Dhimmi communities incomplete

There's sections to early Christian and Jewish communities in the Levant and Hindu communities in India (Buddhists aren't really covered), but where's the data on Christians in North Africa and Spain, Zoroastrians which were a major religious group in the early caliphates, Jains, African polytheistic religions and the old Arab polytheist religion?

Hindus and Buddhists section

This section doesn't seem to be directly connected to the topic. There does not seem to be any discussion of Hindu or Buddhist Dhimmi communities (though there are references to them elsewhere in the article) and infact the term is not even used once.39.37.185.43 (talk) 02:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Unsourced claims of second-class status

I placed the unreliable source and citation needed tags on the claims of second class status in this argument months ago and since there has been no effort to add sources I am now leaning towards deletion. The only source provided is a link to a much less reputable wiki page, which is not a scholarly source. If you want to source what that page says you have to follow the sources from that page and link those. You cannot just cite an ideologically biased wiki page as definitive evidence on a historical topic. Those who wish to keep the references to supposed second-class status would do well to add a real source before it is deleted. Puma6374 (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Edits by IP

This edit by IP is problematic. It adds to the lead something that is not covered in the body. The lead is for summarizing, not adding new information. It also doesn't capture the nuance in the sources.

Finally, linking "non-Muslim" to kafir is controversial at best.VR _talk 15:51, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 November 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Dhimmi. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

RegentsPark, just like you found reliable sources for the word, "unbelievers" and linked that word to the Kafir article in the Jihad article, I request you to do the same here, that is, link the first occurrence of the word, "non-Muslim" to the Kafir article. I am unable to read what your sources say in the Jihad article. Thank you very much. 2405:204:5197:8209:F40:6AB3:9CF9:4CF0 (talk) 16:50, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Anyone can do so. Thanks in advance.

I could find this, this, this and this online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:5197:8209:F40:6AB3:9CF9:4CF0 (talk) 17:09, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

The term kafir and non-Muslims are not always interchangeable and many Muslims feel it is somewhat of a slur.VR _talk 17:26, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
