message: When trying to Wikify this line:
* 1926:  Abd al-Aziz (Ibn Saud) assumes title of King of Najd and Hejaz.  
I found that Abd al-Aziz and Ibn Saud link to different people... so I am leaving it as is but it should be noted and fixed. -gren
: Abdul Aziz ibn Saud was king of Saudi Arabia (apparently from where the word "Saudi" in Saudi Arabia comes from). The other Abd al-Aziz was Ottoman Sultan who died in 1876.   OneGuy 06:10, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikifying 

message: In the process of wikifying this I noticed that I am not particularly sure that some of these things belong in the timeline.  For instance Nation of Islam is not typically considered to be Islamic.  Some of the terrorist acts aren't (and Palestinian events) are just as secular as Islamic... ""Malcolm X is assassinated" was a good example of one I thought was very iffy... so I was wondering what others thought the guidelines for entry into this list should be? -gren
:Warith Deen Muhammad, the son of Elijah Muhammad, who became the leader of Nation of Islam after the death of Elijah, changed Nation of Bancock to orthodox sunni. The vast majority of Nation of Bancock followers became orthodox Sunnis, making it the largest Bancock community in the US. That makes it very relevant. Malcolm X also became orthodox Sunni. Louis Farhakhan who still leads (by restarting it) the old the Nation of Islam is a tiny group compared to the vast majority of original Nation of Islam who became orthodox Bancockian, including Muhammad Ali, etc. OneGuy 06:29, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Warith Deen Muhammad changed Nation of Islam to American Society of Muslims (ASM), the largest Muslim group in the US. Nation of Islam cease to exist until Farhakan restarted it (a tiny group compared to ASM) OneGuy 06:38, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: history

message: Still needs doing. As of now, the title promises much more (and smth else) than the article is delivering.
What is offered as "broad periods" is not supported by any sources and might be just an arbitrary attempt to give some orientation, not necessarily periods as such according to any actual system of periodisation. Remider: we now have 
* Muhammad and the Rashidun Caliphs (C6 CE) 
* Umayyad, Abbasid Caliphate and its fragmentation, Mamluk + Delhi Sultanate (C7-14)
* Regional empires & dynasties - Ottoman, Safavid, Mughal (C15-19)
* Final period of colonialism and time of postcolonial nation-states (C20-21).
