[edit] List of China Inland Mission missionaries in China

Those missionaries in this list page that are already in the List of China Inland Mission missionaries in China could be deleted from here and replaced as a group by inserting the CIM link. DFH 18:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Link inserted in the See also section. All that remains to do now is to filter out the CIM names from the list, and add an explanation near the top of the article. DFH 20:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I have now filtered out the names that were duplicated in the CIM list, though I can't vouch for accuracy on whether any of the names remaining should be moved to that list. I also restructured the page, and added a category. DFH 13:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actions required to improve the linked articles

The linked article for each listed missionary needs to be checked to see if the See also section has a list of names that can be simply replaced by a link back to this article, and/or to the one for CIM missionaries. DFH 19:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of China Inland Mission missionaries in China

Thanks, David for all of your good ideas. It might be good to break down the list by society. I plan on filling in a lot of these "red" links soon. Some individuals made contributions in multiple societies after leaving the C.I.M. and I wouldn't want to pigeonhole them (such as C.T. Studd). But I do agree that we have a lot of duplication going on. Brian York

[edit] Taiwan

I have assumed that it is appropriate to include here missionaries such as Reverend Thomas Barclay who was a missionary in Taiwan. DFH 15:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
