[edit] Conversion to task force?
If anybody is intrested in this project at all, I'd like to recommend that this inactive project be converted to a task force of WikiProject Christianity. This would help by providing the relevant infrastructure, and letting any intrested editors get on with fixing the articles.
If I don't hear from anybody about this soon, I may boldly convert it myself. -- SECisek 14:50, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support - I think the scope of the work group should be specifically reduced to only those articles which directly deal with Christianity, though, rather than the current scope which includes several articles not directly related to Christianity. John Carter 16:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Done. -- SECisek (talk) 20:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- All tags converted to task format. -- SECisek (talk) 22:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coordinator?
It has probably been noticed by most of the editors who frequent this page that there is often a pronounced degree of overlap between the various projects relating to Christianity. Given that overlap, and the rather large amount of content we have related to the subject of Christianity, it has been proposed that the various Christianity projects select a group of coordinators who would help ensure the cooperation of the various projects as well as help manage some project related activities, such as review, assessment, portal management, and the like. Preferably, we would like to consider the possibility of having one party from each of the major Christianity projects included, given the degree of specialization which some of the articles contain. We now are accepting nominations for the coordinators positions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Coordinators/Election 1. Any parties interested in helping performing some of the management duties of the various Christianity projects is encouraged to nominate themselves there. Thank you.

- Much to my surprise, the period for the factual elections of the new coordinators has started a bit earlier than I expected. For what it's worth, as the "instigator" of the proposed coordinators, the purpose of having them is not to try to impose any sort of "discipline" on the various projects relating to Christianity, but just to ensure that things like assessment, peer review, portal maintainance, and other similar directly project-related functions get peformed for all the various projects relating to Christianity. If there are any individuals with this project who are already doing such activities for the project, and who want to take on the role more formally, I think nominations are being held open until the end of the elections themselves. And, for the purposes of this election, any member in good standing of any of the Christianity projects can either be nominated or express their votes at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Coordinators/Election 1. Thank you for your attention. John Carter (talk) 00:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Suggested Article
- I noticed articles connected with Syriac Christianity mention people with the word "Mar" in a context that suggests "Mar" is a title, which, in turn, suggests that there should be an article "Mar". —Preceding unsigned comment added by SlowJog (talk • contribs) 14:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree with what you say, it is true that "Mar" is a title. It can also be prenounced "Mor". "Mor Afrem" would be translated to "Saint Ephraim". Note that the correct translation isn't Saint, there aren't any word that i'm familiour with that corresponds with the word. Therefore, as you say, there should be an article "Mar" or "Mor".

- Agreed as well. If anyone knows enough to be able to start such an article, possibly indicating the definitions of the term and the various ways in which it is used, that would be helpful. If it was required to keep the article, it might include a list of individuals who have been referred to often by that title. John Carter (talk) 23:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
