Howdy. It looks like your tool labs tools are offline following the data center migration. I suspect all that's needed is for you to follow the instructions at wikitech:Tool_Labs/Migration_to_eqiad#Tools_webpage_shows:_No_webservice. Cheers. - TB (talk) 13:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for taking the semantic issues there seriously. It's heartening but all too rare to come across editors who understand that words have meaning and that meaning matters. Regardless of how it comes out (I'm betting on "no consensus," as always), discussing it with you is the kind of experience that makes editing here worthwhile to me.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 01:47, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

See WP:LINKSTOAVOID, numbers 10, 11 and 12. WikiHow is fine for what it is, but external links for a topic like the Gospel of Matthew (which is subject to much serious, academic literary, textual, and religious study) should just be links to the relevant primary texts and to mainstream, scholarly secondary literature and other such work on the topic, not to user-generated web content. --Atethnekos (DiscussionContributions) 05:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

The labs service has fallen far short of being reliable since we switched to it back in November. Do we need to explore other options? Is there a labs forum somewhere?

IF THEY ARE MUSLIMS THEY SHOULD BE WRITTEN TO APPROPRIATE PLACES

in your template:

  • Alevi & Alawi ARE NOT SHOWN WHICH ARE 1% OF ALL MUSLIMS
  • Druze & Nizari ARE NOT SHOWN WHICH ARE MORE THAN 1% OF ALL MUSLIMS

BIGGER COMMUNITIES AND MADHHABS ARE NOT SHOWN.....

Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij

  • Any group or sect which cannot be classified under one of these is not a part of Dīn of Islam.
  • If you believe that it is a part of Dīn of Islam, so place it under any one of these: Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij
  • In addition, Alevi & Alawi are a part of the Dīn of Islam and THEY HAVE 1% population, then place it into template clearly
  • Druze & Nizari ARE NOT SHOWN WHICH ARE MORE THAN 1% of Dīn of Islam, so place it into the template

68.100.172.139 (talk) 09:27, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

No one is saying that they are major branches. You say that they are not part of the Dīn of Islam. That's great, maybe they aren't. We don't take a position on that. It does not matter what editors say nor even what the truth is. We just follow what reliable sources say; see the core policy WP:V. Friedmann, Yohanan (2014). "Aḥmadiyya".

THEY SHOULD BE ON PROPER PLACES IN YOUR TEMPLATE

The following groups have larger populations...

  • Alevi & Alawi - THEY HAVE NEARLY 1% population of Dīn of Islam, then place it into template clearly!!
  • Druze & Nizari ARE NOT SHOWN WHICH ARE MORE THAN 1% population of Dīn of Islam, so place it into the template
EVEN THE FOLLOWING SECTS

HAVE more members than Ahmadiyya, BUT YOU NEVER MENTION ABOUT THEM IN THE TEMPLATE!!!

ON THE OTHER HAND, MINORITY PARTIES LIKE Five-Percent Nation OR Mahdavia IS BEING PRESENTED LIKE / THE EQUIVALENT OF Sunni & Shi'ite
therefore your template is absolutely WRONG and should be CORRECTED

YOU HAVE TO CLASSIFY ALL SECTS UNDER ONE OF THESE:

Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij

WHY DONT YOU MENTION ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:

  • Alevi & Alawi - THEY HAVE NEARLY 1% population of Dīn of Islam, then place it into template clearly!!
  • Druze & Nizari ARE NOT SHOWN WHICH ARE MORE THAN 1% population of Dīn of Islam, so place it into the template

AS YOU DID IN Ahmadiyya 68.100.172.139 (talk) 22:40, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Why do I have to classify all sects under one of those three? Under which of those do you think Ahmadiyya should be classified?
And I'm not sure what your question is asking. All of those things are mentioned many times throughout the encyclopedia. Are you asking why they are not included in this template? There is no expectation that every sub-grouping be included in this template. Shia Islam is included. Those sub-groups are largely included in the Template:Shia Islam and the Template:Ismailism templates. The Bektashi order is included in Template:Sufism. --Atethnekos (DiscussionContributions) 23:09, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

THERE ARE BIGGER GROUPS/ SECTs than AHMEDISM

  • Alevi & Alawi - THEY HAVE NEARLY 1% population of Dīn of Islam, then place it into template clearly!!
  • Druze & Nizari ARE NOT SHOWN WHICH ARE MORE THAN 1% population of Dīn of Islam, so place it into the template

WHICH ARE NOT IN THE TEMPLATE WHY DONT YOU PUT OR LIST THEM IF AHMEDISM IS ANOTHER SECT PUT IT SOMEWHERE BUT IT ISNT THE EQUIV OF sunni more than a billion nor equiv of shi'ite more than a 100 million

according to your logic?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.172.139 (talk) 23:25, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Similarly you have a private template of Ahmadiyya

Similarly you have a private template of Ahmadiyya as well. Therefore you cant put them there otherwise you have to put Druze & Nizari ++ Alevi & Alawi as well they are on Ismaili template O.K. Ahmadiyya is on Ahmadiyya template do you understand?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.172.139 (talk) 23:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

No one is saying that "Ahmedism" is the "equiv" of Sunni. Members on the template are not determined merely by the size of the associated population. I've never read a single reliable source about the Gülen movement, so I certainly wouldn't try to put it on this template.

Aḥmadī movement IS NOT A MAIN BRANCH OF ISLAM

THE MAIN BRANCHES ARE

Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij

if you claim that it can NOT be put under one of these titles, then it is a new religion, but not islam.

Since you are able to put all the following groups like

Alevi, Alawi, Druze, Nizari, Assasins, Gulen movement under one of these THREE main branches, namely Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij, in a similar way, you can classify Aḥmadī movement under one of them. If you claim that it is so special and cannot be classified under one of the 3 main branches of Sunni - Shi'ite - Khawarij; then the members of these groups, namely Alevi, Alawi, Druze, Nizari, Assasins, Gulen movement CAN CLAIM that they are very special as well. In that case, the names of Gulen movement, Alevi, Alawi, Druze, etc. SHOULD BE written besides the Aḥmadī movement, this is my opinion.

After examining this Template:Islam (FRENCH) Template:Islam in French, I've seen that they moved Aḥmadī movement under NEW MOVEMENTS, you may prepare a similar section and place Aḥmadī movement, Din-e Ilahi, Khojas, Nation of Islam, Five-Percent Nation, Malcolm X, Mahdavia under the title of NEW MOVEMENTS IN ISLAM. French template listed all these groups under Courants non reconnus par l’orthodoxie:

SEE: Template:Islam (in FRENCH) 68.100.172.139 (talk) 05:08, 10 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

It's not a question of what members of groups can claim. Members of groups can claim whatever they want. It's not even a question of what reliable sources can claim. It's rather a question of what reliable sources do claim.
No one is saying that the Aḥmadī movement is a "MAIN BRANCH OF ISLAM". You say that if I claim that it cannot be put under one of those three titles, then it is a new religion. That's just original research and is not allowed on this encyclopedia. --Atethnekos (DiscussionContributions) 06:23, 10 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Equating COI editing to driving while intoxicated and potentially killing people is entirely inappropriate. Please do not restore the image.--v/r - TP 03:53, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

this all seems somewhat past, although the sting is still lingering. Atethnekos i am a bit surprised by your behavior. Granted that TP was aggressive and grumpy. Nonetheless, as a philosopher and someone who participates in DR, surely you can step back and see what is going on. TP feels stigmatized for having admitted paid editing and feels hounded across WP for doing so. Its a sensitive thing. Maybe you were unaware of the drunk driving ad campaign underlying "friends don't let friends..." and just thought it was kind of funny, tongue-in-cheeky. You've been made aware that the joke stung somebody. By the person whose feelings it hurt. Instead of actually hearing the other guy you just stuck to your rights. Which you are free to do. Is that really who you want to be? Jytdog (talk) 03:57, 22 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'm a bit surprised too. I disagree with so many things you've said here, I guess I just don't understand things well at all. For example, you link to [2]. Well, what does that comment have to do with me? If I'm to assume good faith—and I always try to—I would assume that that is not talking about me. Because then it would be saying that I was equating COI editing with drunk driving, when I had already expressly communicated that I was not comparing COI editing with drunk driving. In that case the comment would be merely gainsaying my testimony about my own intentions without an argument as to why that testimony is false, and doing so without being forthright about it, and doing so when the case was already closed. Well, that's not a good faith assumption. So I don't assume it. I just assume that I don't know what that comment refers to.
Maybe that gives some insight into my the general principles behind my behaviour? This probably doesn't answer your question or concerns. I am of course willing to elaborate. There's just so much I could say in response to your comment here, I'm just afraid of saying too much at once. But I can give you a specific response to any part of your comment or to any other questions. --Atethnekos (DiscussionContributions) 08:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
