Silk Route Museum AfD discussion

If enough good sources can be found to satisfy the existence of this museum, I hope the article can be voted to be kept. However, I think if this article cannot be kept, the important information about it can be merged into one of the articles in question (the province or the city). I actually went thru a somewhat bitter AfD discussion about a hospital in the Philippines one person claimed was a hoax. I was very frustrated, as I found photos and various references on it. The worst part is I was actually at this place twice. I finally won on this. Please see my latest two notes in the current AfD discussion. Bill Pollard (talk) 01:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Reg Vinod Kambli

HI

Can you please let me know the reason why the edits on Vinod Kambli were removed. Shivramkrishnareddy (talk) 12:40, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I agree that the edits by the above user to Vinod Kambli were not relevant. But issuing a final warning was not appropriate, unless I am missing something? — Abhishek  ^Talk 13:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I agree, I was using Huggle, which issues a final warning if there is already a serious notice on the page, such as the copyvio one already there. Sorry.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:52, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Could you demonstrate consensus for redirecting/merging this article? Thanks --Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

No, I don't need to "demonstrate consensus" for redirect or merge. That was decided at the talk page of the main article. You need to take this issue up with all of the editors of the main article, the vast majority of which believe that there should be no separate articles on these two individuals, at least for right now. Please do not bring this to my talk page again. If you want to continue to discuss this topic please take it to the appropriate place, which is, once again, the talk page of the main article. You can find the appropriate place for this discussion here: This is place.--ExclusiveAgent (talk) 17:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for that; I had looked but couldn't find any discussion of it so I created the article, and have already add a section to the talk page about it.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 18:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Members of the covenant, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Egyptian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Yes, gladly. I'll work on it tomorrow (Monday). I'll post my comments to the article's talk page unless you have a different preference. Finetooth (talk) 02:08, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 08:14, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I posted some suggestions to the talk page this morning. The review is incomplete, and I probably didn't need to point out the missing citations since you are aware of that problem already. It's a really tough topic; I always find it difficult to check what other editors have added in the past, especially if they've provided no sources or sources that I don't have access to. In the case of a famous topic like this, the problem is exacerbated by the intense interest of many editors over time. Finetooth (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much, if you ever have anything that needs reviewing I'd be happy to have a look at it.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 17:54, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

May 2013

Membership report
The parent Christianity WikiProject currently has 363 active members. We would like to welcome our newest members, Pleonic, MJWilliams1998, Iloilo Wanderer, Jkadavoor, Sir Ian and McBenjamin. Thank you all for your interest in this effort. We would be able to achieve nothing here without the input of all of you. If any members, new or not, wish any assistance, they should feel free to leave a message at the Christianity noticeboard or with me or other individual editors to request it.

From the Editor

This month we hear the news that the Bible is to be made into a film after outstanding success of a biblical miniseries on the History Channel, and we have seen the release of Iraqi Pastor Ali Hamzah from his confinement in Iraq.

After last month's spotlight on the Jesus work group, the flagship article, Jesus, was nominated for Good Article status after much work from FutureTrillionaire and History2007, and provisionally passed by the reviewer, although they have requested a second opinion. Our many thanks for the hard work that has gone into restoring this article to a quality piece of work.

This month the second largest denomination of Christianity, the Eastern Orthodox Church, celebrates Easter and the death and resurrection of the Son of God Jesus Christ.

P.S. Please click here to add the new Christianity noticeboard to your watchlist to follow the latest discussions relevant to WikiProject Christianity and subprojects.

Church of the month

Wells Cathedral was this month promoted to GA status. Rodw has appealed for any help project members can give to improve this article for a FA nomination.

Contest of the month
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. By John Carter

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report;

Featured report; Madonna in the Church, by Ceoil, Truthkeeper88, and Johnbod was promoted to Featured Article status. Crucifixion and Last Judgement was promoted to featured picture status, after nomination by Crisco 1492.

Wells Cathedral, by Rodw, Robert of Ghent, by User:Ealdgyth, Christianity in Medieval Scotland, by Sabrebd, and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, also by Sabrebd were promoted to GA status.

Also these past months, the DYKs on the main page included Lectionary 311, by Leszek Jańczuk; Herr Christ, der einig Gotts Sohn, by Gerda Arendt; Whalsay Parish Church, by Ipigott, Rosiestep, Nvvchar, Dr. Blofeld; Interpretatio Christiana, by Altenmann; First Congregational Church, Salt Lake City, by Orlady; Church of King Charles the Martyr, Royal Tunbridge Wells, by The C of E; First Church in Albany (Reformed), by Daniel Case; Pope Anastasius II, by AbstractIllusions; Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Palma, by Dr. Blofeld, Ipigott, Rosiestep; Colan Church, by Rosiestep, Nvvchar, Ipigott; Notre Dame Cathedral, Papeete, Bloom6132, Church of St. Wenceslaus (New Prague, Minnesota), by Elkman; St. Joseph Catholic Church (San Antonio, Texas), by Gilliam; Doubting Thomas, by Johnbod; Robert of Ghent, by Ealdgyth; and Holy Trinity Church, Holdgate, by Peter I. Vardy. Our profoundest thanks and congratulations to all those involved!

Christian art

This depiction of the Crucifixion and Last Judgement was painted by Dutch artist Jan van Eyck and promoted to Featured Picture this month.

Spotlight

SPOTLIGHT

This month, we turn our attention to the Encyclopedic articles sub-group, which aims to provide "a collection point for lists of articles contained in other reference sources relating to Christianity, which could serve as a basis for developing our own content". Created by John Carter, it is primarily a list of links, red or otherwise, for subjects which have an article in the reference works listed therein. This serves as a very useful list if any project members are "stuck for what to do" and there remains lots of potential for articles developed from this list.

By Gilderien

Calendar
This coming month (end-April through end-May) includes Easter Sunday for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Matthias the Apostle, The Venerable Bede, and Empress Helena.

Thanks, but I do not read newsletters. I have actually completed much of my content work on various topics (as on my user page) and now just watch pages most of the time. But there are still some new items, e.g. as of the past few days... Thanks. History2007 (talk) 18:06, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

GA-DYKRFC

Thanks for the invite to have a look at this, but the most pressing unanswered question is still not addressed: why DYK? There are five content areas on the Main Page (six if you include the newly-added Today's Article For Improvement). So why DYK? Prioryman (talk) 21:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, if GAs are to be allowed into any section, it makes the most sense to allow it into DYK - the "hook" format would allow an easy and painless way of getting Good Articles onto the main page, and our review process allows additional oversight onto what goes on to the main page. I cannot see a feasible way of adding GAs to any other section currently on the main page, and adding another section would firstly unbalance the page and secondly also be out of sight of the typical monitor screen, as well as probably not being sustainable without having only a small section and repeating items that had already been a DYK or ITN. Furthermore, whilst there have been calls for a section to be replaced to allow a GA section, I cannot really see any section being removed (the inertia with editors involved being the main stumbling block) except for possibly DYK, which obviously neither of us want. The idea that sections could be alternated is an intriging one, although with the FA promotion rate ticking along at more than one a day I cannot imagine the TFA section would agree to it. Likewise, OTD and ITN are topical and so having an alternating section with them would probably prove incredibly unpopular. Furthermore, although this was not the original intention of my proposal, this would probably allay the concerns of the group which seems to want to do away with DYK altogether, as there seems to be general consensus that the "quality" of the average GA, however one might define it, is greater than the quality of the average DYK. Even if this proposal did not convince them of the value of the DYK project having the valuable real-estate, it would, through the involvement of two projects, however tangentially, in the creation of the articles in DYK hooks, make it a lot harder to get rid of DYK as it would also mean that GA writers would be giving up their chance to showcase their work on the main page. I hope this answers your questions.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 22:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
