Hi Michelle! I'm in your RELS452 class and thought I would introduce myself for the week's one assignments. What did you think of the online training? It's so intimidating at first but once I get started editing I know it will all come together. See you in class tomorrow!

Hi Allison! The training was cool! I liked the emphasis on community engagement! See you!

Michelle - I also found that page on sexually active popes and felt very confused! And then I found one on Dog Yoga listed under Hinduism. The internet is a great place.

Welcome!
Hello, Michellerow, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:48, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Articles research
I found this hilarious article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_sexually_active_popes I'm not quite sure why this exists and the talk page seemed to show the same thing. It's rated B-class low importance and has been flagged for deletion so probably not the best to edit but it's hilarious that this exists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarian_Universalism I've heard a bit about the Unitarian church but haven't read much into it but it is engaged with social justice and has unique values. It's rated B-class and high importance so it could be worthwhile to do. A friend of mine did an internship with the Unitarian church and loved it. One of the main values is inter-faith relations and loving all beings which is put into practice (and is refreshing).

Whoa! So the article about prophecy is rated as Top-importance but it's only at a start-class rating. Perhaps this would be a worthwhile endeavor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy As well prophecy covers a variety of religions.

Interesting to see that a page on SBNR exists but is C-class. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spiritual_but_not_religious I guess I figured that since so many people identify as "spiritual but not religious" that perhaps it would be more well done? But then maybe there is hardly any SBNR zealots? This topic could cover a wide range of things, including Mad Men!

This is a great range of articles, Michelle! I think the SBNR one especially would be something that would be well supported by our course readings. Though the Unitarian Church would also be something that would fit under the topic of New Religious Movements, which we cover, too.MonstreDélicat (talk) 17:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
