Support[edit]

Hello, The Eagle107 and I hope you're doing well. I just recently got a notability on Al-Khattabi page which you helped me on. I used only secondary sources that were quoting medieval sources and I'm confused to why they issued me this? If you could help me I would really appreciate you, many thanks. Ayaltimo (talk) 16:24, 09 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Ayaltimo: The topic is notable, but the sources you have cited in the article are not good enough. I've added several additional sources to the article that provide significant coverage, and I think now the article is clearly meets the general notability guidelines. Good luck and all the best!--TheEagle107 (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayaltimo: By the way, when you have some free time, please see WP:ILL. Thank you.--TheEagle107 (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I knew I could count on your support! I will definitely look into it and try to learn. Ayaltimo (talk) 10:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of content Feb 2023[edit]

Hello, and Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one or more of your edits on the pages Al-Tabari, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Darimi, Abd al-Rahman al-Awza'i, Dawud al-Zahiri, Ibn Majah and Abu Dawud al-Sijistani have been reverted. While these edits may have been in good faith, they were difficult to distinguish from Disprutive Editing since you have removed long-standing stable content backed up by Reliable sources. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. Ahl al-Hadith is not a creedal school, since it is an early scholarly movement and "traditionalism" is an English academic term that is used to refer to Atharism, in the context of theology. The relevent sources on these had already been notified to you, as you're aware. [1] You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. shadowwarrior9 (talk) 5:38, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


@Shadowwarrior8: "Unexplained removal of content"?! Seriously?! I have written in the edit summary, "We have to go with what the source says. Traditionalist, referring to one of the Ahl al-Hadith who adheres to the traditional authority in dogma; while Athari is referring to one of the followers of Ahmad ibn Hanbal in 'aqidah..."

Secondly, you have been warned before, not to add original research. Original research is material saved in article space for which no reliable published source exists, or material that is combined from reliable published sources to advance a position not advanced by the sources themselves. Source material should be carefully summarized or rephrased without changing its meaning or implication. Take care not to go beyond what the sources express or to use them in ways inconsistent with the intention of the source, such as using material out of context. In short, STICK TO THE SOURCES.

Can you show me one source that says "Athari"? If you have a source that clearly says "Athari", then you can write that, indicating your source. But the reality is that all the cited sources says "Traditionalist" not "Athari". There is even a source that states clearly that: "the traditionalists (ahl al-ḥadῑth)". [ https://www.jstor.org/stable/40377944 ]

You are confusing "Traditionalists" with "Athari". Athari is a school that derives its name from the Arabic word Athar, meaning "Narrations". The Atharis are often subsumed under the Hanbalite school of law (madhhab); as the Hanbali jurist al-Saffarini said: ‘Ahl al-sunnah wa’l-jama‘ah are three groups: ATHARIS, WHOSE LEADER IS AHMAD B. HANBAL, may Allah be pleased with him; Ash‘aris, whose leader is Abu’l-Hasan al-Ash‘ari, may Allah have mercy on him; and Maturidis, whose leader is Abu Mansur al-Maturidi.’[1]

Here are some sources that shows explicitly the meaning of "Traditionalist":

  • Abū Yaʿqūb al-Buwayṭī, the first successor of Muḥammad b. Idrīs al-Shāfiʿī, made an important but hitherto unappreciated contribution to the formatioṇ of the Shāfiʿī school of law and the convergence of the rival legai approaches of the traditionalists (ahl al-ḥadῑth) and the rationalists (ahl al-raʿy) over the course of the 3d/9th Century.[2]
  • The term traditionalists (ahl al-hadith) is used to refer to scholars who transmit or investigate traditions to establish the soundness of their authenticity.[3]
  • ... and the traditionalist position (usually referred to by ahl al-hadith) that revelation was knowable only by faith, and that human action was primarily determined by God, on the other.[4]
  • By traditionalist, I am referring to one of the ahl al-hadith who adheres to the traditional authority in dogma, as against the claim of rationalists (ahl al-kalām); by contrast, the term “traditionist” refers to a muhaddith, one who transmits hadith.[5]
  • This led to a protracted controversy over the question of the “creation” of the Qur'an, which the Mutazilite made it into a litmus test to distinguish the traditionalists (Ahl al-hadith) from the rationalists (Ahl al-Ra'y).[6]
  • or Traditionalists (ahl al-hadith),...[7]
  • To a traditionalist, a legitimate theologian is one who belongs to Ahl al-Hadith, the partisans of tradition, who set themselves against Ahl al-Kalām...[8]
  • While debate still raged between the "rationalists" or ashab al-ray ("masters of free opinion"), and "traditionalists" or ahl al-hadith ("the people of hadith")[9]

Please stop adding original research to articles, or provide other sources. Thank you.--TheEagle107 (talk) 16:43, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

@TheEagle107: The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. Who told that your definition of what an "Athari" is or isnt, holds any weight? Exceptional claims requires exceptional sources More importantly, Ahl al-Hadith are not a creedal school, they are a scholarly movement, (as is known by plenty of sources) of which creed is only a part of it. Without any attempts to discuss, you just made these edits undermining the Longstanding, stable version.
Yes, traditionalist also refers to "Ahl al-Hadith", Who disputed this? Atharism is the theology of traditionalists or it is the Traditionalist school of Islamic theology. Plenty of academic sources refer to Athari as traditionalism.

This creed is based on the views of Athari or traditionalist theological school that defines the attributes and nature of God based on the literal interpretation of the scripture.[10]

The Hanbalite madhhab, in contrast, largely maintained the traditionalist or Athari position[11]

transnational scripturalist and rigorist piety trends informed by traditionalist (Athari) theology[12]

athar being a synonym for hadith, athari as an adjective denotating a traditionalist, used in names especially as indicating a theological affiliation ..[13]

And more importantly, Ahl al-Hadith themselves are Athari. No reliable source claims that Athari theology is a seperate entity from the Ahl al-hadith current.

The second group – the Ahl al-Hadith or Athari stream – were against any form of reasoning, applying a strictly literal reading[14]

(trans).Adherents of the current of Islamic traditionalist theology(Athari) reject the metaphorical or esoteric interpretation of the Qur'an (taʾwīl), the first representative group for this current being Ahl al-Hadith ("people of the hadith")[15]

Also why are you making Original Research through your own sources?
  • The Roy Jackson book clearly states:

    The followers of Hanbal were referred to as Hanbalites, or Traditionalists (ahl al-hadith), of whom the greatest proponent was Ibn Taymiyya (1263–1328)..[16]

How convenient of you to ignore this part!
  • As for Al-Saffarini's definition, how is his definition binding for Wikipedia purposes? That's his opinion. Even from a theological perspective, this definition isnt binding. Anyone take the definition of Ibn Taymiyya or Ibn Qudamah or any theologian they like who contradicts this definition and claim this is the real Atharism/Traditionalism.
  • As for the Geroge makdisi work, you erased the word "to", trying to present a picture that directly contradict the source.

To a traditionalist, a legitimate theologian is one who belongs to Ahl al-Hadith, the partisans of tradition, who set themselves against Ahl al-Kalām...[17]

This only proves the fact that traditionalists also referred themselves as Ahl al-Hadith and their theology was a part of the Ahl al-hadith ethos.
So its pretty ironic for you to throw allegations of Original Research against other editors, when you remove Long-standing content based on your own mis-interpretation of sources or POVs and violating the long-standing Consensus in Wikipedia.

Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 04:28, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


@Shadowwarrior8: Once again, none of your sources explicitly says "Athari" but rather all of your sources say "Traditionalist". The problem here is that the scholars who were born before the birth of Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241/855), the Imam of the Athari school, cannot be considered Atharis, as you did in the article of Al-Shafi'i (d. 204/820), who was the teacher of Ahmad ibn Hanbal!!! My suggestion to solve this problem: Either you bring sources that explicitly and directly says "Athari" or simply write "Traditionalist" as the cited sources say.--TheEagle107 (talk) 19:24, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Shadowwarrior8: I think you need to see THIS because you're claiming that you have consensus!--TheEagle107 (talk) 21:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TheEagle107: Its telling that you first requested "provide other sources"[2], and when the reliable, academic references are revealed, you suddenly shift the goal posts; which is an indication of the genuinity involved in such requests.
Firstly, the Reliable, academic sources have all clearly demonstrated for everyone that Traditionalism is a terminology widely used to denote Athari theology far more than the term Athari itself. It is a Common English academic term and all the cited references in those articles were in the context of Islamic theology. You simply want to push down your own personal definitions and want other editors to accept it. What is your source that nobody held the traditionalist/Athari theology before Ahmad ibn Hanbal?? Yeah, Nothing.
Even from your own POV, you had no reason to delete these content and categories because all the scholars save for Al-Awzai were either contemporaries or successors of Ahmad. Thus, even Assuming Good faith, your edits cant be seen as nothing but part of an apparent Bias against Athari tradition, which degrades the purpose of encyclopaedia.
And lastly, regarding your 'suggestion" to re-write them as "Traditionalist theology" in the creed section, I dont understand its usefulness. Furthermore, what is the purpose of re-writing the Athari theologians who lived since the late 8th century to the contemporary times to "Traditionalist theology" in the first place?? Athari is the shorter term of the traditionalist theology and more concise to readers. If you wish, feel free to add "traditionalist" or "Ahl al-Hadith" in a seperate row titled "movement", which would be available. Either way, the term "Athari" should absolutely stay; since this is well known in the academia as "traditionalist theology". Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 03:20, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


@Shadowwarrior8: I don't want to repeat what I have already said and mentioned above, but here is another source that confirms what al-Saffarini said in his Lawami' al-Anwar al-Bahiyyah wa Sawati' al-Asrar al-Athariyyah.

Al-Bāqillānī does not see any significant differences between the theology of the followers of al-Ash‘arī and that of Aḥmad Ibn Hanbal (eponymous founder of Atharism).[18]

I think our discussion is done here. Now, if you don't mind, I would appreciate a third opinion on the matter. Any suggestions?--TheEagle107 (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@TheEagle107: All of your alterations except al-Awzai, were either contemporaries or successors of Ahmed. You even removed content from Hanbali scholars like Abu Dawud al-Sijistani, contrary to your own assertions. I'm sorry, but this type of behaviour is totally unacceptable.
This source doesnt prove what you're suggesting either, since even the Roy Jackson source quoted above states that Ahl al-Hadith are followers of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal; yet plenty of scholars before Ibn Hanbal are described as "Ahl al-Hadith" in numerous academic sources.
Also note that the same reference defines Atharism in its Glossary:

Atharism an Islamic scholarly movement, originating in the late eighth century CE, that largely rejects rationalistic theology in favour of strict textualism in interpreting the Quran and hadith. The name derives from “tradition” in its technical sense as a translation of the Arabic word hadith[19]

So not only is Atharism defined on the basis of terms such as "hadith" and "tradition", it also explains that it originated in the late 8th century, when ibn Hanbal was in his teens at best and not a scholar. Furthermore, all your content removal involved late 8th century traditionalist/Athari theologians. Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 15:48, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
@Shadowwarrior8: "Traditionalists" may refer to: Ahl al-Hadith or Atharism. Therefore, I suggest adding the term "Traditionalist" in the template, as the sources say, and linked it to the disambiguation page of "Traditionalism", as it gives all possible meanings.--TheEagle107 (talk) 17:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TheEagle107: This only makes any sense in the context of pre-late 8th century scholars at best and Traditionalist creed/theology isn't anything ambiguous to be linked to some disambiguation page. So no. But if you want to add "Traditionalist" in a row titled "movement", which is more sensible and actually improves the Encyclopedia, feel free to do it, as I've already suggested.
Additionally, going by your proposed logic, the creed of all Traditionalist/Athari theologians from past to present has to be linked to some disambiguation page that confuses the readers. Hence "Athari" should definitely stay; as it is a Common editing nomenclature which is well-backed up by Reliable, academic references. Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 17:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
@Shadowwarrior8: Yes, I think you have got my point. But I'd rather leave it up to you or someone else who would be interested in the matter, to avoid any misunderstanding or disagreement. Thanks for the conversation, anyway! Peace.--TheEagle107 (talk) 19:59, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello again! Wikipedia has several policies, guidelines, and explanatory essays about copyright and attribution in articles: Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia:Non-free content, Wikipedia:Copyright violations, Wikipedia:Public domain, Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, Wikipedia:Non-US copyrights, Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, and Wikipedia:Plagiarism. In my humble opinion, these policies can be summarized as follows: Copyright refers to the legal right given to the deserving creator and owner of the creative work, so they may claim the full benefit thereof and it shall not be used unfairly by anyone else without the copyright holder's permission. The majority of the text and a significant number of images on Wikipedia are licensed under two open-source licenses: the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Both of these licenses allow people to use and change text that they find on Wikipedia, but only as long as attribution is done. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, which means we should be trying to use the best free content available. Because using copyrighted material can put the site in legal risk, and prevents Wikipedia from being free to distribute, going against one of the five pillars. There is an exception to the rules of copyright, which is called fair use, which allows copyrighted works to be used without permission in a limited way for educational or critical purposes, review, scholarship and small quotations with its source attributed. Generally, fair use exceptions are ill-defined, and vary widely from country to country, which is determined by case by case analysis based on factors such as the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used. In order to avoid violating copyright policies, we must obtain permission from the copyright holder, use public domain content, use content under a free license, attribute sources properly and follow the platform guidelines. In short, editors are required to rewrite and summarize the content in their own words and structure without altering the meaning of the original text. Finally, I would like to say to the reviewing admin that the block is no longer necessary, because I understand what l have been blocked for, and will no longer infringe/violate copyright policies. Thank you.--TheEagle107 (talk) 17:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
