A mistake in demographics

Hi In the Demographics section it says that Shia Muslims are majority in 3 countries: Iraq, Iran and Azerbaijan. This is wrong because Shia Muslims are majority in 4 countries: Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan and Bahrain. According to the same article it says that 65-70 persent of people in Bahrain are Shia Muslims i.e. the majority Inspector88 (talk) 03:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decorine

There are some words used against religious respect which is decorine. Shia religious is not decoriated.shia following the prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Holy book. 119.155.223.243 (talk) 16:37, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

The grammar of the second sentence needs correcting. It currently reads “…but was prevented from succeeding…” but should read instead “…but that Ali was prevented from succeeding…”. PulvisEtCinerem (talk) 21:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

spelling of Arabic word صحابة in the intro

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Shia Islam. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

what I think should be changed:

why it should be changed: the current romanization is missing the diacritics for "emphatic" consonants and long vowels, and the Arabic text for some reason uses the Urdu? letter gol he instead of regular Arabic ha.
references: this Wiktionary entry for the word itself, and also the article on gol he, which says the letter is used in Urdu, not in Arabic. (the letter at the end shouldn't even be a ha to begin with, it's a ta marbuta.)
