That's good advice in general, but there do not seem to be any special conditions regarding the editing of this page. Normal[REDACTED] guidlines apply here and unregistered users may edit the article and expect their contributions to follow the wp:BRD guidelines. Edaham (talk) 05:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

You can archive this if you want -- it refers to there being a high number of "drive-by" editors at the time (many with limited English skills)... AnonMoos (talk) 07:10, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Innovation

On this page, there is a section called innovation. The content present in that section is not written explicitly or rather anywhere near it in the reference given below. The reference is a question answer of Salafi site, in which also no clear mention of things written in the content is present. The way it was written is a totally self styled definition which is prohibited according to[REDACTED] guidelines. The reference should be a material in which these things are written explicitly. Then only one can provide the information on wikipedia. I am going to remove it if it doesn't get any proper reference. If anyone has problem then talk.

Persistent undoing of edits in the Sweden section

I have better things to do with my time than creating a Misplaced Pages account and becoming an "editor". The user 1Kwords has persistently and spitefully undone a legitimate edit of the section on Sweden, hiding behind Misplaced Pages policies of one form or another. The claim "Salafists in Sweden are supported financially by Saudi Arabia and Qatar" is utterly devoid of evidence. Nothing! "It was said in a newspaper article so it must be true because a newspaper article is the source in this case" is the sum of the position evident from 1Kwords' persistent, petty undoing of edits. First of all 1Kwords claimed that "Magnus Ranstorp said it" - NOT TRUE. Next, 1Kwords attempted to protest that Magnus Ranstorp is an "expert" (irrelevant). If anyone anywhere in the world wants to make the claim that Saudi Arabia or Qatar financially supports any Salafis anywhere, let them bring one of two things: either a verified document proving the transfer of money, or a person who would swear in court on oath 'yes we received money from so-and-so'. Failing that, "a newspaper said it" is a pathetic, untenable position. This whole farce serves to underline Misplaced Pages's junk status, and that Wiki editors are pretentious pedants who hide behind absurd policies and use said policies to pursue an Islam-hating agenda.

An article by some crazy "NewageIslam" website states: "Saudi Arabia has funded the construction of some mosques in Sweden . There had also been rising number of Salafists in the country." Yet again, the claim of "financial support" is made and....there is no evidence for it. None, nothing, nil.

Requested move 21 June 2022

It has been proposed in this section that Salafi movement be renamed and moved to Salafism. A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly.

Salafi movement → Salafism – The term Salafism is much commonly used than Salafi movement in WP:RS sources. In the Google Ngrams results, Salafism overcomes Salafi movement, Salafist movement and Salafiyya combined. The much-more reliable Google Scholars shows only 1,430 results for Salafist movement, 4,900 results for Salafi movement, and 7,210 results for Salafiyya. However, Google Scholars shows 20,000 results for Salafism, which alone predates Salafi movement, Salafist movement and Salafiyya in Google Scholars as well. Thus, it can be concluded that Salafism is clearly the WP:COMMONNAME. TheArmenianHistorian ((talk), 22:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
