[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments

I believe that sub-pages in the article namespace are now considered inappropriate. It would be more acceptable to move the miniproject into the article talk namespace by naming it Talk:Syriac Christianity/miniproject. Otherwise, I think that's fine. We probably don't need to go throught the requested-moves procedure for this, as it a little subproject page. If there is no dissent after a few days, simply move it. — Gareth Hughes 15:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

As you all can see, I just did. I think there's no objection to turning this miniproject into a fully-fledged Wikipedia project. The number of articles involved --the list hasn't even been updated yet-- and the complexity of the matter are in my opinion enough reasons for that. --Benne ['bɛnə] (talk) 18:46, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Concur, and there's really no such thing as a "mini" project. --Dhartung | Talk 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal to resolve the Catholic/Roman Catholic debate

So far as I can determine, there are at least six archived pages of talk relating to the proper name of the page for the Catholic Church headed by the Pope. It is hard to imagine that this so-far endless discussion has not resulted in bad feelings on all sides. Regretably, no final resolution seems to be likely anytime soon if the same tactics are taken.

I would like to make a proposal which I believe might finally solve the core dispute which has led to this argument. I also note that I myself am in no way qualified to seek to "impose" this possibility on anyone, and am thus requesting that the majority of the rest of you involved in this discussion at least consider lending your support to this way of very likely resolving the current discussion.

As most of you will know, there is currently an election to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees ongoing. My proposal is that, come the end of this election, a special referendum regarding the name debate be held. Any and all editors who have taken part in the election, but only those individuals, would be eligible to vote to determine how this matter would be decided, including all those who claim no allegiance to any of the opposing sides. The decision reached would not be "final" in any real sense, but would resolve the question which has led to the current debate until some development which alters the current status quo takes place. Exactly how to determine what such developments would qualify could also be one of the issues involved in the vote.

I ask each of you to thoughtfully and, according to your own inclinations, prayerfully consider this proposal, and, if it is one agreeable to you, to help me in finding out exactly how to go about making this happen. (Hey, I'm kinda new here, OK?) Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Religious leaders

The current organization there is abit muddled, and needs some discussing how to deal with. A general proposal for cleaning it up is posted at Category talk:Religious leaders#Organization proposal, and more input would be great. It doesn't address the issue of Religious leaders/religious workers/religious figures, but that is another issue that exists. Badbilltucker 22:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
