[edit] Update

I updated the look of the project and corrected some things like the collaboration to reflect the reality on the ground. My work isn't done, so save all your complaints and compliments until the end. -- SECisek (talk) 11:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

New barnstar for the project. Be bold and show some recognition!

[edit] Baptism_with_the_Holy_Spirit

If someone wants to have a go at the Reformed section of Baptism_with_the_Holy_Spirit, that would be good -- compare it with the first section under the "speaking in tongues" heading, and you'll see that it appears like we contradict the Bible (ie. there are references to being baptised with the holy spirit after the apostolic one).

[edit] Regarding project banner

I have noted how several articles relevant to Christianity have only the banner of more focused projects, several Christianity banners, or no banners at all on the talk pages. This makes it rather difficult for the Christianity WikiProject to keep track of all articles, as well as potentially reducing the number of editors who might be willing to work on the article, if only the more focused banner is in place. If I were to adjust the existing {{ChristianityWikiProject}} to include separate individual assessment information for each relevant Christianity project, and display the projects which deal with it, like perhaps the {{WikiProject Australia}} does, would the members of this project object to having that banner ulimately used in place of this project's one? It might help reduce the banner clutter, as well. John Carter (talk) 18:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds fine to me. --Flex (talk/contribs) 21:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
No problem with me either. Reduced banner clutter sound like a good idea. Blarneytherinosaur gabby? 01:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Huldrych Zwingli

I am trying to take Huldrych Zwingli to FA status. It is now in peer review and it desparately needs comments. Please add your comments here. I found from my previous experience while working on John Knox that articles on Reformation characters (other than Luther and Calvin) do not stir up much interest in the Wikipedia community, so your feedback would be very welcome. --RelHistBuff (talk) 22:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinators for the Christianity projects

I have recently started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity#Coordinators? regarding the possibility of the various Christianity projects somewhat integrating, in the style of the Military history project, for the purposes of providing better coordination of project activities. Any parties interested in the idea, or perhaps willing to offer their services as one of the potential coordinators, is more than welcome to make any comments there. Thank you.

[edit] Expand {{Infobox church/sandbox}} to cover all places of worship?

There is a proposal to convert the draft infobox template {{Infobox church/sandbox}} into a template that can be used for all places of worship. We would like your views on whether you think this is a good idea, and if you are able to help identify parameters that would be relevant to the religion that your WikiProject deals with. Do join the discussion taking place at "Template talk:Infobox church". — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 03:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinator?

It has probably been noticed by most of the editors who frequent this page that there is often a pronounced degree of overlap between the various projects relating to Christianity. Given that overlap, and the rather large amount of content we have related to the subject of Christianity, it has been proposed that the various Christianity projects select a group of coordinators who would help ensure the cooperation of the various projects as well as help manage some project related activities, such as review, assessment, portal management, and the like. Preferably, we would like to consider the possibility of having one party from each of the major Christianity projects included, given the degree of specialization which some of the articles contain. We now are accepting nominations for the coordinators positions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Coordinators/Election 1. Any parties interested in helping performing some of the management duties of the various Christianity projects is encouraged to nominate themselves there. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Much to my surprise, the period for the factual elections of the new coordinators has started a bit earlier than I expected. For what it's worth, as the "instigator" of the proposed coordinators, the purpose of having them is not to try to impose any sort of "discipline" on the various projects relating to Christianity, but just to ensure that things like assessment, peer review, portal maintainance, and other similar directly project-related functions get peformed for all the various projects relating to Christianity. If there are any individuals with this project who are already doing such activities for the project, and who want to take on the role more formally, I think nominations are being held open until the end of the elections themselves. And, for the purposes of this election, any member in good standing of any of the Christianity projects can either be nominated or express their votes at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Coordinators/Election 1. Thank you for your attention. John Carter (talk) 00:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church

This article I've been working on since last July just made GA. (I've added the Calvinism portal tag to it). JGHowes talk - 15:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question regarding project scope, possible subprojects

I have seen some comments about how this project has been judged by some to be less than successful. If that is the case, I think part of the problem might be that the project, in a sense, groups together the Congregationalist, Presbyterians, Reformed, and other churches which share Calvinism leanings, but might not see each other as being extremely closely related. In effect, a Congregationalist might not want to work on Presbyterian articles, etc. Would the members of the project consider it a good idea to "create" distinct subprojects for the major Calvinist traditions, which might potentially be more successful in getting editors involved?

[edit] Requests

  • I notice that Reformed charismatic is currently a redirect to a church that takes this theological position. I would welcome a proper article on this approach. It seems to have grown in prominence in recent years and is a notable development, representing the fusion of two groupings that previously have had little to do with each other.
  • I was also suprised that there wasn't an article on Conservative Evangelicalism, so I created a very crude one yesterday. It needs lots of work as my knowledge of this subject is limited and I've probably written a load of POV rubbish. Perhaps some people here would be able to assist as conservative evangelicals are frequently (maybe even almost exclusively) calvinist.
