Request for comment on the definition of christophobia

Hi wikiproject. I've challenged the neutrality of the Misplaced Pages article Anti Christian Sentiment ] The word christophobia does not belong there. The page discusses hatred and intolerance towards christians. Phobia is defined by Misplaced Pages as a fear of something ]

The reference given is a dead link that goes to a biased source - Council of European Episcopal Conferences [http://www.religiousintelligence.co.uk/news/?NewsID=2930.

I found a neutral source, the Phobia Dictionary on http://www.blifaloo.com/ Stronger references are not available. I searched Oxford Dictionary, Merriam Webster, The Free Online dictionary, among others, none had a definition for christophobia. Likewise, a search of the publication archives of the American Psychiatric Association turned up nothing.

I respectfully request the word christophobia be removed from the Anti-Christian Sentiment Page.

Christophobia currently redirects to anti-Christian sentiment, even though you don't want that article to mention that term at all. A likely solution would be to create a new article at Christophobia specifically to explain that term, and what it has been used to mean, and by whom - since you say it is something different not covered by "anti-Christian sentiment".

Request for comment on Biographies of living people

Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.

The two opposing positions which have the most support is:

  1. supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
  2. opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect

Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.

Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.

Tools to help your project with unreferenced Biographies of living people

List of cleanup articles for your project

If you don't already have Cleanup listings, Cleanup listings is a bot which collects all tagged unreferenced biographies of living people, plus other lists onto one page in your project.

RfC - prefixes in article title of Eastern Orthodox officials

An RfC is currently open (Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(clergy)#naming_convention_associated_with_Eastern_Orthodox_officials) regarding the appropriateness of having position titles in the article title of religious Eastern Orthodox officials. Commentary would be welcomed, as the WP:NCWC talk page has a low level of activity.--Labattblueboy (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Ammended: The proposal currently tables is to remove of all prefix religious titles, positions and/or honours from the article title.--Labattblueboy (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Relevant AFD discussion page - The Most Hated Family in America

There is an AFD for The Most Hated Family in America, which is a television documentary film that was written and presented by the BBC's Louis Theroux about the family at the core of the Westboro Baptist Church (info from lede of article).

Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 18:18, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Jerusalem

There is currently a discussion taking place at Talk:Jerusalem over how the article should word certain issues. Some editors want the word "proclaimed" to be added to the first sentence of the article to describe it as the "proclaimed capital" of Israel as the international community does not recognise it as the capital of Israel, others disagree and think the status quo which has existed for about 3 years should remain (something that has been debated many times over the years but retained), and several compromises have also been suggested. The issue has now also spread to other matters, with some editors wanting it to say "proclaimed flag", "proclaimed mayor" , "proclaimed coat of arms" etc, to also highlight the fact the international community does not recognise the status of Jerusalem. This matter could have implications for other articles if changes are made and a similar pattern followed. So input from other editors would be helpful.

AfD

Criticism of Muhammad

There are persistent problems at Criticism of Muhammad, an article that is quite different in style from Criticism of Jesus and other "Criticism of" articles. More eyes needed. Hans Adler 10:12, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed MOS for religion

There is now a proposed general Manual of Style for Religion and other articles relating to ethoses or belief systems at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Religion/Manual of style. Any input would be welcome. I personally believe at least one of the reasons why many articles in this field have been as contentious as they have been is because of lack of such guidelines, and would very much welcome any input from others to help come up with some generally acceptable solutions to some of these problems.

Dead link: Category:Interfaith topics

Category:Interfaith topics is mentioned in the Scope section of the project page. It's a non-existant category. It needs some filling, removal of referances, or relocation of mentions to a todo list?

Discussion at RSN about Robert Almeder

There is a discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard about whether an article on reincarnation by Robert Almeder, professor emeritus of philosophy at Georgia State University, is a reliable source for the article on Ian Stevenson (1918–2007). Several editors have objected to it because Almeder published it in Journal of Scientific Exploration, a journal that deals with anomalies (fringe issues). Uninvolved input would be very helpful. See Misplaced Pages:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Robert_Almeder. Many thanks, SlimVirgin 19:19, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
