Requesting wider attention
editI felt article Islamic_literature is in bit of neglect so I added my note on talk page there, requesting to take note of Talk:Islamic_literature#Article_review. If possible requesting copy edit support. Suggestions for suitable reference sources at Talk:Islamic_literature is also welcome.
Posting message here too for neutrality sake
Thanks and greetings
Peer Editing
editHello fellow editors! I am a student editor, and over the next couple of weeks, I will be going through this article to edit for organization and tone edits. Specifically, I want to work with the history section to clean it up a bit and create a more encyclopedic tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KDBrox (talk • contribs) 18:52, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @KDBrox: Hello KDB! Would you mind giving me proof that you are a student editor? I don't doubt your ability to do what you are saying, however your failure to sign your comment (before the bot) makes me a little suspicious. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:02, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I looked at your userpage and saw the template. For future reference, when communicating with other editors on a talk page, you must always remember to sign your response using
~~~~, which adds your signature and a timestamp (if you forget a bot will eventually come around and add your signature for you, but you shouldn't have to rely on the bot to sign for you). ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:09, 21 February 2022 (UTC) - Hello again! I apologize for not replying sooner, and I will sign all future correspondence before the bot does. I plan to work on the History section of the article for the next couple of days. My revisions will include making a separate section for examples of short stories as a lot of the history section is currently examples of short stories as well as going through the History section for encyclopedic tone.

XHOSA
editA shot story, olso known as nouvelle, is a piece of prose fiction that can typically be read in single sitting 41.114.235.196 (talk) 17:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- The nouvelle article indicates that a nouvelle is a novella, and so does not belong in this article.—Anita5192 (talk) 22:56, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Extensive list
editThis article has grown into an extensive list of lists of authors and their works. Per MOS:EMBED, embedded lists should be used only when appropriate. Since this article is ostensibly about short stories, I don't think these extensive lists are appropriate and should be removed.—Anita5192 (talk) 19:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Virat Kohli
editMake a story of this topic that how he learn to play cricket. 2409:40E5:95:4820:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:46, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- This article is about short stories in general—not specific individuals like Virat Kohli.—Anita5192 (talk) 04:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
