Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Discussion regarding project organization
Any comments regarding the structure and function of Christianity related material are welcome at WikiProject Christianity/General Forum. Be prepared for some rather lengthy comments, though. There is a lot of material to cover there. John Carter (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Aramaic language FAR

Oriental Orthodoxy navigation box
It doesn't seem that there is a box similar to Template:Roman Catholicism2 for use on the most important articles relating to Oriental Orthodoxy. Would the members of this project object to such a template, and, if you do think it is a good idea, which articles would you want to see included in it? I would think that the articles included would be effectively the most important ones, as those are the ones which give the best indication of the totality of the subject.

 * We have the general Eastern Christianity one, but I would be open to designing a second one if other will contribute suggestions. -Secisek (talk) 10:24, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merger
For the purposes of centralized discussion, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy/Archives/2014/December. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 16:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Please visit the above link and give your thoughts and views. The know-it-alls are proposing killing this project and subsuming it under the diophysite "Eastern Orthodox Church", on a pretext of "lack of participation" here making this project "useless".  Apparently not too many members here have noticed, which may have been the intention, given the way it was announced above, and discussion diverted to that page.

Patriarch of Antioch pretends "he is not from this world".... Bishops with no ethics.... Catholic Uniates aiming to gain from this tensions.....what should the layman do?. U tell.... its a suicide situation here.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexyalex (talk • contribs) 16:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Um, a bit of clarification please, as it's hard to tell what you are specifically talking about? John Carter (talk) 16:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Consultation on renaming article: Roman Catholic Church --> Catholic Church

Christianity coordinators elections
Any parties interested in being one of the coordinators of WikiProject Christianity and its various related projects is encouraged to list themselves as a candidate at WikiProject Christianity/Coordinators/Election 2. It would be particularly beneficial if we had individuals from as broad a range of areas of the project as possible, to help ensure that we have people knowledgable about the widest range of content possible.
