Mission

The mission of WikiProject Islam is to ensure that Islam-related-articles on Wikipedia are written in an encyclopedic style, in a neutral and non-sectarian manner, using verifiable and reliable scholarly sources. This is the best place to discuss issues which affect Islam-related articles in general. Discussions about particular articles should be handled on the talk pages of those articles.

Dos and Don'ts

As with any other Wikipedians, there are things which contributors to this project should and should not do:

DO:

  • Identify gaps and material shortcomings in Wikipedia's current coverage of Islam-related topics.
  • Discuss and debate how we might bring Wikipedia's Islam-related articles to academic standards of quality and citability.
  • Make it clear in everything we say and do that members of all faiths and creeds are welcome.

DO NOT:

  • Do not use articles to push your particular view on Islam or issues relating to Islam, be it generally positive or negative, or sectarian. All edits should be made in the spirit of accurate documentation, with no purpose to attack or defend. Use objective and reliable sources.
  • Do not single out editors as promoters or enemies of Islam. Assume good faith.

This page offers guidelines for style on Islam-related articles. Visit the talk page for current discussion.
