Friends, I noticed that much material here was deleted because it substantially copied my article, "Wyneken as Missionary." I give my permission to copy from my article as much as is needed to tell his story, or from my other works for that matter. It has been a long time since I have edited here, so I cannot figure out how to restore it. Would someone do so or, even better, expand the article based on it? It is really busy here as we approach the end of an academic year. Thanks! --CTSWyneken(talk)

Template discussion

Please see Template talk:Christianity#"Eastern Catholic" is not a denomination for a discussion. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 03:59, 19 October 2012 (UTC

Comments are requested

Comments on Gospel of the Hebrews merge are requested. History2007 (talk) 00:19, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Time to wrap this up. Please weigh in at Talk:Hebrew Gospel hypothesis#AfD or stub. Ignocrates (talk) 17:56, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Hebrew Gospel (Aramaic) article has been tagged with a Proposal for Deletion as an uncontroversial deletion. Ignocrates (talk) 18:37, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The PROD tag was removed. Therefore, the proposal for deletion failed. You may want to participate in a discussion of what to do as an alternative. Ignocrates (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move: Genesis creation narrative

For your information, there is a new proposal to move Genesis creation narrative to Genesis creation myth. See Talk:Genesis creation narrative#New proposal. StAnselm (talk) 09:51, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, with Benedict's resignation, I have started the article on the next conclave. Canuck89 (chat with me) 11:52, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Bartholomew - COMMONNAME?

Hi. There are a few page moves being proposed relating to Jesus' disciples, eg at Talk:Saint Peter. One I can't get my head round is at Talk:Bartholomew_the_Apostle#Requested_move_2. What is the WP:COMMONNAME for this individual? Bartholomew the Apostle? Saint Bartholomew? Bartholomew (disciple of Jesus)? Something else? Thanks. --Dweller (talk) 16:13, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Oxford Companion to the Bible and the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels just have "Bartholomew." --JFH (talk) 17:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Papal conclave articles

The Category:Papal conclaves articles which have infoboxes (20th & 21st century conclaves and 1800,1513,1492,1294) all directly code their infoboxes instead of transcluding them. this causes variances in display, and should have an infobox instead of direct coding. Can someone clean this up? -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 21:25, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New infobox created -- {{Infobox papal conclave}} -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 02:20, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New AfD

Newsletter might be delayed till the 1st

Not sure if anyone will necessarily miss it, but things have been a little weird this past week, and honestly, it seems to me that having the newsletter come out in the beginning of the month probably makes more sense anyway. With any luck, by the end of next week I should have gone through the Eerdmans/Brill Encyclopedia of Christianity, which might help a lot in the content related to its articles. But, wanted everyone to know. If someone else wants to maybe draw up a draft copy, though, by all means feel free to do so. John Carter (talk) 03:23, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The usage of "Madonna" is up for discussion, see talk:Madonna (entertainer) -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 05:16, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Third opinion needed on sources for denominational membership in National Baptist Convention

Contention has developed at National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. regarding the denomination's membership numbers. Another editor has repeatedly removed information sourced to the National Council of Churches' Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches. That other editor says the yearbook information didn't come from the denomination. I think we need a third opinion (and maybe more than three), and other editors who have dealt with similar topics may be well-qualified to comment. Please visit Talk:National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.. --Orlady (talk) 02:53, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion of Peter and Paul in "Gospel of Mark" article?

Could someone "familiar with the topic of the discussion" please look at Gospel of Mark and the comments I have just left on the talk page? I think there is confusion in the article between Peter and Paul at a couple of places at least, and the last paragraph of the lede is very confusing and almost nonsensical. Thanks.

Beatitudes

Hi, you guys probably know more about the issues on how this project may relate to this discussion than I do, so comments will be appreciated. I may stop watching that page after a while anyway, if you guys want to watch it. Thanks. IcarusVsSun (talk) 16:12, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move at Talk:Render unto Caesar...

Greetings! I have recently relisted a requested move discussion at Talk:Render_unto_Caesar...#Requested_move, regarding a page relating to this WikiProject. Discussion and opinions are invited. Thanks, Tyrol5 [Talk] 01:52, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday is in danger of being excluded from the Main Page on March 24 because of the {{refimprove}} tag on it. Please add sufficient references to it, especially the Biblical basis and symbolism section before then. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 06:45, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I note there is no discussion associated with the tag, and that five references have been added to the section since the tag was introduced. StAnselm (talk) 07:09, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. I actually meant the Observance in the liturgy section. howcheng {chat} 19:08, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding the creation of "wiki articals"

Out of curiosity, Is a user on wikipedia allowed to create an article which discusses a particular group or organisation? I was going to start an artical which discusses the Antioch Bible Society, its effects and influences on the internet, ministries, and beliefs. Is this allowed? The "wiki rules" were somewhat unclear in this regard. Thank You!
