From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a WikiProject, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of a particular topic, or to organizing some internal Wikipedia process.

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to the Church of the Nazarene. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Departments

[edit] Hierarchy definition

TBD

[edit] Goals

  1. Write an article for each Nazarene college or university.
  2. Write an article about the branches and what they do? (Sunday School Ministries, NCM, Mission Corps/NIVS, Nazarene Disater Response, NYI, Nazarene Youth Conference, M7, ext.)
  3. Write an article about a hierarchical concept of the COTN: the District concept. Or, better yet, write an article with an appropriate title discussing the various breakdowns in the Church entire, while also compiling a list similar to the Nazarene school list for each region, district, etc. denoting their associations ("The Maine District Church of the Nazarene is part of the Eastern USA Region of the Church of the Nazarene associated with Eastern Nazarene College...") There is already a Georgia District article. We should have more, and we can take the small synopsis from the COTN article and add a note to see these more detailed pages.
  4. Write an article for every General Superintendent ever (see /General Superintendent MiniProject).

[edit] Tasks

  1. Add all articles relevant to the project to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Church of the Nazarene/Articles page by category.
  2. Use the recent changes function to check on improvement, vandalism, and other changes to these articles.

?

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

NOTE: Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.
