I boldly made the change to "reformer" based on my knowledge of the evidence. Now I am not so sure, because the

Yazidi Origins says that Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir founded the religion, which was subsequently strongly influenced by the pre-Islamic cultural traditions after his death. So from that point of view it does make sense that he was the founder, but that the religion has strong pre-Islamic influences ("roots" may or may not be the right word). On the other hand the page on Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir calls him a reformer -- and did so before I made any edits on that page. I think that I will not make any more changes. Someone with deeper historical knowledge will surely come along eventually. --Ben Best 20:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply

Whoever knows enough about Sheikh Adi to work on this article may also want to address the issue of his name being inconsistently transcribed in this article. Although most of tecarticle’s references to him are using a transcription-system that spells his name as “Sheikh Adi”, one of the articke’s references to him is using a less popular, more technical transcription-system that spells his name as “Şêx Adî” instead. (Same person, different spellings ... this ought to be fixed.) Kate Gladstone - http://learn.to/handwrite (talk) 04:14, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
