who are considered heretics in their eyes.

Copyediting

I'm copy editing, just so you guys know. TerribleTy27 (talk) 17:45, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ibn Bishr used the world 'Muslim' as the Wahhabis referred to themselves, not feeling the need to distinguish themselves from other Muslims, since they did not believe them to be Muslims.

Ahem, is it word or world? TerribleTy27 (talk) 18:18, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found another confusing paragraph.

The report is accepted by Ibn Sanad and Raymond written soon after the attack

The entire Date of Attack section is kinda, seriously messed up. I suggest you improve that while I'm away.. TerribleTy27 (talk) 18:18, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you TerribleTy27 for carrying the burden of copy editing the article. I think its 'word' not 'world'. I try to take care if the 'Date' section. --Mhhossein (talk) 04:02, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Muslima as general

Hey @Tiptoethrutheminefield: I reverted two of your edits as I though they were WP:OR. However, if you can explain how it was not violating the guidelines please discuss it here before doing further edits. --Mhhossein ^talk 16:57, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
