May 2020 edit

  Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view). The text you deleted from the article on the Deobandi included a quotation from page 7 the source. In your edit summary you stated "WP:OR, This is not what the reference states."[1] Go check the source again. Look at the 8th line of the second paragraph on page 7. It starts "Deobandis and Barelvis are, for all intents and purposes, identical to one another: Sunni Muslims, Hanafi in law, Ash'ari or Maturidi in theology, adhering to multiple Sufi orders, and sustained institutionally through madrasa networks." You need to read the whole of pages 7, 64 and 100 of the book.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:06, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

You are mixing things. Nobody is denying this. Firstly it is irrelevant. What constitutes OR is the claim that there are only 3 arcane theological differences. There are far more. Syndr0nes (talk) 07:13, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Page 7 says "In truth, the real fault lines between Deobandi and Barelvis have mostly to do with their divergent views on three theological concepts..."-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:22, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply


  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deobandi; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
