Talk:Seeing Islam as Others Saw It

message: "The book presents the evidenciary text of over 120 medieval documents which seem to contradict and refute traditional Islamic accounts of the origins of Islam."
This sentence seems dubious. A review of the book states the following:
::Overall, Hoyland tends to emphasize parallels and similarities between non-Muslim evidence and reports in Muslim literature, and argues that non-Muslim sources can sometimes tell us what Muslims were saying long before the earliest surviving Muslim texts were written. Since the information often turns out to be the same, Hoyland's text could be read as a vindication of Muslim historiography.

message: Why is there a cover of a book sans the Dust Jacket? Seems rather pointless, it serves no purpose.

thread_title: Why

message: :Image:SeeingIslamAsOthersSawIt.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SeeingIslamAsOthersSawIt.jpg

message: What rules to follow?
"As" and "It" both upper-case? None of them? Just "It"?
One edition has all initials in caps. Some catalogues just the "It". We have one version in the title, and another in the intro/lead. That's not OK, whatever rule we settle for.
The LOC entry is simply "Seeing Islam as others saw it".
Are there standards on enWiki? Do they depend on whether BE or AE is used? Do they differentiate between main title and subtitle, so do rules vary before the colon and after? Thanks, Arminden (talk) 13:24, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
