To-do list for Cathedral of Christ the Light:	edit · history · watch · refresh
Here are some tasks you can do: Requests: Create original photographs for use in the article. Verify: Find citations for the claims made in the "Costs" section.

[edit] Roman Catholic

I fixed the broken links created when an editor deleted the article of the word "Roman" from all instances of "Roman Catholic," arguing that the Oakland Church is not a "Roman Catholic Church" according to the editor's own definition of the name. However, the diocese itself considers itself the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland (just check the huge wording on the home page of their website), by this definition: "Roman" before "Catholic" is the standard prefix to indicate the Rite of the Church. Anyhoo, on Wikipedia, we use the official titles of our subjects when appropriate and in this case, "Roman Catholic" is part of the diocese' official name of incorporation. --Gerald Farinas (talk) 06:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I rewrote the entire article and added a substantial amount of new information. I also added the required in-text citations we are now to use in all Wikipedia articles. We still need in-text citations for the previous writer's additions concerning the costs of the cathedral. --Gerald Farinas (talk) 06:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] See also

Per Wikipedia convention, see also sections should only have items directly related to the focus of the article. Just because they are Oakland-related, it doesn't mean it's relevant to the article. A reader or researcher, when clicking on a "See also" link, should find extra information on the "Cathedral of Christ the Light" at that destination. If the reader or researcher can't find additional info about the cathedral at that destination, it shouldn't be included in the "See also" list. For example, the cathedral is not in the List of tallest buildings in Oakland and therefore that link should not be in the cathedral "See also" list.

Also, if the link is already included in the main body of the article, for example Lake Merritt, there is no need to repeat the link in a "See also" list.

The following was removed from the main body of the article. --Gerald Farinas (talk) 03:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
