[edit] Rebuild the page?

Is there any interest in redesigning this page using the common format other portals have followed? Chonak 03:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re-vamp of this portal

I've begun a rather major re-vamp of this portal, given that it's become quite chunky and cumbersome, with columns overlapping, images misaligning, etc. As a first stage, I'm removing all images on the page to a separate 'holding box', so we can sort out the text, links, tools, etc. Then we can go about forming a standard layout and adding back in the images in appropriate places. —Antonios Aigyptos^talk 11:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Update: I've converted the portal to the standardised box style, which has tidied up the look a lot. Have gone with a brown colour scheme, as it goes well with images of icons.

In the new layout have also followed the example of some other portals and added a featured article and featured image section. —Antonios Aigyptos^talk 13:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christianity Dispute -- Input needed

There is currently a dispute on the Christianity page about the use of the terms Nestorian and Jacobite to refer to the Assyrian and the Syrian churches. Please come by the talk page and give some input to the discussion. Pastordavid 17:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

No one has been here to update anything in 10 months. I can take the time and care to make sure this portal is tended to. I would hope that someone comes by and inputs their ideas for December! I am trying to extend out as much as possible the features so they are fresh and everyone learns something they are not familiar with. Monsieurdl 21:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
