Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:20, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Kaalakaa (talk) 15:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Quraysh, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gaza and Nakhla. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It is clear that you have an Anti-Islam bias. The Prophet Muhammad did not order the raiding of caravans, nor any fighting or battles until the Quraysh had violated the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, which gave a 10-year truce between the Quraysh and the Muslims. He did not force the Quraysh to accept Islam rather, it was the Quryash that forced him to believe in polytheism, and it was the Quryash that prosecuted the Muslims. You removed the fact that the betrayal of the Tribe of Banu Qurayza in the Battle of the Trench had caused the invasion of their clan's fortress. There are numerous other examples of your false accusations of the Prophet Muhammad. Please stop this activity immediately. Chxeese (talk) 18:42, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a place for neutral point of view and reliable sources; it reports the sayings of reliable sources from a neutral point of view. If reliable sources say Muhammad did something, good or bad, it is reported neutrally. Wikipedia is not a place for original research, holy wars, forum debates, or religious censorship. NPOV uncensored reporting of RS on Islam and Muhammad is not anti-Islam or Islamophobic. Accusations of Islamophobia (anti-Islam bias) unwarranted according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines are not welcome on user talk pages. JM2023 (talk) 18:34, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

How is he doing religious censorship? 86.4.8.85 (talk) 17:11, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

by denying verified sources because it conflicts with Islamic belief. JM2023 (talk) 17:48, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

I am not. I have already stated a number of times that the sources that Kaalakaa has cited are unreliable and are authored by does who have an Anti-Islamic bias within them. Chxeese (talk) 23:45, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

statements by editors are not valid sources. for all we know, since it is not defined, the meaning of "Anti-Islamic Bias" is simply rejection of the "Islamic line". your original comment cites no sources, we have no idea of the origin or validity of any claims. a scholarly source, which Kalaakaa provides, is more reliable and therefore carries more weight than an editor's unsourced statements. you need to show reasoning and evidence. the place for that is the talk page of the article, not the user's talk page. you also fail to assume good faith and jump to supposed "anti-islam bias" in the other editor. anyway, this was from over 2 months ago now; it is time to drop the stick. I am unsubscribing from the thread. JM2023 (talk) 05:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

@Chxeese: You threw a lot of serious accusations at me but you don't even know that the raids ordered by Muhammad had already taken place since before the battle of Badr, while the treaty of Hudaybiyya happened after the battle of the trench. Also, try reading tafsir ibn kathir of Quran 9:123, please. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 12:29, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Neutralhappy (talk) 15:19, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Although your account was only created in April of this year, you hit the ground running with an obvious familiarity with Wikipedia. So much so that 3 weeks and 50 edits later you were able to correctly identify socking by a long-term sockmaster and successfully opened this SPI. What editing of Wikipedia did you do before opening this account (other than the 5 edits of the of the Kaalaka account)? I note that in this SPI investigation you were found to be "Possilikely" a sock of Whodatttt/Loverofediting. DeCausa (talk) 17:55, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

If you think I am violating our WP:SOCK, feel free to report it. Kaalakaa (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Or you could just answer my question. What is the answer? DeCausa (talk) 14:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

I will restore an last 8 June 2023 version of article Muhammad if you (@Kaalakaa) do not oppose this. If you do not reply to this, I will consider it as your implied agreement. I give you an ample time of 24 hours for this. Neutralhappy (talk) 01:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but I can't agree with that intention of yours. Please read Wikipedia:NPOV means neutral editing, not neutral content. - Kaalakaa (talk) 07:56, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Kaalakaa, I see that you are able to edit extended-protected articles (i.e., Muhammad, good job there). I would appreciate a few seconds of your time for help with my 30 August extended-protected edit request (the 2022-2023 blockade one) at Nagorno-Karabakh which has unfortunately sat undone for weeks now with no action taken. Just hoping you could fulfil the request for me. It's just a simple source-editor copy-paste right out of the edit request that i took verbatim from the Artsakh article, should be totally uncontroversial. JM2023 (talk) 20:00, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Let me review it first. Kaalakaa (talk) 23:50, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

alright, let me know what you think (PS the paragraph itself is a product of an approved EP edit request on the NK talk page) JM2023 (talk) 23:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, there seems to be some changes in the text on the Republic of Artkash page since you opened the edit request; the most significant is apparently this [1]. Kaalakaa (talk) 00:59, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Interesting, I've reviewed the new text, it's satisfactory IMO and I've updated my EP edit request -- if you could just add the updated request that would be much appreciated JM2023 (talk) 01:58, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Done. 🙂 Kaalakaa (talk) 06:37, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

thanks JM2023 (talk) 07:07, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

There seems to be a discussion about the accuracy of a scholar. I suggest including what other scholars have to say about the author. You can find some quotes here. [2] DenverCoder9 (talk) 16:26, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

You can note that David Cook is himself a notable scholar. You can also find scholars discussion of Rodger's other work to establish whether Rodgers is credible. DenverCoder9 (talk) 16:27, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Kaalakaa, I was just reading some sources about the result of the Battle of the Trench and just came across this WP:RS source (published by Oxford), where in page 96, Watt (the author) states that the siege was a failure for the Confederacy rather than a stalemate. I don't mean to disrespect you or argue, just looking forward to your opinion on this Salman Cooper Mapping (talk) 19:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Salman Cooper Mapping. Please read our WP:OR policy that says:

To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article and directly support the material being presented.

"The siege was a failure for the Confederacy" is not the same as "the Confederacy's defeat". As an analogy, Ali's failure to defeat Muawiyah does not mean it was Ali's defeat. Furthermore, the statement that the battle was a stalemate in the current revision of the article is supported by two publications from Cambridge University Press. — Kaalakaa ^(talk) 05:07, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification Salman Cooper Mapping (talk) 14:27, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
