Blind editing, edit-warring

Tarikislam64: The following materials have twice been removed from the article, so here they are for consideration. (The Clifford Wright materials became separated: here they are restored again.) I believe them to be correct and reliably cited, and hence to have a place in the article. Wikipedia is a collective venture and it works by consensus.

"Fairchild Ruggles refers to the universal nature of gardening, and the basic human needs it fulfills; the needs to cultivate, to master the wild landscape, and to bring order to it. The spiritual aspects of gardening, according to this view, were a later development. She further points out the classic formal garden, known as the Charbagh (or Chahar Bagh), is but one form which exists in the Islamic civilization; a civilization which has traditionally included peoples of many faiths and cultures.^[1]

Clifford A. Wright, an author on Mediterranean cuisine, describes different garden types for different purposes:^[2]

"The Muslims had different kinds of gardens serving different purposes. The bustan was the garden of the inner court of a house, a formal garden with pools and water channels. The jannah was an orchard with palms, oranges, and vines irrigated by canals. The rawdah referred in particular to the vegetable garden that produced foods for the cooks."^[2]

The information may be correct and cited properly, however it didn't seem to follow Wikipedia's guidelines as to how an article should be properly written. Referencing authors directly is not typically used in Wikipedia's guidelines. Also, many of the points seemed very biased or irrelevant, in the sense that it doesn't aid to the information of what an "Islamic Garden" truly is. Many of the crucial information that was presented in the deleted portions, was included in the additions that I included, such as the introduction of the Charbagh design. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarikislam64 (talk • contribs) 04:20, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
