F. C. D. Wyneken
Friends, I noticed that much material here was deleted because it substantially copied my article, "Wyneken as Missionary." I give my permission to copy from my article as much as is needed to tell his story, or from my other works for that matter. It has been a long time since I have edited here, so I cannot figure out how to restore it. Would someone do so or, even better, expand the article based on it? It is really busy here as we approach the end of an academic year. Thanks! --CTSWyneken
Template discussion
Please see Template talk:Christianity#"Eastern Catholic" is not a denomination for a discussion. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 03:59, 19 October 2012 (UTC
RFC on using AD vs CE in articles
There is an RFC here as of a few days ago about using AD/BC vs CE/BCE in articles in general and may affect articles in this project. History2007 (talk) 08:36, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure it would affect it that much, the new style proposal includes using BC/AD in articles that have a specific content based reason to do so (Basically just Christianity related articles...) ReformedArsenal (talk) 12:35, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Neo-Celtic Christianity
Should probably be added as part of the project, but is the lead right in conflating "Neo-Celtic Christianity" and "Contemporary Celtic Christianity"? It uses a book by Koch as a source which doesn't seem to mention neo-Celtic Christianity, and we have an article on Celtic Christianity which has a section heading "Contemporary Celtic Christianity" with (just) the sentence "A self-identification with and use of "Celtic Christianity" is widespread in countries such as Ireland, both among participants in established churches and independent groups.".

Do we want a Christianity "cleanup" template?
Someone just recently remarked that the "cleanup" listings have stopped for some time, because the bot that used to do that is now inactive. I asked about maybe adding project-specific parameters to the general "cleanup" template, and was told that others have gone ahead and created separate templates for their own groups, which probably works just as well. I could probably copy one for use by the Christianity projects, and maybe, depending on circumstances, maybe add some parameters for individual related projects as well. These sort of complicated templates can be a bit of a pain to prepare, and sometimes they take several hours. But, if they would be useful, they might well be worth it. Do the rest of you think, if we had such a template, we might be able to more easily get some editors to address some of the cleanup concerns? I have a feeling I already know the answer, but would appreciate responses anyway. John Carter (talk) 03:08, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- I think it's a good idea, we could also use the {{To do}} functionality for the group to set up a list of tasks that need to be done, part of the reason I am not on here doing stuff too often is that I don't really know where to start... I've been doing my own thing for a while but a collaborative effort would be good. ReformedArsenal (talk) 12:34, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
What should be in the Core Topics work list?
We have an active list of the articles included in the "Core topics" field at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Christianity/Core topics work group/Topic list. Some editors have recently suggested changes to it. So, opening it up for discussion. Which articles should be included and why? Also, are there any articles some of you think might be "core" that don't yet exist? I think that the Christianity related articles included in the list at User:John Carter/Religion articles are probably a good place to start, although, admittedly, it is certainly possible that some articles were assigned for inclusion in the relevant reference but not completed by deadline, for whatever reason. John Carter (talk) 23:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- I am going to make comments there at Misplaced Pages Talk:WikiProject Christianity/Core topics work group/Topic list#What should be in the Core Topics work list?. tahc 04:28, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Overall structure of articles on "Eucharist"
As a reaction to the successful proposal to merge of Eucharistic theologies summarised into Eucharistic theology I have suggested an overall structure for articles at Talk:Eucharistic theology#Merge discussion Jpacobb (talk) 18:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
New list-articles of churches
I've recently started up:
- List of Methodist churches
- List of Anglican churches
- List of Baptist churches
- List of Congregational churches
- List of Lutheran churches
- List of Presbyterian churches
- List of Unitarian churches
- List of Catholic churches
as obviously needed, helpful list articles to organize coverage of notable churches. The list-articles complement categories of churches, exactly per wp:CLN guideline. The startup has been a bit rushed by me, due to shadow of a long-term following editor seeking to remove redlinks that would obviously be created in due time and otherwise to cause disruption, including opening an AFD about the Methodist one (which of course closed Keep). They're just starters now; the Methodist one is the most developed as a start. As I further develop them, they will be heavily skewed to covering U.S. National Register of Historic Places-listed church buildings. Other editors' constructive help in developing these, including to cover other-than-NRHP-listed notable churches, would be most welcome. cheers, --doncram 06:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- If those articles are intended to be a comprehensive list of church buildings, they are doomed to be perpetually incomplete, and likely to suffer the same problems as, say, List of railway stations. However, despite being a net negative for the encyclopædia - an immense timesink which allows somebody to pump up their edit count without actually providing much benefit for readers - it's surely AfD-proof.
