| Started an entirely new article on Islam by editing my lecture notes. This version still requires a lot of cleaning up, which I will tackle over the next few days. [[User:Robert H. Stockman|Robert Stockman]] 19:03, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
| | Given the problems we have had with Islam-related articles generally, I dreaded coming to this one and was surprised to find it in such good shape. Obviously, the more competent editors had it under control and made sure it stayed within scope and also retained its authenticity and credibility. I've archived all of the old discussions.

| Hi, I've made some edits/suggestions which you're welcome to revert. I didn't deal so much with an overarching concern, which is that the voice seems to lean more to a Muslim self-description (emic) rather than a university-level outsider's view (etic). You may want to differentiate the traditional description, based on the Quran and later Islamic sources, from a more historical-critical account. That's why I added 'traditional' to one of the headings. Anyway, it's a full and ambitious article, good luck and hopefully we can help each other out as time goes by.

| Thank you, David, for these edits. Most are very useful. I have smoothed out a few sentences by adding pronouns. I have dropped "traditional" because I don't think my description of the life of Muhammad is traditional at all. That would include reference to miracles, for example. It is "respectful" but as an academic historian of religion, it seems to me that is part of my ethical obligation. I don't depart from academic perspectives; I am not sure there is a single "etic" understanding of Muhammad. More a bit later. [[User:Robert H. Stockman|Robert Stockman]] 13:13, 11 May 2007 (CDT)
