A great start

Just added my penny's worth. Apologies if this breaches protocol I'm not aware of. I'm a virginal poster!

No, that's the whole idea -- we edit collaboratively, and no-one "owns" the article. Thanks for your contribution, which has significantly improved the article. (You can read Welcome, Newcomer for more information). -- The Anome 16:12, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)


Can someone please add references!!!

when is Arba'een in 2005 ?

When is Arba'een in 2005 in the Gregorian calendar ?

Number of pilgrims in 2013

Article says:

The number of pilgrims was expected to rise to 18 million during the next two days, Arbaeen reached over 18 million in 2013.

The problem is that none of references are realy neutral (NPOV) and an acceptable source of verification (VER). they are all dependent to shia news agencies. تیرداد (talk) 19:42, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages policy

Please try to adhere to Misplaced Pages policy when editing this article. Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox for promoting personal views or one's favorite branch of Islam. Only state facts backed up by reliable, verifiable sources, not merely opinions or excerpts from various blogs. I intend to remove content which I deem to be contrary to the aims and policies of Misplaced Pages. If you disagree with my edits, please state your reasons here so they can be discussed, rather than merely initiating a edit war.--Anders Feder (talk) 00:06, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey Anders Feder! Is there any valid reason for the following:
  • 1: You've removed some of the sourced materials without maintaining the reason.
  • 2: You've removed some of the sourced materials without maintaining the reason.
  • 3: Most of what you've removed are well sourced materials and are not from blog.
  • 4: I can't really figure out, why???
By the way I also can not understand why you've mentioned edit war. Does it mean that your editions will likely make other editors involve edit war? Mhhossein (talk) 16:03, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Yes, people on a crusade to promote their religion on Misplaced Pages unfortunately often indulge in edit warring because they are unable to have their propaganda included under regular standards of reliability and neutrality, as if being disruptive would somehow make them seem more convincing.
  • 1: The reason is obvious - the sources are not reliable.
  • 2: Same as above.
  • 3: The parts I've removed are not well-sourced, but cite the opinion blog of a "faith leader".
  • 4: The part is not neutral and unreliably sourced.
