[edit] Less new articles needing assessment lately

Wow, whoever else is doing assessments lately, keep up the good work. I did ~600 in the last few weeks, but new stubs popping up unassessed seems to have completely stopped in the last few days. I have no complaints about that. Nswinton 21:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions regarding specific project scope

I notice that one of the two new unassessed Christianity articles is about a Roman Catholic Carmelite monk. This raises a question in my eyes regarding the specific scope of this project. Should we try to tag all the articles which relate to Christianity in all of its forms, or should we allow the specific "daughter" projects which may have already tagged articles to not have our banner, as it were, "intrude"? I can see placing the Christianity banner on any article within Christianity which clearly is relevant to Christianity beyond any specific group which may have already tagged it, but think that in instances like that maybe we would be best served if the Christianity banner also included "tabs" for the various other projects, so that we might not have individual talk pages overrun by the banners of multiple "daughter" projects as well as the main Christianity banner.

I think your point is at least worth a discussion, John. Do we want WP Christianity to be a sort of umbrella/mother project that covers all issues relating to Christianity, or do we want to be selective and allow the daughter projects to have whatever is more in their scope than ours? I'm not terribly excited about peer reviewing and assessing every article about every noteworthy clergy, theologian, church building and christian sub-school of thought, myself. I don't think we have enough project members at this point to realistically oversee something like that. At least at this point I'd say we leave the small detail stuff to the daughter projects, and we allow them to submit the occasional article to our peer reviewers or something along those lines.

[edit] Assessment of Indian Christianity work group articles

I have assessed around 60 articles in Category:Indian_Christianity_work_group_articles related to Indian Christianity work group. Please verfiy / update if you think any of them are to be changed. Thanks

Around 260+ were assessed in last 2weeks. There are a total of around 550+ in Indian Christianity work group articles to assessed. The rest will be worked upon as we progress. As said in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Christianity#Removal_of_tags_from_non-important_indian_chirstians_to_the_Wikiproject_Indian_Christianity , the articles unfit for the tag are also being removed. We will update as we progress - Tinucherian (talk) 06:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] missing sentence?

Is there a line or sentence missing at the start of the 2nd paragraph? Aristophanes68 (talk) 04:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Which paragaraph ? - Tinucherian (talk) 06:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Here are the first two paragraphs on the page -- there's something missing between them:

Welcome to the assessment department of the Christianity WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Christianity related articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

fashion through parameters in the {{ChristianityWikiProject}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Christianity articles by quality and Category:Christianity articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

You are correct, I fixed this. -- SECisek (talk) 16:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] general rules?

Why are most biographies to be rated "Mid"? For the overall project, they sure look to me like low importance.

Is there a general rule about denominations? How about individual churches? (I think low for the churches). GRBerry 15:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
