in article "Wikipedia:Neutral point of view" --> "Undue weight" is written:
"Articles that compare views need not give minority views as much or as detailed a description as more popular views, and may not include tiny-minority views at all (by example, the article on the Earth only very briefly refers to the Flat Earth theory, a view of a distinct minority). We should not attempt to represent a dispute as if a view held by a small minority deserved as much attention as a majority view, and views that are held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views. To give undue weight to a significant-minority view, or to include a tiny-minority view, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute. Wikipedia aims to present competing views in proportion to their representation among experts on the subject, or among the concerned parties. This applies not only to article text, but to images, external links, categories, and all other material as well. Undue weight applies to more than just viewpoints. Just as giving undue weight to a viewpoint is not neutral, so is giving undue weight to other verifiable and sourced statements. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject, but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Note that undue weight can be given in several ways, including, but not limited to, depth of detail, quantity of text, prominence of placement, and juxtaposition of statements."
My Question : what do you mean by "popular views" and majority? for example if in one of the wikipedia languages, one view is the most popular and the other views are minority views, but in the whole world other views are majority, which view must be the most detailed one?
in other words, in one of the languages of wikipedia, the viewpoints(majority, minority) of people speaking that language must be presented, or the viewpoints of all the people of the world?
I think it would be correct for English wikipedia to represent the viewpoint of all of the people of the world; because most of the people can understand English -atleast as their second language. but what about the other languages? for example most of the people that understand Persian are muslims. So should the Islamic viewpoint have a more detailed description (depth of detail, quantity of text,...) in Persian wikipedia, as it is the majority viewpoint of people speaking Persian? How can I ask this from the Wikipedia for their official policies?
I have asked this question at many pages (New_contributors'_help_page, talk:Neutral_point_of_view, talk:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias,...), but I haven't got a good answer.
Where should I ask the question about the policies of other languages' wikipedia?

I have reverted your additions to The Golden Rule as you have not cited any source which points out any connection to the quotes you gave. Plus the Quran quotes where they seemed about relevant were more akin to the silver rule I thought. Dmcq (talk) 12:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposal for removing prefixes "Islamic views on xyz" | |
I have started a request move to remove the prefixes Attached with the Prophets in Islam to there Names as in Islam. Like Islamic views on Abraham → Ibrahim or Abraham in Islam as it becomes difficult to search the topic. Please participate in the discussion at Talk:Page Thanks. --Ibrahim ebi (talk) 19:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC) |
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Prophets in Islam may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bathsheba, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tafsir al-Kabir (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just letting you know, per WP:NAVBOX, this template should only be added to articles that are specifically linked on the template. It doesn't mention the sons of Yaqub by name, so it shouldn't go on those pages. StAnselm (talk) 12:17, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
I agree, the name of the templates should be modified, so that no inconsistency is seen ... we have(had) the same problem at Khidr, Samuel, Dhul-Qarnayn & Luqman (even before) Seraj (talk) 15:18, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
