Our Assessment Department


Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Charismatic Christianity. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Title

WikiProject on Charismatic Christianity

  • Charismatic Christianity was chosen because both Pentecostalism and Charismatic movement have arguably narrow technical meanings, where Charismatic Christianity encompasses both

[edit] Scope

This project will create a reliable and comprehensive guide to everything related to Pentecostalism, the Charismatic movement and their offshoots and relatives. These articles should be included in the Category:Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity or one of its subcategories.

Articles within the project's scope will include people (leaders, preachers, evangelists, theologians), places (churches, colleges), practices (tongues, prayer, spiritual gifts), concepts (teachings, doctrines, movements) and institutions (ministries, organizations, publications). The history of charismatic Christianity (pre-Pentecostal views of the gifts, the beginnings of Pentecostalism, the rise of the charismatic movement) as well as its contemporary manifestations (current preachers, revivals) will be included.

[edit] Potentially controversial inclusions

This project will include groups and figures such as Victor Paul Wierwille and the Children of God who are not considered part of mainstream Pentecostalism or the charismatic movement. Their inclusion is not a judgment on whether they can be considered "Christian", but an acknowledgement that they have important features in common with, or find their roots in, a form of charismatic Christianity.

These articles have been selected by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team for inclusion in one or more release editions. Please help ensure that these articles remain of the highest possible quality.

[edit] Departments

This project began because of a personal interest in aspects of charismatic Christianity and the observation that the current content on Wikipedia on this subject is of inconsistent quality. For example, there are many gaps (as of writing this, there is no entry for Charisma magazine (US) or the Fountain Trust (UK), for example) and many existing articles are poorly sourced or stubs written from a non-NPOV.

I've selected Jesse Duplantis as my first research subject and have added some material to his biography. The bio needs a lot of work. I'm looking forward to working with you all.

  • Kelevro (talk • contribs • count) I'm trying to do an article on Brian Bohrer, a smaller scale Pastor but whom I feel is notable. I've started going back a forth with an admin. Any help would be appreciated. He is a RHEMA graduate. He was even a Regional director until he stepped down.

  • Writtenonsand 15 March 2008. I'm interested in these topics, though n.b. I am not a Christian, Charismatic or otherwise. Nevertheless, I want to make very clear that my intention is not to troll or make trouble. I will uphold the stated goals of the project as well as normal Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I may make edits or engage in discussions, and I may disagree with other project members, but I will always strive to maintain NPOV and high quality of articles.

I'm a newbie, and a mother of two under the age of 2, so I may not be on often, but I look forward to working with everyone and think it will be a fun project.
  • Jargon777 (talk) 23:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC) I'm a Pentecostal, and am interested in maintaining the accuracy of related articles.


[edit] Tasks

  1. Help get the project page into shape, including creating templates
  2. Identify existing Wiki articles and tag Talk section with WikiProject template
  3. Identify and list significant gaps
  4. Add all articles relevant to this project by category to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Charismatic Christianity/Articles list.
  5. Use the recent changes function to monitor these articles for improvments, vandalism, or other changes.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
