Peer review

Project members are invited to submit articles to the department in lieu of using the generic peer review process.

Resources

Reference materials

In accordance with general directives on

WP:REDFLAG
, It is especially important for the source to be of high quality (and perferably there should be multiple sources) when assertions about Islam are made which are unsupported by mainstream academic opinion.

The editors should not write for example "Some Muslims argue X" and then reference it to some Muslim websites unless they could show that the website is representative of the thought of a particular significant group.

    • Please note that websites such as "Answering-Christianity.com" are not reliable sources, because they are neither written by famous scholars nor peer reviewed works. Articles at islamic-awareness.org are usually signed by the authors. For those articles, if one can establish that the authors hold an official academic degree (Western or Islamic) and are notable, they could be used when properly attributed to the authors. Articles at islamic-awareness.org are more likely to have references. So, if you found something there, try to look up for its source and then look up the original source. If you are lucky, you'll get a good sourced piece of information.

Arabic Wikisource has many relevant works in the Arabic language. See the Islamic collection there.
