Hi,
A "neutral" summary of 53rd Syedna succession controversy (Dawoodi Bohra) obviously cannot use mumineen.org factual statements, given its headline
:"Bohras adhere to the Shia Fatimi tradition of Islam, headed by the 53rd Dai al-Mutlaq, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS."
This is clearly a partisan website. I reverted your edit as I consider it a violation of WP:NPOV. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 10:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
:I find your revert, removing the Hindustan Times source in favor of a twisted representation of other sources, highly disruptive. Thanking me for introducing a neutral point of view and then undoing it only makes this worse. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 08:44, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

:::Please stop pushing your POV on Mohammed Burhanuddin#Succession controversy. As I've indicated before, I don't really care what you find important; I care what reliable third-party sources find important. You keep adding the phrase "Court proceedings indicates numbers of succession pronouncements", where the [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Spell-out-steps-you-took-to-be-spiritual-head-since-2011-Bombay-HC-tells-Syednas-uncle/articleshow/34390197.cms source] only describes the lawyer of one party announcing to produce evidence of such pronouncements. Also, you've still not provided proof of this diary entry being important in any way, except it being announced as important by one side in the conflict. Since neither the veracity nor the importance of the diary entry is established by reliable sources (as you indicate in your own edits, which restore sources marked with {{verify credibility}}), it doesn't belong on the page (yet). My main quarrel is not with the readability of your edits, but with their verifiability and neutrality.
:::I suggest we resolve this issue on 53rd Syedna succession controversy (Dawoodi Bohra) and its talk page, instead of going into an edit war. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 10:18, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
:::: Ok, but the reader should be made aware of the important documetary information available in the relavent article please.--Md iet (talk) 10:26, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::Then establish its importance. There has to have been some more recent coverage of the court case. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 10:27, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
::::::The content of document itself speak about it's importance. Source 'describes the lawyer of one party announcing to produce evidence of such pronouncements' with even mention of all the specific years. These all are part of court proceeding hence the sentence "The court proceeding indicates numbers of succession pronouncements' is a well sourced statement. Only details of 1969 case is from the source affilated with one party hence we may call it from primary source. We may doubt on story but copy of 'written document' presented is a written proof from primary source and as per WP:WPNOTRS it claims space in the related article. --Md iet (talk) 10:53, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::::I'm not sure which document specifically you're referring to, but your reading of WP:PRIMARY is off. It explicitly states (and this is policy): "Unless restricted by another policy, reliable primary sources may be used in Wikipedia; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them", adding in a footnote, "Any exceptional claim would require exceptional sources." Given the existing dispute over 53rd Syedna succession controversy (Dawoodi Bohra) I say that both the veracity and the importance of the diary entry represent exceptional claims.
:::::::Of course, the statement that one side of the dispute has produced a document that they say is a diary entry by the late Syedna etc. is not an exceptional claim; I see no reason to doubt the reporting on that. But then WP:UNDUE comes into play: in what is supposed to be a short summary of a dispute, you shouldn't present one side's arguments but not the other's, and when you go into detail on both sides, it's no longer a summary. The fact that the other page is under dispute means you have to be extra careful.
:::::::Let me ask you a question: what exactly is wrong, in your opinion, with the summary of the dispute that is currently displayed at Mohammed Burhanuddin#Succession? In my reading, these are the key points of that section:
:::::::# the Syedna appointed his son successor and the Dahwoodi Bohra community agreed;
:::::::# Khuzaima Qutbuddin and a group of believers did not agree;
:::::::# the late Syedna's son won the support of a majority.
:::::::Is this an accurate, neutral, well-sourced summary? Are these not the key points of what should be on the controversy article? If not, why not? QVVERTYVS (hm?) 19:22, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
::::::::Please read WP:WPNOTRS: 'Primary sources are often difficult to use appropriately. While they can be both reliable and useful in certain situations, they must be used with caution in order to avoid original research. While specific facts may be taken from primary sources, secondary sources that present the same material are preferred. Large blocks of material based purely on primary sources should be avoided. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.'
This policy allows for: 'specific facts may be taken from primary sources'. In the present case specific fact is a 'written document a dairy entry (which itself clarify all the doubts)'. Hence as per WP:WPNOTRS this source can be used.
The key points mentioned above are definitely key points, but still some key points remain hidden,which are very important as the article is on Burhanuddin. Hence summary is incomplete, some 'specific facts' related with subject Burhanuddin are hidden.
The present ‘succession’ summary give message:
1. After stroke , Burhanuddin appointed Mufaddal in 2011 and community agreed.
2. After Burhanuddin’s demise mufaddal took office in 2014.
3. This challenged by Khuzaima who claims being appointed 50 years earlier.
This summary is not correct and not complete as per sources.
1.The appointment declaration of 2011 was not first decl;aration after stroke, but a public reconfirmation of earlier appointment, which was originally first made in 1969. This is clearly indicated in the court case proceedings : “That pronouncement was made in 1969, 1994 and 2005 and only reconfirmation was done in 2011”.
2. Obviously Mufaddal took office after Burhanuddin’sdemise in 2014, but
3. The challenge was made by Khuzaima in 2014 and not before . This fact remain hidden as timing is very important.
Hence the present summary not depicting the full information available in various reliable sources.
Regarding your objection of presenting only arguments of one side, it is right. We may summarise the sentence further. But this is article of Burhanuddin and the all the action done by him on succession need full coverage , but definitely in NPOV manner considering the dispute raised.--Md iet (talk) 06:38, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
