Sexual slavery in Islam

I would be grateful if some people with subject knowledge could assess the sweeping edits currently being done to that article. I'm getting the impression that this is the wholesale replacement of one interpretation with another, based on very selective sources, but I simply don't know the subject area. In any case I suspect these big deletes/replacements need some talk page discussion before being implemented. - Also notified WikiProject Islam. --Elmidae (talk · contribs)

Mary Kingsley is in sad shape

Several issues:

  • Multiple maintenance templates on it, some years old (2018, 2022), {{More citations needed|section|date=December 2022}} and {{lead too short|date=December 2018}} plus a recent one about external links. I am not sure what specifically "external links" is referring to, but the other two are fairly self-explanatory.
  • 6 Kingsley Harv cite/Sfn cite issues. Does "Kingsley 2002" exist? Which Kingsley article or book is it? And how about "Kingsley 1901"? I have no idea, but in any case these Sfn cites have no complete citation to target within the article itself. Perhaps someone here can tease out which is which and get this article - at least - out of Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.

That's about it Thanks for listening. - Shearonink (talk) 06:38, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
