His first album, [[Al-Mu'allim]], was released in July 2003 and attained huge success. His second album, [[My Ummah]], which was released in 2005, comes in two versions, a musical version and one with just percussion. Yusuf's music comprises mostly of songs to do with [[Islam]] and being a [[Muslim]] in today's world. He also deals with many social and humanitarian issues in his music. At present he is fast becoming a very popular figure in the Islamic world, and has made several videos of his songs.[http://www.samiyusuf.com/video/index.htm]

Nevertheless, he has also sparked controversy due to the nature of his shows which critics claim have more in common with western pop concerts than Islamic spiritual values he claims to espouse.[http://www.muslimsweekly.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1807&Itemid=238] However he has published a rebuttal to these claims on his website.[http://www.samiyusuf.com/messages/2006_06_17_yvonne.htm]

----

His international status has taken a clear enhancement on the second album with the participation of the trio of '''[[Outlandish]]''' on the track "Try Not to Cry".

==JUST IN==

==Biography==

Sami Yusuf was born in July 1980 in Iran. He was born into a musical family thus music played an integral part in his life. Sami’s initial training came from his grandfather, who is a musician. Sami is also a practising Muslim who sees songs as a means of promoting the message of Islam and encouraging the youth to be proud of their religion and identity.

Sami learnt to play several instruments at a very young age and gradually began to show a keen interest in singing and composing. He studied under several composers who had graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London.

[[Henry Clay Frick]] - I'm sure there is an article to be written about this person, but this isn't it.

[[Shadowsnake Films]], [[John Coulthart]], [[The Mindscape of Alan Moore]] were created by an IP with a history of inserting bogus information. Verify that these are accurate and wikify.

===8 January===

[[Asian Tigers]] - stub. I did a quick copyedit and removed ambiguous reference to Tiawan/China. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]]

[[Mass media in India]]- rewrite and wikify

===6 January===

[[Aoi Mac Ollamain]] -- currently redirects to [[Ai]], which is a disambiguation page, which should have a link to [[Aoi Mac Ollamain]]. I think the solution is to write a real article (even a stub) for Aoi Mac Ollamain, but I haven't a clue, beyond what it says at [[Ai]].

[[Afghanistan (1911 Encyclopedia)]] needs to be merged with [[Afghanistan]]. See [[Talk:Afghanistan]]

[[American Revolutionary War (1911 Encyclopedia, part 1)]] and [[American Revolutionary War (1911 Encyclopedia, part 2)]] need to be merged with [[American Revolutionary War]]. See [[Talk:American Revolutionary War]]

[[Charles Stanley]] needs context

[[Abuse]] -- signed by author, non-encyclopedic, needs wikification, etc.

[[Strategic enterprise management]] - complete mess. Format, and the content is completely confused, too. Complete rewrite or '''delete'''. [[User:Lupo|Lupo]]

[[Closer (Nine Inch Nails)]] is an album review, and stubby at that. Worthy topic, needs work. [[User:Meelar|Meelar]].

[[List of historical animals]] and the similarly titled pages it links: are these, and should these be, for "individual animals of historical significance" or other than fictional individuals and/or species, and once that's clear, "historic" or "historical", & should it exist?

[[Al Gore]] has become a paean to Al Gore, especially many recent changes. +the current (3rd Jan) edit skirmish should settle the issue eventually.

[[No-kernel]] (and other contributions of that anonymous user) - sounds like nonsense, needs at least wikification. -Not nonsense, but I don't know whether it's true. [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]]

:It isn't nonsense, nor is it entirely false (though some of it seems to be), but it's skewed. There are many reasons why an operating system should have a kernel, none of which are listed here. [[User:Metasquares|Metasquares]] 14:45, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[[Alkaline foods]] - poor little article

[[Algebra/set analogy]] - needs intro

[[Stain]] + moved to [[In vivo staining]], made [[Stain]] into disambig page. Both still need help!

[[Aircraft attitude]] - makes no sense, needs intro/context setting

[[Youth rights movement in the United States]] -- an anon user has introduced POV into this article.

[[Internet service provider]] - seriously out of date - including much false information. [[User:Davodd|Davodd]]

[[History of Bible translation]] is problematic.[[User:Seglea|seglea]] + ok, I've at least put the credit in now [[User:Seglea|seglea]] Verbose, not high-grade material

[[System 36]] - Has lots of good info, but not written for an encyclopedia. I did some wikifying, but will need more, once rewritten.

[[Wiki communities by topic]] and [[Wiki communities by type]].

- Would these be better in the Wikipedia namespace?

- no content.

[[Who's Next]].

[[Academic Free License]]

- just source text. Needs intro

[[April Glaspie]]

- needs a great deal of NPOVing.

[[Tamagno]].

[[Lyrics]]

- is as much about Wikipedia policy on lyrics as about lyrics themselves. Needs to be split; expanded.

[[Corporate nationalism]]

- diatribe, low information content

[[Tyler Durden]]

- Needs wikification, as well as a discussion of the book which the movie is based on.

[[Residential garden]] +VfD [[User:DJ Clayworth|DJ Clayworth]]

[[Julian Delphiki]]

- unwikified; semi-coherent

[[EIS]]

- disambig?

[[Long boat]]

- what's a long boat? [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]]

- a real long boat is like a sea-going barge?

+ Mentioned Viking longboats, and moved to [[Longboat]] [[User:Adam Bishop|Adam Bishop]]

+ Scratch that, redirected to [[longship]] [[User:Adam Bishop|Adam Bishop]]

- Dictionary says long boat is longest boat on a ship.

[[Peace Pilgrim]]

- expand, decide whether to place under pseudonym or real name

+ still stubby; see talk re name & title.[[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]

[[fish farming]] and [[aquaculture]]

[[Mahmoud Tawallbe]]

- seems somewhat POV but I have no expertise in this area. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]]

[[Danzig Law]]

- what ''is'' it?

- some leads added on its talk. [[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]

[[Mint (coin)]]

- US-centric; rambles a bit.

[[Evolution to 3g]]

==OLDISH==

[[Arnold Matthew]]

- needs someone knowledgable to sort out mess, see talk

[[Andrew Vachss]]

- stub. [[User:Tualha|Tualha]]

[[Rojam]]

- stub, listed on VfD, will probably be deleted unless improved. [[User:Tualha|Tualha]]

[[Chaordic]]

- currently a good candidate for VFD. Deserves a good article.

[[Center for Creative Imaging]]

- needs a bit of POV mods, plus it needs some parents, as it's an orphan.

[[Maqam]]

- what is this? There's a very long Japanese article about that, I assume it's some kind of system of districts?[[User:Eloquence|&mdash;Eloquence]] The Japanese article is evidently on the music meaning. [[User:Charles Matthews|Charles Matthews]]

- This article only on an Arabic meaning, and not very clear about it

[[Carvaka]] - extremely long and unwikified.

[[N. Senada]]

- N. Senada, where the ''N.'' may or may not stand for Nigel, may or may not exist

[[Audio sequencer]] - is there a difference between this and [[Music sequencer]]? If not, redirect.

[[Usage of words for eyepieces]]

- wouldn't be a problem except that's it is linked to in the first sentence of [[Glasses]]. It's a short list of limited use mixed with random speculation (no pun intended). [[User:Bcorr|BCorr ¤ &#1041;&#1088;&#1072;&#1081;&#1077;&#1085; ]]

- This should not be listed here. There is nothing wrong with it. I protest. If you think it should be deleted then list it on [[votes for deletion]].

- I've merged the part about glasses into [[Glasses]]. Same should be done with [[Sunglasses]], then I think we should just make it a redirect to [[Glasses]], which is easier and cleaner than deleting it. [[User:Tualha|Tualha]]

[[Iranian revolution]] and [[History of Iran]]

- Revolution become redir to sec'n in History (which needs sec'n headings anyway IMO)? Shorten revolution portion of History, with link to expanded Revolution article that would get at least the removed material? I incline twd this second refactoring, esp. since next ten years will probably add a lot to the Revolution article. Hmm, or does the next ten years mean we want Revolution to be a redir to a section of [[Islamic Republic of Iran]]? [[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]

[[Build Up Studio Sigma]] and [[Dolphin Factory]]

- two stubs, also orphans. About [[kigurumi]] costume makers. Kigurumi is, apparently, a Japanese form of mask-acting (though we currently have not article for that, either).

[[White Crane]], [[Pak Mei]], [[San Da]], [[Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu]]

- need some rewording/introduction to make them understandable to people knowing not much about Kung Fu

[[Archbishop of Riga]]

- actually extremely old, but I'm not sure what to do with it...it looks like something about coinage at the moment. [[User:Adam Bishop|Adam Bishop]]

- Poorly written, POV, self-referential. [[User:Tualha|Tualha]]

[[Isaac Newton's occult studies]]

- needs a new name! Also wikify, perhaps NPOV

[[The Painted Bird]]

- stub / rant

- duplicates some stuff from [[Jerzy Kosinski]], with much more problems of POV (nasty), delete. [[User:Charles Matthews|Charles Matthews]] 16:16, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[[List of device bandwidth speeds]]

- All speeds have to be verified, some are wrong (conversion Bit/s to Byte/s seems strange)

[[Some More]]

- needs to be merged. See [[Talk:Some More]]

[[Quantum turbulence]]

- sub-stub

[[William Otter]]

- sub-stub

[[William Scott]]

- unwikified, POV?

[[Azie Taylor Morton]]

[[Richard Routley]]

- unwikified

[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2]]

- unencyclopedic as written

[[Russian Marines]]

- sub-stub

[[St.George Cross]]

- should there be a space?

- Also, mention [[St George's cross]] to avoid confusion

[[Datsun 240Z]]

- style

- This car deserves a better write-up [[User:Llywrch|llywrch]]

[[Re Kevin

- validity of marriage of transsexual]]

- was on vfd. Source text moved to Wikisource. Needs more intro etc

[[Trivia]]

- new stub. could be so much more

[[Propaganda model]]

- looks like a copy of someone's syllabus, copyvio? [[User:Tualha|Tualha]]

==OLD==

[[Berlin Air Safety Center, (BASC)]]

- NPOV, formatting (looks copyvio but can't find it) [[Allied Control Authority (ACA)]] ditto - not too POV but need integrating with [[Allied Control Council]] and [[Four-Power Authorities]] [[User:DJ Clayworth|DJ Clayworth]]

[[Culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina]] A single sentence on a writer. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]]

[[Science of Israel]] - needs serious copyedit by someone who knows some science. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]]

[[Gheorghe Muresan]] - the only clear thing about this is that it is POV. [[User:Bmills|Bmills]]

[[List of ologies]]: All the -ologies not likely to become real articles need to be delinked. The existing -ologies linked to from this page need to be checked as to whether they should exist or be deleted. + Most seem plausible to me. Many can probably be fixed by redirects. ([[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]])

[[Hybrid electric]], [[Hybrid car]], [[Gas-electric hybrid engine]] - Title [[Hybrid electric]] is an unhyphenated compound adjective. All are about gas-electric hybrid vehicles, except 1st sentence of [[Hybrid car]], which admits theoretically to alternatives but fails to mention any. Probably make 1st sentence of [[Hybrid car]] a disamb stub under that name, move rest of [[Hybrid car]] and text of other two into one article. I'd choose [[Gas-electric hybrid vehicles]], keeping [[Hybrid electric]] and [[Gas-electric hybrid engine]] as redirects, but that's just me. [[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]

[[Television pilot]] - either expand to make an article or make into a redirect to [[Television program]] with the definition there

[[Bacharach]] - POV

[[List of French violin players]] substub. Do we really need this? [[User:DJ Clayworth|DJ Clayworth]]

- I can't see why. Merge into Violin or something, then VfD? [[User:Tualha|Tualha]]

[[Electrolytic capacitor]] - i fixed many confusions; a pro needs to add info on forming, electrochemistry, hi-freq characteristics (is that what the model inductance is about?), nature of the dielectric. [[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]

[[Zytec Lotus Elise]] - stub on electric sports car, w/ garble & ambiguity listed in [[Talk:Zytec Lotus Elise]]. [[User:Jerzy|Jerzy]]

[[Orders of magnitude]], [[Orders_of_magnitude (power)]] - articles are fine, but dozens of empty and near-empty pages hang off them. Needs (at most) one page per unit [[User:Onebyone|Onebyone]] + power done.

[[Council of Four Lands]]- needs work on english

[[Cold Fire]] - back to being an advert, alas. +non-neutral notice

[[Politics of the United Arab Emirates]] - needs wikification

[[Afium-Kara-hissar]] orphan. From the 1911 Encyclopedia. Badly needs updating.

[[CCNet]] - what's the problem?

[[Cinema of Japan]] &mdash;right now just a list of names. I don't want to delete, as it could be a valid topic, but it desperately needs an actual article. Anything will help. [[User:Meelar|Meelar]] 21:50, Dec 6, 2003

*[[Root cause]] - needs a little magic on it. + no magic, but I have applied a little logic. It's a stub.
