Saint of the day

A proposal has been made on the talk page of the Portal:Saints for a possible daily update to at least some of the content of the portal. I think that this is a fine idea, but also think that I would want input from others as to which content to feature on which date. I have therefore set up a page for such discussion at Portal:Saints/Saint of the day for interested parties to nominate content related to individual saints they would like to see featured on the portal, and one which particular day, if one is preferred. I am here thinking particularly about possibly including individuals on the days of their feasts, if they have one. Any member of this project is more than welcome to make any nominations they see fit. Please feel free to make any specific suggestions there. John Carter 20:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

New project proposal

There is a new WikiProject task force proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Inter-religious content that is being proposed to deal specifically with articles whose content relates to several religious traditions. Any editors interested in joining such a group would be more than welcome to indicate their interest there. John Carter 15:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Sign of the Cross

The article Sign of the cross (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) underwent a complete rewrite over the last few weeks that left it quite heavily biased. I have tried to merge older material back into it, but it now needs to be put back together. If anyone on this project has the time, could they, please, take a look at the article and improve it. — Gareth Hughes 15:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Naming of Patriarch pages

I note that there is no uniformity in the titles of the pages dealing with the various people who have held the post of Patriarch of Alexandria. I would personally favor use of the word Patriarch over the word Pope, as it seems to me to be the least confusing and most easily understood by the widest possible audience. Opinions? John Carter 18:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

What "stories" of the Bible merit separate articles?

There has recently been some discussion regarding which "stories" or portions of the Bible merit having their own articles. For the purposes of centralized discussion, please make any comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bible#What should have separate articles?. Thank you. John Carter 13:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

POV question on Athanasius of Alexandria

I have some serious concerns regarding the neutrality of the article above. Please see my comments justifying that statement at Talk:Athanasius of Alexandria#POV, and contribute any comments you think appropriate. Thank you. John Carter 19:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Request for Comment

There is currently a discussion at Talk:Saint Maurice#Request for Comment:Image in Infobox about which image of the subject should be used in the infobox. Any comments are welcome. John Carter 22:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:Oriental Orthodoxy

I've been working on a template based on Template:Orthodoxy for the Oriental Orthodox Churches (the link for it hasn't been made yet). This is what it would supposedly look like:

*

...thoughts, opinions??? Is it good the way it is (in order of precedence/honor), or are there any mistakes at all? I will be looking for an answer, so if I get a positive response (I'm thinking I will), I will go ahead with creating this template and putting it in the respective links (the articles for all of the Oriental Orthodox —miaphysite— communion). Make sure to tell me what you think.

Yours faithfully,

• ~ Troy 01:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it is very good the way it stands , very good idea--Ghaly 18:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd try to make the "Antioch" section of the "Autonomous churches" section a line of itself, but otherwise I see no problems. John Carter 19:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

By that you mean this?

*

...I'm not so sure. ~ Troy 19:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

That was what I was thinking, yes. Good work! John Carter 19:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, then. I'm going ahead with creating it and putting it in the respective links. Thanks for the tip. ~ Troy 19:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks good. Thanks for allowing me to participate. (Mike Morgan 23:03, 30 August 2007 (UTC))

No problem, Mike Morgan. As Wikipedia is based on consensus', it's my duty to bring anything major or new to the attention of others. ~ Troy 18:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

nofri Troy! Sorry I've been away for a while. I like the template a lot, but I suggest you arrange the names of the churches alphabetically to avoid getting into sensitive issues. Great work! --Lanternix 23:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Lanternix. I'm just letting everyone here know that I have re-arranged it to alphabetical order. You can always see the current version here. Later, ~ Troy 16:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

At the moment the template adds all articles using it to Category:Oriental Orthodoxy, which is not needed - all are already in the category, mostly via the churches sub-cat etc. Can this be changed? Johnbod 20:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it can. I think it works now. John Carter 20:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Great, it does - and super-quick! Thanks. Johnbod 20:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Kind of Late for me to comment but nice template. Good work --Lijujacobk (talk) 09:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Za'afiel

Hi, the article Za'afiel is currently tagged as non-notable. As an angel mentioned in 3 Enoch I would think there should be an article about "it" (should that be it, him, her or what?). I'm here because I'm looking at articles tagged non-notable, not because I know anything about Angels. TIA, Garrie 03:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

POV pushing on canonical texts

I urgently need help with another editor, User:Leadwind, who has been pushing a Roman Catholic POV, particularly with regard to what texts are to be considered canonical. I have pointed out many times that Wikipedia cannot assume the role of the Council of Nicea and simply declare a certain text to be uncanonical or "pseudepigrapha" (false writing) that is accepted by another church as canonical. But he remains impervious to the NPOV policy requiring him to attribute disputed POVs, and insists on writing that the Book of Jubilees (canonical in the EOTC) simply "is Pseudepigrapha written from a Pharisee perspective" - instead of telling the truth and writing that it is only considered so by non-Oriental Churches. The most bizarre thing is, he has chosen as his platform to edit war this point, the article Tower of Babel, which merely contains a quote from Jubilees - making a discussion about its canonicity rather off-topic anyway. I have pointed out that this is equivalent to writing a note in the section that quotes the Book of Mormon, that it is "a forgery written by Joseph Smith" - no matter who might consider it so, it would not be neutral to take sides, and hardly germane to the article anyway. Please come to Talk:Tower of Babel and help me restore NPOV. Thanks, Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 22:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Possible Oriental Orthodox saint collaboration

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Oriental Orthodoxy articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Oriental Orthodoxy articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 23:26, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Christianity portals

I am currently trying to get together some lists of articles relevant to each Christianity-related portal which could be used, at least potentially, to help bring all the extant portals up to Featured Portal status. The current, admittedly incomplete, list of articles, images, etc., relevant to each portal can be found at User:John Carter/Christianity portals. I also think that, at least in theory, we would probably best use a single article only in a single portal, and that we probably have enough articles to do that, although there might be a few exceptions. I would welcome input from anyone on the associated talk page regarding which articles and other materials they would like to see associated with which portal(s), any suggestions for additional portals or changes to existing portals, etc. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 15:39, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Request for input in discussion forum

Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content. I have put together the beginnings of an outline for such discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/2011 meeting, and would very much appreciate the input of any interested editors. I am thinking that it might run over two months, the first of which would be to bring forward and discuss the current state of the content, and the second for perhaps some more focused discussion on what, if any, specific efforts might be taken in the near future. Any and all input is more than welcome. John Carter (talk)

Portal check needed

Could a specialist take a look at the November 2010 and April 2011 edits to Portal:Oriental Orthodoxy/Intro? I saw this in my Recent Change Patrol and don't know what to make of it. -- John of Reading (talk) 11:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

CopticWiki

Hello, please consider helping update and maintain http://copticwiki.org which is a MediaWiki site which i specific for the Coptic Orthodox (Oriental Orthodox) views and interests published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.212.126 (talk) 10:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Christian devotional literature

Christian devotional literature appeared and is a noteworthy topic. But the article is pretty narrow, as I said on the talk there, and the various denominations who read this should really add their respective components to make it balanced. History2007 (talk) 02:40, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed redirection of Christianity subproject talk pages

I have recently started discussion about possibly eliminating the use of a separate talk page for it here. Input from any interested editors is very welcome and encouraged. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 22:19, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Attack on Book of Enoch

The well known administrator named DBachmann has once again gone on the attack against Ethiopian scholarship on the Book of Enoch, part of the Tewahedo holy canon, and has removed all trace of what Ethiopian scholarship says from the article, leaving only the POV that he supports. Dealing with this guy in the past has always been very difficult, because he imagines he is very powerful on wikipedia. What can be done about such bullying tactics? Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 13:15, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso Church for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso Church is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso Church until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:49, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

New template

I have created a new template, Template:Episcopal lineage. It is used to display the lineage leading up to a bishop (including archbishops, cardinals, popes, patriarchs, etc.). It is configured to be used for Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and other Christian denominations that maintain a historical episcopate. An example of its use can be found on the template page or in the Pope Francis article. Ergo Sum 04:28, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Merge templates proposal

With the new Template:Episcopal lineage created, I propose merging Template:Ordination with the other. I think the aesthetics of episcopal lineage are preferable and recommend creating a new collapsible section within that template to include the information contained within ordination. Thoughts?

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:50, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

I have proposed the deletion of Ethiopian Orthodox Coptic Church of North and South America. The article is not about (nor should it be confused with) the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in North and South America. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:03, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

CTV (Egyptian TV channel)

Can someone with more subject knowledge figure out what's going on with the satellite frequencies of this Coptic TV channel? It appears some of them were taken by something called "Al Fadi", but I don't know what that is and can't find a matching enwiki article. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 09:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
