From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Welcome!
We hope you like this place and decide to stay.
Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset.
If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library.
Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.
[edit] Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- Please sign and date your entries on talk pages using four tildes like this: ~~~~
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you'd like to improve your wikipedia skills, check out the Bootcamp. It's fun.
- If you're bored and want to find something to do, check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
Happy Wiki-ing.

[edit] purgatory?
Do you have any interest in editing the purgatory page? It's recently been overhauled to promote the Catholic POV. Jonathan Tweet 20:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
My advice would be to cite sources, be ready to see your additions deleted, and work the talk page. Jonathan Tweet 18:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding the Trinity article.
Miguel de Servet,
I don't mean to seem contentious with my edits. I hate arguments, and I am only editing the article for what I believe to be a good reason. I'm eager to hear your opinion about my reasoning. Thank you for your concern for the article's quality. --C.Logan 17:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jesus Seminar
You added "fact" tags to the "apocalyptic Jesus" paragraph. The reference in the paragraph should address the need for references. Doesn't it? Jonathan Tweet 17:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP Christianity
Hi, I saw your name on the WikiProject Christianity Membership page.
I've made some changes to the WP Christianity main project page, added several sup-project pages, created a few task forces section, and proposed several more possible changes so that we can really start making some serious progress on the project. Please stop by and see my comments on the project talk page here and consider joining a task force or helping out with improving and contributing to our sub-projects. Thanks for your time! Nswinton 14:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Jacques Derrida. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Thank you. -- Rbellin|Talk 14:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
In case you didn't notice, that recipe site is one of Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks, not an independent source. -- Rbellin|Talk 14:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, and since it was an honest mistake, I'm sorry about using the spam template in place of typing a real message. I'm sure those lines wouldn't be that hard to find supporting citations for, but no one has made that a priority -- and removing them would likely cause some dissatisfaction among people who want to see more anti-Derrida POV represented in the article. -- Rbellin|Talk 18:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

That way, this project would have a better idea which articles do not fall within the specific scope of any of the other related projects. Articles can be "tagged" by placing {{ChristianityWikiProject}} in the articles talk page.

Your edits on there are violating WP:BLP, which is serious and will get you blocked. The blog you cite to specifically states it has no affiliation to Brownback. If you continue to put the material in, you will end up blocked. Reverting violations of WP:BLP are outside the realm of the WP:3RR rule, so I will continue to revert you if you continue to restore the information. Blogs are not reliable sources, especially blogs unaffiliated with the person in question. There are numerous policies this violates. This is your first warning. --David Shankbone 21:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with User:David Shankbone. The source you are citing does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources; if you want to demonstrate that this is true and important, you'll need to cite a newspaper or magazine article. That should be easy to find; if Brownback has really publicly stated that the Earth does not orbit the Sun, then it will have been reported on by many, many more reliable sources. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

They are not, however, endowed with any special executive powers, nor with any authority over article content or editor conduct.The Lead Coordinator bears overall responsibility for coordinating the project; the Assistant Coordinators aid the Lead Coordinator and focus on specific areas that require special attention.
- The nomination period for coordinators is currently ongoing at Election 2008
- Nominations for open positions will be open through 23:59 (UTC) on April 30 and project members should vote for any candidates they support by April 11 2008.
- The election will be conducted using simple approval voting. Any member of the project may support as many of the candidates as they wish. The candidate with the highest number of endorsements will become the Lead Coordinator (provided he or she is willing to assume the post); the next four candidates will become Coordinators.

Welcome to the Sixth issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.
Luckily, you all won't have to see my comments very often, as very little I have to say is really that important. But I would like to take the opportunity to say that I hope everyone finds the new General Forum page useful for discussing ideas relevant to Christianity in general, and feels free to make any additional comments regarding general Christianity there. Also, if any of you feel that you want to place a comment here in the future, please let us know what you want included. We would encourage all members to get more involved and if you are wondering what with, please ask. Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.
