Revision as of 19:28, 13 April 2007

The goal of WikiProject Christianity is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Christianity available on Wikipedia. As a group, we do not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but seek to it that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented. The project shall try to present data in articles fairly and accurately, respecting the beliefs of existing denominations. However, there are a huge number and variety of denominations which can be classified as Christian. On that basis, an editor might put something in an article which contradicts a given denomination's beliefs, probably due to ignorance of that specific denomination and/or its belief systems. Should that be the case, please post a message to that effect on either the article talk page or the project talk page.


Tasks

These are some things you can do to improve the quality of Wikipedia coverage of Christianity.

Destubbification Campaign

  1. Cappadocian Fathers
  2. Catholic Worker
  3. Conversion to Christianity

More stubs you can work on

Adopted Topic

Articles needing cleanup

Also, when you are reading any articles and you notice text that could be linking to any other Christian Wikipedia article, take time to put in the link. Linking articles together is helpful to readers and editors.

Departments

  • Assessment - the (you guessed it!) assessment unit.

To Do

  1. Attract attention from editors interested in Christianity and Christianity-related topics.
  2. Discuss the feasibility and desirability of activating this project, and strategy.
  3. Add all articles to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Articles list
  4. Look over the recent changes list for recent improvements to articles, other changes, and vandalism.
  5. Help select the articles of top importance to this project on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Top-importance page.
  6. If the project is a "go", create collaborative projects to systematically improve coverage.
    • Possibly including:
    1. A regular collaboration.
    2. A destubbification campaign, which would consist of categorized lists of stubs nominated for expansion by project members. New nominees would be placed at the bottom and rise as stubs above are removed. Each category's top stub would be removed once a week, or re-added to the bottom if it's not destubbed yet, making sure the focus stubs are rotated. The categories would be something like:
      1. Bible stubs
      2. Theology stubs
      3. Ecclesiastical stubs, for denominations, traditions, churches, and parachurch organizations
      4. People stubs, for individuals
      5. Culture stubs, for culture, music, art, architecture, and so on
    3. Adopted Topic, where a suite of topically related articles are targeted for improvement until there's a consensus to move on to a new topic.
    4. Article Review, for articles nominated by members for wider review. In this case the new ones go at the top and sink as new ones are added.
    5. Work on expanding or adding templates, such as a template for Christian theology.
    6. Devise standards to apply across Christianity articles.
    7. Bring a more neutral voice to articles which categorize a movement as non-Christian or a cult.

  67. Linux|erist I am willing to join in. I am a follower of Christ, though I cannot decide myself about whether or not to use the term "Christianity" as it covers such a broad range of "religions." For instance, I personally do not agree with Mormonism, though it is part of Christianity. Nonetheless, I join to help improve the included articles on Wikipedia.
