Reply from List of converts to Bahá'í from Christianity

 * Perhaps "List of converts to the Bahá'í Faith from Christianity" which fixes a few issues with the current title.
 * This list is a specialization of both another list and a groups - List of Bahá'ís, Category:Bahá'ís by nationality and Category:Converts to the Bahá'í Faith - just want to be sure this is integrated well and balanced with the other article/groups.


 * List of Bahá'ís lists all Bahá'ís, regardless of previous (if any) religion, same as Category:Bahá'ís by nationality. Category:Converts to the Bahá'í Faith is equal to this list (and as such, should contain every well-referenced article in that category). As far as the nomenclature, I'd happily rename it something easier, unfortunately List of converts to the Bahá'í faith from Christianity is a bit awkward. I don't see any issue with the title, perhaps you could elaborate?.. Thanks! Ncboy2010 (talk) 17:07, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying there is direct competition among the articles/cats - just that there should be development in context with eachother. Wasn't sure you saw those.


 * As for the name - saying "List of converts to Bahá'í from Christianity" would be grammatically equivalent to saying "List of converts from Christian to the Baha'i Faith". The word choice is not parallel. The name of the religion, like "Christianity" is "Bahá'í Faith". Saying "Bahá'í faith" uses "faith" in another sense based on the same confusion. Baha'i is an adjective, not a noun but "Bahá'í faith" should be used in naming a series or describing the religion (Christian, Baha'i, Muslim or Islamic faiths, it would be awkward to say Christianity faith for example.)

The Baha'i Faith in St. Lucia
I am working on the page article for Wikipedia. Thank you for being the editor and giving advice. I have the piece written out and am working on it in a Word.dox as well. Why can I not access it to edit it further? How do I include photos? How do I include the side bar that is for instance in the page for "The Baha'i Faith in Barbados". How to insert the links? I saved it and yet it does not appear when I type in search. Is it like a web page that takes about 2 to 3 weeks to show up in search engines? I am .up on working on Wikipedia pages and am therefore looking for the quick assistance to begin to accomplish these tasks with the article. Keith R. Bloodworth, I am of course wishing to turn it into a professional worthwhile article and know it is only at its' very first stages Thank you for editing Keith — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keith R.

 * In steps Keith - in steps. Work in the sandbox as I said and you can even get help in there. It's *purpose* is to learn how to use the editing tools as well as implement the standards of wikipedia. The changes if done right show up in seconds usually. Smkolins (talk) 15:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
