CRT on the Supreme Court
Hi Malik, Your improvements to the critical race theory page caught my attention. To my interest, my research has turned up that Sonia Sotomayor was strongly influenced by CRT some years ago and is the only one on the Supreme Court with this in her history. During the last week, I have been adding material from 3 new books on the Roberts court to her page and am almost done. Because of her unique background, I thought to ask you if the article is anywhere close to an upgrade by peer evaluation. She would be the first woman on the Supreme Court to reach the highest level of peer evaluation at Misplaced Pages. Possibly you could give the article a once over when/if time allows to let me know if this unique judge deserves this attention. I ask this only if this field is of interest to you and if time allows. LawrencePrincipe (talk) 00:29, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Lawrence. I'll try to take a look at Sonia Sotomayor in the next week or so, but my schedule is tight and I may not be able. You might want to request a review at WP:Peer review. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:46, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Help me to improve and restore the article Mulyashop
Hi, I have created a article Mulyashop about a new e-commerce company in India, yesterday. And its got deleted with reason A7. I have only put the factual data. Guide me how can i improve the notability or tell me about the mistakes I have made.

- In order to qualify for an encyclopedia article, a company must be "notable". Please read WP:COMPANY, the relevant notability guideline. Based on a Google search, it appears that Mulyashop does not satisfy the notability requirements at this time. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 16:32, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Advise on potential problem
Hi Malik, I'd like to get your input on a situation. Recently when I discovered that a User has been removing material from several porn star articles I posted this notice on their page . Then when I began to add back the sourced material and , the User began immediately reverting and respectively.
Am I correct in my interpretation and Notability is for articles and not sources? Furthermore, these are statements of fact cited to a non-self published source. Lastly, the User calls the source Primary when its clearly a collection of biographies written by a 3rd party.
At this point, I don't know whether to take this matter to the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard or the BLP Noticeboard or another similar venue. I'm not sure if this is about content, a source, or editor behavior. Your thoughts and recommendations are appreciated. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

- You're right: notability applies to the subject of an article. But Hullaballoo Wolfowitz is also right: including a book like that is spam, and citing it as a source about itself is primary sourcing. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:12, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- OK, fair enough, but so I'm clear on the distinction. Citing it or mentioning that a person is featured in it is primary sourcing? I thought only a book that was written by the subject could be considered Primary. Is it primary because the writer interviewed the subject directly? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 04:33, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- It's a primary source because you're citing the book as a reference about itself. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 16:55, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- OK, so assuming its legit biography, I can do one or the other? Use it as a secondary source about the subject or state that they were featured in the book? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 01:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Hungry Jews
ADL estimates Jewish Hungarian population to be 100,000 so does the Jerusalem Post and the Forward. Now the so-called report takes into account core population only: "A Jewish survey in 1999 reported a conspicuously larger enlarged Jewish population than expected The enlarged Jewish population in Hungary is assessed at about 85,000 in 2012". Can you elaborate on why exactly do you think this old report from the year 2012 is so sacredly true while a report from World Jewish Congress, that also happen to have a Hungarian Jew for a president, is not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ItsAlwaysLupus (talk • contribs) 22:31, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- Please see my message at Talk:Jews on the subject, and stop edit-warring. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:09, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
American muslims
Hey Malik, under the American Muslims page, majority of the pictures are African Americans. Blacks represent 1/3 of all American Muslims. Can we please add more Arab muslims into the picture. Most of the muslims come from the Middle East or North America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karansarathy (talk • contribs) 22:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
