[edit] Copyright

Seems like some of the content in here comes from http://bahai-library.com/encyclopedia/aqdas.html. Not familiar with the copyright rules...is this an issue? Dremo 04:39, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Not sure. My incling is its bad, but I'll ask someone to take a look -- Tomhab 19:59, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

well it's pretty clear that that is the source for most of but there doesn't seem to be much, if any, direct cutting and pasting. Geni 04:59, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Book cover

I would prefer the previously used picture (the blue version published by the Bahá'í World Centre). The Kitáb-i-Aqdas is the 'Most Holy Book', and I feel that cover is more fitting to such a status. The quality of the scan is better as well. Wiki-uk 16:28, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree, I like the blue cover better. -- Jeff3000 16:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I changed it because on the blue version it's harder to read the words on the front. If you find a third option that is nice and readable it would be nice. But go ahead and change it back to the blue one. Cuñado - Talk 16:40, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dowry

I wish to have some mention of the amount of gold and silver is prescribed in this Book around Dowry. A line as simple as "A dowry of gold for a city dweller, silver for outside the city, is conditional on marriage for the male to pay the female. The minimum ammount is 2.2 ounces and the maximum amount is 11 ounces."RoddyYoung 15:41, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Put it as a note beside the bullet on the dowry in the Laws section of the Baha'i marriage page. -- Jeff3000 15:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest adding it to this page and Baha'i laws. Cuñado - Talk 15:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've added it to this page, the Baha'i laws page, and the Baha'i marriage page. I've used the metric equivalent of approx 1 troy ounce. -- Jeff3000 16:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
