Спасибо за помощь в написании армяно-американских статей, я очень признателен.

Привет, клариософский. Спасибо за ваш вклад в биографию Джозефа Генри Кибби . С уважением, Masterpiece2000 ( обсуждение ) 12:55, 30 декабря 2007 г. (UTC)

Спасибо за комментарий! Надеюсь, у меня не сложилось впечатление, что я бросаю проект англиканства: я буду следить за ним. Но я действительно собираюсь придерживаться узкого пути, чтобы избежать некоторых странностей, которые здесь происходят. На самом деле я считаю Википедию забавным хобби. Я полагаю, что Secisek  ( обсуждение  · вклад ) действительно ушел на пенсию навсегда. Я знаю, что он активен в политике в реальной жизни, поэтому, вероятно, не хочет играть в бессмысленную политику в свободное время. Ваше здоровье!

Я спрашиваю, должен ли WP: IE иметь барнстар для участников и обычных пользователей, которые вносят в него большой вклад. У меня есть дизайн для barnstar, если он создан на моем компьютере, поэтому все, что я спрашиваю, - должен ли я создать эту barnstar ? С уважением - Markreidyhp 12:35, 27 марта 2008 г. (UTC)

Сожалею, что слышал о твоей кошечке. У меня есть ситцевая, которую очень любят. С наилучшими пожеланиями, - Secisek ( разговор ) 22:44, 10 апреля 2008 г. (UTC)

Где h произносится, например, урожай - используйте A, Где h молчит, например, честь - используйте AN, Где h произносится, но первый слог
безударен, например, исторический - используйте A Wikipeebee ( разговор ) 07:29, 5 августа 2008 (UTC)

Не так в Соединенных Штатах в Энциклопедический словарь Merriam-Webster, десятое издание , стр.1: «Перед безударных или слабо ударных слогов с начальными ч и и используются в письменной форме, исторический исторический , но в речи больше часто, независимо от того, произносится ли h или нет ". См. Также См. A и # Различие между a и an . Кроме того, в статьях на американскую тематику следует использовать американский английский, а не британский или канадский клариософский ( разговор ) 14:13, 5 августа 2008 г. (UTC)

Я исправляюсь; каждому свое. Должен признаться, я говорю исторический, и уж точно не стал бы менять ни одной страницы. С уважением,

Привет, Кларио, я только что продолжал очищать страницы-мазки, в том числе Первую объединенную методистскую церковь . В нем есть информативное вступление, которое следует удалить в соответствии с рекомендациями MOSDAB и / или практиками редакторов enforcer dab. Я не буду удалять его, но, скорее всего, это сделает кто-то другой. Я думаю, что вступление, которое интересно, следует переработать, чтобы создать статью для Первой объединенной методистской церкви (Даллас, Техас) . Интересно, хотите ли вы это сделать. Если вы это сделаете, пожалуйста, добавьте запись для Далласа в список мазков и, пожалуйста, замените вступление мазка просто: « Первая Объединенная методистская церковь может относиться к:». Надеюсь, ты в порядке. Ура, Донкрам ( разговор ) 08:14, 16 января 2009 г. (UTC)

Привет снова, рад, что ты отдыхал. :) Вы могли бы принять к сведению пользовательский разговор: Tassedethe # Переименование церквей и другие статьи, в которых я недавно упоминал вас .... Я не думаю, что Tassedethe обязательно входит в поле исправления dab в более общем плане, но на самом деле мне там одиноко. . :) Как уже говорилось, я разработал определенные принципы с редакторами dab, но затем страницы dab, над которыми я работал, имеют другие недостатки, например, неполные в местах, не относящихся к NRHP, где уже есть статьи в Википедии. Мой рабочий список находится в Категории: NRHP dab, нуждающийся в очистке . Не стесняйтесь добавлять в эту категорию и / или работать над отставанием. doncram ( разговор ) 23:29, 17 февраля 2009 (UTC)

Эта баптистская церковь в предгорьях (Эссекс, Нью-Йорк) , также известная как Церковь Назарянина, аккуратная, определенно хорошая готика Ричарда Апджона / плотника. Не уверен, есть ли он в вашем списке наблюдения, когда вы редактировали / разрабатывали его раньше. Недавно я добавил ссылки на документы и фотографии NRHP. К сожалению, фотографий HABS нет. Это заставляет меня хотеть добраться до этой части Нью-Йорка и сфотографировать ее, а также несколько соседних НХЛ. Ура, Донкрам ( разговор ) 04:30, 25 января 2009 г. (UTC)

Еще одна новая статья - United Methodist Church and Parsonage (Mount Kisco, New York) , чей документ NRHP описывает ее как Carpenter Gothic . Было бы здорово, если бы вы могли посетить эти две статьи и добавить соответствующие категории и / или разработать статьи в противном случае. doncram ( разговорное ) 20:27, 18 февраля 2009 (UTC)

Статья Спасательная эскадрилья

Я заметил, что вы являетесь участником Category: Inclusionist_Wikipedians . Я хотел бы, чтобы вы подумали о присоединении к Спасательной эскадрилье Статьи . Члены Спасательной эскадрильи сосредоточены на спасении статей для удаления, которые в противном случае могли бы быть потеряны навсегда. Я думаю, вы обнаружите, что наш проект соответствует вашему видению Википедии.

Я пытаюсь сгруппировать статьи об объектах наследия в Канаде по более управляемым категориям, основываясь на том, кто говорит, что то-то и такое-то является объектом наследия (какой уровень правительства или какой другой орган). Вот почему я вместо этого создал Категория: Здания в Канаде по реестру наследия . Я думаю, что мы должны работать над выявлением тех, кто говорит, что что-то является объектом наследия, а не создавать большие всеобъемлющие категории, которые склонны к бустеризму и трудно поддаются контролю. Вы согласны? - Кевлар ( обсуждение • вклад ) 02:51, 9 марта 2009 г. (UTC)

Ответ: Спасибо за ваше сообщение. Я могу согласиться с вами в некоторых отношениях, но не согласиться с другими. Объекты наследия - это не обязательно здания. Это могут быть археологические памятники, поля сражений, геологические памятники (например, Айерс-Рок в Австралии и т. Д. Я представляю категорию: объекты наследия в Канаде как зонтичную категорию, которая включает созданную вами категорию и дополняет ее, а не конкурирует с ней. С наилучшими пожеланиями.

Я заметил ваш комментарий по поводу списков Квебека и хотел сообщить вам, что вы всегда можете оставить мне не по этому поводу, так как я сам из Квебека и могу помочь с поиском «официальных» (не имеющих юридической силы) переводов законов. (а также «официальные названия» для различных обозначений сайта elgal) и т. д. Я работал над несколькими страницами ( Édifice Price , Clarendon Hotel ) и планировал сделать больше (в частности, историческое сохранение на странице Квебека ) когда я вошел в состояние бездействия википедии. Цирцей ( разговор ) 14:35, 16 марта 2009 (UTC)

Я заметил, что вы переместили церковь Святого Давидса из Рэднора в Уэйн. Я должен спросить, являетесь ли вы экспертом по этой церкви или местам в Пенсильвании. На самом деле это довольно сложно, и исторически это была церковь Святого Давида в Рэдноре. Границы трех уездов сходятся на церковной территории, отделяющей старую церковь от «часовни». Но церковь была здесь до границ, и название церкви Святого Давида в Рэдноре, вероятно, также предшествует границам. И стихотворение Лонгфелло ... Если у вас нет настоящей экспертной уверенности в том, что название должно быть именно таким, я предлагаю вернуть его обратно. Возможно, вы могли бы узнать у пользователя: Piledhigheranddeeper, что он думает. Смоллбоунс ( разговор ) 13:16, 12 апреля 2009 г. (UTC)

Пользователь: Piledhigheranddeeper, похоже, со мной согласен, и я поменяю название статьи обратно в течение нескольких дней, если вы не получите известие. Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать: я думаю, что вы допустили ошибку в сложной области, но мне не нравится идея просто вернуть вас - я определенно не хочу войны редактирования. Спасибо за любую помощь.

Обратите внимание на Википедию: Шаблоны для удаления / Журнал / 17 апреля 2009 г. # Шаблон: Church disambig и рассмотрите возможность комментирования. doncram ( разговор ) 14:46, 17 апреля 2009 (UTC)

Спасибо за комментарий. Теперь обсуждение переместилось в сторону переименования связанной категории из Категории: Страницы значений неоднозначности церковного строительства в нечто более общее, возможно, «Страницы значений неоднозначности церковных зданий ». Это поможет охватить конфессии и общины, но, похоже, исключит синагоги и мечети. Что вы думали о выборе места поклонения раньше? И мне интересно, как конкретно называлась ваша категория раньше. Надеюсь, ты все равно снова будешь там вмешиваться. Спасибо! doncram ( разговор ) 09:17, 24 апреля 2009 (UTC)

Я предложил переместить Первую Церковь Христа, Ученого (Бостон) в Первую Церковь Христа, Ученого, поскольку я считаю, что устранение неоднозначности в Бостоне необходимо. Я заметил, что вы прокомментировали последний ход, но на самом деле не привели никаких причин для возражения. Не могли бы вы прокомментировать новую дискуссию здесь: Talk: The First Church of Christ, Scientist (Boston) #Requested move . Я не собираюсь объединять какой-либо контент, просто уберите (Бостон) из названия, вы можете увидеть мои причины по этой ссылке на странице обсуждения. Обычно лучше всего подходит самый простой заголовок для статьи. LonelyMarble ( разговор ) 16:36, 17 апреля 2009 г. (UTC)

Эй, по какой причине вы только что переехали из Британской Колумбии (США) в Британскую Колумбию, не предложив переезда и не обсудив его сначала? Об этом говорили в Talk: Boston College (США) , где он не только поддерживался редакторами (включая меня, да), но и встречался с WP: UNIGUIDE . Должен признать, что мне немного любопытно, как / почему вы могли бы подумать об этом, не обсуждая это сначала (и, по-видимому, выполняете такую ​​дрянную работу, поскольку страница обсуждения не перенаправляет должным образом после вашего хода). - Aepoutre ( разговор ) 18:41, 17 апреля 2009 г. (UTC)

Ах, я не понимал, что это вы впервые подняли шум по этому поводу. Что ж, теперь я бы выразил еще большую обеспокоенность тем, что 1) вы сделаете шаг, когда разговор будет идти не так, как вам нужно, и 2) что вы сделаете это вопреки стандартам WP: UNI . Совсем не круто. - Aepoutre ( разговор ) 18:44, 17 апреля 2009 г. (UTC)
Это не его вина, что страница обсуждения не перенаправляется, потому что ее нельзя переместить, потому что в истории есть еще одно изменение, но я перечислил это в Википедии: Запрошенные ходы # Неоспоримые запросы, поэтому ее следует переместить в ближайшее время. И я думаю, что Бостонский колледж должен оставаться названием статьи для колледжа в США, поскольку он на порядок более примечателен, чем колледж в Англии, поэтому Бостон, штат Массачусетс, был переведен в Бостон по той же причине, по которой я думаю, Бостонский колледж тоже не должен быть переадресацией. LonelyMarble ( разговор ) 18:46, 17 апреля 2009 г. (UTC)
Если переезд должен был быть осуществлен законно, его следует обсудить в Talk: Boston College , а не ex post facto здесь, поскольку разговор уже был начат. Я особенно обеспокоен тем, что в сводке редактирования не было дано ни одной ссылки на консенсус, и не было оставлено никаких примечаний для меня, «виновника» первоначального шага в WP: UNIGUIDE . LonelyMarble, я продолжу этот разговор с вами на соответствующей странице обсуждения, если вы не против. Ваше здоровье! - Aepoutre ( разговор ) 18:53, 17 апреля 2009 г. (UTC)

В Историческом районе Ланкастера был размещен тег с просьбой о его скорейшем удалении из Википедии. Это было сделано по следующей причине:

Это страница значений для несуществующих статей. Тоже сирота.

Согласно критериям быстрого удаления статьи, не соответствующие основным критериям Википедии, могут быть удалены в любое время. Пожалуйста, ознакомьтесь с рекомендациями по поводу того, что обычно считается подходящей статьей , и если вы можете указать, почему тема этой статьи уместна, вы можете оспорить пометку. Для этого добавьте вверху страницы и оставьте заметку на странице обсуждения статьи с объяснением вашей позиции. Не удаляйте тег быстрого удаления самостоятельно, но не стесняйтесь добавлять в статью информацию, которая подтвердила бы значимость ее темы в соответствии с руководящими принципами.{{hangon}}

Я удалил быстрый тег и разработал неоднозначную страницу в соответствии с wp: MOSDAB. Я превратил одну красную ссылку в синюю, создав статью-заглушку, и продолжил разговор с пользователем: Кевин Ректор . Думаю, это сделано.

Спасибо! Не могли бы вы прокомментировать еще раз, в Википедии: Категории для обсуждения / Журнал / 2 мая 2009 г. # Категория: Страницы значений церковного строительства . Может быть, результатом будет восстановление шаблона и категории разрешения неоднозначности мест поклонения, я не знаю, волнует меня или нет, пока сохраняется какой-то шаблон и категория. Как бы то ни было, я устал, но я думаю, что нужно держаться, чтобы увидеть, что TfD и CfD не пойдут плохо из-за слишком небольшого информированного участия. doncram ( разговор ) 05:57, 3 мая 2009 (UTC)

Спасибо за замечание - я просто форматирую эти верхние и нижние колонтитулы, чтобы они соответствовали подавляющему большинству других списков на уровне округа по всей стране. Я впервые увидел этот формат в представлении Дтборером списков округов Пенсильвании.

На мой взгляд, это не такая уж большая проблема: многие штаты были в этом формате, по крайней мере, с конца прошлого года, и хотя я смотрю каждый список NRHP для 28 разных штатов, я не помню, чтобы видел такую ​​проблему, как вы упомянули. в любом из списков, которые я смотрю. Если это произойдет, нетрудно объяснить, что это только NRHP. Одно различие между ситуацией сейчас и ситуацией, когда вы добавили эти заголовки, состоит в том, что мы больше не используем терминологию «RHP» (простите меня, если я просто говорю вам то, что вы знаете); поскольку мы специально используем «NRHP», должно быть легче объяснить несведущим редакторам, что это не просто какие-то исторические места, которые где-то зарегистрированы. Найттенд ( разговор ) 00:39, 31 мая 2009 г. (UTC)

Я не понимаю, почему нужно позволять идеям одного редактора противоречить стандартам всего проекта. Если бы это было так, то Mapits по-прежнему оставался бы внизу всех статей сообщества :-) Я восстановил список Framingham для перенаправления, и теперь он в моем списке наблюдения; если редактор снова откроется, я отнесу его в AFD, потому что нет четких критериев для включения любых сайтов, не относящихся к NRHP. Если мне понадобится поддержка, я скажу вам, и, вероятно, Донкраму и Санфранману59. Найттенд ( разговор ) 01:48, 31 мая 2009 (UTC)
Чтобы ответить на то, что вы сказали, в первую очередь - поскольку вилки контента не разрешены, я не понимаю, почему нам нужно беспокоиться о том, чтобы они продолжали существовать. Большинство редакторов разумно относятся к подобным вещам, поэтому нетрудно объяснить точную цель списка. Я с трудом могу себе представить, чтобы несколько редакторов без носков и без мяса захотели поддержать какую-то маргинальную идею, такую ​​как список Фрамингема, поэтому мы, люди проекта NRHP, должны суметь продемонстрировать простым обсуждением, что это плохая идея. И если в этом случае возникнет проблема, мы всегда можем передать ее в AFD, где наши стандарты проекта должны облегчить ее решение. В любом случае: я думал, вы имели в виду, что люди будут добавлять на эти страницы сайты, не относящиеся к NRHP, и использование слова «NRHP» во вступлении, как я полагаю, предотвратит это или снизит вероятность того, что люди будут жаловаться, если они добавят прочее и мы его удалим. Ниттенд ( разговор ) 01:52, 31 мая 2009 (UTC)
Редактор Framingham отменил мое перенаправление, добавив сводку редактирования «Восстановление содержимого. Обсудите, если вы считаете, что у него нет оснований для включения», поэтому я ответил. Если он ответит больше, вы бы приняли участие? Я тоже попрошу помощи у Донкрама. Найттенд ( разговор ) 04:11, 1 июня 2009 (UTC)
Я прокомментировал в Talk: Исторические места в Фрамингеме, Массачусетс . Это не самая лучшая статья со списком местных исторических мест, но я поддержу, если местные редакторы захотят сделать статьи-списки о небольших местах, которые включают больше исторических мест, чем NRHP. Я бы не хотел, чтобы они взяли на себя и преобразовали наши основные статьи-списки NRHP, но здесь дело обстоит не так: NRHP во Фрамингеме освещаются в статье со списком для всего округа. Так что я не вижу проблемы в наличии статьи со списком местных исторических достопримечательностей. Опять же, дальше можно там обсудить. Ура, Донкрам ( разговор ) 06:13, 1 июня 2009 г. (UTC)

Привет, я заметил, что вы редактировали несколько статей, связанных с Северным Миннеаполисом, и я хотел рассказать вам о проекте, в котором я участвую, под названием InsideNorthside. По сути, это википедия для Северного Миннеаполиса, построенная на википространствах (которая немного более удобна для пользователя, чем mediawiki, хотя и не так надежна).

Привет Clariosophic,

Я прошу Википедистов, интересующихся юридическими статьями в США, взглянуть на WP: Hornbook , новую «рабочую группу по учебной программе JD».

Наша миссия состоит в том, чтобы ассимилировать в Википедию все идеи, полученные в американской юридической школе, за счет сокращения справочников до сносок .

  • В течение семестра каждая подстраница будет смещать фокус, чтобы отслеживать развертывание учебных программ для классов, использующих этот журнал по всей стране.
  • Он также будет включать в себя обширный гиперссылочный «указатель» или «схему» этого журнала, указывающий на страницы, заголовки или {{ якоря }} в Википедии ( пример ).
  • Отдельные юридические школы могут свободно адаптировать структуру нашего сборника дел к индивидуальной учебной программе, разработанной каждым отдельным профессором.
  • Я призываю студентов юридических факультетов по всей стране создавать местные отделения клуба, который я начинаю в своей юридической школе, «Студент WP: редакторы Hornbook». Используя WP: Hornbook в качестве нашей штаб-квартиры, мы надеемся создать группу по изучению, настолько инклюзивную, что никто не осмелится к ней не присоединиться .

Что вы можете сделать сейчас:

1. Добавьте WP: Hornbook в свой список наблюдения, {{ User Hornbook }} на свою пользовательскую страницу и ~~~~ в Wikipedia: Hornbook / members .
2. Если вы студент юридического факультета,
  • Отправьте сообщение по адресу http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook своим одноклассникам и попросите их сделать то же самое.
  • Свяжитесь со мной напрямую через страницу обсуждения или по электронной почте о координации главы "Student WP: Hornbook Editors" в вашей школе.
( Вам не обязательно создавать клуб или даже участвовать в нем; просто помогите направить меня к тому, кто может. )
3. Представьтесь мне. Редакторы законов в Википедии - редкость. Стучитесь на мою страницу обсуждения, если есть статья, по которой вам нужна помощь.

С уважением, Андрей Gradman  ток / WP: азбука 20:21, 31 июля 2009 (UTC)

Я не уверен. Я был там вчера, и это не выглядело так, как будто оно в настоящее время используется UCC - на нем есть вывески крупного агентства по аренде и различные названия организаций, но нет, IIRC, каких-либо знаков UCC или названия выше. Его не показывают на национальных или массовых сайтах UCC, и это не одно из имен на большой новой вывеске, которую вы можете увидеть слева от двери (но не прочитать) здесь.Allston Congregational Church Boston MA 01.jpg. Я собираюсь предположить, что она сочеталась с Брайтонской евангелической конгрегационалистской церковью, которая теперь называет себя конгрегационалистской церковью Олстон Брайтон. Также см. Последнюю строчку здесь. и это. А также. наконец, телефон, указанный на церковном веб-сайте, не отвечает - никакой машины, просто звонит. Это очень не похоже на церковный телефон.

Мне, наверное, следовало все это проверить, прежде чем добавить в статью церковный веб-сайт - но я думаю, что это мертвый сайт. . . . . Джим . . . . Джеймслвудвард ( обсуждение • вклад ) 15:48, 12 ноября 2009 г. (UTC)

Привет. Вашему аккаунту предоставлено право « рецензент », что позволяет вам просматривать правки других пользователей на определенных помеченных страницах. Незавершенные изменения, также известные как помеченная защита, в настоящее время проходят двухмесячную пробную версию, которая должна закончиться 15 августа 2010 года.

Рецензенты могут просматривать правки, внесенные пользователями, которые не подтвердили автоматически статьи, помещенные в список ожидающих изменений. Незавершенные изменения применяются только к небольшому количеству статей , аналогично тому, как применяется полузащита, но более контролируемым способом для испытания. Список статей с ожидающими изменениями, ожидающими рассмотрения, находится по адресу Special: OldReviewedPages .

При проверке правки должны приниматься, если они не являются очевидным вандализмом или нарушением BLP и не являются явно проблематичными в свете причины, указанной для защиты (см. Википедия: процесс проверки ). Более подробную документацию и инструкции можно найти здесь .

Если вам не нужны эти права пользователя, вы можете попросить любого администратора удалить его за вас в любое время. Курсель ( разговор ) 04:36, 17 июня 2010 (UTC)

Здравствуйте, я надеюсь, что у вас все в порядке, и я искренне извиняюсь за это вторжение. Я только что прочитал ваш профиль и увидел, что вы гордитесь тем, что являетесь ирландцем (я хотел бы в ближайшее время посетить вашу чудесную страну!), Поэтому вы понимаете, что такое второстепенный язык и культура, и, возможно, я вас не беспокою и вы поможете нам ... Я являюсь членом каталонской ассоциации "Amical de la Viquipèdia", которая пытается получить некоторое признание в качестве каталонского отделения, но на тот момент это не было одобрено. Мы будем признательны за вашу поддержку, если вы разместите это на своей первой странице: Wikimedia CAT . Поддержка нас будет равносильна предоставлению равных возможностей меньшинствам языков и культур в будущем! Еще раз спасибо, желаю отличного лета, береги себя! Картинка кота действительно хорошая и красивая, котик очень милый, извините! Продолжайте сохранять свою великую культуру, страну, музыку и язык, даже если вы живете в США, как и многие из моих ирландско-американских друзей! Slán agat! Capsot ( разговор ) 07:23, 18 июня 2010 (UTC)

Только что обнаружил и с большим интересом прочитал вашу недавнюю статью о здании суда округа Доусон (Небраска) .

Я живу в Кирни, штат Небраска , и фотографирую как объекты NRHP, так и здания судов в штате. Если вы обдумываете или работаете над статьей на сайте в Небраске и хотите ее проиллюстрировать, пожалуйста, оставьте сообщение на моей странице обсуждения. Я не могу обещать быстрых результатов, но много путешествую по штату и, вероятно, смогу сделать несколько снимков в течение года или около того после запроса ...

- Аммодрамус ( разговор ) 00:24, 25 июля 2010 г. (UTC)

Спасибо за ответ. Насколько я помню, был довольно мрачный день, когда я фотографировал оперный театр Аллена. Я постараюсь вернуться в Козад солнечным днем.
Между прочим, если вас интересуют суды Небраски, вы можете взглянуть на Commons: Категория: Здание суда округа Тайер (Небраска) . Я был удивлен, обнаружив, что здания суда не было на NRHP; Небольшое исследование показало, что когда-то у него была остроконечная крыша и башня, которые были снесены торнадо 1953 года. Хотя это изменение явно делает его непригодным для участия в программе NRHP, мне кажется, что это только добавляет зданию примечательности.
- Аммодрамус ( разговор ) 00:49, 25 июля 2010 г. (UTC)
Я очень завидую тебе пантере. Я прожил в Аризоне 25 лет, много времени проводил на открытом воздухе и ни разу не видел горного льва. Ближе всего я подошел к возможному следу в засохшей грязи возле Надгробия.
Как и вы, я пытаюсь стать лучшим фотографом методом проб и ошибок. Конечно, часть его отказывается фотографировать при плохом освещении - как, например, было в Оперном театре Аллена. Но я решил на всякий случай сделать снимки; достаточное количество участков Небраски было потеряно из-за пожаров, торнадо и тому подобного. Я подумал, что было бы неплохо иметь несколько снимков в резерве, даже если их качество было невысоким.
- Аммодрамус ( разговор ) 17:59, 25 июля 2010 г. (UTC)
Недавно вернулся в Козад, штат Небраска, ясным ясным днем ​​и сфотографировал оперный театр Аллена и отель Hendee при лучшем освещении, чем во время моей последней поездки. Загрузили новые фото.

Я вижу, вы добавили Villa vizcaya в категорию: Историческая архитектура Флориды в 1989 году в списки опросов AIA в округе Майами-Дейд. Это кажется очень интересным, но я смотрю в GOOGLE и ничего не вижу об опросе AIA 1989 года. Не могли бы вы указать мне ссылку для этого? GroveGuy ( разговор ) 02:54, 7 августа 2010 (UTC)

Добро пожаловать в проект !. Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы, комментарии или предложения - Кумиоко ( разговор ) 15:18, 4 января 2011 г. (UTC)

Приветствую, я некоторое время смотрю WikiProject South Carolina, и он, похоже, не очень активен, и у меня было предложение для участников. Я хотел бы в какой-то степени перетянуть WPUS под WikiProject United States. Я не обязательно говорю о полном слиянии, если только этого не хотят члены WPSC, но я имею в виду вот что.

  1. Проект останется таким, как есть, за исключением пары вещей. Я хотел бы заменить {{ WikiProject South Carolina }} на {{ WikiProject United States }} и добавить WPSC в список проектов, поддерживаемых WPUS. Это будет включать замену шаблона WPSC на страницах обсуждения статей на WPUS / Южная Каролина (если вы хотите увидеть, например, Вашингтон, округ Колумбия).
  2. Я бы также добавил его в список проектов, поддерживаемых WPUS, на главной целевой странице WPUS.

Я думаю, это принесет пользу обоим проектам.

  1. Это повысит видимость Южной Каролины и связанных статей для гораздо большей базы пользователей.
  2. Это позволит WPSC легче извлекать выгоду из ботов, работающих для WPUS. Это включает в себя бот оповещения о статьях, который предупреждает о статьях и изображениях для удаления или продвижения. Это обеспечит максимальную видимость, если статья, касающаяся Южной Каролины, будет отправлена ​​на удаление или продвижение.
  3. Это позволило бы статьям, относящимся к Южной Каролине, подпадать под действие WPUS и Южной Каролины.
  4. Это несколько снизило бы затраты на обслуживание за счет объединения шаблонов.
  5. Это уменьшит количество шаблонов, видимых в статьях.
  6. В дополнение к вышесказанному, я обычно просматриваю все статьи в рамках WPUS каждый месяц или 2 раза исправляю различные вещи (разделы, опечатки, персональные данные, категории и т. Д.), И это позволит статьям из Южной Каролины гораздо легче попасть под это. .

Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, какие мысли или идеи у вас есть по этому поводу, и будут ли другие участники восприимчивы к этому. Я также добавил сообщение на страницу обсуждения WikiProject South Carolina. Заранее спасибо. - Кумиоко ( разговор ) 20:25, 11 января 2011 г. (UTC)

Первым из того, что, я надеюсь, будет ежемесячный информационный бюллетень, я снова хочу поприветствовать вас в проекте и надеюсь, что, работая вместе в течение года, мы сможем расширить проект, создать недостающие статьи и в целом улучшить взаимное сотрудничество и поддержку. . Теперь, когда у нас есть проект и солидный пул желающих участников, я хотел нанести удар, пока железо горячо, и попросить помощи в некоторых вещах, которые я считаю хорошим следующим шагом в укреплении проекта. Я изложил несколько предложений, с которыми вы можете помочь, на странице обсуждения проектов . Это включает, но не ограничивается, обновление Portal: United States , оценку оставшихся статей, связанных с США, которые не были оценены, удаление Unrefernced BLP и других. Если у вас есть другие предложения или вы заинтересованы в других делах, не стесняйтесь. Я просто хотел предложить несколько предложений, если потребуется дополнительная помощь. Пожалуйста, не стесняйтесь обращаться ко мне, если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы, комментарии или предложения, или вы всегда можете опубликовать что-то на странице обсуждения проектов. Если вы не хотите получать ежемесячные сообщения, поставьте * перед своим именем на странице участников - Кумиоко ( разговор ) 02:51, 12 января 2011 г. (UTC)

Начиная с выпуска за февраль 2011 года, WikiProject United States создала информационный бюллетень, чтобы информировать всех, кто интересуется темами, связанными с США, о последних изменениях. В этом информационном бюллетене будут обсуждаться не только вопросы, касающиеся WikiProject United States, но также:

  1. Портал: США
  2. США википедианы обьявления
  3. сотрудничество США википедиана месяца - Совместная статья за февраль Девятнадцатой Поправка к Конституции Соединенных Штатов
  4. и изменения в Википолитике, событиях и других вещах, которые могут вас заинтересовать.

Вы можете прочитать информационный бюллетень или помочь в его написании, подписаться, отказаться от подписки или изменить формат, в котором будут доставляться вам будущие выпуски, перейдя по этой ссылке .

Как правильно использовать слово «епископальный» для описания человека, который является членом протестантской епископальной церкви? Помимо моего Кена ( выступление ) 02:13, 25 октября 2011 г. (UTC)

Епископальное это человек , который принадлежит к епископальной церкви . ИМХО, истинный епископалий никогда бы не назвал свою церковь "епископальной" церковью. Не-епископалы используют эту терминологию насмешливо или по незнанию. В любом случае, я считаю его использование оскорбительным как член епископальной церкви. Кстати, термин протестантская епископальная церковь или PE-церковь сегодня редко используется епископальными членами США, за исключением исторического контекста. С наилучшими пожеланиями. клариософский ( разговор ) 17:30, 25 октября 2011 г. (UTC)
Спасибо, всегда рад узнать что-то новое. Помимо моего Кена ( разговор ) 17:33, 25 октября 2011 (UTC)

Привет, клариософский,

Я учусь в Университете Клемсона и создаю проект википедии для одного из моих уроков английского языка. Я полагаю, что свяжусь с двумя википедистами с просьбой дать ответ на мою статью.

Это ссылка на мою песочницу: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Krondorx/Saluda_%28band%29_sandbox

Работа над ним продолжается, но если вы видите что-то, что выделяется, как больной палец, не стесняйтесь комментировать.

Я только что опубликовал статью о Театре Принцесс (Эдмонтон) . Он указан как провинциальный исторический ресурс в провинции Альберта, и поэтому я считаю, что он попадает в сферу охвата исторических сайтов WikiProject. Я также заметил, что вы берете статьи из Канады, и поэтому мне было интересно, готовы ли вы добавить страницу в проект, оценить ее в рамках проекта и, возможно, принять ее номинацию в GA.

Спасибо!

Здорово, что там ремонт. И фото получше. Я побывал в своем расширенном дорожном путешествии на День Благодарения в 2010 году, и погода была дрянной от округа Дейд до южного Мартина. Это было хорошо только после Hobe Sound. Если бы я знал о Доме мыльных пузырей, я бы сделал несколько фотографий, когда проходил через него. Надеюсь, вы получили немного, пока получали школьные.

От редактора

В этом месяце отмечается празднование Пятидесятницы , одного из самых важных праздников христианского литургического года. Мы надеемся, что все вы, независимо от вашей религиозной принадлежности (если таковая имеется), найдете этот праздник и сопутствующие ему мероприятия приятным и полезным опытом. Мы также надеемся, что этот «День Рождения Церкви» доставит вам такую ​​же радость, как день рождения вас или ваших близких.

Ichthus является преемником давно существующего информационного бюллетеня WikiProject Christianity, который ведется отделом WikiProject Christianity Outreach . Таким образом, вы по-прежнему будете видеть информацию о наших последних избранных и хороших статьях, DYK, а также о новых участниках, которые присоединились к нашему проекту. Вы также можете увидеть ссылки на новости, связанные с христианством, в основных СМИ!

На этом я желаю всем приятного чтения!

Помогите ввести Wikipe-tan "в лоно"

Wikipe-tan full length.svg

Как многие из вас, возможно, знают, наш неофициальный талисман, дорогой Википетан, еще не выразил никаких конкретных убеждений. Однако да, как мы все знаем, кхм, некоторые люди могут возражать против того, чтобы наш любимый талисман носился в наряде французской горничной . Знаете, люди действительно разговаривают. ;) Если кто-нибудь сможет развить образ дорогой девушки в образе больше, ну, "Кристиан", я бы хотел увидеть, возможно, голосование в следующем месяце по поводу того, какой образ дорогой девушки мы будем может сделать наш собственный неофициальный талисман. Пожалуйста, разместите здесь свои изображения .

Христианство в других вики

Wikimedia Foundation RGB logo with text.svg
Как и многие из вас, существует большое количество других проектов Фонда Викимедиа, включая WikiSource, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, WikiQuote и другие. Я определенно верю, что Викиучебники и Викицитатник могут быть одними из наиболее релевантных родственных проектов. Если кто-либо из вас может вспомнить какие-либо конкретные усилия в этих других проектах, которые, по вашему мнению, выиграют от большего вклада, сообщите нам об этом здесь, чтобы мы могли помочь распространить информацию.

По Джон Картер

В центре внимания информационный отдел

Handshake (Workshop Cologne '06).jpeg

Ихтус осветит другой подпроект или рабочую группу WikiProject Christianity. В этом выпуске мы расскажем о нашем жизненно важном информационном отделе . Это сравнительно небольшое, но жизненно важное подразделение проекта предназначено для приветствия новых редакторов Википедии и контента, связанного с христианством, а также для предоставления информации различным участникам проекта в таких формах, как этот информационный бюллетень.

Объем статей, которыми занимается эта группа, поистине огромен, и, учитывая большое разнообразие материалов, с которыми мы имеем дело, мы очень приветствовали бы вклад большего числа людей, особенно людей, которые особенно хорошо осведомлены о менее известных и реже отслеживаются статьи, связанные с христианством.

Говоря лично, я был бы очень, очень рад, если бы мы сделали это очень, очень большим и активным подразделением, в которое войдут представители широкого спектра христианских верований, практик и групп. Чем шире спектр и области знаний наших участников, тем лучше мы сможем помочь в управлении контентом. Пожалуйста, подумайте, можете ли вы внести свой вклад в этой жизненно важной области.

You're quite right – links on the dio page and the bishops list should match. I've determined (using Google Books) that Ousley should be at Todd Ousley, and I'm in the process of a long series of edits overhauling the bishops list, so they will match once I've got to him...

I believe

... in the statements contained in the Nicene Creed. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the Sacred tradition, which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the Magisterium has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that clerical celibacy is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the Catholic Church.

Contest of the month
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 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. As biographies are often a bit easier, this month we are choosing two biographies: Karl Behm, which has yet to be started, and the currently Stub-class article Nerses IV the Gracious. A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.


Calendar
Thie coming month (mid-August through mid-September) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bartholomew the Apostle, Nativity of Mary, and the Exaltation of the Cross.

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, William de Chesney (sheriff), Knights of Columbus, and Angelus Silesius were promoted to GA level. Our thanks and congratulations to all those involved.

WikiNews-Logo-en.svg

Wikinews is our sister site for developing news stories. Several events relating to Christianity, like the installation of bishops for instance, do not necessarily merit extensive coverage in wikipedia encyclopedic articles, but can and easily could be covered at greater length in a news article format. Given the number of significant news events that relate to religion, including claims of miracles, assignment of bishops and other religious leaders, church conferences, and other events, this site provides an excellent opportunity to provide in-depth coverage of current events at greater length than wikipedia.

One of our newer editors, User:David_FLXD, has recently gone through much of our content related to Methodism and assessed it. We are very grateful for his efforts, and that of all the editors who have had a role in developing that content. We have every reason to believe that this will make it significantly easier for the Methodism work group to create and develop content relevant to Methodism. To help that along, we certainly encourage everyone to do what they can to help David and the other Methodism editors to bring the content relevant to their tradition to the highest possible level of quality.


I believe
... in the Holy Trinity, the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, the Arminian conception of free will through God's prevenient grace, and the regular renewal of the individual's covenant with God. I am a Methodist.

Wikimedia Foundation report

Wikipedia-logo-simple.png

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 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.

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 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
... 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.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Christian Science tenets, prayers, and statements 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/List of Christian Science tenets, prayers, and statements 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.

WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

The core topics work group is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the core topics list. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at WT:X regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.

Church of the month


This image of The Baptistry of Saint John in Pisa by User:NotFromUtrecht

was recently promoted to Featured Image. Thank you and congratulations for the great image!


Contest of the month
As I imagine many of our editors will be editing at a greatly reduced level for the next few weeks, what with the Christmas and New Year's holidays coming, there is no specific content-related contest this month. The contest, if anything, is to make the most of the season, in whatever way, if any, you deem appropriate.


Calendar
This coming month (mid-December through mid-January) includes the Advent season, and one of the two greatest holidays of the Christian year, Christmas. Other major feasts in the next month include those of the Feast of the Epiphany, Baptism of the Lord, Saint Stephen, Thomas the Apostle, Holy Innocents, John the Evangelist, Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil the Great, Saint Genevieve, Elizabeth Ann Seton, and Saint Sava.


Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, Anne Hutchinson nominated by User:Sarnold17 was promoted to FA. Grade I listed churches in Lancashire by User:Peter I. Vardy was promoted to Featured List. The image in the Church of the Month and Christian art sections of this newsletter were promoted to Featured Picture status. Come to the Well by User:Toa Nidhiki05 and others, and Dwight Christmas by User:Gen. Quon and others were promoted to GA level. DYKs featured this past month include King's Chapel, Gibraltar, by User:Prioryman, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Albany, New York) by User:Daniel Case, Tingsted Church by User:Ipigott and User:Rosiestep, St. Mary's Church (Albany, New York) by User:Daniel Case, Stubbekøbing Church by User:Ipigott and User:Rosiestep, Notre Dame Cathedral (Phnom Penh) by User:Bloom6132, and St. James' Church, Cardington by User:Peter I. Vardy. Our profoundest thanks and congratulations to all those involved!

Spotlight

In the spirit of Christmas, the spotlight for the coming month might actually best be on those people closest to you. We know that a lot of our editors here are associated in some way or another with schools, and many if not most of them are going on rather extended breaks for the holidays. This can give some of us a chance to meet up with old friends, spend time with our families and those close to us, and, in a sense, "recharge" for the new year. So, for all of you who are in some way part of that group, we wish you the very best of holidays. We hope you all return to editing after the holidays with your spirits lifted and with your energies at peak level. There are some small matters in development here as well, and it is our hope that some of them will be ready come the next newsletter. But, until then, we wish you all the happiest and holiest (if appropriate) holidays.


Help requests
Please let us know if there are any particular areas, either individual articles or topics, which you believe would benefit from outside help from a variety of other editors. We will try to include such requests in future issues.

Church of the month


This image of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Tallinn, Estonia by User:Poco a poco

was recently promoted to Featured Image. Thank you and congratulations for the great image!


Contest of the month
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. I am starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard#Future contests, and would very much welcome any input from interested parties in how to set it up, determine winners including how many winners, etc.

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, the image in the "Church of the Month" section of this newsletter was promoted to Featured Image status.

Also this past month, the DYKs on the main page included St James' Church, Cardington by Peter I.

Vardy, Monastery of the Holy Trinity, Meteora, by Peter I. Vardy, Sonrise Church, by Aboutmovies, St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Albany, New York), by Daniel Case, All Saints Church, Claverley, by Peter I.

Spotlight

The Spotlight this month turns to the the Syriac Christianity work group. The scope of this project includes the various traditions of Syriac Christianity, including the Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Church of the East, Syriac Orthodox Church, Chaldean Catholic Church, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Syriac Catholic Church, Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, and Saint Thomas Christians. One of these groups, the Assyrian Church of the East, is considered by scholars to have probably been, for several hundred years, the largest Christian grouping in the planet, with its numerous members in Central Asia and Eastern Asia. Numerous texts, traditions, and practices unique to these groups exist, including the Jesus Sutras and the belief of the Assyrian Church of the East that the bread they use in the preparation of their Eucharist uses the same basic yeast as that used in the bread of the Last Supper itself. Sadly, given the linguistic barriers to much of the content relative to these groups, and the comparative lack of notoriety they have in the Western world, much of this content does receive less attenion, and thus less development, than much other content. There is a large amount of extremely valuable historical material here still waiting to be adequately developed by editors with an interest in the topic, and I personally very much hope that we can draw more attention to these topics, and the content related to them.

By John Carter


Calendar
This coming month (mid-January through mid-February) includes The Presentation of Christ in the Temple or Candlemas and the Conversion of Paul. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Saint Agnes, Saint Francis de Sales, Saints Timothy and Titus, Thomas Aquinas, John Bosco, Saint Agatha, Paul Miki, [{Saint Scholastica]], and Saint Anskar.

From the Editor

We apologise for the hiatus in the publication of this newsletter due to unforseen circumstances leading to the wikibreak of John Carter, and so I have taken over as acting editor, and have taken this opportunity to move the publication date to the start of each month as planned, to better reflect on the previous month and look ahead to the next. This issue covers the period of time from mid-January to the end of March.

Since the last issue we have seen the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis. This has received much coverage both in the world media and on Wikipedia. While there is still much work to do, several quality articles have been written and the editors involved are thanked for their efforts.


This month we look ahead to Easter and the celebration of God's love for mankind through the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. With that, I wish you all happy reading!

Christian art

Complete recording

Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe, BWV 22, a cantata by the German composer J.S. Bach, was promoted to GA this month and was written by Gerda Arendt. Many thanks for her continuing work in the area of early 18th Century Church music.

Spotlight

The Spotlight this month turns to the the Jesus work group. The scope of this project includes the life and teachings of the central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ and aims to write about them in a non-denominational encylopædic style. Top-priority articles include Jesus, Christ, Resurrection of Jesus, and Holy Grail, whereas High-priority articles include Aramaic Language, a former FA, as well as Sermon on the Mount, Lamb of God, and Passion (Christianity). The workgroup has also published two books, covering Christ's final days and the Parables of Jesus. The workgroup has two GAs, Nativity scene, and Jesus in Islam, but unfortunately the flagship article, Jesus was delisted in 2009. It is also responsible for three WP:1.0 articles, and the WikiWork of the project is 4.56, which indicates the "average" article is between Start and C class.


By Gilderien


Calendar
This coming month (end-March through end-April) includes Easter Sunday in Western Christianity and both Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Saint George, Saint Mark the Evangelist, Saint Stanislaus, James, son of Zebedee, and Benedict the Moor.

From the Editor

This month we hear the news that the Bible is to be made into a film after outstanding success of a biblical miniseries on the History Channel, and we have seen the release of Iraqi Pastor Ali Hamzah from his confinement in Iraq.

After last month's spotlight on the Jesus work group, the flagship article, Jesus, was nominated for Good Article status after much work from FutureTrillionaire and History2007, and provisionally passed by the reviewer, although they have requested a second opinion. Our many thanks for the hard work that has gone into restoring this article to a quality piece of work.

This month the second largest denomination of Christianity, the Eastern Orthodox Church, celebrates Easter and the death and resurrection of the Son of God Jesus Christ.

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report;

Featured report; Madonna in the Church, by Ceoil, Truthkeeper88, and Johnbod was promoted to Featured Article status. Crucifixion and Last Judgement was promoted to featured picture status, after nomination by Crisco 1492.

Wells Cathedral, by Rodw, Robert of Ghent, by User:Ealdgyth, Christianity in Medieval Scotland, by Sabrebd, and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, also by Sabrebd were promoted to GA status.

Also these past months, the DYKs on the main page included Lectionary 311, by Leszek Jańczuk; Herr Christ, der einig Gotts Sohn, by Gerda Arendt; Whalsay Parish Church, by Ipigott, Rosiestep, Nvvchar, Dr. Blofeld; Interpretatio Christiana, by Altenmann; First Congregational Church, Salt Lake City, by Orlady; Church of King Charles the Martyr, Royal Tunbridge Wells, by The C of E; First Church in Albany (Reformed), by Daniel Case; Pope Anastasius II, by AbstractIllusions; Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Palma, by Dr. Blofeld, Ipigott, Rosiestep; Colan Church, by Rosiestep, Nvvchar, Ipigott; Notre Dame Cathedral, Papeete, Bloom6132, Church of St. Wenceslaus (New Prague, Minnesota), by Elkman; St. Joseph Catholic Church (San Antonio, Texas), by Gilliam; Doubting Thomas, by Johnbod; Robert of Ghent, by Ealdgyth; and Holy Trinity Church, Holdgate, by Peter I. Vardy. Our profoundest thanks and congratulations to all those involved!

Christian art

This depiction of the Crucifixion and Last Judgement was painted by Dutch artist Jan van Eyck and promoted to Featured Picture this month.

Spotlight

SPOTLIGHT

This month, we turn our attention to the Encyclopedic articles sub-group, which aims to provide "a collection point for lists of articles contained in other reference sources relating to Christianity, which could serve as a basis for developing our own content". Created by John Carter, it is primarily a list of links, red or otherwise, for subjects which have an article in the reference works listed therein. This serves as a very useful list if any project members are "stuck for what to do" and there remains lots of potential for articles developed from this list.

By Gilderien


Calendar
This coming month (end-April through end-May) includes Easter Sunday for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Matthias the Apostle, The Venerable Bede, and Empress Helena.

ბუმბული.png
Since its formation in 2006, WikiProject Christianity has come a long way. A significant number of new articles have appeared on a wide range of topics, and the quality of some key articles has seen dramatic improvement. Yet, by the very nature of the open, crowd-sourced development environment in which we operate, as the number of pages in the project has increased at times our attention has been naturally diluted. We should of course strive for quality everywhere, but we should remember that this newsletter is called Ichthus.

Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability.

From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.

We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.


Church of the month

The current building of All Saints' Church, Winthorpe in Nottinghamshire, England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.


Good articles and DYKs
The article Jesus received the good article mark last month, as did Cleeve Abbey. A number of churches were featured on the main page in the DYK section in May, namely St. Lamberti, Hildesheim, Karja church, Braaby Church, St Patrick's Liverpool, Vlah Church, Freerslev Church, Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu, St. Michael's Cathedral (Sitka, Alaska), St. Lamberti, Hildesheim, Karja church, Braaby Church, St. Pierre Cathedral, Saint-Pierre, Mont Saint Michel Abbey, St Patrick's Church, Liverpool, Vlah Church, St Catherine of Siena Church, Cocking, Catedral Nuestra Señora de La Asunción, Roholte Church, Notre Dame Cathedral, Taiohae, Leicester Abbey, Caracas Cathedral, Caldey Abbey, King's Mead Priory, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong) andAll Saints' Church, Winthorpe, as well as the hymn What Wondrous Love Is This.

Focus on...

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The Historicity of Jesus article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics.

In 2011 John Dickson tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,he would eat a page of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe.

The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. Shlomo Pines' discovery of the Syriac Josephus) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.

From the bookshelf

Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence by Robert Van Voorst, 2000 ISBN  0-8028-4368-9

Just a few years after its publication, Van Voorst's book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - Blomberg and Harris separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Did you know...

A Handel manuscript
  • ... that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the initials "S. D. G.", for Soli Deo Gloria, at the beginning and end of all his church compositions to give God credit for the work, and that Handel at times did the same?

Calendar
The coming month includes days dedicated to the honor of Beheading of John the Baptist, Saints Peter and Paul, the Nativity of John the Baptist, and Saint Barnabas.

ბუმბული.png
Welcome to the July 2013 issue of Ichthus. We focus on the chronology of Jesus, as well as looking back at the project content improved over the last month.

WP:X has gained another Featured Article, Gospel of the Ebionites, by Ignocrates. The Gospel of the Ebionites is the name scholars give to an apocryphal gospel that supposedly belonged to a sect known as the Ebionites. It consists of seven short quotations discovered in a heresiology known as the Panarion, written by Epiphanius of Salamis, and its original title remains unknown. The text is a gospel harmony composed in Greek, and is believed to have been written during the middle of the 2nd century.

St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn was promoted to Good Article status, as was two other welsh churches, St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl, and St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch.

The main page also featured several DYK hooks for articles in our project, namely Bob Fu, List of places of worship in Tandridge (district), Catholic Press, Garendon Abbey, St. John's Episcopal Church (Jersey City, New Jersey), Pargev Martirosyan, Praskvica Monastery, Heather Preceptory, St. Augustin, Coburg, Longleat Priory, St Mihangel's Church, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn, St Enghenedl's Church, Llanynghenedl, Christianization of Moravia, Christianization of Bohemia, Repton Abbey, St Peter's Church, Llanbedrgoch, Medingen Abbey, Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church, St. James on-the-Lines, and Leopold Karl von Kollonitsch.

Church of the month

St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is part of Saint Sophia's Cathedral, Kiev in Ukraine. It is a functioning monastery that dates back to the Middle Ages.

Focus on...

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

When did Jesus live? When did he die? How do we know? We do, in fact, have excellent information about the time intervals for the life and death of Jesus. As in other people who lived and died in the first century, this gives an approximate date range, but still, give or take 3-4 years and we have pretty good estimates confirmed by a number of really diverse sources, ranging from inscriptions in Delphi to Roman and Jewish sources. The Chronology of Jesus article discusses how a wide variety of Christian, Jewish and Roman sources are used to establish the time-frame for the life and death of Jesus.

And all of his data fits together. For instance, the chronology of Paul had been discussed based on the Book of Acts long ago, then the Delphi Inscription is found in the 20th century in the Temple of Apollo. And guess what.. it confirms it and totally dates his trial in Corinth, which helps reaffirm the date of the crucifixion of Jesus. The same date range is independently estimated from the writings of Josephus on the Baptist's death. And it fits Isaac Newton's astronomical models for the crucifixion date as well as the independent lunar calculations of Humphreys. As that article shows, all these dates just fit together.

From the bookshelf

Chronos, kairos, Christos: nativity and chronological studies edited by J. Vardaman, E. M. Yamauchi 1989 ISBN  0-931464-50-1

This two volume book (with a very apt title) is gem-filled with scholarly research. Paul Maier's article in the first volume is a classic study on the chronology of Jesus and provides a useful summary of a number of issues.

Did you know...

Hemis monastery
  • ... that the Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch who in 1894 originated the story that there was evidence at the Hemis monastery that an adult Jesus had traveled to India, later confessed to fabricating his evidence?

Calendar
This month (July) contains the feast days of Mary Magdalene, and James, son of Zebedee.

Welcome to the August 2013 issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter. We focus on the historical Jesus and reflect on the last month.

The project has another featured picture, The ruins of Holyrood Chapel, a digitisation of an oil-on-canvas painting. Our top-importance article, Jesus, has been nominated for Featured Article status, the discussion can be seen here; Knights of Colombus has also been nominated as a FAC.

Ecgbert (bishop) and Church architecture in Scotland have both this month achieved Good Article status.

Our project had several of its articles featured in the main page DYK section, including Hinckley Priory, Little Chapel, St Peter's Church, Ropsley, Chip Ingram, St John the Evangelist's Church, Corby Glen, Great George Street Congregational Church, St Mary's Church, Walton-on-the-Hill and Bunge church.

Our thanks go to all of those who have worked to achieve these article milestones.

Church of the month

This image, of Maillezais Cathedral and created by Selbymay was this month promoted to featured picture status.

THE
HISTORICAL JESUS

What was Jesus like? What did he preach? Did he claim to be the Messiah? Did he predict an apocalypse? What can we know about him outside a religious context? The Historical Jesus article discusses what can be known about Jesus with various degrees of probability. While scholars agree on the over all flow and outline of Jesus' life (his baptism by John, debated Jewish authorities, healings, and his crucifixion by Pilate) they have built various and diverging portraits of the rest of his life. These range from minimalist portraits that accept very little of the gospel accounts to maximalists who accept most of the accounts as historical.

The portraits of Jesus have at times been unwitting reflections of the researchers themselves, and Crossan once quipped that some authors "do autobiography and call it biography". However, the study of historical Jesus has made one thing clear: there is so much to learn about Jesus that the more one looks, the more there is to discover.

From the bookshelf

Jesus of Nazareth: An Independent Historian's Account of His Life and Teaching by Maurice Casey 2010 ISBN  0-567-64517-7

In this book Maurice Casey not only draws on his special expertise in the Aramaic traditions and the Q source, but provides a comprehensive review of the various approaches to the historical Jesus.

Christian Demographics
  • ... that in 1951 Christianity was the second largest religion in the world with 500 million followers, compared to 520 million Buddhists, but by 2013 it had gained the top spot with about 2.2 billion Christians?

Calendar
This month we celebrate the feasts of St Lawrence, St Bernard, and St Augustine.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of former Christian Science churches, societies and buildings, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Walter Arnold. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello and good afternoon (at least it is afternoon where I am). I was looking at the Wikipedian firefighters category and noticed that you are one of the members of the Wikipedia community that lists yourself as being a firefighter. First and foremost let me say thank you for your service. While I myself am not a firefighter, I do work as a photographer with multiple local fire departments. I am honored to have firefighters as some of my closest friends.

I have been taking an active role in the Fire Service WikiProject and am trying to recruit more members to this cause. If this is something you have any interest in, please let me know? You can leave me a message on my talk page. Obviously there is zero obligation. An interest can be anything from helping out with a couple of pages in your local area to helping to overhaul major templates, and anything in between.

Once again, thank you for your service. Hope to hear from you soon. Stay safe! --Zackmann08 (talk) 17:50, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Northern New Mexico College, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page El Rito, New Mexico. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:30, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey Clariosophic!

I'm gathering a list of articles for a Black History Month edit-a-thon. I came upon the Masonic Temple Building (Blount Street, Raleigh, North Carolina), thanks to the stub template you added. I don't immediately see on the article or in quick research how it is African American-related. Do you have any tips?

I realize your edit was years ago, so appreciate anything you can recall.

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:29, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Project News
By Lionelt

Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter Ichthus! Getting this issue out was touch-and-go for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:

  • There was a lively discussion about the Easter Did You Know nomination Christ the Lord is Risen Today
  • RFC at Knights of Columbus regarding a question about having Prop 8 in the lead
  • In anticipation of being nominated for Featured article, Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was put up for Peer Review by Ltwin
  • The death of Billy Graham on February 21 was a profound loss for many. For the Wikipedia reaction see this discussion. Graham received a blurb.
  • And... Order of Friars Minor--nominated by Chicbyaccident--is still waiting for a GA reviewer. Please help out if you can.

Nominated by FutureTrillionaire

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)

Project News
By Lionelt

Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.

The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Featured article
Nominated by Spangineer

Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)

The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara

The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.

The Top 7 report
By Lionelt

The big news was the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Top 7 most popular articles in WikiProject Christianity were:

    1. Elizabeth I of England – legendary monarch who ushered in the Elizabethan Era over the dead body of her half-sister (#5)
    2. Henry VIII of England – on his deathbed the last words of the king who founded the English Reformation were "Monks! Monks! Monks!"
    3. Martin Luther King Jr. – can't wait to see the new US$5 bill featuring the "I Have a Dream" speech
    4. Seven deadly sins – surprisingly "original research" is not one of the Seven deadly sins
    5. Mary, Queen of Scots – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC)
    6. Michael Curry (bishop) – our article says that he upstaged Meghan at her wedding. Did you see her wedding pictures? All I can say is {{dubious}}
    7. Robert F. Kennedy – when informed that missiles were being installed in Cuba he famously quipped, "Can they hit Oxford, Mississippi?"

The Last Judgment by painter Hans Memling.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.

Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork, Ireland

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene. (more...)

Eric and Leslie Ludy were 21 and 16 respectively when they first met, English professors suggest that older singles are unlikely to gather hope from their story.

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.

The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals. (more...)

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part. (more...)

Quotes
"Faith lived in the incognito is one which is located outside the criticism coming from society, from politics, from history, for the very reason that it has itself the vocation to be a source of criticism. It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances."
~ Jacques Ellul
French philosopher, sociologist, and professor who was a noted Christian anarchist.

A tag has been placed on Category:Lutheran churches in Florida requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!
