I created this page because there was no page titled "Koinonia" but there was one titled "Koininia", which looks to me like a typographical error. So, I copied all the text across from the "Koininia" page, including the "Merge" flag. Someone with ADMIN powers, please delete the "Koininia" page. I have no objection to the suggested MERGE.

Talking of typos, I am not sure whether or not there is another in the quote “Sharing Expands, Hording Contracts.” Should it say "hoarding", or is this just a transatlantic spelling discrepancy? Jezza 11:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright note

There is a section here taken from here. This article is marked as copyright Robert Porter Lynch, but ass this section was added by someone with the user name Robert Porter Lynch, I'm not going to mark this as a copyright vio. -Ladybirdintheuk 14:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You were quite right, this is a likely WP:COPYVIO; too bad no one noticed or responded since. I don't believe it matters that a WP user with a similar name placed the the copied material here, and furthermore, the article cited has two copyright holders, one of which is not the similarly-named user. For now, I've tagged the article {{copypaste}} which should trigger the proper reaction by copyright gnomes.

This is a word doc file, and in case the link goes dead, an archived link is here. Just ran the wmflabs copyvios tool and it ended early with 96% confidence, identifying this website as the source.

A temp stub page is currently at Talk:Koinonia/Temp in case the main article is deleted. Please readd to Q1065828 if that doesn't happen automatically. Mathglot (talk) 09:10, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for a detailed and careful report, Mathglot – that certainly makes it easier to get to the bottom of this. I agree that the text added by Robert Porter Lynch has to be considered copyvio until and unless suitable permission is received and logged by OTRS. I've removed that content. I don't see any other copyvio concern – the SlideShare page found by the Earwig tool is clearly an assemblage of content copied from various pages here (compare the section on Communion (Christian) with our article on that topic, for example), so I don't think we need to worry about that.

Thanks for your your help with this. Mathglot (talk) 20:37, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Original Research

The entire original article, since it was lacking references, had the appearance of original research. I just added a section with several verifiable references, but the larger original section is still lacking any citations. What I've already done is a major edit. Would it be ok to edit the previous section itself in order to bring it into better compliance with the verifiable reference requirement? If someone with a little more Wikipedia experience could offer me some guidance, that would be appreciated. --LovedByYesu 19:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additon and format

Added link to Koinonia Foundation and moved the links to the Koinonia band and Koinonia Partners to "external links" section. 141.156.34.239 15:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question concerning the number of times it's used in the NT. The Koinokia page quotes it as 19 times in most Greek NTs, while the Communion (Christian) quotes it as 43 verses. Is that perhaps because it's used multiple times in a verse? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.33.133.183 (talk) 19:46, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The pronunciation given is incorrect, or at least only one variant. It should also probably be given using the international phonetic alphabet. Similarly, this article's style could be improved. It needs to be more scholarly and more coherent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.42.34.201 (talk) 07:47, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
