To-do list for Brazil:

[edit] Translated from Portuguese

I translated this page from the Portuguese equivalent, leaving out a complex prelude about various attempts to create a Brazilian national church which probably needs its own article. I am not an expert on this denomination, nor am I fluent in Portuguese, so I would be overjoyed if someone who was one of these or both checked over my article.

[edit] Membership Figures

The ICAB website gives a figure of 14 million members in Brazil. Someone has added the comment that analysts say there are really only a few thousand members. The source of this statement should be cited/linked. I'm not doubting the numbers, since I have no idea personally, but sources for divergent information like this should be cited. Thanks.

I've updated the international membership to 2 million, per the ICAN website as of 6/12/2007. Timotheos 19:04, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inquiries

More context regarding events leading to the creation of ICAB can be obtained here [1]. Also, membership info can be confirmed with the church's Apostolic Delegate to the United States, Bp. Andre Queen (appointed by Dom Luis Fernando Castillo Mendez in 2005), at (312) 994-2339 [posted publicly on the church's website]. Pax! Dcn. Steve (Slohrenz 13:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] GA?

Somebody should nominate this for GA. -- SECisek 09:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to go ahead and nominate it. Anyone can nominate an article for GA, and it's good to get the feedback from reviewers on how to improve the article. Timotheos 13:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I already have three articles rotting on the GA candidate list - waiting for review - or else I would have nominated this one myself. If somebody else nominates it, I'll judge it. I have never edited it. -- SECisek 13:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

1. Well written. Clear prose and layout. Y Done

2. Accurate and verifiable. Footnotes from reliable sources. Y Done Needs more citation if possible.

3. Broad. Major topics are covered with no unnecessary details. Y Done

4. Neutral. Y Done

5. Stable. Y Done

6. Images. Appropriate with fair use rationale. Y Done More pictures would be nice, too.


Could also use an info box. Not even close to FA, but good enough. Well done and keep up the good work here. -- SECisek 04:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
