== List of artefacts ==

Thanks for writing so courteously to me, it shows a breadth of mind which I hope I can be worthy of.

I had a quick look at the article. It seems a bit of a grab-bag - a little bit of everything - and potentially infinite in the objects it could mention. There are a few sources around the web that might be useful and I'll try to gather them together for you.

One thing I noticed is the exclusive focus on the Old Testament - surely there are some artefacts from the time of Jesus? Or maybe not.

All the best :) [[User:PiCo|PiCo]] ([[User talk:PiCo|talk]]) 08:57, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

:I've gone over about the first half-dozen entries and corrected what I believe are some errors and had a tinker with the English. Is this what you asked for? [[User:PiCo|PiCo]] ([[User talk:PiCo|talk]]) 05:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

; Project news
* The Christianity project and its related projects currently have 75 FAs, 8 FLs, and 147 GAs<!--, which includes 4 more FAs-->, with a net loss of one FA and one GA. Our thanks to those who helped keep some other articles listed, and to those who have worked so diligently in improving all of our articles.

; Member news
*Three new members joined this past month, including new members [[User:116Calvinist]], [[User:Lrnngrbc]], and [[User:Frazz]], bringing us up to 295 listed members. Thanks to you all, and a special welcome to our new members!
*
; Other news
* Two new pages for the benefit of members of the project have been created. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Mutual aid society]] is designed to be a place where editors seeking specific assistance from other members can with luck find others who have the abilities or materials they need, and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Special collections]] is, at this point, the beginnings of a list of publicly accessible special collections libraries which our members might find useful. Anyone who lives near one of the collections listed is encouraged to visit them and see if they can find anything they would like to read or use to improve some of our articles. There are always some discussions regarding project related activities at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/General Forum]]. I think the timing of the call for elections might have been bad (summer vacation, what was I thinking?), and have thus changed the period for individuals to run to be one of the project's coordinators. Individuals who have a particular interest or knowledge of specific fields within Christianity are encouraged to run, to serve as a kind of "unit coordinator" for that topic.

; From the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Members|Members]]
Welcome to the Eleventh issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

One area in particular need of attention right now is the content related to the [[Oriental Orthodox]] churches. Several of the topics within this field are of great importance, including the churches themselves, their histories, thinking, and some of the individuals associated with it. Unfortunately, the number of people who belong to the churches, and, correspondingly, the number of editors working on that content, is smaller than it could be. Anyone interested in helping to develop this content is more than welcome to look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oriental Orthodoxy]] page and seeing where they can help out.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Birmingham Astronomical Society|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

== David ==

Hello,

the previous image on "David" is not how David is usually portrayed. Furthermore, the "middle eastern" look is a stereotype and is not necessarily accurate. [[User:MovieOutcast|MovieOutcast]] ([[User talk:MovieOutcast|talk]]) 16:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

== [[Franciscan Missionaries of Divine Compassion]] article ==

Hi, Sweetmoose6. The FMDC certainly looks like a praiseworthy project, but I don't think it is [[WP:Notability|notable]] enough yet to belong in WP. The article looks like, essentially, a [[WP:SPAM|promotional page]], and all the references are to promotional sites. Normally, in order to establish that a site is notable, you need published ''independent'' references. At this point, I think the article could not stand up against a proposal for deletion on grounds of notability. I will post this to the article's talk page too. -- [[User:Chonak|Chonak]] ([[User talk:Chonak|talk]]) 02:37, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

"There are, however, numerous descendants of Napoleon's illegitimate, but recognized son Walewski from his union with Marie, Countess Walewski. Of these include the Wattier family and its union with the Bonaparte family. The later descendants were the Peschongs and Herrs."

I ask, because I am a member of this mentioned family. Although there have been rumors passed down through the generations of a possible connection to Napoleon, it has not been proven. Therefor without proof, without a source, this paragraph should not be included in the Current descendants section. I would like to know what your source is. Thank you.

===From the Editor===
[[File:Vienna Karlskirche frescos4b.jpg|100 px|right]]
This month marks the observation of [[Pentecost]], one of the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year. It is our hope here that all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation (if any), find that the holiday, and its accompanying activities, an enjoyable and beneficial experience. We also hope that this "Birthday of the Church" is one which gives you the same joy as the birthday of yourself or your loved ones.

''Ichthus'' is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’s [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach|Outreach]] department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media!
With that, I wish you all happy reading!

===Help Bring [[Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan|Wikipe-tan]] "into the fold"===
[[File:Wikipe-tan full length.svg|left|60px]]
As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, ''some people'' might object to our beloved mascot running around in a [[Uniform fetishism#French maid uniform|French maid]] outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach/April 2002/Wikipe-tan|here]].

===Christianity in other wikis===
[[File:Wikimedia Foundation RGB logo with text.svg|left|40px]] As many of you might now, there are a large number of other Wikimedia Foundation projects, including WikiSource, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, WikiQuote, and others. I certainly believe that Wikibooks and Wikiquote might be among the more directly relevant sister projects. If any of you can think of any particular efforts in these other projects which you think would benefit from more input, please let us know here, so we can help spread the word around.

===Spotlight on the Outreach department===
[[File:Handshake (Workshop Cologne '06).jpeg|left|40px]]
''Ichthus'' will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach|Outreach department]]. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter.

The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity.

Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.

A new WikiProject relating directly to Christian history is being developed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian history]].

Anyone interested in assisting with the development of these groups and topics is more than welcome to do so.

===I believe===
... in the statements contained in the [[Nicene Creed]]. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the [[Sacred tradition]], which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the [[Magisterium]] has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that [[clerical celibacy]] is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the [[Catholic Church]].

'''Contest of the month'''<br>
We currently have a remarkable lack of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Books]]. Right now, [[:Category:Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the [[WT:X|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. As biographies are often a bit easier, this month we are choosing two biographies: [[Karl Behm]], which has yet to be started, and the currently Stub-class article [[Nerses IV the Gracious]]. A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to [[WP:DYK|DYK quality level]] and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.


'''Calendar'''<br>

'''Wikimedia Foundation report'''<br>
[[File:WikiNews-Logo-en.svg|left|40px]]
[[Wikinews]] is our sister site for developing news stories. Several events relating to Christianity, like the installation of bishops for instance, do not necessarily merit extensive coverage in wikipedia encyclopedic articles, but can and easily could be covered at greater length in a news article format. Given the number of significant news events that relate to religion, including claims of miracles, assignment of bishops and other religious leaders, church conferences, and other events, this site provides an excellent opportunity to provide in-depth coverage of current events at greater length than wikipedia.

One of our newer editors, [[User:David_FLXD]], has recently gone through much of our content related to Methodism and assessed it. We are very grateful for his efforts, and that of all the editors who have had a role in developing that content. We have every reason to believe that this will make it significantly easier for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Methodism work group|Methodism work group]] to create and develop content relevant to Methodism. To help that along, we certainly encourage everyone to do what they can to help David and the other Methodism editors to bring the content relevant to their tradition to the highest possible level of quality.


'''I believe'''<br>
