NDCRHS "History" proposal

What would you think of my initiating an Rfc on Talk:Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School#History? I'm willing to go some other route but the last Rfc (on categorizing as "poverty-related") produced the hoped for results. I'm grateful for the time you've spent in reasoning with the others and am ready to support any alternative your think preferable to move this forward. This is the most important section of the article and if we can get it restored I see less of a problem with the "activities" and the "pre- and post-nominals" issues, since they are so much in line with hundreds of other school articles. Thanks again for all your contributions! Jzsj (talk) 22:44, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

What to do?

I cannot find the request for reopening the talk about pre- and post-nominals that had been on the Administrator's page, and John from Idegon won't let me add these in an infobox. Do you have a plan on how I might proceed to get this issue resolved, since hundreds of infoboxes have these means of identifying who the person is? Would an edit war on post-nominals and some type of request to resolve it be the best approach?

Also, how long should we expect before the NDCRHS article will be examined? Jzsj (talk) 11:38, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks - wish to help?

Thank for the suggestion about the article becoming a nomination for DYK. I'm quite new and don't even get things like subpages yet so not planning to nominate the article myself - if I did I think I would say "Did you know that Both Lives Matter won a Public Affairs Campaign of the Year Award for its 2017 pro-life billboard campaign?" I would be happy, however, if you wished to nominate the article on my behalf. Cheers Birtig (talk) 18:41, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ken McKay

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ken McKay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

In God We Trust

Hey- I made some more changes and additions to In God We Trust. If you have time, please let me know what you think. I have a feeling that we'll be doing a lot of editing of this page this year- there seems to be a legislative trend calling for states to prominently display In God We Trust in classrooms. It's an interesting topic that hasn't gotten enough attention- I hope we can improve the overall quality of the article too. Thanks! Geographyinitiative (talk) 21:15, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

For your information

The 7 days deadline for the articles to appear at the DYK box, is really 7 days and it's a matter of days, not hours! This was the first time ever in my Wiki life to see that a reviewer is counting the hours. However, you may also see supplementary guidelines#D9 where it says: "The "seven days old" limit should be strictly enforced only if there is a large backlog of hooks. Otherwise nominated article may still be approved if it were created or expanded after the oldest date listed in Template talk:Did you know#Older nominations."

Project News
By Lionelt

Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter Ichthus! Getting this issue out was touch-and-go for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:

• There was a lively discussion about the Easter Did You Know nomination Christ the Lord is Risen Today
• RFC at Knights of Columbus regarding a question about having Prop 8 in the lead
• In anticipation of being nominated for Featured article, Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was put up for Peer Review by Ltwin
• The death of Billy Graham on February 21 was a profound loss for many. For the Misplaced Pages reaction see this discussion. Graham received a blurb.
• And... Order of Friars Minor--nominated by Chicbyaccident--is still waiting for a GA reviewer. Please help out if you can.

Achievements

In March the Project saw four articles promoted to GA-Class. They were the oh-so-irresistible Delilah (nom. MagicatthemovieS) (pictured), Edict of Torda (nom. Borsoka), David Meade (author) (nom. LovelyGirl7) and last but not least Black Christmas (2006 film) (nom. Drown_Soda). Black Christmas? How did that get in there lol? Congratulations to all of the nominators for a job well done!

Did You Know
Nominated by The C of E

... that some people know Christ the Lord is risen today from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?"

Featured article
Nominated by FutureTrillionaire

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)
