Talk:Private revelation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on 7 July 2006. The result of the discussion was Keep and rewrite.

This is an article I imported from the Catholic Encyclopedia which I understand is not a violation of copyright law. I am in the process of editing the article to update its information and wikify it. Vaquero100 23:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

To avoid confusion and possibly deletion tags, in the future you may want to make sure that a) the article is tagged regarding its origins (in this case Template:Catholic and b) wikify, format, remove POV etc BEFORE starting the article. I'd suggest working on it in a txt file or wordprocessor of choice, or starting a subpage in the user namespace (i.e. User:Vaquero100/Private revelation). This way, editors won't see a huge block of unformated, unwikified text with langauge and POV issues that usually causes them to panic and speedy or AfD tag the article. The downside with this option is that you don't have other editors working on the conversion. Another option would be to have a subpage either on the Catholic project page, or the Catholic Encyclopedia project page (lets call it /conversion or something) where editors can have one or two articles the group can work on, and once they are ready to go live, only then start the new article in the main namespace, and move another article in the conversion queue). Anyway, the main point is that you should convert the article BEFORE uploading, instead of simply copying and pasting (as the Wikipedia:Catholic Encyclopedia topics page clearly warns you against doing).--Andrew c 01:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
