Disruptive Editing on Bekka, Lebanon[edit]

Here is the link: to the discussion page of User:LeoFrank --Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Human Chlorophyll: That's not a discussion. That's one post by you with a vague assertion. Please use the article's talk page to discuss specific points. I suggest you point out a specific reference and state why it doesn't source the text in the article. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:13, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your reinsertion of the paragraph is quite disruptive because none of the given sources corresponds to what is written in the paragraph.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @Human Chlorophyll: That's not clear at all. The sentence "A temple at Bakka is mentioned in sura 3 (Al-i-Imran), ayah 96 of the Qur'an, where it is said to be the site of the first place of worship to God by Adam." has three references. I checked one and it says, "The Koran says: 'The first sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah, a blessed place, a guidance for the peoples' (3:96)" --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:22, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One of the sources given, for example, is "The New Encyclopedia of Islam By Cyril Glassé, Huston Smith, p 302". When I opened the source on this link, I found that the source is actually saying: "Originally, Mecca was called Bakkah". The source doesn't say at all that "the Quranic Bakkah" is a place in Lebanon.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:17, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The another source is given is: "Muhammad and Jesus: A Comparison of the Prophets and Their Teachings By William E. Phipps, p 85". When I opened the source on this link, I didn't find it saying that the Quranic bakkah is a place in Lebanon, but rather, that Bakkah is an early name of Mecca.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the article's talk page for this discussion. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:24, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will copy this discussion and paste it on the talk page for a period of 3 days, then I will remove the paragraph again.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:26, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The issue here is that: "the given sources say that the Qur'anic Bakkah is a place in Mecca (not in Lebanon)", while the paragraph is saying that the Quranic Bakkah is a place in Lebanon.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:37, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearly explaining. In the future, coming to the article's talk page and refraining from calling other editors' "drunkards" will help get to the root issue quicker. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:48, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
