Restoring disputed content

edit

Hello JorgeLaArdilla,

If another editor reverted your changes, like in Al-Insan, please discuss and reach consensus before insisting on restoring it again, as happened here [1] [2]. I have explained why I don't think these edits are improvements in my initial edit summary. The etiquette described in WP:BRD is important so that we don't just get bogged down in unproductive revert cycle. HaEr48 (talk) 19:25, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Summary

edit

@JorgeLaArdilla: Per your edit summary here, nothing in the talk page seems to indicate any consensus for the summary list. In fact, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Islam#JorgeLaArdilla's_edits_on_Quran_suras indicates that the consensus seems to tend against the inclusion, that's why I removed it.

I believe I have addressed the issues raised on that page. What is it that you truly object to? JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 22:20, 10 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
But there is no agreement there, in fact most responders seemed to object. I (and other commenters) in that thread have described the objection, e.g. the use of list instead of prose (see MOS:PROSE), undue weight (see WP:WEIGHT) and the often non-encyclopedic tone, e.g. "Unbelievers love the present life". The addition in this page also have those same problems. HaEr48 (talk) 23:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Unbelievers choose this life, but neglect the life to come? Per Lumbard: As with its near analog, Q75:20–21, this verse indicates the manner in which preoccupation with the things of this world distract. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 13:19, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
That's still written in a religious POV. Wikipedia's tone should be impartial, neutral, and descriptive. HaEr48 (talk) 18:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
The line is a summary of the religious POV in/of The Quran. The motivation of the author, in his own words was to enable the average student of Islām to speedily acquaint himself with the main points presented. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 13:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
