• 16:1516:15, 1 June 2020 diff hist −394 List of converts to Islam Andrew Ibrahim was removed from the list as, according to a BBC recount of his background ( https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-46404028 ) , his local Muslim community condemned his crimes; he is not notable as a Muslim convert but primarily as a terrorist, and the belief system (Islam) that this page now associates him with would create a terribly inaccurate and misleading image; the very community that follows this belief (Islam) were the ones who alerted him to the police(in article)

• 15:3115:31, 30 May 2020 diff hist 31 List of converts to Islam Adjusted the description for Michael Finton as it otherwise is unfitting and very misleading to be in a list of notable Muslim converts. Based off the NYT article about his case and his background (https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/28/us/28springfield.html) the alteration clarifies how Finton's actions conflict with the belief-system he is currently being identified with, though even then it would be more accurate/honest to remove him as he is notable only as a criminal and little else
• 15:1715:17, 30 May 2020 diff hist −1,538 List of converts to Islam John Allen Muhammed, Jose Padilla, Neil Prakash, Derrick Shareef were removed from this list as they do not represent notable Muslim converts, but instead represent radicalised convert-criminals, of which there are of course many around the world, but unlike the plethora of human endeavours/disciplines, it seems to only people in the realm of criminal activity who have been especially cherry picked for this list, and would be terribly misleading to include in a list for notable Muslim figures
• 15:1315:13, 30 May 2020 diff hist −988 List of converts to Islam Jack Roche, Vladimir Khodov, , Khalid Masood were removed from this list as they are not notable Muslim figures; each of these 3 is notable only for the circumstances of the criminal activities that they became infamous for, and are not notable in the public sphere for their presence as Muslim figures but only as criminals that happen to be converts, in which case there may well be many around the world but it would be disastrously inaccurate and misleading to put/associate them in this list
• 15:0615:06, 30 May 2020 diff hist −658 List of converts to Islam Patrice Lumumba Fords and Jason Walters were removed from the list as they both represent figures who are not notable for either their presence nor work as Muslim converts but are foremost known for criminal activity, only some of the many many criminalised Muslims globally who, unlike all the other spheres of human activity and endeavours that Muslims take up, have been cherry-picked to be included in a list of notable Muslim converts thereby creating a very misleading image
• 15:0115:01, 30 May 2020 diff hist −275 List of converts to Islam Sultaana Freeman was removed from the list as she is not notable for her presence as a Muslim convert in any manner other than for public controversy, and stands only as an ordinary Florida citizen who caused a stir in the news, not for her role nor presence as a figure to be publicised nor recognised.

• 08:3908:39, 30 May 2020 diff hist −317 List of converts to Islam Christopher Paul was removed from the list as he is not notable for his work nor role nor even authenticity as a Muslim convert but is, rather, a radical criminal, potentially cherry-picked amongst the many criminal converts around the world, and who would be inaccurately associated onto a list of notable Muslim converts
• 08:3608:36, 30 May 2020 diff hist −175 List of converts to Islam Ibrahim Savant has been removed from the list as he is neither notable as a Muslim convert nor even a notable criminal who happens to be a convert; it would be misleading to include his name, as a cherry-picked criminal, to be associated with notable Muslim converts

• 07:5407:54, 30 May 2020 diff hist −123 List of converts to Islam The description for David Hicks was changed as it conflicted with the fact that the US itself has since voided his conviction on the grounds that it was a clear breach of Article 15 of the ICCPR, as well as the Geneva Convention, as well as numerous international human rights
• 07:1407:14, 30 May 2020 diff hist −82 List of converts to Islam The mention of Kerim Chatty's preliminary inquiry has been removed as it is irrelevant to his conversion nor indicative to any insight, furthermore the very case itself was dropped, hence it's mentioned is removed so as to prevent any slander on the individual's conversion by linking it with a case that "was dropped"
