[edit] Merge

There needs to be a discussion for a tag. I am against it because I think most books get a page whether they deserve it or not... and this book may even deserve it. So, maybe give this a week of discussion but I think it's probably clear that it will remain its own page. gren グレン 05:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Most of the Christoph Luxenberg article deals with this book. BhaiSaab talk 18:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crone

So, what do you think about Crone in her new article calling this work "amateurish". I think we need to add some depth to articles about methodology because we tend to lump Qur'an-related skeptics into one group when they have many internal differences. gren グレン 05:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Section "Context of Luxenberg's thesis"

I am sure this is interesting material but I do not see what this has to do with the book , as the book is not making any arguments regarding the date of the early Qu'ranic manuscripts so is should probably be taken out or moved to some other article that addresses the early dates of the Islamic materials.--CltFn 20:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Right. This was just stuff left over after moving most of the "C. Luxenberg" page here. This should be dealt with. Something else: I see you quoting from the English edition, Ch 18, in particular. I received a Acrobat 'review copy' just the other day. Where did you get it from? You got one of these, too? Azate 21:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
No , though I wish I had a an acrobat copy , I got it from this page [1]. How did you get the acrobat copy?--CltFn 21:41, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I got an email from the publisher who offered copies for academic and press review. Apparently I was on their email list (no idea how I got there, but it suits me fine). Azate 21:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I sent you an email.--CltFn 21:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
For your info , I have a copy of the English version. It will be interesting to see what happens next , as the news of the English edition spreads and more English reading academics get ahold of it and its ramifications begin to sink in , in the English speaking world.--CltFn 05:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References 1, 2 and 3

The link for reference 1 links to a blank page. I have found an archive page which contains the interview with Prof. Luxenberg which I have made reference 2. I have also created a reference to the original Italian article from the original Italian website (http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/).

Perhaps someone would like to translate this into English, check that it agrees with reference 2 and post it on an English language website.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SyrioAramaicReadingOfTheKoran.jpg

Image:SyrioAramaicReadingOfTheKoran.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.
