'''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. Last month's challenge articles were [[Karl Beth]] and [[Nerses IV the Gracious]]. Both articles are currently candidates for the DYK section of the [[Wikipedia:Main page|main page]]. This month's challenge articles are the Stub-class article [[James Hastings]] and the not yet started [[Rudolf Sohm]], 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> |
|||
Thie coming month (mid-September through mid-October) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of the [[Martyrs of Korea]], [[Saint Matthew]], [[Vincent de Paul]], [[Michaelmas]], [[Saint Jerome]], [[Theresa of Lisieux]], the [[Feast of the Guardian Angels]], [[Francis of Assisi]], [[Our Lady of the Rosary]], and [[Teresa of Avila]]. |

[[Grade I listed churches in Greater Manchester]] was promoted to Featured List, and [[Jackie Hudson]], [[Joyce Kilmer]], [[Divine command theory]], [[Bosa of York]] and [[Argument from morality]] were promoted to GA level. DYKs featured this past month include [[Church of Saint Benoit, Istanbul]], [[All Saints Church, Hollingbourne]], [[Neustädter Kirche, Hannover]], [[St Mary's Church, Kirkby Lonsdale]], [[Albert Ndongmo]], [[If We Are the Body]], [[List of places of worship in Tonbridge and Malling]], [[Kulubnarti church]], [[All Saints Church, Ulcombe]], [[Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey]], [[Igny Abbey]], [[Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, Brăila]], [[Places of Worship Registration Act 1855]], [[Collegiate Church of San Gimignano]], and [[St Matthew's Church, Burnley]].

'''Wikimedia Foundation report'''<br> |

[[File:Wikipedia-logo-simple.png|left|40px]] |

As some of you may have seen, the [[Simple English Wikipedia]] has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the [[Bible]] are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the [[WT:X|Christianity noticeboard]]. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks. |

'''Spotlight'''<br> |
|||
[[File:John Calvin - best likeness.jpg|left|40px]] |
|||
[[WP:Calvin|WikiProject Calvinism]] is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the [[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]], [[Presbyterians]], [[Reformed churches]], [[Congregational church]], [[Reformed Baptists]], and [[Low church]]. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition. |
|||
'''I believe'''<br> |
|||
... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a [[Calvinist]]. |

==Disambiguation link notification for October 7== |
|||
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Gezer]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Jim Parker]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Gezer|check to confirm]] | [[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Gezer|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small> |
