Immediate attention

State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Irreligion in Africa. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130821130236/http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/article-128332/why-we-dont-believe-god to http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/article-128332/why-we-dont-believe-god

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 18 January 2022).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Why? edit

Why do people remove obvious non religious people from Africa eg Nawal El Saadawi, Zara Kay, and many other Egyptian atheists? Nlivataye (talk) 09:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'm not clear as to what you mean. Can you cite an example, like a wp:diff where people remove obvious non religious people? I assume you are talking about removal from this article, as each article's edits are discussed on the same article's talk page.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:23, 21 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Update: It turns out that Garemoko removed all your additions without explaining why. They were in part correct and in part incorrect in doing so. Note that names appearing in lists must be people who already have Wikipedia articles. And they need to be blue links. To create a blue link, you need to [[Nahla Mahmoud]] surround the name with paired square brackets. That way, you get Nahla Mahmoud. Further, note that Wikipedia does not allow improper capitalization, such as capitalizing nouns and adjectives; Wikipedia only capitalizes proper names in articles.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:26, 21 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
