NPOV[edit]

Please keep this article NPOV and in encyclopedic style. I have removed some NPOV material from the Criticism section, and "His books, articles, video and audio tapes are available on the internet for free on his personal web site as well as his translator author Ahmed Baki's Sufism and Science web site." from the Philosophy section. If someone wishes to link the titles to the electronic copy of Hulusi's books, that would be appropriate. Bejnar 19:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who is his master[edit]

Who is his master? I am wondering, who is he? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Astrolog (talk • contribs) 19:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Ahmed Hulusi external link[edit]

On 8 March 2007 the external link to Ahmed Baki's web page [http://ahmedbaki.com/english/ "Sufism and Science"], was removed, with the edit summary indicating that it was in conflict with Wikipedia's external link guidelines. The link is to the homepage of a site that contains a number of essays by Ahmed Hulusi. It is not a static site. It is not a commercial site. I have reread the guidelines, and I am not sure which of them the link to this page may have violated. Could anyone enlighten me? --Bejnar 16:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had removed that link (and links to the same site in several other articles) because they were being spammed across multiple articles by a single user. Per WP:EL, external links for a person should link to their official site, if any. RJASE1 ^Talk 16:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the user who was spamming for the site was User:81.213.243.62. RJASE1 ^Talk 17:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This particular link is appropriate, for it is to an article he wrote--and--in particular--is the only reference to information in English. I have therefore restored it, though changed the wording to make it clear. DGG 19:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No objections from me. RJASE1 ^Talk 19:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Context in lead[edit]

On 1 October 2013‎, I changed the lead sentence to Ahmed Hulusi (born 1945, Istanbul, Turkey) is a Turkish Islamic philosophical and religious author. from Ahmed Hulusi (born 1945, Istanbul, Turkey) is an Islamic intellectual who tries to share his thoughts with other intellectual and inquisitive minds. The basis for my edit was that the tries to share his thoughts version was (1) non-encyclopedic in tone, see WP:Tone Wikipedia articles, and other encyclopedic content, should be written in a formal tone. Standards for formal tone vary depending upon the subject matter, but should follow the style used by reliable sources, while remaining clear and understandable. and (2) failed to adequately provide context as directed by Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, ... However, Aurahale reverted the edit without comment. I would like to give Aurahale and others the opportunity to discuss what content should be in the lead for this article, and how it should be expressed. For me, the central fact is that he is an author, as the article mostly discusses his books and the theories contained in them. --Bejnar (talk) 17:55, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
