Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion/Assessment

religioustolerance dot org

I came across over 700 links to this organization, Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance. The site has a ton of ads but on the other hand, it has content (and a Wikipedia article).

Normally, such an ad-intensive site with so many links gets attention at WikiProject Spam for further investigation. Even if it's not spam, many links may often get deleted as not meeting the external links guideline. I've left a note at WikiProject Spam asking others to look at some of these and see what they think.

Even some non-profit organizations will add dozens of links to Wikipedia since links in Wikipedia are heavily weighted in Google's page ranking systems. (If interested, see the article on Spamdexing for more on this).

You can see all the links by going to this this "Search web links" page. I encourage you to look at Wikipedia's external links guideline then look at the links in the articles you normally watch. Also, if you don't mind, please also weigh in at WikiProject Spam with your opinions. If you see links to pages that you don't think add additional value beyond the content already in an article, feel free to delete them, but please don't go mindlessly deleting dozens of links. (Per WP:EL, links that don't add additional value should be deleted but that doesn't necessarily mean they're "spam").

I found this article to be terribly biased and negative. In effect, you are saying that the prophecies of Native Americans, Maoris, and other native peoples are fantasy, even though there is a distinct correlation between prophecy and real world occurence. The intuition and spirituality of what probably amount to millions of people worldwide are here negated, and that is a terrible shame. There is much in the world, in this universe, that can't be explained, and many who call themselves empiricists are as subjective in how they choose their data as any Bible espouser could ever be.

Thanks for your help and for providing some second opinions. --A. B. 17:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Assesment of Buddhism

Buddhism is considered a B-class Top-importance article in 2 other wikiprojects. It can use the exact same categorization in this wikiproject.--Esteban Barahona (talk) 03:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ebionites

This article is reassessed every day. There is a change from Mid-Class to Top-Class, the next day from Top-Class to Mid-Class, the next day back again. This goes on for many weeks. Something must be wrong in the template or elsewhere.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 09:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment for A class

Please excuse my posting here, but I found it difficult to find by way around the main page. I have an article which I expect to shortly be passed as GA. I hope to work it towards FAC. An A class review seems a good stepping stone. Would it be possible to submit it for that here? If so, how? Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:55, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have not seen any A assessments for a while, I think the procedure has been removed from most Wikiprojects. Don't know why though.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:17, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suspected that may be the case. It is alive and well in MilHist. (I have an article going through.) But seems to have withered on the vine elsewhere. A pity. Gog the Mild (talk) 00:05, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
