When I joined Misplaced Pages, I appreciated your hard work, though frankly I recently got very disappointed by your attitude towards me, which includes being occasionally rude and mostly assuming bad faith on my part.

| Hi Zora, wishing you a Happy New Year. I was on wikibreak the last couple of days and the thread on ANI got archived in the meanwhile. May I know your current stand on it? If you still have objections to the template on Indian actor pages, please let me know. I intend to start my bot in the next few days but dont have any intentions of edit warring over it. Hence I thought I'd check with you. In case you havent seen my last few replies on the thread, are for your reference — ]] 06:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Zora, we can take this through formal ] if you want. However, I would like to discuss it with you first so that we can understand what the other is saying. Can you tell me what it is that you are against. I ask because I get a slightly different response every time I approach you: | |||
| *Are you against all wikiprojects based on nationality? You say that we should follow US and UK and since they are not tagging by country, we should not do it either. Well, for one, I question that logic. But even the statement is faulty. Not only US but many other countries do have their own projects. Each of them has their flag on the template. See ], ], ] etc. etc. | |||
| *Are you against talk page templates of wikiprojects in general?: As I keep repeating, thats a separate technical discussion. If there is consensus to keep project templates out of talk pages altogether, then I have no objections. But if it is only against specific articles and specific projects, then I do have objections. | |||
| *Dividing Misplaced Pages along national, religious etc etc lines. I think we can get into a long philosophical discussion on this whether nations and other identities were created to separate people or join them, but the fact is that all of these are realities. Crusading against a wikiproject is not going to take the reality of nations and religions away. But I think you have got the concept of a wikiproject wrong. They exist to give related articles some organisation, not to ignite religious or nationalistic passions. Plus the WP1.0 team is involved in something very noble. They bring out cds for distribution where there is no internet access. How do they decide which articles to include? Through the wikiproject assessments. That is how the project templates help. See ]. Specifically ]. They encourage use of bots so that articles that are of importance to the various projects can be improved and included in the cd. The core topics get included on priority. These are generally articles that a project tags as top importance. What may be top importance for one project may not be so for another. The task is a very noble one, I think. I myself keep assessing articles when I get time. If you want, you can go through my contribs but rest assured that there are actually people working on the importance and quality of articles that can be included for WP1.0. | |||
| *Finally, it is not nationalism that has killed millions. Its the inability to accommodate others' point of view. Nationalism/religion etc. are double edged weapons. We can use them to create a better world or to kill millions. Even the so called ] when editors managed to accommodate each others' point of view. | |||

| About long synopsis. I happened to be checking Beattles related films, when I came to ]. The plot was writen from a young person, or at least it was written so and then tagged for grammar. It was the scene by scene description you mentioned. You are a mother, so how would you feel if your (say) 11 year old had made a good effort on writing about a film? I am no father, but I was moved from the effort and didn't even want to take away its childish style. I checked in other sites for plots and I noticed that what was given here was by far more informative. So I did my best to keep it as given and corrected as much grammar and phrasing as I could. I agree that there could also be a plot summary (synopsis) which would be 1/10th of it, given in one ot two paragraphs. Maybe this should happen to many films. But if we do have a more detailed version, we shouldn't just scrap it. I agree, some users could be on an ego cruise, but I try to see it rather as information gathered. So I got this idea of sub articles for extended plots that may not be desired or needed in the main article. I would appreciate any reply on this. ] <small>]</small> 08:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| No problem: I am just happy that someone is adding refs at all! ] <span style="color:green">||</span> ] 23:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
| I meant just the extended plot to be a subarticle. I will ask if we can get statistics for articles. I am only 4 months a wikipedian. I have tried myself with plots, but have done only a handful from scratch. I naturally tend to give the whole story, in a way that is as brief as I can, but without feeling I left gaps. If I try to make a very short version, I have the feeling it's not informative enough, or what I said was just the part that was important to me. Maybe such a brief summarizing but still sufficiently informative is a talent I don't have. So I end up with plots like ]. And I don't feel I was egoistically motivated, because I was simply doing my best to describe the film without including too many details. It is true that I am using my sense of being thorough but not vain. We have about 10.000 stubs to bring to class start. Maybe not all of them are really worth it, but even so still LOTS. If I give up trying to make plots (because of my lengthy results which I wouldn't like to impose if I know they are not welcome) and if more users are discouraged (because they would exceed 500 words) and since more stubs are comming in with time, are there really enough good brief-plot ("plot summary") editors to achieve this in the next few years? ] <small>]</small> 12:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I quite sympathise with the party bore parallel. I also sympathize with people who want to find an objectively given extended plot. I am very selective in viewing films, so I want to know what I will get into. Some elements in the extended plot can switch me either way. Even without statistics, and being a not very social person, I still know a few people like me in this, including my wife. That's why I want to suggest the sub-article solution. Also I wouldn't start a competition in how many visited the main article vs. the extended plot version. Even one in twenty would satisfy me. But I do not claim that the extended version should be recommended or any priority. If the data is there and it conforms to encyclopedic requirements, let's just not delete it. Even so, if one starts getting on tangents about details it should be cut off, even from the extended version. Ok, and I will move this issue to the project's talk so I don't get to be a party bore here. ] <small>]</small> 15:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Zora, your reversal of my edits, which go in accordance with policy, is completely unacceptable, and more so the rude way in which you have done it, which I'm not going to tolerate any longer. Stop thinking that your opinion matters the most, and before giving support to such claims as "enormous film empire" and "Stars, rather than plots, were often the driving force behind the films", and a whole unsourced block of original research, read ] and ] and kindly familiarise yourself with the process of Misplaced Pages editing. The introduction has been this way for years, if you want to change it then discuss. And your constant assertions that Bollywood is not the Hindi film industry do not make much sense unless you can prove reality is wrong. | |||
| == Halem == | |||
| Yes, the first thing that a reader should see is indeed the language of a film industry (particularly when it comes to India, in which every film industry is sorted by language, basically), and the ''lingua franca'' of Bollywood is Hindi, as it is mentioned in possibly every Indian film article, and almost every source on the article. The use of Urdu is mentioned perfectly, its use has been fading, and today most films do not even have Urdu scripts in the opening credits. "Encyclopaedia of Hindi cinema", the largest book written about this film industry, published by Britannica and written by the likes of Gulzar, as well as numerous other books which you can see on the net, acknowledge Bollywood as Hindi cinema, and this is how it has been known for years. Film certificates, too, mention Hindi as the language of Bollywood films, and the term Bollywood in indeed informal (and mind you, it is a ''term'' used to refer to the industry, not the industry itself). | |||
| Zora, Bernard Lewis also sometimes uses the term matrydom. The academic sources are not NPOV. They say "Prophet Muhammad", "Jesus Christ"... I was searching about Halem in google. He really seems to be a notable scholar. For example, he has written articles on "al-Mansura" and "Rawk" in ]. Here , Michael Bonner Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University has translated his work from German to English and published it through Brill Academic Press. And if a recent source quotes a source published 100 years ago, then that would still be of use I feel. | |||
| Your attempts to erase them border on vandalism, and your penchant to accuse others of nationalism will not be taken lightly. Your insistence to see everything as negative and think that everyone is based on national grounds is of least interest to me. I'm not here to serve your agenda, and do not expect me, or anyone else, for that matter, to follow your personal preferences. Want to start another long discussion? Do it! But please do cite sources (which you never do, because everything you say is right, isn't it?) and do not feel you own Misplaced Pages because you do NOT. | |||
| But I agree with you that he has a POV, but everybody has a POV. Being NPOV doesn't mean denying Shia POV. Esposito is famous for being sympathetic towards Islam but nevertheless it is "a" POV. I think in any controversial topic there are people who are sympathetic towards one or the other group. | |||
| Next time you revert, I will report you on ANI. Instead of dictating, enforcing your biased views, and coming here from time to time only to revert someone, I suggest you to contribute to the project by trying to improve it. I personally am trying to do it every day. Enough is enough. ] • <sup>'']''</sup> 22:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC) | |||

| Zora, I agree with you that it is not the area of expertise of Halem but I don't find it fair to say that all he wrote is not an academic POV. While writing the Shia account of the story, we can say that these academic scholars accept it (in order to remove redundancy). Why should we put the academic POV in contrast with Shia POV? --] 12:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Your ] nomination of ]== | |||
| : Re Abu Mekhnad: Abu Mekhnaf(d. 157/774) is a primary source and thus it could be used only when used in secondary sources. If an academic secondary source quotes a passage from it, then that passage should be reliable. | |||
| : Re Academic Sources: Your point regarding the existence of pre-assumptions is valid. If enough scholars have worked on this topic, I think there must be a lot of controversy in academia. Some agree with some assumptions and some don't. In some cases it is possible that the consensus of opinions tend to reject an assumption or accept it. In that case, we can put academic POV in contrast with Shia POV. Otherwise, Shia POV would be one out of several academic POVs. Halem's usage of the word "matrydom", I think, is adding the POV that the death of Hussein was sacred but I don't think that makes him an unreliable academic source.

You may say that he's Shi'a and Iranian so he's not reliable but if you remind that most of historic books in this issue are in Persian and Arabic and some of them don't introduce to west then you'll admit that such research is so valuable - I don't mean certainly correct. And also you admit that we -Iranian Shi'as- aren't some partisans which should be neglected to avoid POV pushing. I'm certain you'll lost too many things if you neglect Shi'a researches. Also I should remind there are some researches in Persian and Arabic which are more correct than this one.

Sources are either trustworthy, and to be accepted in toto, or untrustworthy, and to be rejected. It's more of a spectrum, with most sources in the middle.''" Maybe I couldn't describe my intentions correctly. But I made historiography section in that article to remove this idea exactly. | |||
| ::Also the state of "Freedom of speech" in Iran is confusing. It depends on who, where and when says something. Thus you can say something but the other one can't. You can say something in university but not in public. And it changes from time to time. For example in the case of battle of Karbala since 20th century some religious scholars -Ahl Hadith and Mutakkalems- and then academicians have started to criticize the story and tried to remove distortions. I'm sure that there isn't any other issue in our ancient history which has been criticized more. The result of this trend is some careful narrations which have published publicly in Persian and Arabic. But we can't speak in public easily not because of the government but because of public faith. | |||

| Recently I downloaded a few scholarly papers from library on Honor killing and interesting all of these journals don't quote Qur'an or hadith rather they deal this problem purely from cultural point of view. Secondly, I read this article on (a scholarly journal article), and the author concludes: | |||
| <blockquote>The Qur’an offers Muslim men who are justifiably upset with their wives’ conduct ( as defined above), a graduated solution to deal with their frustrations and anger. At its final stage, the solution is similar to that Job was shown to release him from his oath. But the Qur’an also shows Muslims the way to become better Muslims and human beings by living in accordance with the ideal of marital relations, or end the relationship amicably. The Qur’an states very clearly: “ The parties should either hold together on equitable terms or separate with kindness.” (2:229) Thus, the Qur’anic approach to the problem of husbands hitting their wives aims at eliminating such behavior altogether, but it takes into account the very nature of human beings, the complexity of their emotions, and the need for “a gestation period” for them to achieve a higher stage of development. It also helps them reach that higher stage through a series of prescribed behavior aimed at self-control and anger management, and by describing and exhorting by words and the example of the Prophet that blissful higher stage of marital life.</blockquote> | |||

| ==Devanagari Aum== | |||
| ] | |||
| Hi Zora. Please see the article ]. There's a section that describes ] (see para starting with "The symbol of Om contains of three...") for the meaning of the Devanagari symbol for Aum, and my request that it be verified with additional sources has led to all kinds of misunderstandings. Such a theory could be notable only if held by a majority or a significant minority or even a single notable person. The article sounds as if the Aum symbol was designed keeping this in mind, while the symbol clearly comes from merging the devanagari "अ" (A) "ऊ" (U) and "ँ" (M) characters and not by joining semicircles and dots symbolizing various things. Besides the devanagari symbol, we have symbols in various languages, like the Tamil symbol on right (and Tibetan, Chinese, Gurmukhi, etc). The theory of semicircles is elegant, but is not given by a scholar or a religious leader, but a Nitin Kumar, an employee of an online store that sells these Aum motifs . Aum derives its importance from the three syllables, the vibrations they generate, not its notation used to denote it in Devanagari script (which is less than 800 years old.) Read also the introduction of the ], which is very well written. It mentions how mantras like Aum are all about ]. It also says: | |||
| :''For many cultures it is the written letters that have power -- the Hebrew Kabbalah for instance, or the Anglo-Saxon Runes. Letters can have an oracular function even. But in India special conditions applied that meant that writing was very definitely inferior to the spoken word."'' | |||

Unless you can give me an specific example of which piece of information quoted in Banglapedia is wrong, I am well convinced you are the one being driven by some Nationalistic issues here!-] 05:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| I have not written the Banglapedia article! I wish I had, because Asiatic Society referred to the leading academicians in the respective area for articles on each topic. Banglapedia is considered one of the most dependable source for reference in Bangladesh and I'm sure the authors have done enough research and will be able to provide references for whatever information they put in there. Banglapedia is the national encyclopedia of Bangladesh and we are lucky that unlike many other established encyclopedias - Asiatic Society has made the entire document accessible through interenet. So, for every topic on which Banglapedia has an articke, wikipedia should have a link on the external link section - this will only increase the quality of wikipedia. | |||
| If you have specific concern about any piece of information in that article why don't you spell it out. We can write to Banglapedia for clarification and who knows that may help them to correct their mistakes if any. Blindly removing the link does not help anyone.-] 06:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

| It looks a lot better than citing supposedlu uttered, don't you think ? Hope ur not offended, but that was plainly absurd. The wording, I mean. Also, a hadith is usually 'narrated' not 'recorded'. Also people 'pray' and they don't 'pray thus'. This is just grammar, nothing else. Thank you.] 06:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Zora, I was not implying that collecting hadith was unique to Shi'a. Please re-read my edit. However I do believe the phenomenon of compiling 100+ volume compilations that are in common circulation in the post-mediaeval period is uniquely Shi'i. | |||
| Regardless of whether or not it is ok in your view, this is the way it is sourced in any Islamic text. A hadith narrated by so and so and it says so and so. You mentioned that if it is sourced then it is encyclopediac. You also mentioned that you have many volumes on Islam, as well as that you do not speak any Arabic. These books would presumably be in English. Do they say recorded? Let's not use too much language when a few words would do. "According to hadith which says" is ok. Anyways, it is a very small issue, and if ur satisfied with "recorded" then it is up to you.] 06:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Talk about hypocirsy. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:AMbroodEY#NPOV ). So a Pakistani propoganda sheet is OK for you in bilbiography section for Partition article but this book is all lies huh?.... Even Turks were killed in Armrnian genocide. Yes there was retributive violence against Muslims but that was mostly limited to Punjab. These stories have even been documented in ]. It pales before the sheer orgy of death and violence let loose by Muslim League on Hindius and Sikhs of West Pakistan. As a Sindhi it was my Al-Naqba, my holocaust. As for the notability of this book, well I did find this book in my local county library (Surrey Heath County Council libraries). Even Spencer cites this book in one of his bestselling works. It is even in UCLA and Univ. of Virginia reading lists for partition.... Moreover its author ] a ] lecturer was awarded Padma Bhushan, India's highest civilian honour by very 'secular' Congress govt. in 1985. Do you think a Sikh could be spewing Hindutva propoganda in 1950? when RSS was still banned.... Additionally the book has been published by] which is equivalent to Sikh vatican. | |||

| ==Contact request regarding Xango== | |||
| Some background on my request: ] was God's messenger. Powerless when he was here, and powerless now. All he did was deliver some information from God, that we may follow God's guidance (Quran) as it is meant to be followed. Now, not everyone believes this. And, in accordance with God's guidance (Quran), there is no compulsion in religion (Quran 2:256). Since God's messenger departed this world, many people have claimed messengership. Ahmad Nishitoba is one such person. He has absolutely nothing to do with submission to God, or Rashad Khalifa. If someone wakes up tomorrow and claims to have some relation to Jesus or Muhammad, will he be allowed to put his personal website as an "external link" on those Misplaced Pages articles? No. God willing, I pray that we will remain objective and apply consistent logic when contributing to, monitoring, and editing articles. | |||

| During Zia-ul-Haq Islamization of Pakistan, the wearing of Sari was replaced completly by the shalwar qamiz. The Sari was described as unislamic. The perception in Pakistan, even today, is that the Sari is an Indian/Hindu dress. Also Pakistan is a muslim country, and most women will not wear the Sari because it shows the midriff. These are the reason why the Sari has fallen out of favor. | |||

However, you have to take the risk that your work will become completely irrelevant not because of vandals and POV warriors but because of the project being a flop. I can't tell if the atmopshere is better there or if it's just because there are so few editors (after months no one had even touched the Islam page). One thing that did worry me a little is the censorship / "family friendly" drive Larry Sanger was pushing. While I don't think it will matter in most places, I think the fact that we have no problem putting explicit things at least on the commons if they are warranted is... maybe a good thing. Although, I do still think we should censor that Muhammad article a little more ;) That's just my observations about Citizendium from... having an account and watching the goings on but not really participating.

| Hi Zora, You can't quit now! If you are exhausted, take time off from other pages, but ''not'' the clothes pages (despite the sniping on Salwar-kameez). You are the only one on Misplaced Pages who knows how to write about clothes, especially those of the subcontinent. Besides, I just ordered Emma Tarlo's , in the hopes—once I've read the book—of expanding some clothes pages, and even starting some, like ]. Plus I'm going to be taking some more pictures this weekend. I thought it might be a good idea to actually show the cut on the bias with a closeup. | |||
| As for the Salwar-kameez article, I didn't realize that ] explicitly recommends sticking with the original spelling in cases of US/UK disputes. So, as far as I am concerned, the original spelling (salwar) stays, as long as we point out the different variants early on, which you have done. | |||

| == Misunderstanding == | |||
| Zora, it was never my intention to accuse you of lying. If thats the way it sounded to you i apologize. The only reason i even asked for the link was because i could not find it myself. As for you wanting to put salwar/shalwar through the entire article, you changed the Jinnah picture but not the others. I really didnt see how that was fair, so i changed it. In actuality when i was editing under IP 198.7.249.101 i suggested the same idea you accused me of "using the article to propagandize". On the sari article even though i disagreed with you i left it alone, and i even reverted someone who brought religion into it again. | |||
| From your comments it seems that my comments were the final straw in your decision to leave. I truly feel guilty, as i think you are a good editor. I was looking at the archives of the meditation of prophet Muhammad, and saw that you were in favor of removing unveiled images of him. As a Muslim i appreciated that. I wouldnt blame you for leaving, i personally feel happier myself when not editing here, but i hope you were just being emotional and decide to come back after a break as Misplaced Pages needs editors like you. Once again i apologize for anything i said which factored into you wanting to leave. | |||

Namecalling
To whoever left the insulting message on my talkpage, unsigned -- that was rude and cruel. Call me an alien if you want, but don't throw misogynistic slurs my way. Zora (talk) 09:35, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Please come back
Hi Zora. The Bollyeood project on here has ground to a halt. We no longer have editors like you and Pa7 around to improve content like we used to. BollywoodDreamz has little time for wikipedia anymore with uni committments and a lot of Shahid's time is spent reverting stupid edits and fighting silly editors. Please consider returning and restoring order once again. We could hhonestly do with several hundred Zoras to keep the project in order and to improve the quality of content. Regards. ‡ Himalayan ‡ 12:24, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- I second that. I think you were an amazing editor, and one of my favourite. I'm really sorry if you consider me as one of those "loons or ignorant POV-pushing fanatics". I'm not a nationalist, I never was. I'm willing to learn, but in this particular case, I just respectfully disagree. Anupam in fact contacted you to have you back on here to reinforce his POV. I still appreciate you for the efforts. Shahid • 20:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Warning
Zora, please do not change articles until consensus is reached. Do not use sections on which you add information to deviously add your POV. No colloquial register. The language of the films is Hindi and people watch them because of the similarity between the languages and because Urdu words have been used from time to time.. If you do it again, I'll request admin help. Thanks, Shahid • 10:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
so...
how are you doing? It's been such a long time I don't think you even remember who I am :). Last time we talked, you were very stressed...thatdoesn't seem to have changed. Hope all is well with you. GNU4eva (talk) 21:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Talkback
Saw your edit after adding the talkback message—better...--Supertouch (talk) 18:21, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
yes, Zora, you're sorely missed, especially for Islam-related articles, where it's quite difficult to find un-emotional, serious editing. All the best Giordaano (talk) 08:29, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Bollywood
Zora, please assume good faith and do not revert editors who are much more experienced than you are. If you are reverting something which has been protested by someone else, kindly discuss on the talk page first, and then edit.
Secondly, mention of other specific film industries is NOT relevant in the lead of this article. This article is about Hindi cinema, not Telugu, not Marathi and not Tamil. If people want to know what the other parts of Indian cinema are, they can refer to that page. Also, the user mentioned only several industries, while there are much, much more. We are not here to make choices. If you wanna add something, then rephrase it first, do not leave it for others to fix.
You did not even check what the user added and where he added it. He actually inserted his text within a footnote, which is a very wrong format. Next time please check before reverting.
For now, I added a short clause which makes the sentence clearer. If you think you can rephrase it in a better way, that would be great. Shahid • 14:24, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- That certainly was not my meaning, and if you felt so, I apologise. I do not own the article and I think not even once have I ever shown such intents. First, I never "ordered" anything. Second, I did not ask you to consult me but use the talk page. Thirdly, I said that because your revert was totally inappropriate and insulting. You just restored a text which was placed within a footnote, that's improper formatting, and you should have checked it before. The first thing anyone would conclude from that is that you are not assuming good faith on them and reverting them just for the sake of reverting specifically their edits.
- I am aware of all the incidents you had to go through, and I've actually felt the same when people like you indirectly accused me of being a nationalist, while I'm not. My religion is none of anyone else's business. I like editing and improving articles, not fighting over scripts, but I had an opinion, I still hold it, and several intelligent editors share the same view. When I joined Misplaced Pages, I appreciated your hard work, though frankly I recently got very disappointed by your attitude towards me, which includes being occasionally rude and mostly assuming bad faith on my part. I cannot accept that. That made me understand why many people did not get along with you at the time. Previously I used to think there was something wrong with them, not with you. But now...
- Just like you tell me of your previous hard work, I collaborated with many editors who always expressed their appreciation, even those you used to interact with back in time, such as Plumcouch, Pa7, Grenavitar, etc., perhaps with the exception of Shez 15, who is no longer active, and it doesn't really matter now.
- If you're back, then good for you, but I somehow feel you were constantly angry not only then, but now too. That's not how it should be on WP, you must have fun, otherwise this place is not for you (I'm not referring to you specifically but to the whole breed of WP editors).
- Anyway, there is a new clause in the article which I think is very good, so this topic should be probably closed. Shahid • 19:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of List of Indian film actors
I have nominated List of Indian film actors, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of Indian film actors (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

You're being quoted
Hi. This is just a courtesy note to let you know a comment you made five years ago has been quoted in the current discussion at Talk:Muhammad/images. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:22, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Warning
Zora, your reversal of my edits, which go in accordance with policy, is completely unacceptable, and more so the rude way in which you have done it, which I'm not going to tolerate any longer. Stop thinking that your opinion matters the most, and before giving support to such claims as "enormous film empire" and "Stars, rather than plots, were often the driving force behind the films", and a whole unsourced block of original research, read WP:CITE and WP:OR and kindly familiarise yourself with the process of Misplaced Pages editing. The introduction has been this way for years, if you want to change it then discuss. And your constant assertions that Bollywood is not the Hindi film industry do not make much sense unless you can prove reality is wrong.
Yes, the first thing that a reader should see is indeed the language of a film industry (particularly when it comes to India, in which every film industry is sorted by language, basically), and the lingua franca of Bollywood is Hindi, as it is mentioned in possibly every Indian film article, and almost every source on the article. The use of Urdu is mentioned perfectly, its use has been fading, and today most films do not even have Urdu scripts in the opening credits. "Encyclopaedia of Hindi cinema", the largest book written about this film industry, published by Britannica and written by the likes of Gulzar, as well as numerous other books which you can see on the net, acknowledge Bollywood as Hindi cinema, and this is how it has been known for years. Film certificates, too, mention Hindi as the language of Bollywood films, and the term Bollywood in indeed informal (and mind you, it is a term used to refer to the industry, not the industry itself).
Your attempts to erase them border on vandalism, and your penchant to accuse others of nationalism will not be taken lightly. Your insistence to see everything as negative and think that everyone is based on national grounds is of least interest to me. I'm not here to serve your agenda, and do not expect me, or anyone else, for that matter, to follow your personal preferences. Want to start another long discussion? Do it! But please do cite sources (which you never do, because everything you say is right, isn't it?) and do not feel you own Misplaced Pages because you do NOT.
Next time you revert, I will report you on ANI. Instead of dictating, enforcing your biased views, and coming here from time to time only to revert someone, I suggest you to contribute to the project by trying to improve it. I personally am trying to do it every day. Enough is enough. Shahid • 22:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Indian playback singers
The article List of Indian playback singers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Multiple issues
While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nouniquenames (talk) 18:07, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I noticed your message on the talk page of the article. I was the one who proposed its deletion. Since I used the PROD (PROposed Deletion) method, you can object to the proposed deletion. Since it is a PROD, simply delete the tag from the top of the article to object and cancel the deletion process. (Note that this only applies with a PROD, not a nomination into Articles for Deletion). --Nouniquenames (talk) 15:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Bukhari link
Zora, I saw you removed the link I added for a translation of Sahih al-Bukhari. In defense of putting it back up:
- The current and only link for Sahih al-Bukhari is down and has been down a while
- The current translation is missing a lot of hadith and has a lot of typos, and every single hadith (except the first two) have the wrong reference numbers.
- Sunnah.com is not a "religious" site, i.e. there is no preaching going on. It just has translations.
- The translator for both is actually the same - the version on sunnah.com has just been cleaned up more is all.

Reply on your review at Ibrahim ebi's talk page.
Thanks, for your elaborate review on the templates. ( Detailed reply is on my talk page ). -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 09:35, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Hadith
Zora, I was not implying that collecting hadith was unique to Shi'a. Please re-read my edit. However I do believe the phenomenon of compiling 100+ volume compilations that are in common circulation in the post-mediaeval period is uniquely Shi'i.
Currently the article implies that Shi'a only use 4 hadith books which is not true.
If you feel that I stated it in a misleading manner, why don't you edit what I wrote to make it clearer instead of just deleting it.
I would appreciate it if you would put my addition back, and if you feel it needs to be improved, all the better.

Hadith - reply
With respect, I am a specialist in this area, and speaking from the perspective of knowledge of the subject area. I also referenced my additions. Your comment "I am sure that..." suggests that you are not specialized in this subject field.
I was doing my bit to improve the article which was clearly not appreciated.
Anyway...I am not going to sit here and fight over the page because I have better things to do, however in the future I would request that you take the time to investigate the subject area deeply before making revisions on things just based on your personal intuition.

Bukhari teachings
It wasn't my intent for that to be the only teaching, it's just one I came across, I figure there are ways to present the more important or controversial ones of note. Since it refers to the specific passage I figure it wasn't implying to represent the entire content. Ranze (talk) 01:58, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- It's not exactly just my own POV, the whole way I came across this was because of reading about it multiple reasons on various discussions about it. Anyway I don't see how it's PoV to pick one out, we can pick others out too and add them, if they're interesting, but still has to begin 1 at a time. If we never reproduce 1 line alone, we'd have to introduce many in one fell swoop and that's kinda hard.
- Anyway why should we only be presenting what so-called "scholars" choose to look at versus what they ignore? Who establishes their reliability? What establishes their opinions as notable? Degrees from institutions which are notable because... ? Ranze (talk) 03:43, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
I guess I'm also concerned about neutrality, assuming they know more from having studied more, doesn't mean what they know will be presented. The issue here isn't even what it says, I already provided a reference (from the database we link at the bottom) showing it says that, just whether or not it should be highlighted. If we have already established enough notability of issues concerning Islam and LGBT for it to have its own page, wouldn't that establish the topic as notable enough to post any hadith phrases pertaining to the issue?
If not on the Bukhari page itself, would it warrant mentioning on the IaL article then? Ranze (talk) 06:16, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Succession to Muhammad Page
Hi Zora I noticed that you have been involved with the Succession to Muhammad page. I added some content into the Succession to Muhammad page but Kazemita1 keeps on removing it citing copy right violation even though I gave the references and the whole page is already full of quotes from various books. I want to avoid an edit war. I want to improve Misplaced Pages so that it contains researched scholarly content, that is useful to the readers. This whole article is full of people pushing their opinions. There needs to be a critical analysis of the content on this page. Various books have been written on this issues through out the ages and this content needs to be put into a table so that people could compare what was said when and by whom and why.

Hawaii edit-a-thon!
Hello. I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November. The hope is that our lackluster coverage of Hawaiian mythology could be improved with help from the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Pacific University, and the Honolulu public library. I am in the process of making initial contacts with these organizations as well as Wikimedia DC's GLAM project. If this sounds like something you might be interested in participating in, or perhaps helping to coordinate, could you please add your name to 2014 Makahiki Edit-a-thon?--v/r - TP 21:24, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Looking for editors to help with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu

On Oahu? Edit Misplaced Pages or Wikimedia sister projects? You are invited to help the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center with an Asian Pacific American edit-a-thon in Honolulu this September. |

Aloha!
Last summer I moved to the Seattle area after 14 years in Kailua on Oahu. I immediately fell in with the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group as it formed, joined its board and became its first president as well as the GLAM representative for Washington State.
Recently, Adriel Luis, Curator (Digital & Emerging Media) at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, contacted me about setting up an edit-a-thon like the previous Misplaced Pages APA edit-a-thon. In addition to discussing one for Seattle, he wrote:
| “ | It's awesome to learn about your past in Honolulu - I'm actually going to be there for another SmithsonianAPA project mid September, and thinking that this could be an opportunity to do an event there as well! I have lots of contacts with UH and the museums, but do you know of any contacts on the Wikimedia side out there? | ” |
As I was working two jobs while I lived on Oahu, I did not have the opportunity to meet your or any other Wikipedians at the time. Hence, the reason why I am contacting you now.
If you would like to help, please contact me through one of these methods:
- Email me directly at peaceray@cascadia.wiki
- Use Special:EmailUser/Peaceray to email me
- Leave a message for me on my talk page.
Mahalo,
