Hello, I'm Bowler the Carmine. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Abu Bakr seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Dear Bowler the Carmine,

Thank you for your message. i understand your concern about maintaining a neutral point of view on Misplaced Pages. However, i would like to respectfully disagree with your decision to remove my edit

including Shia point of view on Abu Bakr's page can be perceived as disrespectful to the 1.7 billion Sunni Muslims who follow him as the first caliph of Islam. Mentioning opposing views on someone's page can be seen as inflammatory and hurtful to their followers.

in this case, i believe it's essential to prioritize respect and sensitivity towards the vast majority of Muslims who hold Abu Bakr in high esteem. I kindly request that you remove the Shia point of view from this page to avoid causing offense to 1.7 billion Sunni Muslims.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Abu Bakr. Misplaced Pages is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Misplaced Pages to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.

"I removed the claims due to lack of reliable sources. Please provide credible references to support such information, so we can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the content on this page." no need to include them on the page Umayyad-387 (talk) 08:13, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Please try to understand how Misplaced Pages works

Please try to understand how Misplaced Pages works:

• Maintaining a neutral point of view on Misplaced Pages means neutrally summarizing what reliable secondary sources mention about a given subject, and neutrally keeping out what such sources do not mention. It has nothing to do with being respectful or with avoiding offense. If reliable sources are found to be offensive, so will Misplaced Pages. We are neutral with respect to reliable sources, not with respect to anything or anyone else.
• Misplaced Pages is not based on original research into primary sources. Such original research is strictly prohibited. Medieval religious sources like hadith are primary sources, which are not acceptable. What you write here must be based on secular, academic, secondary and tertiary sources. This means encyclopedias, monographs, and journal articles written by professional historians. If you are not familiar with such sources, please either familiarize yourself with them, or stop editing on historical subjects.
• What you are doing on Abu Bakr is called wp:edit warring, which is strictly prohibited. When you disagree with other editors, you should discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Please be aware that edit warring will lead to your account being blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.

Thank you for taking this into consideration, and a happy new year, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 11:40, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
