The current Catholic Collaboration Effort is Papal Conclave Voting for the next collaboration is going on now. Vote here. |
Welcome to the Catholicism WikiProject's Collaboration Effort! This effort seeks to identify Catholic-related articles — including doctrines, saints and popes, dioceses, famous churches, and others — that require improvement. On a regular basis, a single article will be selected as the collaboration, and our generous volunteers will work to improve it as much as possible -- perhaps even to featured article status.
Any nominated article which receives five or more supporting votes within two weeks of nomination will be added to the end of the collaboration queue. At the end of each two-week period, unless the collaboration queue is empty, the next article on the list will be selected.
We also take articles from the public domain Catholic Encyclopedia and convert them to Wikipedia articles. The voting works much the same way but articles remain in the special CCE holding tank until they are ready to be published in Wikipedia.
Any editor, registered or not, can help the collaboration and contribute to the fortnightly article. To get more involved, see the project homepage.

How this works
We nominate and vote in a similar way to the Article Improvement Drive. You may nominate any Catholic-related article and vote on as many as you please. Opposing votes are not counted. If you need ideas about articles to nominate, feel free to peruse Category:Roman Catholic Church stubs.

[edit] How to vote
A vote of support for an article shows your commitment to support and aid in collaborating on that specific article if it is chosen. Although you are not required to fulfill that commitment, we ask that you only support articles to which you are able to contribute.
Any interested user is encouraged to vote so long as you abide by the policies of Wikipedia, specifically Wikipedia:Sockpuppets.
Please add only supporting votes. Opposing votes will not affect the result, as articles are added to the queue when they reach five votes (see Approval voting).
To vote for a nomination, edit the nomination and add the following to the bottom of the Support section:
# ~~~~ - (Any comments here.)
This adds your username and a time stamp to the numbered list item. The vote will look like this:
If your vote fulfills the italicized requirements (e.g., "Needs x votes by y date"), please add the article to the collaboration queue for two weeks after the last entry, list the supporters, and remove it from the candidates section.

[edit] History of the Papacy
Support:
- Richard 07:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC) -- I just finished a major of expansion of this stub article and I still have only covered the first millenium of church history. Even that is just a first stab. I can't believe this important part of church history has been neglected all this time. Please come help flesh out this article.

[edit] Contemplative Prayer
- Nominated 27 Nov 2006; needs 5 votes by 11 December 2006 (minimum 2 votes per week)
Support:
- David Chiang 22:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC) -- Article used to be about centering prayer. I'm responsible for the current half-hearted attempt to cover the mainstream tradition of contemplative prayer (e.g. St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila).
- rosenthalenglish I support this as prayer is so important in the life of the church and of us all.Contemplative prayer lifts the soul higher and we should do all we can to tell others about it in a way that will encourage many to start themselves..
[edit] Priesthood (Catholic Church)
Support:
- Tajm 14:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC) -- There are currently four articles on Wikipedia dealing with the Roman Catholic priesthood (Priesthood (Catholic Church), Presbyterium, Holy Orders, and Catholic Church hierarchy. These need to be merged or modified.
Support: DaveTroy 20:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC) I agree with Tajm, as I said on this article's talk page. I have begun to clean it up some, but there are too many related pages, and they need to come together somehow.
Support important facet of our church, and poorly understood by the general public. The differences and ambiguity caused by the need for cleanup with these articles doesn't help at all. Mattbray 17:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Do Not SupportI do not believe that those pages need merging. They are each quite distinct to one another, and should be kept distinct. The Priesthood is a vocation, The Presbyterium is a college of Priests, Holy Orders are a sacrament, and the hierarchy is a detailed explanation of the Hierarchy itself and not merely a restatement of the previous three articles. Eedo Bee 14:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Support It is too confusing to the Wikipedia user not to have one thorough page on this subject.NancyHeise (talk) 21:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Strong Oppose per comment by Eedo Bee THE KC (talk) 21:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC).

- Support This article could use some more info and needs to be cleaned up. I started it in december and it has not been edited to much since. I tried to clean it up but it could be better. Shalom.--James, La gloria è a dio 16:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support This looks almost like a stub, it's so short. It definitely needs work. -- MamaGeek (talk/contrib) 13:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Catholicism and Freemasonry
- Nominated 2 November 2007; needs 5 votes by DATE + 14 DAYS (minimum 2 votes per week)
Support:
- John Carter 22:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC) -- This article about an extremely contentious and difficult subject has a good deal of quality content, but suffers from serious POV issues. John Carter 22:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
-- I agree that this article, and any article dealing with such material is bound to be contentious. That said, I would support collaboration on this subject.--Lyricmac 18:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Summa Theologica
- Nominated 14 November; needs 5 votes by 28 November (minimum 2 votes per week)
Support:
- freenaulij 03:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC) -- This article is a huge part of catholicism and western beliefs about God. I think this article could be raised up to a featured article with some work.
