[edit] Other insights from the Wikipedia guidelines
"Do not put overdue weight into one part of an article at the cost of other parts. In shorter articles, if one subtopic has much more text than another subtopic, that may be an indication that that subtopic should have its own page, with only a summary presented on the main page." Hmm... perhaps like the so-called "Current Events" section of this article????? Emerymat 13:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Errors in "List of famous UCC members or attendees"
Could someone try to check some of these claims? I'm not entirely sure how accurate the section is. --AlexJohnc3 (talk) 15:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Let's refocus our efforts a bit
I appreciate everyone's contributions and efforts, and the attempt to see that the 'current events' type information is not getting too biased one direction or the other. But, I would like to propose that perhaps some of us regular United Church of Christ article editors (including myself) start turning our attention to some other content additions that are probably a bit overdue. For instance:
- History of the United Church of Christ (that is, not the history of our predecessors or the story of the merger, but our 50 years of history since 1957)
- Stances on social issues (and not just the ones that seem to be 'controversial' within the UCC)
- Traditions and Practices (now, this is obviously a difficult set, given the diversity of the UCC, but I am of the mind that there are probably at least some unifying things in this regard that probably apply to most, even if not all, UCC congregations and settings -- as an example, maybe the survey results from Worshipping Into God's Future could give some guidance on practices of worship)
- Theological beliefs (again, a difficult one for the same reason; but again, we might be able to settle on some descriptors either of unifying characteristics, maybe guided by the overall thrust of the wider theological families and histories that most of our congregations come out of [Reformed and Lutheran], or perhaps some description of the range of diversity)
- The PCUSA article has info on membership demographics. Maybe we should too?
Well, anyway, those are some of my thoughts, having looked at the wiki-articles of some of our other mainline Protestant counterparts (PCUSA, ELCA, Episcopal, United Methodist, Disciples). Other thoughts--or better, just go straight to contributing--are certainly welcome. Emerymat 14:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
