Good heavens trawling through the edit history of Muhammed is a thing of beauteous wonder, there are edit wars within edit wars
My favourite one has to be the endless battle between those editing pbuh after every mention of his name and removing pbuh after every time it's edited back on
As far as I can tell using the wayback machine to roughly pinpoint when Gustav Weil appeared as a cited source for Muhammed's death, it's around 2006 somewhere
Some hilarious differences I've found:
Criticism of Muhammad has existed since the 7th century. He has been attacked by his non-Muslim Arab contemporaries for preaching monotheism, as well as for his multiple marriages, possession of slaves and his military expeditions across the Middle East. - 2015
According to the nineteenth-century colonial administrator William Muir, Muhammad in Mecca was a man of good faith, but after the Hijra, he says, "There [in Medina] temporal power, aggrandisement, and self-gratification mingled rapidly with the grand object of the Prophet's life, and they were sought and attained by just the same instrumentality." Muir accuses Muhammad of manufacturing messages from heaven.[80]Other criticism is over Muhammad's marriages, especially with Aisha whom, according to hadith, was six when Muhammad did the marriage contract with her father and started living together when she became nine.[81][82][83][84] - 2006
2006 didn't pull any punches, by 2015 all the editors became pussies
Within Islam, he is considered the last and most important prophet of God (Arabic Allah).[7] Muslims do not regard him as the founder of a new religion but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham and other prophets whose messages had become misinterpreted or corrupted over time.[8][9][10][11][12] - 2006
The revelations (each known as Ayah, lit. "Sign [of God]"), which Muhammad reported receiving until his death, form the verses of the Quran, regarded by Muslims as the "Word of God" and around which the religion is based. Besides the Quran, Muhammad's teachings and practices (sunnah), found in the Hadith and sira literature, are also upheld by Muslims and used as sources of Islamic law (see Sharia). While conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom were largely negative, appraisals in modern history have been far more favorable.[14][20] Other appraisals of Muhammad throughout history, such as those found in medieval China, have also been positive.[21][22][23][24][25] - 2015
I knew Wikipedia was a battleground of biases but I didn't realize it was this retarded, whole swathes of information just disappear depending on who makes the edits, and such information does not reappear, or else a lie appears and takes its place with vigor for years unto today
Plus the usernames are hilarious, lots of Bergs, Sciences, and Truths + something else
And I've felt a deep companionship, a thorough connection with one I shall never meet - God forgive, Yahweh be merciful, Allah bless and Brahma accept Yahel Guhan into your domains.
This user is no longer active on Wikipedia as of July 2008.
To anyone who reads this, please note that my reasoning does not apply to everyone who edits wikipedia, though it applies to enough of the editors to make a difference.
For three years I have wasted hours time on wikipedia editing and trying to resolve some of its problems, and what do I get for it? Absolutely nothing but hassle and stress, while watching all my hard work get reverted by some political activist who disagrees with me. Well I’m sick and tired of it. I’m done trying to fight political activists who have nothing better to do in their sorry lives than promote their most radical political views (usually by means of censorship and making crap up). I’m done reverting vandals who add racial slurs to articles, and people who just make stuff up which never gets reverted, and racists who insist on having their perspective promoted, usually through fighting and persistence. Now, I will admit I am not unbiased, but I have realized that in order to get anything done here, I have found myself taking a stand far more radical than my actual beliefs just to balance out some of the radical activists. Well I’m sick and tired of it. Wikipedia users and administrators do next to nothing to resolve the problems with this wiki, and some are even part of the problem. Hardly anybody gets blocked once they become well established, or a so-called “respected editor.” It is virtually impossible to de-sysop a corrupt or bad admin, and even tougher to get rid of an editor. Well I have learned one thing from this above all else. An encyclopedia that anybody can edit does not come out with good results. Anybody can edit anonymously means just that. Anybody, no matter how radical their views are, can come to wikipedia to do whatever they want. After editing, and seeing what a cesspool wikipedia is, it amazes me how people ever trusted some of the crap is posted here on wikipedia. I’m done trying to fix it. The wiki is not fixable, as many of the editors are part of the problem. The sooner the so-called wikipedia community realizes that, the better the wiki will be in the long run.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yahel_GuhanYou brave keyboard gatekeeper, you tried to achieve the futile, and your efforts were forgotten until this day, where some random anon did tear at the heroic sacrifices you made on behalf of humanity... In vain.
I shed two tears, one from each eye. An effort was made, a valiant effort. Yahel Guhan, rest easy retired, you've fought as a keyboard soldier and done your time in hell, shitpost in peace.
Also lol looking up Yahel Guhan he was a pro-choice, pro death-penalty, Jewish atheist in favour of world government butting heads with the likes of Truthseekers, self-described adherents of "Muslim Nation", or the interesting battle to delete, edit or support the page on Naveed Afzal Haq
I'm getting too sidetracked and I need to sleep anyways; though I sleep knowing I was vindicated. It is interesting to note that Yahel (who notes this themself) their views grew more extreme in response to continually battling against opposing extreme views, where Yahel went from being as biased as a soft idealist liberal to by the end being a world government death-penalty abortion supporting nihilist abandoning their passion as a futile endeavor plagued with psyops
Wikipedia actually crushed Yahel's hope in humanity
How the fuck can anyone dare to trust that piece of shit, let alone cite it before my eyeballs, is beyond me - beyond Yahel
