As some of you may have seen, the ] has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the ] are among the best examples of this.

We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.


Ed, though the RFC is worded in particular about your deletion of VFD, the broader point is that you are not exempt from the standards of behavior that everyone else follows. This is a recurring theme, and many (dozens?) of people have taken up this matter with you in various forms at various times, beginning some time prior to my participation here. You up and deleted VFD, well, fine, you better be prepared to take your lumps from the community. Deleting your own RFC is childish and, coming from you, is a terrible example to set for the rest of the project. If you're going to be the elder statesman around here, then start acting like it.

Well, I suppose everyone had their own problems with what you did at VFD. I myself was not particularly concerned about the "rulez." Rulez are tools and have their place. ''My'' concerns were:
# Due to the extensive history of VFD, the deletion and subsequent undeletion bogged the database. This sort of thing has happened before and you should have at least considered the possibility that technical problems could ensue from your edits.
# It appeared that, overall, you were acting impulsively. We just spent ''weeks'' discussing and voting on some fairly minor tweaks to the criteria for speedy deletion. Would it not have made sense to at least discuss what to do with VFD for a day or two? Sure you got everyone's attention. But wasn't there a better way?
# By deleting VFD you have exacerbated the perception in the community that there are two sets of rules: One for the senior admins, and one for everybody else. Of course you can get away with it, but demonstrating that you can do so alienates people who are getting their hands slapped for comparatively minor faux pax. Look at how much reaction ] got when he deleted the ] article (and several others of equal long-term value to the project) out-of-process.
# All the business about it being "against the rules" is a red herring. I think the tone of the RFC should have made that clear to anyone reading it with an open mind. I hope you'll find a way to recover from the wikistress of this all, and take a lesson from it, and stick around to continue the great contributions you make here. ] Co., ] 17:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)


'''From the Editor'''<br>
:I understand all four of your points. I wish I had thought about the database stress of deleting vfd; I had forgotten that it really is a delete, as opposed to a "mark as hidden" function. If it ever gets deleted in the future, we better do it off-peak. I'm ashamed that as an experienced database programmer, I neglected the performance aspect. Your point about ''two sets of rules'' is also well taken. I'm not sure what to do about that at the moment, but '''making it worse''' is certainly not on my agenda! I must ponder this point, because I had also been neglecting it. I also regret my utter lack of perception, of the tone of the RFC. In retrospect, it seems ridiculous that I should approach it with a closed mind; re-reading it has been rather painful to me, chastening, and wounding my pride. Therefore, I think instead of it being deleted it better be archived somewhere handy; I certainly won't be the one to delete it when 5:10 P.M. (my time) comes rolling around. It has been somewhat stressful, but your mention of "hand slapping" and "alienation" puts this into perspective. I'm not supposed to come here for my own amusement, but to work on a project which is really of planetary importance. ] 19:48, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

'''Spotlight'''<br>
]
] is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the ], where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.




:Really - it is Simesa who initially linked the two, and has persistently linked the two when it is to his benefit - but denies any link at all when it so suits his fancy - ah the integrity of it all. As for Arb - I thought protecting an article because another (Apparently unrelated article) needs protection was bad form and tantamount to book-burning - censorship for the sake of sterility, and ought to be arbitrated - the arb request would be to unprotect the article - clearly unnecessary at this point. Welcome back, don't wikistress. ]


</div>
::It's in the Discussion that Ben said if Nuclear Power were unprotected he'd leave it alone if we did, yet he made numerous changes (after Ultramarine, not a party to PAA, did). Therefore I made changes also. Now Ben wants to cry about that and leave Mediation of PAA (this is all exactly as I predicted would happen if Nuclear Power was unprotected). My integrity in this is fine, Ben's is what you'd expect based on his past actions. ] 13:24, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

:Uncle Ed, I think it is clear you have conducted a ] "it is a social rule that ordinary citizens should not pick up garbage from the street, or mend street signs, or otherwise fix problems." Certainly you have drawn attention to an issue you believe needs to be fixed and mended - and quite likely it will get fixed and mended as a result of you drawing said attention. Meanwhile, we must kill the messenger because killing messengers is the instinctive social reaction to bearors of negative news. I am going to follow this as I'm sure many are and going to argue for ]. What you did proably violates rules - however, if that which you blew the whistle on was worse than the minor interuption you caused, then wikiblower protection applies.

Furthermore, the article he quoted from is incorrect in at least one respect: there is no rule against ordinary citizens picking up garbage, not where I come from anyway.

==Hello==
Hi Ed. :-) I've been the first one on your doorstep chastening you before...so I think I'll take a break on this one and just say hi. I haven't done that in a while, and I figure everybody needs a quiet friendly chat in which they are neither being asked for a favor or being confronted about something. Consider this my invitation for a friendly chat at your leisure. :-) Thanks for your hard work, and good luck in the upcoming arbitration (which I personally am hoping will set a wikirecord in ], if not ], or as much as any arbitration case can). If you really want a good chastening from me, you can let me know, and I'll share my perspective on events (I almost offered my services as mediator, but it looks like this is getting beyond that stage), since I think I'm in a reasonably moderate position here. May we both survive our wikistress, and someday see this place even more committed to the principles of wikilove, consensus, and collaboration...sometimes I forget them, and I always pay the penalty. All my best, as always, ] 05:33, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

:An experiment in ], which did not succeed. I think I'll make another try today, if you don't mind. Or is there a way to put templates in my own userspace somehow? As subpages of my user page, maybe? I don't want to 'pollute' the main namespace. ] 13:19, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
]Since its formation in 2006, WikiProject Christianity has come a long way. A significant number of new articles have appeared on a wide range of topics, and the quality of some key articles has seen dramatic improvement. Yet, by the very nature of the open, ] development environment in which we operate, as the number of pages in the project has increased at times our attention has been naturally diluted. We should of course strive for quality everywhere, but we should remember that this newsletter is called ].


Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability.
::Transclusion works for any page, it just defaults to the Template namespace, so that <nowiki>{{foo}}</nowiki> inserts a copy of <nowiki>]</nowiki>, but you can also use <nowiki>{{User:Ed Poor/foo}}</nowiki> to include the contents of <nowiki>]</nowiki>, and similarly for any other fully qualified page name on en. For tests and experiments, it is recommended that they live in your user space. ] 14:19, August 4, 2005 (UTC)


From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.
=Very new talk=


We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.

Hello Ed,


'''Church of the month'''<br>
Once this has somewhat blown over, I wonder if you would be interested in working on a ], or something like that... initially beta-testing a set of deletion categories, then (absent loud screaming objections) creating the categories and applying them to VfD subpages to show that ] actually is a viable solution.
]
The current building of ] in ], England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.


Great show, by the way. Someone needed to stir the pot. In recognition of this brilliant act of subversion, I hereby award you the Deletionist's Barnstar. I would put it on your user page, but I'm not sure if that might be a violation of ]. Of course, you could always cut and paste it there yourself.


'''Good articles and DYKs'''<br>
Hope you're feeling OK about the Ed-Misplaced Pages relationship. We need you here.

{{clear|left}}
Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The ''']''' article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics.


In 2011 ] tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived, of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe.
Visviva


The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. ]' discovery of the ]) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.

Dear Fellow Wikimedian,
I see now that you are up on RFAr and are being quite contrite and willing to accept your lumps (though suggesting resysoping will be "no biggie" is a tad immodest as well). I am not a fan of punishing people just for the sake of whacking them, so I am hoping whatever comes of this will be a remedy that truly helps make things better in the future rather than merely being punative. You've already promised never to do this particular thing again, so there really is no more issue surrounding the deletion of VFD, but I think there is a larger pattern to be concerned with.


You have been invited to the ] ''']''' at Building Five on the ] campus on Saturday, January 18th, from 3-5 PM. Afterwards, we will be holding an informal dinner at a local restaurant. If you are curious to join us, please do so, as we are always looking for people to come and give their opinion! Finally, be sure to ''']''' if you're interested.
You are a bold administrator (certainly one of the boldest). This in itself is not a problem. Sometimes being bold is an expression of that spark of leadership which helps point things in a new and useful direction. Unfortunately, sometimes being bold is like throwing rocks at a hornet's nest; it is very painful and doesn't accomplish much. It troubles me that you sometimes don't seem to know which is which in cases which strike me as obviously the latter. Which brings me back to my suggestion. If you are going to be really bold (like deleting pages out of process, desysoping people, going against a vote, etc.), then I think you would save yourself a lot of trouble if you talked about your proposed actions with someone in advance. Not to mention saving the community from days of whining about what quirky Uncle Ed did now. Having a couple people to say "Yeah, that's a great idea, Ed." or "No, that's absolutely nuts" would have to be better than taking a chance at annoying hundreds of people.
I hope to see you there! ] (])

I am bringing this to you here because I think you are a reasonable person and may well see the virtue in this without any further prompting. However, should the arbitration proceed, I am contemplating suggesting something similar as a remedy there. Call it "bold acts mentorship", wherein there would exist several people with whom you would be expected to communicate before taking any radical actions. You know better than I do whom you trust, but I would suggest that people like ] and ] are sensible choices. You have already suggested at RFAr that you will talk with other admins before making controversial deletions, and what I am suggesting is not that much larger a step.

He showed up on ] and ], tried to claim in the articles that both of them were real, I removed them as POV and unencyclopedic, and obviously so... for all I know those were his first edits here. He sees me as enemy #1 ever since then. He follows me around on articles undoing my changes to spite me -- sometimes even when he admits later that he agreed with the changes but just didn't want to see me get my way. He's consistently rude and calculating. Whenever anyone else posts on my talk page upset about some edit I did, Gabriel jumps in to try to help them edit war over articles. At one point I removed most of the articles on my watch list that I knew he edited because I knew that his constant warring was getting me nowhere, but then he ended up following me elsewhere. He conspired to try to get me banned via false claims of vandalism, and then later filed an RfC with a couple of other problem editors, another of which is also currently undergoind RfAr for his conflicts with others. No matter how nice I am to the guy, no matter how many times I calmly explain the same things (NPOV, verifiability, no original research, civility, etc.) he doesn't listen. His constant stalking and abuse has caused me more than a couple of times to snap at him. I've been the one to report him several times for his latest policy violations, mainly because he happened to be doing them on articles I had on my watchlist (often because he followed me there). Look at the RfC he filed on me. Look at his current RfC (signed by a large number of editors, by the way) for the number of times he's erased my comments from talk pages, swore at me, etc. Look at the RfAr evidence. The guy is simply a major troublemaker who refuses to take responsibilit for his own actions and instead tries to blame other people, and since he's always hoping to try to find a way to get back at me, when it inevitably fails he just gets even more upset. I'm sorry to hear you are trying to mentor the guy, as it's a job I wouldn't wish on anyone. He hasn't appeared to have learned one thing about the proper way to do things in the months he has been here, and it's apparent that it's based upon unwillingness to do so, because he has learned to be more sneaky each time he tries to get away with anything. Lately he's progressed to coming up with complicated and implausible stories to try to justify why he shouldn't be held responsible... his roommate did it, he did it against me so the end justifies the means, he was tired, he was sick, whatever. Even minor things like following the 1RR policy he agreed to as a way to attempt to show that he was willing to change fell completely by the wayside, and he just didn't even try. Blamed it all on me, even the articles I had nothing to do with. If you want to help him, suggest that he either take responsibility for his own actions and follow Misplaced Pages policies or just leave the site entirely. Misplaced Pages isn't for everyone, and I don't even see a glimmer of hope that he will ever become a useful contributor here. ] 13:41, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Ed, I'm interested in why you made two particular edits on Lucky 6.9's RfA.


Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it ]! After the main meeting, pizza and video games in the gallery.
The first edit placed your oppose vote at the top of the list. The votes are always in chronological order, not determined by strength of opposition or support. I have moved your vote back into order.


*Wednesday April 25th '''] (])'''.
The second edit was to state "Note that "voting" alone will not determine the outcome" at the top of the page. It's already known that bureaucrats can exercise discretion, especially in close votes. I don't know what point you were trying to make. I'd like to assume good faith here, but combined with your first edit, it appears that you're trying your best to sink Lucky 6.9's nomination. In any case, Func has removed the statement from the top of the page. I really hope I'm misreading your intentions, but your edits do have me somewhat worried. Anyway, thanks for listening. ] | ] 17:14, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Ed, if you're really interested in presenting Stevertigo's case, please comment on the RfC. I'm rather disappointed in your behavior though, especially this comment .

Contest of the month
We currently have a remarkable lack of Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages-Books. Right now, Category:Misplaced Pages books on Christianity contains only 12 books. We certainly could have at least one book on each major grouping within Christianity. One of the challenges for this month, then, is working to put together books on relevant topics. For this month, one contest is for editors to assemble the basic Misplaced Pages books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the main Christianity noticeboard, and at the end of the month the project will award barnstars to those who have made a significant efforts in developing this underdeveloped content.

Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles. Last month's challenge articles were Karl Beth and Nerses IV the Gracious. Both articles are currently candidates for the DYK section of the main page. This month's challenge articles are the Stub-class article James Hastings and the not yet started Rudolf Sohm, A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.


Calendar
Thie coming month (mid-September through mid-October) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of the Martyrs of Korea, Saint Matthew, Vincent de Paul, Michaelmas, Saint Jerome, Theresa of Lisieux, the Feast of the Guardian Angels, Francis of Assisi, Our Lady of the Rosary, and Teresa of Avila.

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, Albertus Soegijapranata, and Reginald Heber were promoted to FA. Grade I listed churches in Greater Manchester was promoted to Featured List, and Jackie Hudson, Joyce Kilmer, Divine command theory, Bosa of York and Argument from morality were promoted to GA level. DYKs featured this past month include Church of Saint Benoit, Istanbul, All Saints Church, Hollingbourne, Neustädter Kirche, Hannover, St Mary's Church, Kirkby Lonsdale, Albert Ndongmo, If We Are the Body, List of places of worship in Tonbridge and Malling, Kulubnarti church, All Saints Church, Ulcombe, Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey, Igny Abbey, Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, Brăila, Places of Worship Registration Act 1855, Collegiate Church of San Gimignano, and St Matthew's Church, Burnley. Our profoundest thanks and congratulations to all those involved!

Wikimedia Foundation report

As some of you may have seen, the Simple English Misplaced Pages has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the Bible are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the Christianity noticeboard. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks.

WikiProject Calvinism is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the Pilgrims, Presbyterians, Reformed churches, Congregational church, Reformed Baptists, and Low church. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.


I believe
... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a Calvinist.


Help requests
Please let us know if there are any particular areas, either individual articles or topics, which you believe would benefit from outside help from a variety of other editors. We will try to include such requests in future issues.

WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

The core topics work group is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the core topics list. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at WT:X regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter (June 2013)


ICHTHUS

June 2013

From the Editor

Since its formation in 2006, WikiProject Christianity has come a long way. A significant number of new articles have appeared on a wide range of topics, and the quality of some key articles has seen dramatic improvement. Yet, by the very nature of the open, crowd-sourced development environment in which we operate, as the number of pages in the project has increased at times our attention has been naturally diluted. We should of course strive for quality everywhere, but we should remember that this newsletter is called Ichthus.

Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability.

From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.

We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.


Church of the month

The current building of All Saints' Church, Winthorpe in Nottinghamshire, England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.


Good articles and DYKs
The article Jesus received the good article mark last month, as did Cleeve Abbey. A number of churches were featured on the main page in the DYK section in May, namely St. Lamberti, Hildesheim, Karja church, Braaby Church, St Patrick's Liverpool, Vlah Church, Freerslev Church, Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu, St. Michael's Cathedral (Sitka, Alaska), St. Lamberti, Hildesheim, Karja church, Braaby Church, St. Pierre Cathedral, Saint-Pierre, Mont Saint Michel Abbey, St Patrick's Church, Liverpool, Vlah Church, St Catherine of Siena Church, Cocking, Catedral Nuestra Señora de La Asunción, Roholte Church, Notre Dame Cathedral, Taiohae, Leicester Abbey, Caracas Cathedral, Caldey Abbey, King's Mead Priory, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong) andAll Saints' Church, Winthorpe, as well as the hymn What Wondrous Love Is This.

Focus on...

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The Historicity of Jesus article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics.

In 2011 John Dickson tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,he would eat a page of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe.

The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. Shlomo Pines' discovery of the Syriac Josephus) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.

From the bookshelf

Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence by Robert Van Voorst, 2000 ISBN 0-8028-4368-9

Just a few years after its publication, Van Voorst's book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - Blomberg and Harris separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Did you know...

A Handel manuscript
  • ... that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the initials "S. D. G.", for Soli Deo Gloria, at the beginning and end of all his church compositions to give God credit for the work, and that Handel at times did the same?

Calendar
The coming month includes days dedicated to the honor of Beheading of John the Baptist, Saints Peter and Paul, the Nativity of John the Baptist, and Saint Barnabas.

On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Misplaced Pages's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Misplaced Pages.

The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Misplaced Pages Asian Month, and Art+Feminism.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.

Time: Presentation: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, Edit-a-thon: 2:30pm - 6:00pm
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (88th Street), New York City, New York 10128
Guests should enter using the 88th Street entrance via the ramp at 88th Street and Fifth Avenue

Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) ~~~~~
