Adam was not born

[edit]

The infobox says he was born on Day 6, 1 AM, but he was not born; he was directly created. Should the infobox be changed to say "Created" and "Died" instead of "Born" and "Died"? Luke10.27 (talk) 21:49, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

lead section

[edit]

The lead section has paragraphs on the view of Adam from Christian, Muslim, and Gnostic viewpoints. It seems to me that there a similar paragraph about the Jewish viewpoint. Ike9898 (talk) 16:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is that the leadsection is a summary of the article, but there is no section about Judaism in the body of text. (And no, Judaism is not Christianity without the New Testament). As soon as there is a section dedicated to the concept of Adam from Judaism, based on reliable sources (Original researches from Torah, Tanakh, etc. are not reliable), a paragraph for the Jewish perspective can be added. Therefore, the lead should be added by another topic as soon as there is more in the body of text.

Concerns about inapproprite photos

[edit]

Dear Wikipedia Editors, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns about the images currently displayed on the article about Adam (alayhi salam). The images in question depicts a naked man and, as such, may not be appropriate or respectful, considering the religious and cultural sensitivities surrounding the depiction of religious figures. Adam (alayhi salam) is a significant figure in many religious traditions, and there is no verified or accepted image of him. Consequently, I believe that displaying such an image may not be suitable and could be perceived as disrespectful. Could you please consider removing the image or replacing it with content that adheres to Wikipedia’s guidelines on sensitivity and respect for religious and cultura LILIA ROSALIE (talk) 18:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, LILIA ROSALIE, can you point to the WP policy on sensitivity and respect that this particular imagine goes against? Wikipedia is not censored, and I don't know if I agree that the image in question is offensive or inappropriate. Or, can you point toward an image that would be more aligned with what you're looking for? SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 18:41, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello SPF121188, Thank you for your response. I appreciate the policy on censorship and understand your point. However, my concern is more about cultural and religious sensitivity rather than censorship. Depicting religious figures, especially in a manner that can be perceived as disrespectful, could offend many people from different backgrounds. Could we perhaps find an alternative image or representation that respects these sensitivities? and personally i find the most of them offensive cause those drawings don't represent him.
