Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam/Shi'a Islam task force: Difference between revisions

This is a project aimed at increasing the quality of the articles related to the Shi'a Islam, elevating the articles to "Good article" standard, and then all the way to "Featured article" standard. Shi'a We do this by:

• Making sure all statments are sourced using the "<ref>source</ref>" model
• Being well versed with WP:NPOV. This means that no contentious statments should be stated as facts, and that minority views should not be given undue weight.
• Using the most official sources available
• <insert>

As of 2006-08-13, we have 0 (Zero) article in the "Good article" standard and 0 (zero) in the "Featured article" standard.

• Category:Shi'a Islam - needs organizing

There is section on the Mahdi article that claims to list beliefs of the Shias on the Mahdi. Most of those claims seems to be badly cited and if anything extremely misinformed. I believe the section is factually incorrect and does in fact misrepresent the beliefs of Shias. I've started a talk page here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mahdi#Section_on_Mahdi_Doctrine_unique_to_Shia_view....

Please contribute as necessary.

This Center whose goal is to spread the Shi`ite culture through the WEB and create a kind of strong relation between the theological class and the public, is being managed under the supervision of the office of His Eminence, Grand Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him)."[1]
