[edit] Newsletter

YesY Done. We should get some people to start working on the second one. --Wikihermit(Speak) £ 03:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Most other WikiProjects usually do it monthly. I think this would be good for WP:X too. Wikihermit(Speak) £ 03:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Breaking the rules at WP:X (^_^) I created the work group Outreach. I think we will be able to organize and run everything from there. I was taking a look at some other WikiProjects, and a lot of them have this. They also have welcome templates included in "Outreach" (see WP:WPBIO), so we could move the template user:Wikihermit/Christ into the mainspace area. The whole project has loss momentum, and we need to get it up and running again. Wikihermit(Speak) £ 03:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Will do. The only thing I probably need help with is drumming up some interest in getting the outreach task force going. We probably need about 3-5 Wikipedians to get the next newsletter out. --Wikihermit(Speak) £ 03:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Azusa Street Revival

[edit] Review Part 2

previously i mentioned much punctuation and overall structure, which should be applied to the whole article. for the rest, i'll try to focus more on readability, style and the sections as they relate to the topic\article.

Yquotes should be quoted: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Quotation_marks.

I believe this if fixed now, please specify if not.

YThere was prayer for, and in, tongues, for the sick, for missionaries, and whatever requests were given by attenders or mailed in. <--awkward

i see you added an image to the William J. Seymour page, but i think that, that needs to be re-written as well. Much information can be put into that article, from this one and then reference to his main article for more information. I think at times sections almost turn into things strictly related to Seymour and not as much on this topic.


Ytitled "Weird Babel of Tongues,"[18] a Los Angeles Times reporter a should be titled "Weird Babel of Tongues",[18] a Los Angeles Times reporter a or titled "Weird Babel of Tongues"[18], a Los Angeles Times reporter a or titled "Weird Babel of Tongues", a Los Angeles Times reporter a with the reference at the end of the sentence.


YI do not believe that the use of ... in the quotes was properly used... i'll have to look into that further. but it is very inconsistent how you use "" here but not above.

The "..." is part of the direct quote from the source.

transitions from one quote or idea to another need to be strengthen and binded more efficiently.


YIt contained a letter from Charles Parham, an article on Pentecost from Acts, and a series of anecdotes of people's experience within the revival.[1] not properly referenced

the same years are linked multiple times


YAzusa Street in Pop Culture

   * Today a Christian group that plays pop-punk, from Cd. Juarez, Mexico is named "Asuza St." after this revival.

no offense, but is that seriously a section ?

i think the article can still use a second overhaul. weaving ideas together, reducing redundancy and fixing punctuation and style. i think finding a second editor to come through and give it a second set of eyes is prolly best, as well i can image you getting burned out from working on this page so much :P

good luck buddy, let me know if there is anything else i can do. MatthewYeager 23:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:X

Hey how are you doing? I was thinking about WikiProject Christianity, and I think we should do a major revamp of the entire project. On a small note, we need to work on the next newsletter for the project. Drop me a link at my talk page. Thanks! ~ Wikihermit 01:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and put this into the page. ~ Wikihermit 03:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup involution task

Hi,

myles324a here. I’ve had a bit of time, so I’m going thru the cleanup list, and seeing what I can do. I’ve had a fair bit of experience proofreading and editing, and I thought to bring it to bear on some of these entries. I’m basically a newbie, so maybe you can point me in the right direction. I have an amateur interest in philosophical / metaphysical and scientific topics, and I agree with your assessment that involution entry is just about done. It pretty much is what it is, anyway? How far can you go with this sort of stuff anyway? And it would be good to see some of these articles OFF the cleanup list. I’m going to give it a once-over and then put it in for decertification. (How do you do that?) There are a couple of awkward and confusing sentence constructions, and I don’t hold with e.g.s and i.e’s in formal text of this kind. What is the policy there? I will post my queries on the discussion page and here, if you want me to. Myles325a 04:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, myles back here. I've now finished work on Involution:Philosopy. I think it can be taken off Cleanup. Myles325a 06:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great Commission Association

(Copied from my talk, Said: Rursus 10:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC))

I noticed your name on the WP:X membership page, and saw that you had been casually working with a few denomination pages already. I would really appreciate it if you would drop by Great Commission Association and give us any suggestions you can on how we can improve the article. Some fresh eyes and NPOV edits would be greatly appreciated. Nswinton\talk 00:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your confidence in me! I wager, since your needing some fresh eyes, that the topic is interesting, despite me not knowing about it. I'll try to make my best by reading myself into the Great Commission Association. Said: Rursus 10:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William M. Branham

I have a particular interest in this subject and I've been responsible for adding most of the references. I have noted your latest changes and would like to ask your advice about specific improvements that can be made. I am aware that some of those who hold strong beliefs have added personal viewpoints, not appreciating encyclopedic style, but where possible I am interested in locating references to support the claims that have been made. Rev107 10:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)



I have to confess that I am not exactly "neutral" about this topic - I have studied the life and ministry of William Branham very extensively and I am convinced that he is the real thing. Of course that does not mean I agree entirely with what everyone else says though. My main interest is in locating references that can substantiate, not the beliefs but rather the events of this man's life, including witnesses of what I believe to be supernatural occurrences. I realize that verifying the supernatural is very difficult to reconcile with an encyclopedic style!

I will take a look at the 'Great commission church movement' and give you my personal response. Rev107


I am having difficulty following all the recent changes back and forth. Do you really think it is necessary to provide citations for the numerous factual details of William Branham's life that are not controversial and are agreed upon by all major biographers, both the pro and and con (Harrell; Weaver; Lindsay; Jorgensen).

It is unfortunate that some people get a bit heated when things they hold dear are disputed. My original request was that you give me a personal response to the article, with your suggestions. I would like to see the article improved by adding references where appropriate, but not to excess by referencing every minor detail, especially when they are not in dispute.

I have added a comment on the dicussion page under "vandalism".

PS...sorry about transgressing your 'bottom of the page' instruction! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rev107 (talkcontribs) 05:28, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Rev107 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rev107 (talkcontribs) 05:14, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Nate, I appreciate the time you've taken to help with the article on William M. Branham. I can see why you've changed the citation formatting - the way I've done it, there is a spaces in the references/footnotes next to each number when I have more than one reference. You've successfully removed that space but there is now a star rather than a little blue block, which I'm not really satisfied with either (Eg, see ref #1) Any suggestions? BTW, do you think I can remove the "additional references or sources" tag yet? Ken Rev107 03:09, 22 September 2007 (UTC)



Don't worry about the "hate group" - as far as I can tell it is only one person (63.111.163.13 ) and because of his/her involvement in Star Wars and other topics, I have doubts about his/her maturity and commitment. "Strawberry Island" (in "discussion") and myself are more representative of those who see God in the ministry of William Branham I think.
My personal preference for referencing is that all multiple references appear the same in the list at the end (blue block) because I like uniformity, and some might wonder why one reference appears different to the others.
There are further improvements I would like to make to the article but I'm reluctant to make great changes as it was not originally my project - I have limited myself pretty much to referencing, additions, and minor rewording.
BTW have you seen my "vandalism " of the Azusa Street Revival article?  :)

[edit] Armored Core (video game)

You tagged Armored Core (video game) as 'tooshort'. Can you tell me what needs to be added? RJFJR 14:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

reply to your reply:

I added some of the material you mentioned and removed the tooshort tag for the intro. There really isn't that much to say about this game in the intro (to me it's just another game, I haven't even played it). It looks like a nice concise intro to me now. Thank you for the response.
