Christian views on contraception
I'd like to get this article really tight and submit it for good article review and status. Here are some things I am thinking it would be good to have reviewed for


 * 1) Where it might currently grade as per Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment.
 * 2) Is anything important being left out? Emphasized wrongly, too strongly, or not enough? Etc.
 * 3) Does it make good sense to a non-expert?
 * 4) Etc.

 * A couple of things, mainly regarding aesthetics:
 * 1) I don't think the lead is quite appropriate - it sounds like the opening to an essay, rather than to an encylopaedic article.
 * 2) Shouldn't the "Catholic Collaboration Effort" box be on the talk page?
 * 3) It's strange to have Main article: XXX piped to redlinks.
 * 4) The TOC seems oppressive to the visual flow of the article. If it could be moved to the right, it may look more recognisable as a Wikipedia entry.
 * 5) Is "as one can historically trace" normal prosaic style? "As can be historically traced" is probably more objective.
 * 6) The long quotes in the pictureboxes should be moved into the body of the article, with the picture there merely as a reference.
 * 7) Reference #44 appears to be broken.


 * Thanks tons! This is extremely helpful!


 * Anyone else have any other helpful points like these?

 * A couple of things:


 * 1) The article seems to rely on blockquotes a little too much. Could you summarize more of those quotes?
 * 2) There doesn't seem to be anything on the attitudes of the Orthodox church towards contraception. Orthodoxy is a very significant branch of Christianity, and the article will be incomplete without a discussion of Orthodox views.

Hope these are useful to you. MLilburne 09:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The Protestant section samples viewpoints from moderate to conservative, but I don't see any liberal Protestant denominations or clergy mentioned.  Durova  02:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks much. You have both made excellent and helpful points! CyberAnth 03:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

In my quick read I saw no mention of christian views on ecological concerns. Where is the debate (to use the language of Genesis) about the possible conflict inherent in human 'multiplying' and in exercising appropraite 'dominion' over creation? (Just nigel 15:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC))
