The point is to write it in the third person. Entire sections should not be quotes. Good material, but will need some change in language. Ie. if a quote is from a book, then it should be cited as so. Alos, there's a way to use footnotes more efficiently at Wikipedia:footnote. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 22:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, some if it appears to be copyright violation (ie. a straight lifting from a copyrighted text, unless she released it into the public domain?), I'm not an expert on this, so can someone simply convert this into their own words in the third person?

[edit] Question

Do women carry kirpan? Or the other "5 Ks"? If not, are there other differences?

[edit] NPOV - Not exhibited

Hi There,

Regarding the section reproduced below:

In Eastern Society, the Muslim religion also demeans women. The holy Koran contains explicit details concerning the inferior treatment of women. This includes the right of a man to divorce his wife, never vice versa, and the wearing of a veil to cover a woman's face, called burkah, in public. The Koran reminds men, "Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) ... And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them."2

I believe that you have not used a Neutral Point Of View. You have stated a "fact" in which the above paragraph would imply, to anyone who does not know better, that all Muslim women are treated in an inferior manner. YOu have not cited any of the passages in the Quran, which advise on treating women equally which you should do as well. Also, in the statement above you are expressing your opinion. You need to re-phrase this to be neutral.

Please read up on the neutral point of view, within the help pages on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view

[edit] What, no men in Sikhism article?

WOMEN DO CARRY KIRPAN AND THE 5K's. THEY ARE TREATED WITH RESPECT.

How about page 304? Arrow740 05:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
