Mostly watching and making minor corrections. I would like to improve articles with serious issues. These require major edits, I aim to do then I find time in between.
That Wikipedia can be used for matters of religion and philosophy as much as it can be used for science.
We frequently find new and ambitious Users, those edits might not be helpful at first. When they edits get reverted, this causes frustrtion especially if the reason is not clear. I decided to make a list below for introduction. Furthermore, I recommand to have a look at the Wikipedia's assistance system. Despite my New-User friendly layout, it is your job to ensure the quality of your edits. I am quick and strict on reverting edits if they have no encyclopedic value.
I observed some common reoccuring misconceptions. Therefore, I decided to make a quick glossar: 1) Belief Systems with one supreme deity:
2) Monotheistic systems:
3) Belief Systems with multiple deities:
4) Other terms
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is often confused with an attempted Almanach or a dictionary.
People can have the same goal, but still different ways on how to approach it. Some edits are controversial, not because they are "hard to swallow" but simply due to a lack of being rather unknown to others. When you see that your edit cannot be summarized in the edit sumary, or reverts start a discussion in the edit-summary, use the talkpage.
Primary source is the source subject to study itself. In case of religion, if can be the Bible, the Quran, a Talisman, or an ancient grave. Although probably the most interesting subject for researchers, this is a no-no for Wikipedians. To properly understand the primary source, qualifications gained by excessive (unfortunately often expansive) studies are required. In your private life, you are free to interprete these sources as you want, and maybe you will even gain quite a few followers. A lot of Charismatic Christians and Salafis did it this way. But numbers do not equal quality. It has no authencity on Wikipedia. Secondary sources are written by qualified and reliable scholars, often published by peer-reviwed publishers and reviewed by more than one independent anonymous researcher of the field. Thefore, they are the most trusted then it comes to the interpretation of primary material. These sources are a direct analysis of the primary source. Tertiary sources gather the statements of secondary sources and present them in a coherent manner. On Wikipedia, you do it for free and for everyone to use it freely. A lot of online encyclopedias charge payment, Wikipedia does not and does not pay the editors. It does not develope primary sources nor does it an analysis of them (secondary sources). This is what Wikipedians are doing.
If you feel you need support for Wikipedia-related articles, feel free to ask kindly on the talkpage. When I have time, I help you gladly. I cannot promise to have time on a regular basis of course. I limited myself to articles I have edited in the past, though. Regard my offer as advising to find into the matter from someone who did extensive research on that for almost a decade and probably outstands a lot of professionals.
I speak/read German, English, Turkish, and basic Arabic. I prefer English here, since I want everyone to participate and udnerstand discussions going on.
