Talk:St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (Maria Stein, Ohio)

Recommendations for improvement
The following are suggested improvements:


 * See-also section (is this church patterned off another church?). Chances are this church was patterned off one in Europe which could be the see-also.
 * Style - It is familiar to ones I have seen but perhaps could elaborated and compared to other church(es) on the east coast (see this section of L.A. archodiocese for examples.
 * Prose - Is the article written from the neutral point of view
 * Copyedits - Third-party copyeditors should be invited to fine tune this article to improve it to potential GA status.
 * Photos - Interior shots should be uploaded to WikiCommons with a link to where the all the pictures can be seen as a media gallery. The gallery could also feature shots of all its profile
 * Tower type -Is the tower a tower, bell tower or belfry (I do not know much about this type style of architecture)? Is it a cupola (probably not). Is there an interesting documented story that could be concisely told and cited?
 * Notable events - Is there is anything notable about the interior (its altars, patron saint, etc.) that should be elaborated in a concise manner.
 * Who was the founding order? Find the wikilink.
 * Red wikilinks exist in the article. Take care of them.
 * Further notability - has this church had a notable celebration or occasion there?
 * Copyedit, copyedit, copyedit. I think I mentioned that but repetitive copyedits to where this article is rock-solid stable will take it to the next class level.--Morenooso (talk) 22:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
